That's what I say too! Except, I can't say it too often to DH. Every time I have a good catalog show - or a good run of online orders, he always comments that I should just stay home and do those.:rolleyes:
Silly man!

Well, I put "The Best Outlet Selection EVER!", and I have close to $700 in outlet sales in the last 4 days!:D
 
Welcome back Carolyn! I like the 2nd or 3rd one. My email title was Awesome Deals in the Outlet RIGHT NOW! And this was my email (see attached). I copied and pasted the entire thing into an email.

LOL! I had one past host who called me to chew me out for sending her the email (teasingly)....and then placed a $130 order!

But I do have some great customers. Several who have placed orders have called to tell me that they were - and then just wanted to chat for a few minutes. Many of my customers/hosts have become friends. I love that part of my job!

Could someone PM me their website addy so I can take a peek? Like Sara I'd love some of the things (peeked at Linda's teaser) Carolyn, if I want something do I order through there or do I have the US consultant order it and then reship to me? I'm thinking I'll have to pay shipping twice if I found a willing US consultant since you're not allowed to 'sell' to Canadians, correct? So double shipping?
 
Oops, never mind. DUH ME! :o I just saw the last part of her website in Carolyn's above post so I'm heading there to check it out.
 
I decided to bite the bullet and send out an email regarding the outlet - I already got a $33.25 order since last night. Hopefully more people will decide they just can't pass up on the bargains!
 
I sent out my email and as of last night I was at $67.48 ! Wahoooo!
 
Jodi, Yeah.. I tried placing an order on someone's site from here and it wouldnt let me have it shipped directly here.

Thanks for the offer about shipping it to me!
 
I sent my email out on friday... And have $107 in outlet sales so far!:D
 
Well, it's been nuts and a bit stressful around here and I just read through this thread this morning so I "borrowed" Becky's wording and sent out an extra email to follow up last weeks newsletter. I'm so thankful to read about how God is filling in the holes in your schedule with these orders Becky! He's too cool! I'm praying for that same filling in recruiting. I KNOW He's got a few out there just waiting and I'm being a bit impatient to see who is going to respond! But in the midst of my impatience maybe I'll see some web orders too and when it's HIS time for a recruit, He will do it so that HE gets the glory! YAHOO! I am looking forward to both! Praise God for each of you who have already received orders from your outlets!!!!!
 
I just got my first outlet order!! $37.00!!! I'll take it! Yay!

Jodi, you'd have to have it shipped to me but if it's lightweight stuff it should be cheap for me to then turn around & ship it up to you.
 
YIKES! I just made a horrible realization! Some people were having trouble reading the directions to locate the outlet, so I sent a couple of people a "shortcut" link by just going to my site, choosing option 2 , selecting outlet, then copying the link and sending it to them. One gal reported back how easy it was to place her order, and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get it to show up on CC. So I went back to my sent folder, followed the link I had sent her, and it by-passes my site completely! (even though that's where it originated) I can kiss that $32.00 order good-bye! (She had handed me her order, and I told her to just place it herself to save the hassle of getting me her cc #.
AUGHHHHHHHHH! Hope someone else can learn from my mistake!

I think that was what the paragraph in the Weekly bites was about a couple weeks ago, warning about how when you link to your site like that it will go to the HO lead system instead.

Sorry it happened to you!
 
Live and learn. I don't remember reading that in Weekly Bites. I'll have to go back and read more carefully. My customer is going to see about canceling her order.

So I am alittle confused I did read the weekly bites about that. So does that mean when I sent my email it bypassed me too. How do I know? Cause some more people did say there were going to order but I never got anything so I just figured they did end up ordering, but maybe I was worng.>>Oh man how do I tell.

I was going to go back and find it for you - but now I can't find it. Maybe that isn't where I read it.:confused:
I know I read it somewhere, because there was a thread about it on here.
