Wow, Becky! That is awesome. I am halfway through sending my newsletter (HWC script from the PWS, with another paragraph blurb directing customers to my website). I will be sure to add your script (with my contact info) to the rest of them.

I am new, where is this outlet. I can't find it.

ChefEileen,

Do you have a Personal Website?

If so, you will find it under "Order Products"

I'm sure Becky wouldn't complain about getting your orders. ;)
 
OK, that explains it. No website yet. I am really new

Still in my first 30 days.
 
Eileen, you can get a website right away. It can be a boon to your hosts, with online invitations, etc. But you won't be able to get the outlet on your PWS until you qualify.
 
I just sent the email for the first time, I included my sister who lives in Puerto Rico and one of her co-workers is interested in the mini fluted pan...............yay!

But the shipping is horrible---15% of the total order

we'll see what happens:confused:
 
I sent my email! I really hope to hear back from someone. I don't have very good feedback from people on my email mailing list. So we'll see.

No outlets are individual orders only. The products are discounted so much that they would for sure loose out on $4 shipping.

No - the outlet cannot be included with a show.
 
Woot! $84.75 in online activity in 3 orders since this morning!
 
$248 in orders since 1:00 today.. YEAH!!
the big sellers are the kitchen shears and small bowl caddy.
 
MAN! I'm so bummed right now. I was trying to send out an email about this last night. When I hit send there was some sort of error and I told it to save the message. It didn't of course, so as I am in the process of re-typing the whole thing I accidentally press enter (I think, I'm not sure really what happend, I was going back and forth between web pages). Anyway, the email got sent prematurely. It did have the info that there was some great deals on the outlet and a couple examples. But I hadn't gotten to the directions of how to get to the outlet.
I had already sent out 2 newsletters in the month of April and this so I didn't want to do ANOTHER follow up email with directions on it. Hopefully people will go to my website and look around and see that I have the directions listed there. Hasn't happened yet though. grrrr :grumpy:

Ok, just had to vent. pity party over.

WOO HOO for those of you who are getting awesome business from the outlet! :balloon: :thumbup:
 
I got an $82 order just from my newsletter, I haven't sent out an extra email. But maybe I will!
 
I just sent out my email about the outlet. Keeping my fingers crossed!
 
All my people must be poor :D
No bites yet...keeping my fingers crossed though!
 
1 order-$44.75 so far....
 
Ok, I'm feeling better now. I've received 2 responses to the email requesting a total of 3 pairs of kitchen shears. This is from an email that didn't even have a title! (if you don't know what I'm talking about see my lil rant earlier on this thread). I'm hoping that now that I gave them directions to go check out the outlet, they will see other things they want and the pink products and BUY BUY BUY!! YAY!
 
I just sent mine - fingers crossed!

And, I'm off to order more Guacamole seasoning and the kitchen shears! woot!
 
Small gain from my e-mail - $12. That's $12 I didn't have before! Hoping for more!
 
Just got an online activity email for $43 from my outlet email . . .wowowowo keep they coming. You guys are the best thanks for the ideas. Keeping mky fingers crossed more come in cause I did have some more response about the outlet email.
 
What is everyone putting in the subject for the e-mail so it catches your customers eyes?
 
Sent my extra email about the outlet this morning: 2 orders - $77.51! Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!

Jolene - Hey my best friend from forever is named Jolene. I always thought her name was so beautiful and unique!

hahah! I think just about anything is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!! Especially $77 worth of orders.


Thanks about the name. Usually people start singing Dolly Parton's song to me. I'm a country girl, so I guess it's cool :p
Always made it easy at school. I've always been the only Jolene.
 
so far got a $41 order from the e-mail (funny, the things she ordered WEREN'T outlet items!)

I put "The Best Outlet Selection EVER!"
 
Becky and I were thinking of the same thing at the same time. I only sent out the outlet e-mail to past hosts with a reminder that they could use their PHD. I promise guests that I'll only send out an e-mail once a month, which will be next Tuesday for this month. I did get one order. Last month I received an order for $117 from the outlet.

I found out about the most recent order, yesterday, on my shipment status page before I received the e-mail update about online orders. So, if you're curious throughout the day as to whether you have an individual order from the outlet, check shipment status on Consultants Corner.

Same here, I STILL haven't received an e-mail about online activity, but I see the order there showing received on my shipment status page. The order number is a hotlink that you can click on and see details of the order.
