That's great Stacy I hope more come pouring in for you.

Darn it, the platter is gone...I hope it pops up again, I could really use one!

I had someone purchase the linens. Not sure what all is left. Apparently it keeps changing. Weird!

I just got an almost $30 outlet/catalog order - just sent an email out yesterday - glad to see something come of it - hopefully many more will follow

 

[Jules711]

I've had about $250 in sales today in response for my sale. Only a couple of outlet things though. Hopefully, the outlet will straighten out and not change so much. It would be nice if they had a quantity count down if it's less than 50 or something!

Have you sent that suggestion to HO or the website tech people. It's a SUPER idea!

 

[jrstephens]

Congrats to all of you that have gotten website sales! I sent my email out yesterday, so far nothing but maybe they have not had time to look yet.

 

[quiverfull7]

I just got my first... she emailed with some questions so I don't know how big it will be but it's an order.. .yahoo!

 

[jrstephens]

I just had someone call me wanting to know if we had any cookware on sale, they could not find the outlet on my website.. I walked them to it of course. Keeping my fingers crossed here!

HO needs to make the Outlet EASY for people to find!

 

[quiverfull7]

I agree... I guess we need to call or email that as a request.

 

[dannyzmom]

I got TEN online orders yesterday from the email I sent out Monday night!!!!!

 

[stacywhitlow]

I just got another $44 order! Apparently the linens are pretty popular. Each order had a set of 8 on there.

Can someone give me the wording that you used for the recent outlet bargains? I just had 2 men order today on my website.. One ordered $100 in gift certificates.... Let's hope they don't call me to redeem them. I get that alot at shows and they get upset when I can't take them.

[jrstephens]

I jsut got an order for $123.75. YAHOO!!! I rarely get online orders! I think next week I am going to resend the same email with a reminder that Dec 15th is the last day to order for Christmas delivery.

Glad my attachment helped you out RHonda!:chef:

Are you sending this out as a separate email? I would like to send one, but I try not to send out more than one email a month & I have already sent out my newsletter. Do you think people would mind????

I send mine out as a seperate email. I send out the newsletter and then send out quick tips and tid bits when I see something I think people would like. Some months I may send 2-3 emails out. No one has ever said they mind getting more than one. I have had thank yous and compliments on sending out the tips.

I think people do not mind especially when you are telling them about a great sale or deal. But then you may know your customers better than me.

Thanks. Maybe I'll add a few holiday time saving tips or something if I can find some, along with the outlet email. I don't think they'd mind, but I tell them at shows that I just send out a monthly newsletter. I don't want them thinking they are going to start getting stuff from me once a week.

If you start the note with a disclaimer, then that may smooth some riffled feathers:
"I usually only send one note a month, but I was so excited about the specials offered in the outlet that I just had to share!"

 

[pamperedgirl3]

Thank you to all of you who posted info about sending emails to customers about the great outlet deals. I just received $126.25 in outlet orders TODAY! I just sent out the email last night!!!! One ordered cookware & the other ordered the fall linens best buy. I'm so excited! This order helps to get me closer to hitting level 1 (I had a Dec show cancel this week so I was getting worried), plus I may actually hit $1500 for the month for the 5% in PC dollars if I get any more orders!!! So thank you! If it wasn't for reading about the great results you all have been getting, I wouldn't have thought to send out an email--and the deals came after my monthly newsletter.

That is pretty much what I put at the beginning. I put something like I just had to share these great deals that came out after I sent my newsletter this month.

Hi - How are you able to tell when customers read the emails and what exactly is Constant Contact? I haven't seen that on the website...can someone explain?

 

[pampchefrhondab]

Woohoo!! I just got a $57 order! I hope they keep coming!

Constant Contact is a separate company that offers email newsletter services with which you can see who opened your email. They have a free trial (limited number of addresses), and after the trial it's about $15 a month, depending on the number of addresses in your list and the extra features you select.

 

[pamperedgirl3]

For those of you who get online orders & the customer gives their name so you can see it, do you send them a thank you or anything?

Oh, Great - Thank you so much...I'm guessing from all the great things I'm hearing about it - it must be worth the money!

Thank you so much!

I just sent a brief email out reminding everyone that Dec 15th was the last day for Christmas delivery without having to pay extra shipping. We will see if it generates anymore online purchases.

If they provide an email address, I will send an email thanking them for their order and giving them my contact infor again in case they ever need anything else or have a problem with their order.
