Is there a list of price changes somewhere?

I know about Ann's master list, but I am looking for ONLY the items that are going up in price that could be emailed to a couple of people who have asked...

I thought there was going to be one on CC - but if there is, I can't find it!
 
There's a list on CC under downloads of all the items that have new prices in SS09. The old prices aren't listed on that flyer though.

ETA: I attached the doc.

Thanks Beth! That's the one I was looking for - I couldn't find it on CC!:confused:
 
I can't believe how many things increased in price!!!
 
Me either, and most of these are big price increases.
 
Holy Moly! I knew that a few items would go up but this is like, WHOA!
Thanks for the list!
 
I've been asked to come up with a blast email about the price increases, so I am working on that today....
 
I don't think it's a good idea to point out the price changes. Most people will not notice and those that do notice some things won't notice them all. People understand.

MOST of the items only went up $0.50-$1. Some less, and yes, some more.

Relax.

Yeah, I only wanted it for a couple of hosts who were wondering what was going up in price, so they could decide what they wanted to order this month, and what they could get at shows booked from theirs after the season change.

I never make a big deal about price increases - most people don't notice them anyway.

We all have a couple of those customers. I'm always happy to tell them - more sales in the month before the new book! ...but I don't point it out to the others.
 
Are you sure with 155+ price changes you wouldn't be better off asking what they are interested in and telling them those changes? Personally if someone handed me a list from a DS company with 90% of their older products going up in price, I would be very upset and less likely to purchase and make some remarks to "friends" about how much things have gone up in PC...
 
Does anyone have the Spring 09 Price Change List in Word? Didn 't see one in the Files section.

Exactly. Some (a lot of) people already have the impression that our things are expensive. I would not point it out to people.
