I wish I was selling more trivets - I think they are very pretty

BRING yours to shows!!!
I was selling a few here & there...then I started bringing it to shows and am selling at least 1-2 per show!

 

[dannyzmom]

From what I heard from my exec dir is that they are going to raise the BOC amounts becuase they doubled the donations on the heart Trivet, but she said it will most likely be in the April CN. So we will see what happens.

I have $97 in donations!

Nope - it's on CC right now in the HWC section. It says $150 for ROFTH or HWC...and you get to go...and if you hit in both (I think that's how I read it) you get a lanyard to wear at NC as well.

I do bring my to the shows and craft fairs - I am thinking of getting a few for cash and carry for my next craft fair in March

 

[raebates]

The trivet isn't a big seller for me. (Yes, I take it with me to shows and talk it up.) However, I'll be in the special seating--almost all of my guests round up!

 

[chefann]

I give the trivet as Christmas gifts for anyone who I need a small gift for.Sneaky, but people love it!

 

[DebbieJ]

The trivet is a great last minute gift for teachers, hostesses (when you're invited to a party at someone's house), thank you gifts, get well gifts, etc. I tell everyone at my shows that they should buy one and keep it on hand for those last minute things.

It's just a great gift all around.

 

[ange13]

quick question--when they say "sale of trivets" do they just count the $2 they donate towards the $150 or the entire dollar amount of trivet ($12)???

 

[DebbieJ]

Just the $2 donation.

 

[ange13]

thanks! darn..... I would've made it already if the whole amount--but I assumed that wasn't the case!

Well, need to sell(round up) $90 more----hmmmm who can I get

 

[PampMomof3]

You can do it!! We have until May!!!

 

[Jules711]

Do most people shoot for RUFTH vs HWC when going for $150 in one? I suppose that it's a lot easier since it's year round. I had a HWC fundraiser last year so it helped to get me to the BOC but then I didn't end up going to conference. I was bummed. I admit, I like the recognition we get for different things (gives me the little goals to hit).

 

[raebates]

I generally go for the RUFTH. It's year round and local. I get really intentional about the HWC month, too, though. My goal this year is to earn it in both.

 

[Jules711]

I was happy to see the pink products for this May. Last year, it was hard. I loved the can strainer from the year before and wish they would do twix-it clips again. They are easy to find in the drawer! Everyone wanted the cups, but not everyone wanted to do a show. I think I could have sold more of them! The bowls are cute this year too but I like that there is a choice. Not everyone wants pink, but they usually were able to think of someone to give them to.

 

[DebbieJ]

RUTH is much easier to earn. Like it's been said, it's year round and it's so easy!!!

HWC is kinda dependent on the products they give us to sell. Last year bombed. This year I'm more excited. I like that the hosts have a choice as well.

They are gonna have the cups & plates for sale again this year, but they will be selling them differently. 20.00 for 2 cups & 20.00 for 2 plates separate. Also I think they are gonna be on the web sites only, not sure about that....

I also love that option Ginger! I can't wait til May to sell those pink products!

 

[speedychef]

WOW! I just looked at my donations report on PP and it's $78.21! AND I've sold 15 trivets, so I'm over $100 already! I would LOVE to raise $150 for HWC, and it shouldn't be hard with the raised donation amounts!

 

[dannyzmom]

I got a lot of round-ups today...but after showing the trivet and all of them ooooh'ing and aahhh'ing over it anfd saying how badly they all wanted one - when it came time to check out - none of them bought one...losers

[LOVEpamperedchef]

Did you all see in the Consultant News that there will not be a Breakfast of Caring this year at Conference??? I am a new consultant and was really looking forward to that.
"Consultants who submit a total of $150 or more in contributions to the Help Whip Cancer® campaign, our Round-Up from the Heart® campaign, and /or who are food bank coordinators will receive a special lanyard signifying their contributions. Wear it proudly at Conference!"
