I finally got around to looking up who has bought the Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls so I could see if they wanted to book an August show. One of the names listed does not show up in my contact list. I have no idea who she is and can't find her. Can a name be dropped? How could I find her? Thanks for any advice.....
 
When you do your search, the host name and show number should have come with it
 
If the Stainless Bowl set was a host bonus item, it might have a different # than what the current catalog number is. Check down your list toward the final pages for the items that were Host Bonus numbers. i.e. Vanilla, cutting boards, towels etc. For some reason, my mind tells me that the Bowls may have been an Hostess bonus item last fall. Not 100% sure, though.
 
Remember to check under both number - - - HG90 and 1735

Thanks Grandmarita for reminding us of the host special (August '05 and March '06)

The stainless steel mixing bowl host special was 3/6. Not sure what you meant by 8/05 but I wasn't selling then or even a cns then so maybe it was a special then too??

Also, I found an order that said online or something and have no idea who that was??? LOL I don't think there's a way to check that, however I was just recently qualified so I don't know how an online order could have taken place prior to my qualifications??

thanks

The S/S mixing bowls were a Host special twice (for those who were in business back then). Be sure to check all three numbers.

March 2006 #HG90
August 2005 #HF29
Current Product #1735
 
Don't forget to check under the half-price number too!

HP14 -Half-price
HG90 -March 06
HF29 -August 05
1735 -Reg number

Also, unless you add other information besides a name (phone numbers, address) PP will not make a contact. You can manually add a new contact with no other information though.

Thanks for all the answers. I was trying to find when this lady bought the items and found it on the report as someone says. It's a guest from a catalog show that I have no information for so I'll have to contact the host and see how far I get. Thanks again....
 
Good luck Bee!
