question: at shows, how do you add the pink products to the current show so the host can get credit and have the items shipped to her? do you have to separate the two?? I love the new pink products too :)

They are like any other guest special, the flyer will have guest special numbers.

Which, of course, you can't do until May.
 
WE can get the HWC products in April usually, though, right?? I always get it confused when we can get Guest specials a month early...if it's not a "FREE" item with 'purchase', we can order it a month ahead, correct?
 
There will be information about ordering them. My guess is we'll be able to order them in March.
 
This is what the Policy Guide says:

Early Purchase of Guest Specials

In order to have a sample to demonstrate, you can purchase most Guest Specials (but not Host Specials) the month prior to the promotion (as well as the month of the promotion) on a personal order. See the monthly promotions flyer for specific details. Guest Specials are assigned a unique order number for the month of the promotion.

To order a Guest Special on a personal order:
• Fill out a sales receipt, checking the box for a personal order. Write in the Guest Special in the designated area. You must use the assigned Guest Special product number.
• You may purchase only one early Guest Special in the month prior to the promotion.
• If the Guest Special has specific purchase requirements, you must meet the requirements after the discount has been taken to take advantage of the special.
For example: Spend $60 and receive the Ice Cream Dipper free! If the Consultant wants a free Ice Cream Dipper, she or he must spend $60 (after the personal
discount) to receive the item free.

If the Consultant simply wants a sample of the Ice Cream Dipper, we recommend that she or he order it using the regular product number and purchase it at the regular personal discount.
 
I always wonder what item is going to be the "guest favorite", and I'm usually wrong!!!
For me, personally, I adore the new adjustable tower and will probably stop using the current 3-tiered stand b/c I have tall counters where I set entertaining stuff and the current stand makes the top tier too tall. I think I will also love the bamboo claws and the Dots glasses.
But, I am curious to see what is going to be the "hit" with our guests????!!!!!!

Last year they put the HWC products on the supply order form in April at a discount of $1 off each for us. I would expect they'll do that again this year.


...just looked it up and I ordered a cake tester and the recipe cards on April 1, 2009 on a supply order for $2.50 and $4 respectively...
 
I love the dot glasses, salad claws, cake stand...
 
I want the...........I have no idea what I was typing. Child interrupted me with a text. He's upstairs. Goodness.

I think my favorite new product might be the dots glasses or the cake platter or the apple sprinkles. I'm just not sure. I can't even remember what everything is. I just can't wait to get it.
 
I have to say I am most excited over the Adjustable Tower, the Cake Stand and the new Dessert Cookbook. If not for any other reason, I have a yearly Desert Tasting I do for a fundraiser in which people pay to come in and sample desserts from bakeries in the area. They pay $20 to get in and then they have silent auctions, raffles, etc. It costs me nothing more than making several different kinds of desserts to give out samples of to 200 people. I got my second recruit from their, although she is no longer active. And it is a total write off since it is a fundraiser. I also get several orders and bookings :) So with the new stuff it will make it nicer to set up my display :)
 
I can't really say what my favorit new item is yet....I get them on the 11th so after a few used of each item I will be able to better judge, I am excited about the grill tray though and connot wait to use that!! Could care less about the glasses, I do not care for the Dot's items at all. I can't wait to try the lemon pepper seasoning either and see the new recipes!
 
I'm so excited about the adjustable tower, I plan to use it on my counter with fruit and vegetables:)
And I can't wait to try the sauces, especially the Raspberry Habanero...OH! the dot glasses, too bad we can only order 1 set at half-price:cool:
