Spring Garden Dreams: Time to Plant Fresh Corn!

[Jessamary]

I got mine and the first thing I did was try to scrape pineapple off the peel after using the pineapple wedger. (I hate that it wastes so much good fruit). It works GREAT!! I got a whole prep bowl full of crushed pineapple just from one piece of the pineapple peel! I can't wait to show those two items and cross sell them!

Holy cow, Beth! I bought a pineapple today and used my cutter, then the kernal cutter like you suggested...I LOVE it! What a great idea!

Can you imagine for like banana splits, smoothies, marinades, etc?

I thought I loved the idea of fresh pineapple slices, but I love the idea of freshed "crushed" pineapple even more!

Why are you demoing Spring products already? You can't sell them until March 1. My customers would be upset if I featured things they couldn't get yet. Give them a teaser - "wait till you see how awesome the new products are" and show/give new product brochures at checkout to generate bookings.

I do what Chris does sometimes as well - its a great booking tool - you explain they can't get them now but they should have a show in March april etc - expecially when they see how many others are interested - the Host appreciates it too since she can then get 10 percent off on top and her booking benefit - its the end of Feb and to fill those dates in March its a great asset!!!

I have to disagree. I used to do just that and I found that the majority, while they want to see what's new, don't want to be enticed with something they can't have and they tune out after that (in my experience). The new product brochure gets them excited at checkout. I have had several book at checkout because I showed the pics. I don't need to carry any extra products. ...now if I did a fair in February or August I would definitely take the new things - but not to shows.
