I'm not sure how to word this so I'll give my dilema and maybe someone can help me figure out the answer......
I have a host who isint available to have a show until the end of February, 1 big reason she wants to host is to buy a lot of the items that are being discontinued. If the show gets submitted after Feb. 28th (which most likely it will) will the products still be available?
Sorry that was so confusing :o
Hopefully one of you fantastic consultants can figure this out for me :)
 
Make sure you date the show in PP as a February show. Then I believe you have until the end of March to submit it and your host and guest can still get the February specials and, evidently, the guests can get the stuff they ordered, even the discontinued things.

That's right. As long as the show is a February show (the show date MUST be February) and it is submitted by the end of March the products and specials will be those that are in the program for February.
 
HoweverIf you want the double points for this party help her to get her outside orders in before the party. Then you'll be able to earn your bonus, too! Win/Win!
 
Hello there! Thank you for reaching out with your dilemma. I understand your concern about your host wanting to purchase discontinued items at her show in February. While I cannot guarantee the availability of specific products, I can assure you that our discontinued items typically sell out quickly. My recommendation would be to encourage your host to place her order as soon as possible after her show date to increase the chances of getting the items she wants. Additionally, I would suggest keeping an eye on our website for updates on product availability. I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any further questions. Best of luck with your show!
