Top 5 Items of 2007: What will be Big in 2008?

[its_me_susan]

I try not to talk about the color coated santoku because I figured they would sell themselves. But, at one show a lady noticed I kept washing it and reusing it so she ordered it because it must be my fave, she was right. I love that knife so much more than all the others, and I have all the others
Thanks for starting this thread rennea. cool

So at shows just use the utility knife over and over and you will upsale yourself

 

[its_me_susan]

I think we sell what we like susan. I don't like the mix n chop, and that's why I don't sell many. I need to start really ranting about higher items. I do talk alot about our stoneware and do sell a ton of med. bar pans and mini bakers.

I meant you said never mention those trays? thought there might be a joke that you said that got them all sold?

[JAE]

I'm very surprised with my top 5.
Mini Serving Spat (total of old and new design) 47
SBRC 35 (it would be number 1 if spring summer counted)
Mix N Chop 29
Citrus Peeler (seriously) 26
Food Chopper 18

I talk about the SBRC because I give it away to the host, and I sometimes use the chopper. I give the citrus peeler away as a door prize or to people who bring friends. I don't talk about the mini serving spatula or the Mix N Chop

 

[PChefPEI]

Great lists everyone! Wish mine had some higher priced items, but I guess that's something to work on for 2008! Although, I am happily surprised that the large bar pan is #3! I didn't realize I had sold that many!!

1. Crinkle cutter
2. Mini-serving spatula
3. Large bar pan
4. Measure-all cup
5. Jar opener

most of the coating trays sales were catalog sales---it in all fairness is a 1/2 page and very clever with CHOCOLATE in it----
