Transporting Your Consultant Kit: Comfort vs. Convenience

[melaniepc]

do you use the tote bag that came with the new consultant kit? I know its says its made for easy transporting of all your materials but it just doesnt seem comfy to me. I havent done a show outside of my house yet though so maybe its not that bad

Well honestly it is bulky to carry around, but its better then using the crates (in my opinion) and you will get used to it. My only advice is... DO NOT OVERPACK IT! This is how I broke my classic batter bowl :cry: thankfully h/o replaced it at no charge but breaking one of my most-used items right before a show definitely wasn't good!

LOVE IT!!! I have been using it ever since I earned it 1.5 yrs ago.

I just recently started using it because I had the rolling bag/thing, but I have to admit that I actually like it. It's made me STOP taking so much to my shows!!! It's a little bulky (so watch the nick-naks on people's tables as you go by) but otherwise, I do like it.

Can you buy the bag on the supply order form? I still use my old crate and really like it but it's hard to pack right sometimes.

Yes. It's $30 or $35.

I also prefer the New Consultant Tote over the rolling tote. The rolling tote is MUCH heavier to carry (even before it's packed!) and is more cumbersome, IMO. I like the tote - it forces me to only bring what I need for the demo, and a few new items, and that's it. I use the New Consultant Tote and the Carryall Tote for my products (NCT for kit and/or recipe products, CT for new products) and a tote for my business supplies, and that's it. I can make it into the host's house in 1 - 2 trips (depending if anyone helps me or not). It used to take me 3-4.

I use the rolling tote. I earned it back in like 2005.
I have the tote...and it sits in a cabinet - unused.

In GA alot of homes have steps to get to the front door. If they have more than 2 steps I do not take my rolling tote.

I Love the Tote Bag. You do have to be careful not to overload it though as it can get really heavy.

the tote does get heavy, but it's flexible - holds a lot, you can schlep it up stairs, and it can fit in my tiny hatchback trunk
