Dealing with HO Paperwork Changes? Discover Our New Booklets for Sept 1st!

[wadesgirl]

Just venting! I hate how often HO changes some of our paperwork!! I just ordered what I thought was new Come Join Us booklets and Discover Us booklets only to find out tonight that they are the current ones, not the new ones that I could use Sept 1st!! So now I have to order all new ones after I just paid for these. If it wasn't something as big as the kit price changing I wouldn't have such a big issue!

Why not print the correct price on small labels and cover up the old price?

Hadn't even thought about that. Might work for now.

it's a band-aid, but worth using until your next supply order...

Even when the kit changed completely, I used the old paperwork and just put a sticker on top that said "New Kit! Contact me for details"I'm cheap.

Hey! Soooo not fair!!! I ordered the same ones last week for an event this week & they sent me the new ones! I wanted the ones with the current kit price! Too late to swap you now, my event is on Tue morn and I've already stuck my labels on them. I figured I'd just advertise that it's only $155 now, but the price is going up on the 1st.

Totally would have traded

Yeah, I'm cheap too. Still changing the shipping rate on receipts that say $4.25. (Online orders and phone orders don't get a recepit unless they request one.) At least now I won't have to change the 5 on the end, which is a bear. One more reason to wait t put an order in.

I thought I'd be nice & throw in a Season's Best in the recruiting packets. Ordered the current ones because they were such a good deal, then got them & realized that they are Spring/Summer 2010 ~ completely missed 2010 on the order form & thought I was ordering 2011. It was a rough order for me. So many "dang it" moments. I also forgot to order the product bags & didn't have time to do a re-order for them.

I did get the new ones but still have the old versions. I plan to hand them out anyway and I am not changing the price of the kit on them. If someone says something about the difference. I will just either say: "the price just went up but the good thing is it's just $4" or I'll say: "well, you got a lucky flyer! You got yours on sale!" and I'll pay the $4. ...it's $4.With such a small difference I just don't see the value in going through the effort of stamping/stickering/changing the flyer. When the whole kit changed I did put a sticker on it saying "new improved kit". Even then, those that are interested will be fine with the change and the rest of the people aren't interested enough to notice.

I LOVE the 2010 Season's Best!!! I still give it out at my shows. It has so many great recipes in it.

Good thinking Beth!!

I had just ordered a whole bunch of the Discover Us! right before conference not even thinking they would change the price of the kit. I am going to just put a small label over the $155 price and tell people. Not worth wasting all I have.
