My guess is that they want us to be showing the new version of the garlic press.

One thing I thought when they redesigned the garlic press was "Oh darn, now I can't teach people about the 'Little Lion'." I always get laughs with that, and it really helps people to remember how to store it.

If you don't know what I mean by the Little Lion, it's what I tell people the garlic press should look like with the cleaning tool snapped on top. The little holes are the whiskers, the smooth straight scraper piece going down the center is like the nose, etc.
 
Anytime they restyle something from the kit HO tries to make sure everyone has the restyled product.
 
I've gotten my "old one" sold already. A friend of my bf's, every time he comes over he goes to my TTA and plays with the press. He was a garlic powder kinda guy, then discovered garlic in a jar, I told him if he thought the garlic in a jar was good he should try pressed garlic! I've tried to get him to place an order, and get him to do a catalog show, but he thinks he's too manly to do it! I told him I'd sell him my old one once my new one comes. He's happy with that, and now I'll have a little extra to buy that pineapple wedger!
 
so what do we do with our old garlic presses? does that just mean i have one for my kit and one for my home? is it tacky to make a prize out of used tool?
 
Thanks!! I was just wondering how much tax money I needed to set aside for new products, now I know!

if it looks as bad as mine....yes.
 
i've only been doing this for 8 mos, so i'm not too worried about the apperence of it, BUT i did that with my old pizza cutter only because the host was a friend and she wanted it. i think i'll keep one for kitchen and one for kit. i have plenty of other used/restyled tools i've thought of giving as prizes. i just wasn't sure how tacky that might be.
 
You could offer a choice of a "demo" product or a new season's best. That way if they didn't want the used item they'd have a choice.

Personally, I have duplicates in my kitchen and I have adult children who get any additional duplicates or restyled items I get.
 
I have a couple of recruits signing soon. One at the end of Jan. and the other at the beginning of Feb. both have shows booked for Feb. and March. When will the new kit be replace with the restyled garlic press and S/S supplies?

Here is a screen shot I took of PP with the Spring sample prices. I meant to post it last night but my computer was acting up.

Hi Everyone!
I just couldn't stand it...I'm not patient either! I took this "shot" of the sample prices and figured everything out. I've attached the spreadsheet. Now, I don't want to get into trouble here...this is just a guess, but I'm thinkin it's pretty close. WAHOO for 2009!

Wow -- if that's right I love it! The packages are organized just right for what I am wanting. Wahoo!
 
I am hoping its right also! Thanks!
 
Why is it taking so long this season for HO to even post the packages on CC?

Last season's is still up and it says:
Products ordered through this sample order form will BEGIN shipping on July 25.
So I guess that would mean that we were able to order slightly before July 25th last season??
 
I think the earlier post with the attachment showed these are available on 1/30/09.
 
The document with the sample packages is the same that I figured it to be so I would bet it's correct!

I believe they are pushing back the date we can order for 2 reasons:

1. They want us to be concentrating on THIS season - we need February business too. We can't sell those items until March.

2. They don't start shipping the samples packages until the SAT and director packages are delivered. The Director packages are slated to be delivered by January 29 so the 30th makes sense - that way we won't be whining about our orders not being shipped quickly. I believe we had our director packages by July 24th last season.

Actually, that makes sense. I just get impatient as to seeing what the pkgs will be (since it takes me a while to make a final decision).

I was just basing my impatience(expectations) on last years dates. :)
 
I cant wait either! i am so excited! last summer i sold alot of the summer products just by having them on my display table! and i cant wait to see them and find out the cost! i can jump up and down :cheerleader:
i am so excited!!!!
lmonninger
any idea whats the items or the cost?
of the whole ball of wax?:chef:
 
It looks like Package A is $160 B $25.50 C $32 D $49 E $37 hope this helps we just can't see what each package has in it for sure.
