No mid-season products this season.
 
no blindYou're not blind, they actually aren't doing a mid season release this time.

They will have a new catalog availlable Dec 1st with a new cover and 3 new recipes but no new mid season products.
 
LOVE that! Explaining to customers that the product they wanted NOW wasn't available yet was a PITA.
 
agreed Anne.

I think I yelled almost the loudest for that announcement! Almost every show, there was someone (usually an outside order) who ordered something not available. "Not Available" stickers didn't work - they still thought they could order it....and just have it shipped when it became available. And hosts would just look at the total, and think that they had an order that put them up to the next level.......grrrr! Very frustrating!

Okay - done with my little vent! Now on to the NEW PRODUCT EXCITEMENT!

Thanks for the info. I am excited about that because it is one less thing I have to remind guests about at a show.
 
Yipee!!!

I screamed VERY loud for that announcement too!
 
I think we all did!
 
I had THREE hosts want that salad spinner in March! I even mentioned that there were products not available until May so if someone wanted to have a show then...I'm still working on them to host a show now to get it for 60% off.
 
Love it!!!!
