I sent one out day before yesterday.
The thing is, i am so bent out of shape about PC discontinuing the cotton oven mitt and pad, that I basically had this e-mail centering around "Get your oven mitts before they are gone!" Because I know everyone that has then says they are the best oven mitts they own.
WELL..... As of Last night I already have orders for 7 oven mitts and 3 oven pads (4 people ordered)! I am keeping it open till Feb 27. I wonder how many more orders I will get!!
I never even mentioned the other discontinued items... I guess I should have!

I sent out an e-mail last Friday saying it's a last call for discontinued products and those being increased in prices and got so far over $214 in orders and am giving the one who got me the most orders host benefits! My e-mail listed all the discontinued products and the increase in price products. I just did a cut and paste and it opened up a can of worms to some customers that I haven't heard from in awhile!

Here's what I wrote:nikked said:
"Hello everyone! THIS WEEKEND ONLY, get these items from Pampered Chef on the attached document! These items are being discontinued effective March 1!
I am placing an order next week to end out this month. Get these items before they gone forever!
It's as easy as e-maiingl me and letting me know your order! Don't forget Pampered Chef accepts credit cards (M/C, Visa, Discover, AmEX) and also your personal check or cash!
Don't miss out on these great deals on your favorite Pampered Chef products!"
I have gotten over $100 in product orders today alone! I can't wait to see what I'll have by the end of this weekend! I have a host doing a book show this month, and we're closing/submitting her show Monday nite. I'm giving her the host rewards for the sales I'm picking up from this e-mail. I haven't had any other shows this month, so I'm very excited with the response I have gotten so far!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a last chance e-mail in direct sales?
A last chance e-mail is a communication sent to customers to inform them about products that are being discontinued or are in limited supply. It creates a sense of urgency, encouraging customers to make a purchase before the items are no longer available.
What kind of products should I highlight in my last chance e-mail?
In your last chance e-mail, focus on popular or best-selling items, seasonal products, or any items that have received positive feedback from customers. Highlighting products that are frequently purchased can increase the likelihood of generating orders.
How can I create urgency in my last chance e-mail?
You can create urgency by emphasizing limited availability, including phrases like "while supplies last" or "only a few left." Additionally, you can set a deadline for orders or mention that these items will not be available after a certain date.
What strategies can I use to encourage orders from my last chance e-mail?
To encourage orders, consider offering a small incentive, such as a discount on future purchases or a free gift with a certain order amount. Personalizing the e-mail by addressing customers by name and suggesting products based on their previous purchases can also be effective.
How did my last chance e-mail result in a $40 order?
Your last chance e-mail likely resonated with a customer who was interested in the highlighted products. The urgency created by the e-mail, combined with effective product recommendations and possibly an incentive, motivated them to place an order, resulting in the $40 sale.
