So, they are down to just TWO Pink items for this year's October HWC?

wow. At least the grocery bags are nice! But not something I'll be pushing at shows. They make good host gifts though. :D
 
Not impressed with the brush either. The logo washes off and the handle comes off :thumbdown:
 
If you can't offer more variety, why bother?

That's what I thought!
Although I think people are "pinked" out.
 
This October's offerings are PATHETIC! I'll just be offering regular fund raiser shows.
 
I'm not surprised they pulled the gloves. They were probably the original stock from a few years ago. They quickly got holes in them back then. Sitting in a warehouse probably made the holes appear even more quickly. I keep forgetting that we have these things for Oct. I'm not putting them in my host packets. I really wish PC would switch over to HWC in Oct. or do something completely different. I agree that people are "pinked out."
 
They really need to think outside the Pink Box on this!! The bags are awful (had them, they ripped!) and the gloves were even worse (the cute white/dotted part ripped right off!!). The scrub brush is probably my favorite of all 3, but I did have mine fall apart (handle came off), hubby Gorilla Glued it back together for me! ;-) No one wants junk like that - it's the kind of stuff that ends up with Clearance tags on it with dust covering it in the check-out aisle at Bed, Bath, and Beyond!!
 
I am with all of the above. They need to come up with something new for the month of October. Give something for customers and consultants to look forward to.
 
Have and loved all spring pink products, perhaps it would be more effective to have the products repeated for Oct. From a marketing point as a consultant use the approach if you missed in spring here's your chance before they are gone. When a product works why develop/buy different ones for fall, maybe add a new one for those who have the spring offering but maintain a certain quality. I do not have any of the October pink product and what I'm reading here will definately have me thinking twice. Concerns me because I have a group who support this particular promo as Breast Cancer is their charity of choice.
 
I agree.. I loved the may products.. Why not just bring those back? A lot of people really loved the pink classic scraper that you could only get for spending $60. It would be great to offer it as a item to purchase now.
 
The pink and black glove and pot holders are terrible!! I used the glove thinking it would work and I burned my hand! So thin and cheap. I'm throwing them out. I don't want to push a terrible product on a customer.

Agreed. It was too thin.
 
I have someone that wants to order a pink product on a show. can they order on a show?
 
yes they can
 
Is there a flyer somewhere on the website w/these so I can make copies for a show?
 
I hope the scrub thing isn't too bad. I had someone buy 2 today! :-/I wish they had repeated the products from May; that would have been nice!
