Thanks I'll get my order ready for tomorrow.
 
Just an FYI- the paperwork order form on CC is still the Spring one. If you use those product numbers, you'll get spring paperwork. New numbers are not in the special edition CN - I didn't check P3 before I left the house.
 
Is it ok to start talking about the new products or do we have to wait until they are available? I am afraid if I talk about them noone will book for August.
 
That's a valid concern, Kristin. I wouldn't talk a lot about them until you have your August as full as you want it.
 
Fall/Winter 2007 Supply OrderI just found the new Fall/Winter supply order form on the pampered chef website tonight. It says "Available to Purchase 07/24/2007".

I have been telling everyone that the August host and guest specials rock so much that they will be sure to get a booking for a September show. If they dont, then we could hold $150 of their show sales, and submit it for a Sept. show and let them take advantage of 3 host specials. One for their August show. Booking from their own show (as the past host) and for their September show!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

When can we start promoting new Pampered Chef products?

You can begin promoting new Pampered Chef products as soon as they are officially announced by the company. Typically, this information is shared during product launches, which may occur at annual conferences or through official communications from Pampered Chef.

Are there specific dates for promoting seasonal specials?

Yes, Pampered Chef often has specific dates for seasonal specials. These promotions are usually announced in advance, and you should check the company’s official website or your consultant resources for the exact dates and details.

Can we promote new products before they are available for sale?

No, you should not promote new products before they are officially available for sale. Doing so can lead to confusion among customers and may violate company policies. Always wait for the official launch date before promoting.

How can I find out about upcoming promotions and new product launches?

You can stay informed about upcoming promotions and new product launches by regularly checking the Pampered Chef consultant portal, subscribing to company newsletters, and participating in team meetings or training sessions.

Is there a limit to how many times we can promote new products and specials?

While there is no strict limit on how many times you can promote new products and specials, it is important to maintain a balanced approach. Over-promoting can lead to customer fatigue, so focus on quality and engagement rather than quantity.
