Why Aren't My Pink Sales Doing Well This Year?

[ChefBeckyD]

I haven't sold a one either.

I like the idea of creating a pink something more usable than what's offered. Pink twixits... those would sell. Pink scrapers... pink bar board...

I think many folks are holding onto their money and not willing to part with it for kitsch and as much as the pink items we have seem functional, they're not really practical... not when money's so tight with folks.

I think that sums it up perfectly!

By Jove, I think you've got it!I think you hit the nail on the head with that one. I love gadgets for my kitchen but of these 4, only the scrubby is on my own personal list this year. I too would not spend money I really do not have on somehting that I may never use. I would rather buy a Kitchen Shears.

I wonder if sales are down this year, because I don't remember getting a "one week left" email in the past, encouraging sales of the pink products.

I wish the pink bowl trio were available to guests. I've had several people ask me for it and one woman tonight was ready to buy a whole bunch for teacher gifts. So this is two years running most people want the host special item more than the guest items....

I was just going to say the same thing about the tri bowl. My hostess wants 12 of them. Her aunt is a breast cancer survivor and my hostess and her mom want to purchase one for each of the girls in her family.

Remember the pink cups and squares...I had more people want to just order those too rather than hosting. We know HO picks what they think will be the pieces that would be the most popular to get bookings not to get sales. Which, personally I think hurts us as consultants. Why not charge the full price to guests for ALL the HWC products and then put selected items in as the host products at 60% off. That way everyone wins. Sure I would love to get more bookings but, if I can't get those bookings, I sure would love to be able to sell EVERY pink product to anyone who wants them. I would rather we sell out rather than be able to offer them again in October because HO over estimated the number of May Parties we would get. Like last year! Then no one wanted them because they were not hyped because we were not hyped. Especially since it was just offered on-line. A lot of my customers are not computer sauvy so they want to be able to say to me, I want that instead of going on-line to get them. I bet HO still has a ton of old pink stuff that didn't sell in October either.

Honestly, I've only sold 2 things this year. It's a MAJOR difference than past years. Now granted, my show schedule is very down due to my daughter being in cheerleading, co-ed baseball and girls's softball, graduation for my niece, husband having knee surgery......can't breathe.....anyway - needless to say that I haven't had as many shows as past Mays, but even my emails have gone unanswered this year which is soooo not normal.

But not enough to do a show to get it......
