How are you talking about the 2 at your August Shows. Are you just demoing the US&G and saying it will be discontinued after this month? Or are you forgetting about it and only talking about the Ultimate Mandoline?

Thanks,
Katie
 
I would be honest but I would let people know that the new one has almost a 15 dollar price increase. And sell it to the best of your ability! Then when Sept.1st arrives I would promote it like crazy as a booking tool for 1/2 price and how it's only $7.50 more when you host a show. Then when you do shows in the future and people complain about the price increase, I would tell them all the great new benefits and that it's bigger and more safe than the old US&G and all the new benefits! Good luck!

Hi Katie,I'm not sure which specific August shows you are referring to, but I can provide some general information about the 2 and the Ultimate Mandoline.The 2 is a product from a company called US&G. I am not affiliated with them in any way, so I cannot speak to their plans for discontinuing the product. However, I can say that the Ultimate Mandoline is a newer product that has been gaining popularity in the market. It offers a wider range of features and capabilities compared to the 2, so it's possible that the company may be focusing more on promoting and selling the Ultimate Mandoline.That being said, I believe both products have their own strengths and can be useful for different purposes. It's always best to do your own research and read reviews to determine which one would be the best fit for your needs.I hope this helps clarify things for you. Let me know if you have any other questions. Take care!

Can I still purchase US&G if it is discontinued?
