i used to be a trader a few years ago and would like to give it another go but im not getting a response when ive applied for more information?

Best thing is to ring phoenix direct. Ask for local sponsor name and go from there. If they wont send you info, look for someone else to help you.

All the best

Hi Just heard there are no more !!! organiser boxes until mid dec.
I have 6 Christmas events in the next 2 weeks would you promote the box as a Christmas Gift or not??
Should I just go for pushing the recipe boxes?

I would say yes to promoting the organiser box as a christmas gift, as it says that they will be in stock was it the 5th or 6th december, this still gives you time to order it and deliver them out.

Hi, I've recently joined this group on Facebook - handy for getting the out of stock items to fulfil customer orders, and could potentially save you money if you can swap your stock rather than have to put in an order when you've nothing else you need at that time.

How is everyone getting on?

My Christmas cards are finally moving, I was getting a bit anxious that I would not be able to sell them :j

I am having the problem now of people ordering roll wrap etc (blue and silver stars) and then me having to offer them an alternate one (red and silver) only to find out that this and the gingerbread one is now out of stock:eek: . Um, doesn't look too professional.

Never mind, am more successful on the general cards front! Just saw email about phoenix passing on the vat reduction come monday too.:T

I agree about the roll wrap, I've just got 3 big orders and all have roll wrap and paper chains on and all sold out that they want. Wish I hadnt pushed the Christmas things really, I had 3 regular customers who wanted RW55 reindeer and they were a bit put out when so early it was out of stock-made me look bad!!!

Hiya,
I'm really interested in joining in- I agree that the products do look great. I was just wondering what people find is th best package to go for?
1) would you go for the largest pack with 45% discount but at a hefty £195 outlay, where you intend to sell this stock directly
OR
2) buy the cheapest introductory pack at £45 and just show people samples, and only ordering when customers buy.

I guess the advantage of #1 is that people can see the products properly themselves and take it away immediately, plus you can make pretty gift sets with cards, tags and wraps in a pack BUT it is an expensive outlay.

Also what are your thoughts on the Christmas packs? Do you think its too late for me now? I'm just wondering that as prices are going up in January they might be a good investment for next Christmas...

Third question- how quickly do you re-coup the initial cost of outlay?
