The best-laid plans...!
First things first...I am going to post the FYI post that I sent to the message boards
& the lists. Please read it before downloading either of the flyers that I have
prepared!

Subject: about my info...
Hi all!
In response to some questions in the hundreds of emails I've received in the last 24
hours...most of you know this but call it a refresher... I am NOT direct to the Home
Office so my information is definitely not privileged :)
I got it the same place you are getting it - from a fellow online person whom I felt was
very reliable. I haven't received my mailing yet either, but in the essence of timely
communication, created the flyer to get to my unit and anyone else who chooses to use it.
Since most of the items were also on the July white sale, I feel pretty safe in assuming
this is the correct list, but that is up to you! Having been in retail for 15 years
prior to the last 4, I do recognize the strategy used to "move" slow-moving
items when getting ready for a new catalog - it's in the company's best interest to try to
move these items at full price before having to make a decision to mark them down or
discount them. That's where we come in!
As a point of reference, I remember last year as a hostess when I saw the list for the
first time around December thinking, "oh wow - if I can wait till January I'll be able
to get these things really cheap"....again - going by my retail
background...HOWEVER... it didn't happen! Many items not only didn't show up on sale, or
even in business boosters for consultants, they just disappeared after December & were
not available at full price OR discount!
So the advice that has already been offered by some seasoned consultants, RVPs, &
SRVPs is very good - call your hostesses, customers, friends, co-workers, etc - to suggest
that they may not be able to get their favorite items if they are on the list & they
wait...book a show & get them now!
The same rule goes for information posted here on the bulletin boards & lists that is
on the entrance page to Best of the Boards.. The best place to receive 100% accurate
information will always be the company-supplied literature & manuals.
Have a great weekend everybody!
And now...here are the files that I have available on the 1998 "Retired" items
(as we know them right now)
