I have to say - it really irks me that there are no surprises... I have emailed CND about this.. we like to wait and tease before showing right through to the end of the year (however there are another 8 not showing)...

I am surprised by CND "letting the cat out of the bag"! I don't feel it's right... I would prefer to have the knowledge that four collections + limited's are being brought out this year as I like the guessing game. By showing us all, it feels that CND aren't listening to us, As they have these in production already. Of course I will be purchasing but am disappointed that "we know"
I like to know about upcoming stuff as it means I can plan/forecast upcoming costs and make decisions about the best way to spend the money I have in my business. I budget every penny and assign it to cateogries towards training/products/marketing/etc. With cnd I'm learning it's best to keep a float of cash ready for the next 'new' thing but you can make your money work harder if you know what that is, when it is coming and approx how much it will cost in advance.
I get plenty of excitement and joy from using cnd products and don't need to be drip feed surprises throughout the year. Personally I do enjoy itand love the excitment of new colours and product releases that but with my business cap on I can't see the benefit of keeping myself in the dark until the the launch is imminent.
Maybe salongeek could introduce a spoiler tag like they have in tv forums so that things like this could be hidden until s2/cnd officially announce them, then geeks have a choice.

When will the new colours be available to order form sweet squared please? X
CND didn't do anything.... it was a European distributor that let the 'cat out of the bag' - CND never do stuff like that crickey keeping what we are about to launch at THE Event up our sleeve has been hard enough... this is from an over eager distributor... and yeh it ****** me off!!!!!
As to production, when you are selling to 80 countries, you need to know what you are doing a YEAR before. I already know what is for Xmas 2013 and I knew in Dec 2012... you can't decide a few weeks before and then tell your global partners as this gives us no time to plan.
There are so many ramifications that go into being a manufacturer... no wonder Jim Nordstrom wanted to be with us in distribution as opposed to manufacturing :wink2:- its a BIG responsibility and it requires long lead times and a lot of planning to get it right.
Thank you i thought it was tues but seen they were available to order on mon from one of the centres. Didn't want to miss out thinking it was tues if it was going to be mon x
