2017 Order & Delivery Schedules

calendar shutterstock_228543910
Dear Alison’s Pantry Reps,
     Thank you so much for your hard work in 2016.  As this year draws to a close I’d like to make sure you receive and understand the schedule for 2017.
     Next year’s schedule will be very similar to this year with a couple of changes.  One change of note is that we will no longer be placing reps in red or blue groups.
     Instead, we’re assigning all reps to an order group (1,2,3 or 4).  By doing this we’re able to deliver to all reps one week after their order day!  So, just to be clear in 2017 there will no longer be a red or blue order group.
     As a company we feel like the faster delivery may not have increased sales like we thought it would, but the positive feedback has been amazing. So, we’re stepping it up next year to make sure all reps receive their orders the very next week after they order.
On your schedule, we’ve included four important dates you need to know for each month of ordering.
  • Update Addresses– By this date, make sure all mailing addresses are up to date and you have turned in any requests for extra catalogs or mailings.
  • Portals Opens– Date when you are able to start keying in orders for your customers in portals.
  • Order Day– 5:00 pm deadline for entering in orders for that month.
  • Delivery– This is the week you can expect delivery each month.  It’s always the week after ordering!
Please take note of the following deadlines for Catalogs #1 and #2:

October 24, 2016 – Have all customers updated for your #1 Catalogs

November 28, 2016 – Have all customers updated for your #2 Catalogs

Find your 2017 schedule below!

You will be receiving a magnet of your schedule with your #12 order.
These schedules are for reps only. We will be posting Customer Schedules soon!
Please make sure you are looking at the correct group before you download your schedule!
If you do not know what run you are on, check your last truck invoice!
