August Newsletter
Welcome to My August Newsletter!
We still have a month left of summer, but our 2024 Fall Winter Catalog has launched and I am so excited with the new products.
In the catalog you will see that the totes we have left are half price. If you were interested in a tote, grab it while supplies last. We will not be offering totes in the future.

Website Visit Winners – Thank You for Supporting My Website
We had a 114 visits to my website (tsbygailj.com) in July.
I draw one free sample for every 20 visits to my website during the month.
Although we had over 75 visits, I only know of 19 people who visited, a few had multiple visits so they are entered multiple times. The purpose of this is to draw folks to my website, so I drew 5 winners from those I know visited.
The winners are:
- Carolyn Lewis
- Cindy Baringer
- Karen Lindell
- Elaine Decolli
- Gloria Parkinson
I know you visited 2 ways: If you click on the emails I send via Constant contact or complete a form from the website.
My website host tells me how many folks visited.
So, if you are checking out my website from a text message or just coming back to see what may be new, fill out the form so I know you were here!
New 2024 Fall Winter Catalog
It is here! The Tastefully Simple Fall Winter Catalog.
I can testify that the new products are AMAZING! Our Conference was Aug 1 – 3 and we got to sample many of the offerings.
Another twist to this seasons catalog is that the totes we have are in the back of the catalog and are half price. Great idea for a gift with a few food products tucked in.
Here is a link to the catalog on my website.
Below is the link to a special page I created so you can easily see the new items.

Our Experience Theme, whether online or an in person sampling is Cookout.
We are offering a host special (in addition to the normal host rewards) products that are in the Fab Five, our most popular products, with the top level being the entire Fab Five Collection

Rewards for Hosting a Party
Regardless of the Host Special, you will get these rewards when you host an experience.
Any experience qualifies except for fundraisers. In that case, I will give you the cash equivalent to the rewards.
Notice at $500, you get FREE shipping on your host rewards, host special AND half priced items.
You earn half price items (any item counts, even collections) when someone books an experience off of your experience.
August Host Special
Host an experience in August. Why? Here are some great reasons:
- Folks are back from vacation because school is starting soon
- New catalog is available.
- You can earn the FAB 5 Collection – some of our most favored products.
September Host Special
This special is unheard of in September!
We typically have this in July and January, our two slowest months.
