Have you all received the news about the changes with the Corian colors changes? 

It looks like I will have to completely change my pricing program to accommodate the change.  I haven't seen the new setup but understand most colors will be moved around.  Some colors will decrease and some will increase based on poplularity and market trends.

Yes, it looks like about 25 colors stayed in their original price groups and everything else changed.

Seems to me that they took the reduced select series and added some, subtracted others. Then they priced the colors that have knock offs, regardless of particle size, next they priced the colors that did not have knock offs, regardless of particulate size, then the specialty stuff. Does this look about right?

Did they lower the price of the knock offs and raise the others?  Are the color groups all the same particulate size or are they mixed together?

Different particulates are merged somewhat, or so it looks. They seemed to lower the knock-offs and raise the uniques.

In my area, they also changed who gets which multiplier, based on sales. Don't ask.

I just received the new list from our distributor.  I am going to have to have a list if front of me at all times.  I used to know in  what catagory all of the colors fit, but that is out the window.
Group E and the Private Collection has a price increase.  Andy is going to have a lot of work redoing our computer pricing program.

All the pricing groups have changed so now I have to go into Moraware and change it all...all 130 colors.  This should be fun.

Linda,
We have a wall rack and separated it acording to pricing, so we can tell the customers the price ranges at a glance.

Tom,

Is your wall rack one from DuPont?  Ours is a big wall unit but it has
the names of the colors on the board so we can't move them around.

Linda,
Our wall rack came in blank. We made the labels ourselves. Can you get white background labels to over paste the ones there?

Yes, it looks like we can peel the labels off and re organize the board.  What a pain.
