Canning with Mehu-Liisa

New How-to Videos page on website

Filed under: News of the Store, Winter — Daniel @ 2:35 pm

I have created a new page on the website. It features canning and preserving videos available from YouTube. These videos will change on a regular basis. This feature is offered as part of my Google Adsense account so I’m not sure of the quality of the videos posted as I don’t have control of that. I will keep checking in to see how things go.

I have placed my spring order with Finland and am starting to gear up for the coming season. I’m looking forward to increasing my juice making and using my new freezer as well. I’ll be sending a Spring Newsletter out soon. Look for a early season discount coupon. Go to our website and click on email sign-up if you are interested in getting email from Mehu-Liisa Products.

Take Care!

Winter check-in

Filed under: News of the Store, Winter — Daniel @ 2:06 pm

Hope everyone is holding up through the winter. I heard that there’s been some extra cold weather up in the north central part of the country. Curl up with your seed catalogs and dream of summer!

I just wanted to put up a note about changes to the website. I have added Google ads to the pages. These ads link to other pages selling related goods that folks might be interested in. Let me know what you think of this feature.

Also, I have added a satellite store that sells books and equipment for canning and preserving. This site is available by clicking the navigation button on the left of the homepage labeled Canning and Preserving Store. I set this up with Amazon.com. By clicking on an item that looks interesting to you, you will get the current info and same prices as you would at the amazon site. I receive a small commission for having the items for sale on my site (about 4%). Mostly for customers interests and convenience. Again, let me know what you think.

I have also included an email list sign-up button in the navigation bar for folks who want to get periodic updates and specials communications via email from Mehu-Liisa Products.

Next project is to get a forum going for folks who want to trade recipes and tips on using the Mehu-Liisa. Should have it up and running by spring.

Please let me know if there is anything you would like to see on the site; more products, different layout, more information, etc.

Take care,

Daniel Heila

Update on Mehu-Liisa Products

Filed under: News of the Store — Daniel @ 10:22 am

Well, its been quite a season. Mehu-Liisa products has been buffeted about on the unpredictable seas of small business a fair amount. As if the weak US dollar and rising stainless steel costs weren’t enough, I had to shut down my YahooStore and move my inventory to a new warehouse right in the middle of my busiest season.

Yikes! That hurt.

I worked diligently for three weeks to locate and transfer my inventory to a new reliable warehouse up in Michigan. Now, ordering is back up and units will start going out again beginning of next week. Phew! What a mess that was.

Also, as a few of you may have found out, there was a quality control issue at the factory in Finland this summer when they produced my fall inventory. It turns out that some juicers were showing up at customers homes without the lids and/or hoses and clamps.

So, I had the company send me replacements asap. They arrived just as the inventory was transferring to the new warehouse. I have tried to inform everyone of the situation and contact all customers who may be affected. I have a list of all customers who need lids and hoses and they will go out next week.

Let me know if you haven’t told me about missing parts. Email at contact@juicer-steamer.com

Other than all that, the juicer is selling well and more and more customers are getting to enjoy using the Mehu-Liisa. That’s a good thing!
