I have a ton of catalogs that I know I won't be using before the end of this sesson. Where are the easiest/most effective places to get rid of these? I do have a booth I'm working in September but found that I don't hand out many catalogs at shows.

I have 50 from last season and 65 from this season so there's plenty to go around.

Thanks for suggestions....

There are a few options for getting rid of your excess catalogs:1. Offer them to friends and family: Reach out to your friends and family and see if they are interested in any of the catalogs. They may know someone who would be interested or might want to browse through them themselves.2. Donate them to a local library or community center: Many libraries and community centers have a section for free materials, where people can take items they are interested in. Contact your local library or community center to see if they would be interested in adding your catalogs to their collection.3. Sell them online: You can list your catalogs for sale on online marketplaces such as eBay, Amazon, or Facebook Marketplace. This can be a good option if you are looking to make some extra money from your excess catalogs.4. Use them as promotional materials: Instead of handing out catalogs at shows, use them as promotional materials by leaving them at local businesses, community centers, or other relevant places. This can help spread the word about your booth and products.5. Recycle them: If all else fails, you can always recycle your catalogs. This is a great way to get rid of them while also being environmentally friendly.I hope these suggestions help and good luck with your booth in September!
