Wondering what everyone does with leftover catalogs from the previous season.
 
I...put a sticker on them that says "Though the date on this catalog may be old...Just look inside and you will be sold! Many great products you will see...Call me to learn how to get some FREE!"

I then either use them for booths, such as our Home & Garden show, or I leave them at Doctor's offices, Dentist's offices, anywhere I do business!
 
I also save them to hand out when people approach me about PC. I usually carry a few new ones as well, and then the older ones-then I just grab one. HTH
 
use for boothI put stickers on them that say 'for current catalog contact...' and give out at various booths I do. It's a money-saver since some of those people attending events don't always keep your catalogs!
 
Pass them out everywhere!!I leave mine at dentist offices, doctor's offices, waiting rooms in hospitals, daycare centers, resale shops, schools, etc... Anywhere I am allowed to leave them I do. And it pays off. And yes definitely a sticker that says Pass me Around or Call me for an updated catalog is good. It is a wonderful and cheap way to advertise. Have them handy in your car to give out to strangers who may want one. If they are serious and call you back with an order you can send them a new catalog.
