Ok ladies! I need to figure out what to put on a few free items.

Standard Postcards
Oversized postcards
Tshirt

I am just clueless! I know a lot of you have done recipes - have you done them on a postcard?????? If so, what designs to you use?? Thanks in advance!

I haven't done the oversized cards or the t-shirt
(Jennifer - jrstephens -had a thread about it though I think)

But for the regular postcard - right now I am using one with just a cranberry border. I have the Mom's Apple Crisp recipe on it, and on the back I have all of my contact info, with some info on types of shows (Cooking, Catalog, FR, Bridal, etc....)

I do a little flyer type thing. Shop from your seat, not your feet. Avoid the crowd show. Have show to get gifts for others, etc. I hand them out at booths. However, I THOUGHT I'd just ordered some and they aren't on my current order! I wanted them for my upcoming booths in the next 2 weeks!!

FYI- the calendar is a little desk one, like realtors and mechanics hand out. But you can customize it with your info and pick a set of pictures.

Actually - this time there are choices....the desk calendar, a Wall Calendar, or a set of 10 magnet calendars, like Janet did.

And Janet - that is great idea.....I think I may get some to give to my Jan hosts when I mail them reminder letters in Dec. I can circle their show date in red!

That's cool that it's choices! I had clicked through an email from earlier in the week and it was desk calendar only.

Check your e-mail again Ann, they send an "extended 24 hours" one or something similar.


The thing with Vista is if you want something, wait a week and it'll come around as a sale!

I like to wait until it is ALL on sale and take my pick and save S/H.

That's why I thought this one was so good! I think this is the first time I have seen choices for the calendar!

Just checked! Actually had 2 from you!

Love the calendars - and the "hoping your time....." sentence.

And I am doing better today. I think I just needed an opportunity to talk it out!
Thanks!
