I didn't find anything on here like this - I may not be looking in the right place or it may just be a stupid idea ... I don't know.
Anyway - I was making up packets for a fundraiser the other day and wanted to promote bookings somehow....so I made up a booking brochure from the booking slides. I stapled them into the catalogs on page 61 right next to the hosting chart. I don't know if I will get any bookings from it - but I figure I'm more likely if they really know the benefits than if they don't. I'm also going to staple them in for all of my catalog shows.
Then I made some others that I will carry around with me to give out - I gave 2 out today to people at H&R Block while I waited - along with a mini catalog.

Those are cute! I like them :)
 
I wasn't able to open the document. It said it had an error. Can you re-send it in a PDF file?
Thanks,
Jeannie

super cute! love that idea!
 
I really like these!!!! Great idea, and thanks for doing all of the work and sharing with us.
 
Very cute!
 
could you post that in whatever program you created it? I would love to use that this weekend at a vendor fair
 
I love this! It looks so cute and fun, and really highlights all of the benefits incredibly well!
Would you mind posting this in publisher - I'd love to use it, but would just need to replace your info with mine!
 
Very cute (I like the first version - Fun, Friends, Free - best). Adorable picture of you, too!

I'm glad you all like them! I'm glad I could share something - I've just been taking and taking and taking from the files here.

The reason for their being 2 different ones is because I didn't want my pic on the back of the one that I am stapling in the catalog.

I'm posting the publisher version for you.

I can try to put it into a word document later today.
 
They look great, I can't change in pdf and do not have pub. Any way to get them in Word? I would love to use them down here!

I heard there was a pdf program that was free but can't find it...

Thanks, CK

These do not open - The font is scrambled.
 
just a suggestion- since so many seem to want them in a format they can edit and alot of folks don't have publisher and Word doesn't sound like it works as well (although it worked for me!)- maybe you can just edit your PDF file, and take off the personal contact and photo and leave that part blank? Then the folks who do want to use it and edit it with THEIR info, can use PDF Escape to add the appropriate text. I don't know if they can add their own image to the document with PDF Escape, but I know you can add the text for your own contact, etc.

I was able to get them to open when I tried. I only had one minor glitch with the #11 where it said "Be one of My hosts....". That needs retyped or something, but easy enough to fix. Not sure why it wouldn't open or why it would appear scrambled for someone else, unless it's a version incompatibility issue. (??)
 
giggle, my word opened it with mostly wingdings as text

i have publisher, but says the file is corrupt in some way

I do appreciate the repeated attempts at posting though

OK...one more try! I think I can...I think I can... I think I can... hopefully get it right for everyone this time! I took Bobbi's suggestion and deleted my pic & info then made the PDF. And Bobbi - I don't know why, but every time I open mine in Publisher or Word I have to retype the word hosts on #11. Just a microsoft quirck of somesort!!!
