I have a gal that wants to host a catalog show - or perhaps an online show. Since her employer doesn't allow catalogs at work, she asked if I would make her some business card type cards saying she is having a show and directing them to my website. Anyone have anything like that?

Now that I'm thinking about it - how does an online show work?
 
Do you have any blank biz cards or postcard size cards from Nancy's? You could type up some info on them for her, kind of like an invite to a cooking show, but for a catalog show.

An online show is basically a catalog show where the guests place their orders through your website under the host's name. So she doesn't have to collect any orders.

I'm getting ready to make some cards like this for a fundraiser I'm doing. If you send me some info, I'll do cards for you as well...

Oh, Katie - you're a sweetie! I'll PM you ...
 
Got it...

I was going to do post cards for my fundraiser - easier for people to not lose. I personally would lose the business card, but I can make whatever you want... whatever you think would work for this host.

BTW... have you thought about giving her some (not lots, but a few) mini-catalogs to hand out to people?

Postcards would be good. Actually better, probably. Having something that fits most hosts, rather than just one, is preferrable, don't you think?

I don't have any of the mini catalogs. I plan on giving her 2-3 full sized ones, though. I've been hearing (reading) a lot lately about the mini's and want to look into them. Just having gotten to it yet.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What information should be included on the Catalog Show cards?

Each card should include the date of the Catalog Show, the host's name, contact information, a link or QR code to view the catalog online, and any special offers or incentives for ordering. This ensures potential customers have all the necessary details to make a purchase.

How can I effectively distribute the Catalog Show cards?

Distributing the cards can be done in various ways, such as handing them out during social gatherings, leaving them at local businesses, or mailing them to friends and family. You can also share them digitally through social media or email to reach a wider audience.
