Has anyone sent a mini catalog and had it successfully received? What is the correct postage? Did you put it in an envelope or tape and send as is??
 
When I've sent them before, I would tape & send as is. I used the regular letter postage, which would now be $.41.

Thanks pamperedgirl. Did your customer receive it ok?
 
I've sent them with regular postage in the past and had some customers not receive them. I am going to send them out again with just tape and a stamp because it is alot cheaper than sending the whole new catalog.
 
I'm going to stick mine in envelopes - I think the cost is the same, and they have a much better chance of making it to their destination intact.
 
Maybe I'll try that. Do you think it will be 41 cents with the catalog being in the envelope? The bad thing is when I put things in envelopes it makes me want to add more stuff; like host special flyers, recipes, etc.
 
I wouldn't add anything except maybe a small note that says when I received this mini catalog I thought of you. Let's talk about a booking so you can earn some of these new products. I did it from conference last year and had several orders of the new products as soon as I got back. I just used those stickers that are perforated for opening things like this and stuck the note to the edge of the sticker on the inside.

No problems in getting them mailed.
 
I like the personalized note. Great idea!
