I'm in search of a cover letter for my catalogs that I'm going to place around my town. Does anyone have any wording suggestions or one you use??? I looked in the files, but I can't seem to find one.
 
Do you mean the label about the catalog being old?I don't recall anyone putting a cover or putting anything big on their catalogs - kinda defeats the purpose, I think.Most people put their label with their info on the back, and if the catalog is old, a label with a poem, which I'll have to try to look up.
 
Here's the poem:Though the date on this catalog may be old,
just look inside and you will be sold
all the great products there are to see,
call me to see how you can earn them for free!
If extra income is what you need
I can help you to succeed.
 
I do not have a letter, but someone in my cluster forwarded this document to me (which I have used my info on it). It is a label to put on the back of catalogs.
