Who May Find This Useful

Consultants looking for ideas on enhancing their host packets and those considering the investment in presentation materials may find this discussion relevant.

So I think I have my list finalized...

Pocket 1 = 2 catalogs each with Itemized receipt and guest special inside
Pocket 2 = Show Planner
Pocket 3 = DYLAB & Batter Bowl Bonus/5 for 5 (depending on my mood)
Pocket 4 = What my website can do for you flyer
Pocket 5 = No Risk Factor Recruiting & Your Life, Your Way Brochure
Pocket 6 = 2 catalogs each with Itemized receipt and guest specials inside

Also on the first pocket is a magnetic business card and a show sticker and on the last pocket is the new recruiting DVD (I think I'm putting a note on it saying "Only watch if you aren't 100% satisfied with your job").

I face one of my back catalogs out, so that through the back of the folder you can see the catalog cover. On the front in the pocket I have a plain paper with the logo and my information at the bottom (I may alter that a bit... we'll see... anyone have any ideas?!?)

Maybe that will help you Jill with your finalized list...or just complicate it more :)

I think I may do a survey with some friends using the cheap 2 pocket and the Jill method to see which they like best or if they even care... hmmm...
 
Thanks for all the links to your packet information sheets. They are awesome.

Do you love a bargain and the life one is an opportunity flyer. Someone else may have them. I have them on my laptop and I am at work.

What is that Batter Bowl Bonus? Do you put the Host and Guest Specials?
I don't put Catalogs on Both sides..I don't want it to get confusing. Each section is for something Specific it mine. Right now...and this is from my head.

Section 1: Catalogs, OOF 's & Guest Specials
Section 2: Host Letter, Show Planner and WMWCDFY (What my website Can do for you)
Section 3: Host Specials and Host Rewards
Section 4: DYLAB
Section 5 Going Going Gone or New Spring Products
Section 6: Opportunity Section w/DVD

This can Vary.

Oh and I might put a 50 guests in 5 minutes or a who to invite flyer. I should have already given them that when they decided to book, but just incase. I should also include an envelope for outside orders and extra invitations or flyers to give out.
 
I think these are the flyers people were asking about it... I got them all on here, so the credit goes to whoever made them :)

Jill, how many catalogs do you put? I was running across the problem that I can only fit 2 (I also include the itemized receipt and the guest special) in a pocket.

Oh yeah, I also put the discontinued product flyer in front of the 2 catalogs on the back pocket.

That is absolutely great. I saw a stoneware one just like this. That may fit better for February.
Oh I fit 3 Cats in the front pocket. If you have to put more, then use the back, I guess...but I fit 3 in the front with no problem.
 
I've seen one with quick stir pitchers too!
 
Hey Jill you and are close to get a stripper star--we're not that far away!

Where is the stoneware flyer like the batter bowl one? I don't remember if I've seen that one or not. That's an excellent idea for February shows!

HOOOORAY! Yeah I like. It will go well with February! Looks nice. A few of these flyers could stand to be updated like this one.
 
I know what you mean--this is classy!!!!!
 
Okay, I didn't even make it all the way through but love the folders. I don't even do paper ones like Lacy. I am so plain. I just put it all in a big manila envelope.

I put in:
Host tips sheet (from somewhere on here!)
Tale of Two Hostesses (cooking hosts only)
3 cattys
6 order forms
each catty has the special flier for that month, right now mine also have the discontinued & price change charts
Host/Guest specials for this month & next 2
Your life your way
Postcards

I might move up to the paper folders w/brads in the middle and put some of the fliers in sheet protectors. Would love if anyone can share the recycle stickers and sorry if someone already put it up!

Oh, and no dish b*tch for me...but since i actually like washing my PC stuff (LOL!) DH has finally started using more of it instead of griping how it's like something we already owned!
