they are a bit cheaper (I think they were $1.30 or $1.50)
I put a sticker on them that says "please return to consultant at your show" so that I can reuse them over and over

Your host packets are so nice looking . Thanks for sharing your ideas. I have thought about putting a cd in also but never have. Thanks for all the picture. What a nice job!!Jilleysue said:Ok, so tonight I found the most Fabulous Folder for Host Packets. I took pictures for you guys to see. It was a greyish clear folder with a clear side on the inside so you can put a title page. I inserted a piece of card stock with a PC label on it. I filled it with just basics for now to give you guys an idea. It has a place for a business card and next to it, I put a show strategy sticker. I put catelogs in the first pocket and behind there, I will probably put OOF. In the middle there are 2 clear pockets. Enough room for plenty of flyers. I threw in the it's show time, The Spring Products, And I would normally put the Host and Guest Specials. There is also a DYLAB. In the back, it is so perfect, for the opportunity section. I put the YOUR LIFE, YOUR WAY FLYER and the new contents we got in the mail and then there is a perfect spot for the new DVD.
I absolutely love the way this looks. I only put one together. The part that makes me sad is the folders are $2.00.....OUCH! I also hadn't decided if I want to put DVD's in every host packet...OUCH again. They do look so good. I mean put together, it isn't too much and it looks so professional. I kept the stickers on the showtime flyer. I would probally also add my Cooking show planner or whatever else. There is plenty of room. I justed wanted to see how they looked. I mean it looks like something straight from HO. It's what I would want to get as a Host, but I know I'll want to invest a lot in this to make it look nice and I many not get my money out of them. I just think making an impression makes a difference.
I have a couple more pics...
Maybe I could find them cheaper? Maybe I could try to get them back after a show? And do I want to include the DVD??????

Oh you are very welcome. I have gotten considerable compliments on them. People can't believe that is what I give to my hosts. I just think anything I give them is a general reflection of what I think of myself and my business. I generally tell them to take a look at the CD if they have time, but to keep it in the folder because we will use it at the show as guests are arriving and when I am taking orders. Tip though...bring an extra in case they misplace it.
