Who May Find This Useful

Consultants who are navigating the distribution of mini catalogs and inserts may find the shared experiences and concerns relevant to their own situations.

So the gal I talked to earlier at HO sent out a couple emails and got back to me. She said that Spring Launch attendees will have inserts mailed out Feb 20th (not the 6th which is what she was told previously), change over will be mailed out Feb 24th. Nothing about preorders - they aren't allowed to do adjustments on these if we call about them. It doesn't seem like they really know what's going on. She said it's just as confusing and frustrating on their end (she was really nice and completely agreeing with me, saying that it makes their job hard being told several different things and not really knowing what's going on).
 
Then it seems pointless to wait to send them out for immediate needs then.Put a positive spin on it instead of negative. Use it as a way to tell your guests/hosts/prospects "There are many MORE great new items to see, so be sure to come buy to get your hands on them, or look at the new catalog!" Make them want more. Don't show them everything at once...make them desire to see the rest!
My wording isn't great, so someone else may have a better way to put it, but I think you get the idea.
 
I agree that about them not including the grilling products in the mini's what where they thinking? i bet they thought they could save on production by skimping out a few pages, just for them to send us inserts? odd.
At my SL they said they would be mailed out "later that week" I am still yet to see them. I thought I might order some on my supply order, but they weren't even an option. They should be there IMO.. They are not listed in my "shipment status" on CC either.. I sent my SL ones out regardless. I hope they have inserts in my supply order that on the way, but I doubt it!

Maybe something like this? Trying to be as un-wordy as possible.

"This booklet just has a few of our new products.
Love to grill? you will want to see our full new catalog!"
