I have been carrying around and handing out the mini-catalogs to everyone I talk to lately in stores and offices I visit on my day-to-day routine. I'm going through a lot of them, but at less than $.11 each, they're cheap enough that I can give them out and not worry about the expense. It's an easy way to get in the 3 a day contacts. I need to get better at getting THEIR info, but it's getting mine out there!

Last week I gave one to the woman at the bakery. Today, I went back to the bakery (I like fresh rolls, mmm) and the woman asked for another one. She'd given hers to a friend. I asked if she wanted to host a show and she said yes! I wouldn't have gotten the booking if I hadn't given her the catalog, and she is very enthusiastic!
 
congrats! I've only given one out and it resulted in the guys wife calling me and yelling at me for not giving her husband a larger version! LOL I made an appointment with her to stop by her house that weekend, I got a $40 order, and a booking off of it too! I really should get better about handing them out, I keep them in my purse even! Thanks for the reminder that I need to do this!
 
I was wearing my PC jacket from Merrill yesterday when I stopped by the store, and the store manager asked for some information to pass out to people. I got as many small catalogs out and one large catalog to give him. It helps he loves PC. I told him since he owns a liquor store that I would love to learn how to make some good mixed drinks for a bevs and bites show. He just laughed and said I only sell it not mix it.
