Don't know if this goes here but I'll post anyway.

I just received my supply order that included the PC tote-the one with the clear plastic pocket for catalogs. Do any of you carry it? SInce it has PC written on it, I thought it might be a good marketing tool. What do you think?

How funny, I just got mine tonight as well!! I don't plan to use it everyday. I will carry it as a purse when I go to the grocery store though!!! Other then that, I will probably use it to carry supplies to meetings and shows!
 
I carry mine everywhere...work, store, doctor, etc. A couple people have noticed and commented...nothing out of it yet, but I just started so we'll see...
 
I don't have the PC one, but I still carry mine everywhere. You never know who might see. Just last week I was at the Dentist's office and the girls working were all giddy to see a new catalog!
 
I use mine just about everyday when I go out and about. It does strike up conversation.
 
I've gotten a catalog show off of it. Someone saw it as I was leaving Red Lobster. She asked if I sold PC and mentioned she hasn't seen a catalog in awhile. So I asked her for her info (name/number) and I would send her a catalog. I called for her address and explained how she could have a catalog show. She did and more than paid for my bag ;-) I don't carry it everyday, but have other PC purses (including the red one from VIP) that I use as well, esp when I want to be a little more subtle.
 
I am not a purse-changer, so when I made my new homemade catty bag my new purse, I've been carrying it EVERYWHERE. I still have yet to get business from it, but I figure it will happen sooner or later and that will be business I wouldn't have gotten otherwise!
