Since I re-started last September, I've been mailing the minis myself as invitations (with a full page invite), and I have doubled the attendance at shows, and most of them come with a list of things they want to buy already. Then they see the big catalog and start changing their orders.

My attendance has gone up as well as pre-orders. Also, not to many want to take the Full size catalog home now, so I'm saving there. For Fall/Winter I will only order 50 full size and a "ton" of minis! Seems like we will always be able to get the larger ones it's the minis you need to stock up on! I too put mine in an envelope with a full size invite.

Does anyone know if the the mini's will get destroyed in the mail (when not put in a separate envelope). I'm soooooo excited about sending out mini's without the extra invitation and envelope. A timesaver and money saver too - just gotta love that :)

From the feedback I have gotten - yes, they do get destroyed.
 
I was at Staples today and they had in their clearance bin a pack of 120 for $4.50!! They were originally $16.79! Yay! Beat that one Carolyn!! :angel::angel:

I also thought I would look on ebay. There are a ton on there!
 
Wow great deal! Congrats on that one!

I think I'll do envelopes as I think they will be cheaper than labels and have a better chance of not getting mangled in the mail. September will be my first trial month for mini catalogs for invites so we will see how it turns out. Right now, I'm having chest pains thinking of the added costs. I just added up the cost of the host packets, catalogs, OOFs etc, postage, the cost of the mini catalog, postage, host gift, 1 guest give away and OMG... I'm here to make money and quite frugal. That's a big 'gulp' to swallow. But if the ROI is worth it, I'll do it. Time will tell!
