How Many Pampered Chef Catalogs Should You Bring to Your Fundraiser?

with you to the fundraiser? They cost so much. I've spent more then I've made.

It really depends on the fundraiser.

Catalogs are like business cards. Most people at shows give them back to me, but it's always fine with me if they keep them. Did you ask how many people are coming to the fundraiser? I usually bring enough for the expected guests plus 5 more.

Well it is a luncheon at a hall.

I encourage on-line ordering. I do hand out catalogs but I encourage people to return them.

I don't usually give many away at events like this -- I take orders or refer them to the website.

I do take one catalog each season, remove the middle staples, and put each page in a plastic protective sheet, then put them all in a binder. It is very easy for people to flip through and see what they'd like -- along with all the products I put on display.

My Director just gave me a huge set of last season's catalogs. She said I could put a label on the front saying "If you would like a current catalog, please contact me at..."
I think it is a brilliant idea. It's for all of those catalog grabbers at certain events.
My fundraiser this thursday is set up with many other vendors and I will give out current catalogs to those that show interest.

I have been one of those people that takes one of everything and then gives them barely a look when I get home. I have a new appreciation for vendors and their materials. D

I print out labels that say "SHOW COPY - Please Return" (got that idea from someone here). I then keep some extras with me for when someone asks if they can take a catalog with them.

I've only had 1 fundraiser, and there were 5 people there, lol. So that makes it easier to collect them back! hehe
