I am re-vamping my recruiting packets and I know this is a small detail, but what do you all use for the packets?
A folder? envelope?
Just wondering......:)
 
Nothing. They get to take a catalog home and I give them an opportunity brochure. That's it.
 
In the process of doing this... I wanted to devise a way of keepng continual contact with the person.

I'm making up little gift bags. My packet will be these organza bags i got at the dollar store, one of the your life your way DVD's, a bag of microwave popcorn, my business card, and 2 fliers. I will give it to them and tell them that I will give them a couple days to watch it and call them on Thursday evening to see what they thought of it.

I will call, chat and then make arrangements to meet with them to pick up/discuss the DVD after they watch it so that I have another "excuse" to follow up with them. This is also a chance to share the Empowering Women magazine with them. When I pick that up, it's yet another chance to follow up and talk with them.

I feel like this is a less pushy/pesky approach to follow up with the potential rep, but lets them know I'm always thinking of them and keeping up with them.
 
I have recruiting gift bags!
They contain:
Opp brochure
Your life, Your Way DVD
mini packet of microwave popcorn
water with "my" label on it (Water label is JillySue's creation!!)
individual packet of Crystal Light powder for the water
Thanks for your interest postcard (printed from VistaPrint.com) that I hand write: Thanks for taking a few minutes to watch this DVD. Enjoy your popcorn and drink and imagine what PC can do for YOU!!

Cute, I'm hosting a Southern Living At Home show this month and the consultant did the same thing except she put a bottled coke in the bag instead of water. I LOVE the idea of the water label....too cute and catchy!!! I'm gonna have ta use it!!!!!
 
Here's maybe a funny question...I've put mine in folders and envelopes...I haven't really tried gift bags yet, but I drag them from show to show to show and they get pretty nappy looking. How do you keep them spiffy?
 
Well, the organza ones are kinda nice in that they are a cloth instead of paper so they won't wear and tear as easily, I would think :)
