I Have 72 Old Catalogs Left Over

[WLMcCoy]

I donated a product & $25 worth of free products to a benefit fundraiser raffle and laid out some old catalogs with and insert that said "If you would like to see Pampered Chef’s new and current Fall/Winter 2008 catalog with NEW products or if you would like to learn how you will earn free products by hosting a show, call me!"
and then my info.

I came across this old post at such a great time.
Halloween is right around the corner and I have a booth on Oct 9th! I think that would work great

Jayne, I love that idea and have forwarded it to my cluster. THANK YOU!

I have labels I put on my old catalogs:

This calalog may be old,
Check it out, you may be sold.
Like what you see?
Have a party & get if for FREE!

I leave them everywhere. The ones where I get my car fixed have panned out. A custmer came in and was raving about the kernel cutters, they grabbed my catalog and called me to order!! I am now their consultant!

Give a few to your new recruit so she doesn't use her new catalogs and give her some ideas mentioned here. Remember to explain to her that she will get more catalogs when she starts recruiting too.

Just a note, we no longer get a pack of catalogs when we sign a new recruit. That went away when they started the recruiting bonus money.

Thanks for bringing this old post back to remind us of how to use in time for Halloween. =)

I have A MILLION Mini-Cats cause I usually order them to send as invites, or to keep in my purse, and never get rid of nearly enough. I usually make treat bags for our trick or treaters, so I think it'll work perfect! Maybe a coupon on it too, a mini-cat and coupon for mom and a treat for the kids.... hmmm....

All of these ideas are great, and I may use one of the labels mentioned. My director mentioned to me that some people may be upset by the price increases when they look at old catalogs, so just keep that in mind. She suggested using the recipes in the catalogs to laminate them to make book marks. You can put your information on the back of the bookmark and it's an easy way to get some great marketing materials that are not out of date. Definitely do this with catalogs that are from the Fall season last year or later. I don't give out old catalogs that are older than the last season.

The Halloween idea is great! But if you don't want to go out and you have lots of kids coming to your own door... tell them you have something for Mommie too! Give them a mini cat to take home. Parents ALWAYS look thru the bag! Woohoo!
