I know this is a stupid question but I am a fairly new PC and my director nor my recruiter have really helped me out, I have done all my studying through my materials mailed to me, research on the PC site and on here. I have over loaded my brain as I had no choice. :o

I have no clue where to go to order catalogs! I have looked everywhere. I have the ones that came with my kit but I am doing MAJOR advertising to get myself out there and am afraid I might run out. I have done almost every way possible to market locally and am still going with a huge list of people to hit, the problem is I am not leaving catalogs because in order to do that, I would need hundreds. There are a few places that I would like to hand a few catalogs too but I also have two shows at the end of this month and one in October and I want to make sure I have enough for the two coming up.

Can anyone help me out please? Also, how much do the catalogs cost? :confused:

Thanks!
 
Re: Catalogs?If you go into Pampered partner you go into noncommission order. I never know the #'s so I go to the magnifying glass and write what I am looking for. Just make sure it doesnt say spanish. You can also order mini ctalogs to hand out to people
 
Re: Catalogs?Hi & Welcome! Go to P3 & find non-commission orders & there you will be able to find everything you need. Also on Consultants Corner If you go to downloads, scroll down & you will be able to see an itemized list of all the items we can order & their #s...HTH

Re: Catalogs?I got half and half. I had the summer ones and then the fall ones. I wanted to order some more of the fall ones just to be safe.
 
Re: Catalogs?I also like to hand out recipe cards with a business card attached or stamped with my info. I include my phone #'s e-mail address and website info... I tell them to log on and save my website in their favorites -that way.. they always have a current catalog to look at. Good luck!! And I always get their info to follow up.

Re: Catalogs?Thank you very much! I did hand out many different types of flyers with my information on them I just think it would be nice to hand out a catalog here and there too!

I did find how to order the catalogs. I was going to the right place the whole time but wasn't finding the right area to order.

Thanks
Ann
 
Re: Catalogs?Not sure how long ago you signed Up, did you order the "Business Booster" set yet? (About 50% savings, INCLUDES Catty'...)
 
Re: Catalogs?If not, you CAN order it through P3
 
Re: Catalogs?I ordered the mini-catalogs to use about some vendor booths! This F/W one is great! It has a recipe, new & old products, the opportunity... I gave out about 10 at my Vendor Booth today! They are much cheaper than the big catalog too. Someone on here suggested using those instead and putting a label with website info. I know you are new so just put in your email (I set up a separate one for PC) and phone number!
