Leave them at doctor office, nail, hair salons, anywhere that people wait. Use them at fairs/booths.
This season is the best one ever to re-use the old catalogs since no prices went up. Put a sticker on the front telling them that there are new products available now and that some things are discontinued.

I don't know what those of you that have been with Pampered Chef a while think about this idea but let me know what your thoughts are. I've been thinking of taking last season's catalogs and taking the new mini catalogs and using double sided tape and taping the new mini catalogs just inside the front cover and using them at booths and when out and about doing prospecting. You would still want to put stickers on the items that have been discontinued. What do you think? Thanks.jj16
