I've been leaving my old catalogs at my dentist, eye doctor, medical doctor and auto repair shop lately, with a sticker that says, "Call me for a new catalog and a way to earn FREE products!" "I don't want you to pay full price for anything in here!" :D

I just got a voicemail from someone that found a catalog and she wants a new catalog and to talk about getting free stuff! I can't wait for my lunch break so that I can call her!

What a sweet woman! She is so excited about shopping. Thing is, this is a NEW catalog that I left at my eye doctor, so she has a current one. She was flipping through the pages saying, "OH! I want one of those, and OH!" She couldn't talk at length because she was at a doctor's appointment, but she said she would be calling me back about placing an order and then hosting a show.Now, it looks like I need to drop off another catalog at the eye doctor!
 
great! I have left catalogs all over for years and have never had even a call.
 
Ok....so here is what you need to do! TRACK THAT SHOW when she has one! Just start a notebook page and track her purchase, show/sales, bookings, and then each from there. :) It would be really interesting to see what comes of that one catalog a year or two from now. :D

It's a good thing she was able to see it.
 
What size labels did you use? This is a great idea. I have a lot of the spring catalogs left over.
