How much postage is it to mail out the mini catalog? I've put it in envelopes before and just put on two stamps but wasn't sure what the correct postage was.

Does anyone know?
 
If it's just the catalog and one piece of paper it is one stamp (41 cents)

Yeah! Great.. thanks Linda!
 
Last fall I mailed the Holiday mini and a letter to all of my past hosts and good customers. I stopped in one of the MailBox places and asked them to check my postage and they said I needed 17 more cents on each. I took it to the post office and they said nope, I was still under weight. Just goes to show you how much mark-up the mail box place charges.

I did the same thing, except took it to the post office - and had to add postage! I think it depends on which way the wind is blowing and the phase of the moon....

Hrm... perhaps I'll fix one up and take it down to the post office before I go and mail a bunch of them out.
 
I just printed the Guest Special for March - 4 to a page, cut them out and inserted them into the middle of the mini-cat. I only put one $.41 stamp on them (after taping them shut) and they all mailed fine! People are already calling/emailing me with orders! :D
 
Do you have a copy of the post cards you made?

I just used the ones from Consultant's Corner - the March Guest Special PDF - you can print "multiple items per page" in your printer software (all are different) and print up to 4 on a page, then cut them to fit in the mini-cat. Easy-peasy! :balloon:
