Have any of you seen both of these? If so, which would you recommend? I have a vendor fair 11/21 and would like to hand the mini catalogs out but I don't want to be stuck with holiday catalogs afterward. Could the holiday catalogs pass after the holidays? TIA!
 
I think the holiday ones are great for this time of year because they give great ideas for gift giving. I wouldn't pass out teh holiday catalogs after the holidays, but that is just me. :)
 
HOLIDAY ALL THE WAY!! You are doing the booth at Thanksgiving time- PERFECT and then in AWESOME time for December! Well worth the money as the pictures are better and brighter and will draw attention to it on a table! :)
 
I think the holiday one is way better than the regualr mini one.

Ditto. The pictures are georgous. Just puts me in the Christmas mood looking at it!!
 
I would have some of both.

There may be people who are PC Junkies, and their question will be "what's new?" So then you have the Fall Mini to hand to them.

The Christmas one is beautiful...but I won't use it after Christmas. The regular mini can be used until the Spring one comes out.

Good point!! You're always using your head!!;)
 
Is the fair an ongoing anual event? What has bee the typical attendance in the past? Do you have any nov or december shows on your books? You can always use leftover minis as invitations.
 
I handed out both at our fair this month.
