Old Catalogs...trash or Still Have Life?

[esavvymom]

Ok.....trying to clean up some things, and I have two full packs plus about a dozen loose/stamped old Catalogs- Spring/Summer 2009 that were on the shelf.

I know that last Fall's season change didn't have a huge amount of discontinued products or price changes, so that's why i had kept them- for booths. But I didn't hand out as many as I'd hoped.

I don't have but a handful of the F/W 09 catalogs left, so as far as "oldie but goodies", these are it.


. Are these worth using for something or just recycle them?? Stoneware/Metal sheet pans had price changes, but otherwise everything is about the same (except new items).

I know some people pass them out - but I prefer to carry mini's, so at the end of the season, I save 2 (for future reference) and toss the rest. It's just easiest for me. I try not to have too many. At the end of this month, I will be tossing about 10-15 I would guess.

That's pretty much what I started doing last fall....so that's why I have more Spring/Summer. Just thought I'd ask before I just pitched them...in case I was overlooking something obvious and easy.

ooohhhhh do not throw them away. there is a great little sticker you can print out and put on the old ones and then leave them everywhere you go. I get business all the time from the old ones!!

How do you do that?? I always feel like I'm littering! Where do you leave them? I don't get out much to places that have magazines.... Maybe I should rethink where I go...I have the sticker. I usually use them at booths when someone wants a large catalog. I give them a large plus a mini to show them the new stuff.

Couls someone post the sticker? I have F/W 2009 that I wanted to leave at a few places.

Thanks!

I use old catalogs for vendor fairs - specifically for the people who ask for a full catalog but give that "I just want to look, but I'm not going to buy anything" vibe. I put a large (6 to a page) sticker on the front with the following info:
