I never thought about putting anything about the opportunity on mine--thanks! I only used the part above that in the past.
 
Glad I stopped by here before I printed more labels for my old catalogs! I just updated my master on the computer--boy, if I did these earlier like I was going to I would be bummed!
 
What do you do with them? I had read something in my Pampered Chef paperwork to be sure to throw old catalogs and paperwork away, so I did. :(

Old catalogs are great to leave in waiting rooms, put out on tables at fairs,etc. It is a great way to introduce people to Pampered Chef and to let them know who to contact "you" without giving out/away your new season of catalogs. When they contact you to place an order or ask for a new catalog you get their information to follow up. Some people take catalogs and never get back to you so this way if they want something they need to contact you to make sure it is still available,etc.
 
I gave away 200 old catalogs at a fair this weekend, and I bet MAYBE 10 of those people will actually call me. If I had used new catalogs I would have wasted a lot of money for new catalogs just for most people to throw them away! Only the real customers know that it isn't the new one!!
 
This is what I use.
