Good morning!

Newbie question - does the mini-cat need one or two stamps?

Thanks!
 
Unless you stuff it with enough other info that it puts it over 1 oz., it should take just a 42 cent stamp. If not, I will have several showing up in my mailbox early next week!!

I mail them every year and they take just the one stamp.
 
The new ones have more pages but I think they still take 1 stamp.
 
I can't wait to get my mitts on the new mini catty! Our TEAM meeting is tonight and one of my clustermates got me a pack at conference so I won't have to wait till my supply order to get some of them out!

If anyone can weigh it on a postal scale with 1/4 of a sheet of paper in it, that is a good size to make a little "insert" giving them an incentive to call you back! (Still follow up though!) Just make sure it doesn't go over an ounce, or the postage will go up.

And since there are quite a few newbies...I will just throw this out there: ONLY SEND OUT A FEW PER DAY...as many as you can follow up with each day. Otherwise, you are throwing your money (for the mini cat and the postage) into the wind and it will be gone.... (mail out a few, wait a few days and call each of them personally)

The $$ is in the FOLLOW-UP!!
 
This is my first time sending these out. Do you have to tape them shut?

It's better if you do...a small piece on each of the three open sides so they don't get caught in the machinery!

Office Depot/Max also sell those little "circles" that have the perforation at the top/middle to seal them with too. And repeat on what Kelly said about only sending out a few a day so you can follow up each day and not get overwhelmed.
 
I just weighed one without any inserts on my postal scale and they're only half an ounce. AWESOME!!!!
