I thought the cover was just ok- but I love the inside. Finally they put the host benefits and job benefits in the front!!! I also love the little notes by some of the products. Fewer recipes- but I can live with that.
What do you all think???
 
The only thing someone pointed out to me is the picture on page 4, showing a bunch of products kind of looks like that is what they would be getting. Hope what I just wrote makes any sense... BUT eveything looks Awesome! :D
 
I think it's the best layout they've ever done! I especially like the spready for the pantry products. Last time they were a bit hidden.

I only wish they'd have more tips and recipes. I loved the little one liner recipes they had in the last catalog.
 
I love it. Like the biz opp right in the front with the visual of the hostess benefits

That was my first thought so we need to be sure that guests/hosts know it's just an EXAMPLE... not what they will be getting.
 
I like it - only thoughts I ever have (and its reoccuring every catalog) -
1. Why do they always make the picture of the Beer Bread sooooo small? Most people don't know we have it and always refer to TS's...again this F/W....SMALL picture. (Why don't they show the beer bread maybe being dipped into a dip/oil etc.? Grrr..

2. We have a bridal/gift registry AND fundraiser program and it is NEVER mentioned in a catalog When we leave catalogs out and about, people don't know about these other things we offer. Why not put a sidebar down say, the simple additions page, regarding the Registry and somewhere else put a blurb about Fundraisers?
 
I was disappointed in the cover. It didn't "wow" me. Love the pantry section...it really pops out and the little write ins. Would love more recipes, at least 3 or 4.

My most favorite picture spread is page 14 & 15 in our Spring/Summer catalog. That just jumps out and makes you want to be at the summer party!

The chocolate cookbook...I have already gained 20 pounds just looking at it.:D;) The pages are sticky together because of the drool!!! Sadly, I put it in the same catagory as men must put porn in:bugeye::devil:.

There are so many recipes that I want to make that I decided to make My Fall Kick-Off (which I do as a Host Appreciation Party) a Chocolate Buffet. :chef:
