Here's the bad thing about sending out mini's as your invites...

I had a bunch of shows lined up, so I ordered mini's to use. Between having shows canceling/rescheduling and having hosts decide they wanted to do the invites themselves (phone and e-mail), I ended up ordering too many. This happened before Christmas, too. So now I have 2 winter packs and 4 Fall packs left over. I hate that I wasted money. Now I don't know what to do with them. There's just too many to leave places (I don't go to that many places, that often). I think the winter ones I can hand out next Christmas season to people that I bump into (letting them know the prices are outdated, etc.)-- but 4 packs of Fall ones?
 
I would still put a label on it "Though this catalog is old, look inside and you'll be sold" etc.

Leave them at nail parlors, salons, car washes, daycare, give them out at booths, etc. Don't waste....and even though you don't "go" to those places ---- GO there and just ask...can I leave some catalogs for your clients? The worst thing they would say is NO.

Be positive and go for it

True, I should go and ask to leave a few at each location. I've been such a chicken at doing this in the past.
 
You have nothing to lose..., and grab one of their business cards so you remember where you've gone...its nice to refer business there also!
 


Hi there, I can understand your frustration with having extra mini's leftover. It can be difficult to predict how many to order, especially when shows get cancelled or rescheduled. One idea could be to offer them as a free gift with purchase for any orders placed during the fall season. This way, you can still get some use out of them and your customers will appreciate the added bonus. Another option could be to offer them as a giveaway on your social media pages or at a local event. This way, you can reach a wider audience and potentially gain new customers. I hope these suggestions help and don't worry, we've all been there with leftover inventory. Keep up the great work!
