Anybody notice that the spanish and english catalogs have differences about them. First off, I noticed that the consultant kit on the backs are different, the recipes throughout are different, the layout is different as well as some of the photos have different foods being demoed in them.
 
Yes, the Spanish catalog as well as the Spanish New Consultant kit are different. They both highlight products that are popular with the Spanish customer base, and the catalog highligts recipes from the new cookbook (according to CN).
 
Yes, they are different because they are different markets with different likes and needs.
 
I think it is great that PC does this as they are different markets w/ different needs. Some companies just change the language. Kudos for PC for making it better for the Spanish market!!
 
But, Ohhhhh - the food in the Spanish Catalog looks soooo good! I think they have more food in their photography than than the English version.

It has both translations - English and Spanish - and the recipes are to die for!
 
The only thing I am upset about is the Spanish catalog says fall/winter the English is just Fall!! I really don't like that. What if I have leftover catalogs in January - my catalogs are going to look outdated!! I know they offer a second seasonal catalog, but I don't like having to buy them! If they want to do this, then they should make the 25 pack as cheap as buying the 100 pack per catalog!
