Thanks for that file Carolyn!
I get my folders from the dollar store: 3 for $1. I put show planner, guest address labels, pamper me flyer, recruiting info in first pocket. Back pocket I put outside order forms & 3 catalogs. In the middle I put clear sheet protectors with: host benefits flyer, host/guest specials flyer (printed back to back), steps to a successful show flyer & 40 guests in 4 minutes flyer, recruiting info, wedding info, and fundraiser info. I also put stickers on outside & inside pockets. I also get these back after show so I can reuse them.

What is the 40 guests in 4 minutes flyer?

Never mind. I see the question has already been asked and answered.(lol)
Thanks

I don't think it's doing too much. I think it looks professional. I use the folders you can get for like 7 cents at back to school time & stock up on tons in the same color. I reuse them throughout the season (usually change colors with the season). I put stickers on the outside that say Thank you, Men love our products too, a couple recruiting stickers, the Please read this carefully sticker & a sticker with my name & contact info. In the left pocket, I put recruiting info, a wedding brochure, a guest list sheet with envelope to mail it back & the show planner. In the middle I put a thank you letter, show benefits flyer & host & guest special. In the right pocket, I put 3 catalogs & outside order forms. I just take the folder with me after the show (what would they do with it anyway?) & leave the specials, show planner & a catalog or two if needed.

I do the same thing using a 2 pocket folder that has the binding inside so I can place things in clear plastic sheet protectors. I think it keeps everything neat & organized & the stuff I put in the sheet protectors (like the DYLAB and host/guest specials), I tend to reuse -- so it saves money on copying costs. So far all fo my show hosts have loved them! I use regular 2 pocket folders to take to the shows for the guests that have copies of the host/guest specials (for the current month and the following month), an order form, a catalog and the customer care card that I use for the prize drawings.

I just started using 1" binders I picked up at BJ's for under $8 for 6. I have a sheet for the front cover with the PC logo & my info. On the inside pocket I put the host show planner and labels I print to stick on their invites that have the date time, place, rsvp etc. The host can stick them over the area you would write it in, Avery 6570 are a good size. The hosts appreciate that & there is no confusion on the date etc.

Then set up inside to your personal preference. I have sheet protectors that I put things in such as:
40 guests flyer
incentive coupons
S/S shopping list
Host & Guest special flyers
30 Minute Chicken recipe
Wedding Registry flyer
Fundraiser flyer
Well Stocked Kitchen flyer
Your Life Your Way flyer
Outside Order forms
Copy of the top sheet of the Gift Certificate Order Form
Then I also have an Avery (75254) binder pocket that will hold 5-6 catalogs nicely. A 5-pack was less than $3.

I plan to look for a zipper-type pencil case that has holes for the binder rings on it to put the postcards in so I don't have to worry about them falling out.

On the back outside cover I slide a catalog in.

I have gotten great feedback on these from the hosts. They turn them in to me at their show, or when they close. They look very professional & hold up better than manilla envelopes.

I have started having extra sheets of everything in sheet protectors with me so I can recycle the binder at my show to someone who books.

If this doesn't make sense it's because I've been up since 4:30 am & that's when the clock is set for, so on that note I'll bid y'all goodnight.

Let me know what you think...
