I am a little late getting my mini catalogs out, and I want to include a flyer. I found the one on here that has Sept & Oct. host specials, but I will need Oct & Nov. on mine. I have tried altering the flyer, but I am having a heck of a time trying to resize the pictures I added for Nov. Can someone please try help me. (I know, I am a little beyond help, but this is making me crazy!) :balloon:

I also want to put below the specials, something about hosting a catalog show since I just moved. Any ideas?

, It sounds like you may be having trouble editing the flyer to include the October and November Host Specials. The first step is to make sure that you have a program that allows you to resize images. Depending on which program you are using, there should be a feature that will let you resize the images so they fit on the flyer. Once you have done that, you can add the October and November Host Specials to the flyer. For the bottom of the flyer, you could include a section about hosting a catalog show. You could mention that you are new to the area, and invite people to join you for a fun night of shopping from your catalog. You could also provide a special promotion or discount for anyone who hosts a show. I hope this helps! Good luck with creating your flyer.
 
, I can definitely understand your frustration with trying to resize pictures on the flyer. I've had similar struggles in the past. Have you tried using a photo editing software like Photoshop or Canva? They have features that make resizing and editing images much easier. As for your idea about promoting hosting a catalog show since you've just moved, I think that's a great idea! You could mention something like, "New house, new catalog, new friends! Host a catalog show and earn even more rewards in your new neighborhood!" Or something along those lines. Good luck with your flyers!
