We use little colored dot or star stickers on back. Just pick your color and stick them on. The colored slips sound easier though. Alot faster to separate them than having to look at each one and find a little sticker.

Good point! This fair sounds interesting. I've done several "festivals" with dreadful results as far as booking and recruiting. Like you gave out tons of catalogs for nothing!
These festival and craft show are the perfect place to get rid of old catalogs!! ;) Just put on a sticker that says: "Although this catalog may be old, Look inside and you'll be sold! Take a look, if you like what you see, give me a call and let me show you how to get it for FREE!" or something like that! Stick in some recipe cards and the specials for that month or next month. I also have the mini-catalogs handy for someone who's really interested. If someone says they want to have a show, they get a current catalog, as long as I get all of their contact info!! Sometimes I hand out packets at craft shows, but sometimes they don't want to carry them around since they are heavy. Just make sure that everything you hand out has your info on it!!
