What are some creative ideas for using the new holiday mini catalog?

[queenjean]

Hey!

Does anyone have any great ideas for using the new holiday mini catalog? I mean besides sending them to preferred customers and hosts. Let's brainstorm here. Remember from now on they are shipped with each customer's order.

Use them as invitations to shows. Put in a little slip of paper (1/4 sheet) with the info, then tape them closed and mail. It gives everyone some ideas and even those who can't attend are more likely to order something.

I'm throwing them out with the bags of candy, business card, coupon & recipe at our Homecoming parade on Sat. (the mini catalogs will be thrown randomly) we've prepared over 350 bags of candy & I didn't order enarly that many I'd rather they have a full catalog. I printed a mini flyer from the files here that says Have a Pampered Holiday.

THat's exactly how I've been doing my invites! (I'm going to start a new thread)
If you're sending them not as invites, but to preferred customers, make sure to follow up

I don't like that the holiday catalogs do not have room for us to stamp them with our info---so I just ordered lots of the NEW product ones to pass out at my craft shows in the next month

Hmmm....I like the idea of putting the Holiday Minis in the Halloween bags when kids come to the door!

I also like the idea of putting them in the Halloween bags especially since we will be moving to a new area. So it will kind of be my intro to the new neighborhood. Just praying that yes, the house will be ready and I will be moved by then. We have been working on a remodel job since August... bathroom hopefully finished this week and then the Kitchen.

I like this Halloween candy idea too! I wish I'd thought of it before I did my supply order this month

I think I had 50-60 kids last year. I'm not sure I want to include one in each bag though as many kids are in the same family. What do you all think about having "adult" bags that have candy and the mini in it? I might be able to get away with only the 25 I have on hand that way. Honestly, I wonder if including them in the kids' bags they would just get thrown out, but handing a bag to the adults with them with this stapled to the outside might get more notice....

The holiday catalogs have a place on the back for your consultant info.

Well, the ones I just got there is no room for my stamp. Plus my stanper is red so the info gets lost on this catalog. I think I may have to print labels so the info will stand out.

I'm going to do labels too. I used my stamp on the fall minis and the postmark went over part of it.

I realized that the ones that come with a show order have a different back than the ones we can order. The ones we order have a place for our stamp and an address/stamp. The ones included with the orders have a whole picture on the back and a thing encouraging them to host a show or buy their gifts with PC! Yay!

I print labels with my info, and slap them on the back of the catalog. I carry several in my purse wherever I go. When someone asks me about PC (I am, of course, a walking billboard most days), I hand them a mini-catalog instead of a business card. It's less likely to get lost in someone's purse or car. I also ask for their name and number so I can follow up with them.

I gave them out last year when I took my boys Trick or Treating - I handed a mini to the parent at each home...got me nuthin'
