What Do You Give With You Cattys at Shows?

[AlowayFamily]

What do you give with your cattys at shows?I have been doing the same thing for a while, and I think it' time to change. I have been giving the catty, order form, wish list, next few months specials and the recruiting brochure. I just slip them into the catty.

What do you include and do you use a folder, notebook or something else?

I use dollar store clipboards....a catty, an order form and drawing slip. I lay them all in a line in a central location and let people pick them up....

I use a folder like the consultant who recruited me. I just put these together, and I have kind of a lot, so I'm seeing how it goes. Left side has a couple of recipes they can take, recruiting flyer, month's specials, and a form (from here!) that gives an example of how much you can save as a hostess. Right side has my business card (in the cut out for it) wish list, catalog, order form, and pen.

I would also love to hear what other consultants use!

I don't give an order form until the very end. I have, in order:a contact card (3 x 5) with my info
the guest special
recruiting flyer (currently the Everyone Deserves to Be Pampered one from here)
blank 1/2 sheet for notes
catalog
survey/drawing sheet

I use file folders and put PC label on the tabs and sticker with all my info(the dame one I use on the back of the cattys) I tell them to keep the folder to hold all their receipts in so they can always find them, I put in an order form drawing slip Cancer brochure and a recipe card. they can keep it all.

I use homemade lap boards (3 ring binder cut in 2). I use the clear cover for whatever I want to focus on...usually recruiting but add gift sets @ Christmas time. In the pocket I place an order form, catalog, recipe card, your life your way brochure, door prize slip. I have PC logo sticker & "I love referrals" sticker on pocket. I started out using folders but they were too easy to get messed up. Guests do NOT take care of your stuff. Then I tried the clipboards but they were too bulky. The lap boards work for me.

I have not tried lapboards yet, do you think they make a big difference? Do you use both sides of the cut up notebook, or just the front cover? I like the idea of my guests having something to write on when they do their order.

I use the front and back from a 3-ring binder. I make sure they're the ones with pockets front & back. I've had a lot of positive comments on them. Plus, it's easier for people to fill out paperwork with a firm surface to write on.

What is this? I tried searching for it but couldn't find it. I am looking to put some other things in with my catalogs too.

Type in "Everyone" in the file search box and a PDF comes up with it.

My director has started doing this and I am trying it too....

Bought a box of 100 plain manilla folders, stamped the front with my info, and I put a catalog, order form, drawing slip, and wish list in there. I then tell the guests to keep the folder to store their receipts in, and it has my info right on the front.

I keep it simple. I find if I give them too much stuff, they're completely overwhelmed and buy a mini serving spatula and call it a day.

I use the lapboards from Merrill and put a catalog and order form in the 1/2 pocket, and a magnetic business card in the small bus. card pocket. I put the current month's guest special in the full pocket on the back. I hand them out in the beginning, and tell them they can have everything in the lapboard, I just need the lapboards and pens back for my next shows.

I make sure they know the business card is magnetized so they can put it on their fridge, and when they're making a recipe and realize they need a tool, they can call me on the spot. I point out the guest special on the back and then pass it around if possible.

I hand out the drawing slips after the recipe is finished so we can do the drawing and I can explain the order form. Then I take orders.

I used to use folders filled with everything on earth, but found they were getting trashed and it was too much work to fill them every time. This makes it simpler - I just fill the catalogs, order forms and bus. cards, and only print the guest special. All of the other flyers are in my tri-fold binder that I put on display and discuss throughout the show. Saves time and money, which is always good!

That's a neat idea! I have a bunch of old PC letter-sized envelopes from my old director who quit the business, maybe I'll use those at checkout to put their receipt into with any other handouts they end up taking. Thanks!
