I have done some major soul-searching and decided that PC is no longer what I wish to pursue. Unfortunately, I just spent a lot of money on paperwork and have an abundance of extra products. Does anyone have any advice on what to do with catalogs, mini-catalogs, and various other brochures? My husband is upset enough that we've invested money and so I need to find a way to make some of it back. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you
 
Sell to your clustermates or here in the Marketplace.
 
try the Marketplace section.
you cannot post product items that are currently in the catalog, but you can send an email or PM to the people interested in those items.
 
Can you contact your recruiter or director? I'd get the word out and offer it to those in your cluster first. Cause then you don't have to worry about shipping and getting it all boxed up and to the post office.You can make a post here in the Marketplace section and list what you have. You just can't list current products that are sold in the catalog. Some people make a list and have people PM them if they want to see it.
 
for sharing your decision with us. I understand how difficult it can be to change course, especially when there is a financial investment involved. Have you considered reaching out to your PC team or upline for support and guidance? They may have some ideas or resources for selling your extra products and materials. Additionally, you could try hosting a clearance sale or offering special deals to your friends, family, and social media contacts. You could also consider donating some of your materials to local organizations or schools for fundraising purposes. Whatever you decide, I wish you the best of luck and hope you are able to recoup some of your investment.
