Check your catalogs.....the company has reported some catalog page numbers are out of sequence.....please check yours and if you have these, contact the Home Office and they'll replace them.

I'm not home to check... but if it's just the page #s I'm not too worried about it..
 
I checked my catalogs and they are fine. I am glad because I just labeled a bunch of them last week!
 
Is it just the order of the page numbers and nothing else? If so, unless you do a catalog walh through it will not affect anything that much.
 
Do you happen to know which pages - to make it easier to check all 125 I have sitting here? (not counting the ones already out in host packets!)

I don't... my first box is almost gone with catalog show and hostess packets.. I've not opened my 2nd box yet...
 
Are they missing pages or just out of sequence?
 
That's not that big of a deal. It will be a pain during a show, but not worth getting any panties twisted.

Definitely check them. I just recieved 100 & 45 are misprinted. Not just page numbers...but added pages in wrong place and upside-down. I even had one catalog that was cut shorter than the others. I started putting labels on before I noticed. ugggh!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are some catalog page numbers out of sequence?

Catalog page numbers may appear out of sequence due to various reasons, such as updates in product offerings, changes in layout, or the inclusion of promotional pages that are not numbered consecutively. This is a common practice to ensure that the catalog remains user-friendly and highlights important products or promotions.

Does the out-of-sequence numbering affect product availability?

No, the out-of-sequence numbering does not affect product availability. All products listed in the catalog are available for order, regardless of their page number. The numbering is primarily for organizational purposes and does not indicate stock status.

How can I find a specific product if the page numbers are out of order?

If you're looking for a specific product, you can use the index or table of contents at the beginning of the catalog. This section typically lists products alongside their corresponding page numbers, making it easier to locate items even if the pages are not in sequential order.

Are there any benefits to having out-of-sequence page numbers?

Yes, having out-of-sequence page numbers can enhance the catalog's design and functionality. It allows for flexibility in showcasing seasonal promotions, new products, or special collections without disrupting the overall flow of the catalog. This approach can also draw attention to key items that the company wants to highlight.

Will future catalogs also have out-of-sequence page numbers?

Future catalogs may continue to use out-of-sequence page numbers, especially if it helps improve the user experience or aligns with marketing strategies. Each catalog is designed with specific goals in mind, and the numbering system may evolve based on customer feedback and product changes.
