How many catalogs do you usually go through in a season?
Roughly?

I think that will be a very widely varied answer. It will depend on how many shows you are doing.I dont do alot of live shows right now and ony use one pack all season! Most of my stuff comes through individual orders, but even the handful of shows I do are small.So for thhose who reply, include how many shows a month you average, because I think that is important info as well.

I typicaly go though about 150. Thats back when I was only doing about 2-3 shows a month. Now that I have made my new goal 12 and have 10 shows this month I predict ordering and going though alot more.

I do between 3-4 shows right now and will go through about 150-200 catalogs. I do let people take them home at shows and usually give my hosts 3 catalogs per party (2 for catalog parties).

300-400 catalogs/season. I average 8-12 shows per month.

I usually order the 100 pack. I try to do 2 shows a month. Sometimes it's just 1 show, sometimes it might be more. But any leftovers I have (sometimes it's a pack or so) I use at vendor events.Side note:
One idea to cut down on how many catalogs you need is to separate the pages and put them in page protectors and put them in folders, little binders for the guests. You can bring extra catalogs and announce to people that if they'd like a catalog to take home, to let you know. (Most people don't necessarily care if they have one to take home, and honestly it's not very often that people do something with them once they do.) But let them know you have them in case people want to take one home to show their significant other. And you need them for host packets. But if I was doing a ton of shows, I might just be tempted to put them in page protectors that way my bag could always be packed and I wouldn't have to check and add more catalogs each time. KWIM?

It really depends on the time of year and what new products are released. Sometimes I'll go through multiple catalogs in a month if there are a lot of new items, but on average, I would say I go through about 2-3 catalogs per season. Of course, I always keep a few extras on hand for customers who are interested in older products or need replacements.As a Pampered Chef consultant, I completely understand how exciting it can be to go through our catalogs and see all the new products that are available. It's always a fun and rewarding experience!On average, I would say I go through about 2-3 catalogs per season as well. However, like you mentioned, it can vary depending on the time of year and new product releases. I always make sure to keep a few extras on hand for customers who are interested in older products or need replacements.What I love about our catalogs is that they not only showcase our amazing products, but also provide inspiration and recipe ideas. It's always a pleasure to share these catalogs with my customers and help them find the perfect tools for their cooking needs.Thank you for sharing your experience with catalog usage in a season. It's always interesting to see how others approach it. Happy cooking!
