How to Use Old Catalogs: Ideas and Tips

[LBurke]

I can't seem to find a thread on this, although I'm sure there is one... any ideas on what to do with all my old S/S catalogs?
I found one thread that listed passing them out at fairs or offices, but I just seem to deal with alot of people who won't get that they're old. Maybe I've just been hanging out with my husband's "people are stupid" attitude too long.
Thanks!

When I have old ones, I put a BIG label on the front - the 6 to a page shipping labels - with the following poem:

Though the date on this catalog may be old
Just look inside and you'll be sold.
Many fine products you will see.
Call me to learn how to get some free.
If extra income is what you need,
I can help you to succeed.

I saw that poem on the other post I found and LOVE it cause it ties in hosting and recruiting... I may try that! I have an expo coming up in the middle of September and would love to get them out of my catalog bin to make room for the new fall ones... maybe tuck a mini catalog inside or a note to check my website for updated products and prices.

Oh yeah, Thanks Ann!!!!

You're welcome. I've found that using a very large sticker and putting it right in the center of the cover is most effective. Don't forget to put a sticker on the back cover with the recruiting phone number.
