Received Too Many Catalogs - Anyone Else Had This Happen?

[mmilus]

I have a host who received her order today and there was a packet of at least 15-20 full catalogs in it - I didn't take time to count them. She gave them to me along with another customer's order that I was delivering. Anyone else had this happen? Maybe they printed way too many of this season's catalogs. Marci

Yes there was an email stating they would be doing this for the month of January maybe even February can't remember if they were going to do it just one month or two.

Giving HOSTS FULL catalogs??? Send them to consultants if they have that problem, not a host. Makes no sense. Guess I missed that memo.

I thought the same thing. I can just see one of my customers getting one from the host with their products and giving it to someone thinking they were passing my info along.

The info was in a Tuesday newsletter. They are sending them to the hosts and they don't have any of our contact info on them. They said they had extra so they would be doing that until around 2/15/13. Why not sell them to the consultants at a reduced rate if they have that many extra. I've received about 30 of them from hosts this month.

That has to be very confusing and look so unprofessional to the hosts.

We should email HO about that!! So dumb.
I can see sending them ONE, but not more than that.

It said they would be sending one per order. I guess it pays to make sure the host has the receipts and your business card to put in each one - especially this month. I guess they are thinking they are getting rid of them without having to pay extra shipping since the host is already getting a box. I have only had a couple shows in January but I am making sure to have them sent to me so I can snatch the catalogs and sticker them myself.

I think it's nice and all, but would prefer our consultant info be on them first. I'll have to mail out some stickers to my hosts I guess.

I've been mailing contact stickers with the outside order receipts. My hosts have been great about putting on the stickers and adding a catalog to each bag.
