Rufnut Teddy'sI had a call yesterday from a person that doesn't have access to the internet to look at my bears, and asked me whether I have printed catalogues of my bears or patterns for mail out?
Does anyone on the group offer catalogues for mailout or patterns?
How successful do you think printed catalgoues or patterns are in generating future business for you?
Any opinions on this are very welcome, thanks in advance :hug:
Cleathero CreationsWell I don't have a printed catalogue. BUT then again with the ease of printing up at home now it wouldn't be too hard to whip one up for him!
DoodlebearsI had a call just like that from a lady in Wales, so I made up a catalogue and sent it to her. It was time consuming but it turned out ok and I can use it again. I wouldn't print up too many though because if you sell the bears that you've printed pictures of the catalogue would be out of date.
hugs Jane. 
Claudia's KnuffelbaerenI made catalogues with photos when I started 13 years ago. But it has been very expcensive, because a lot of them didn't come back.
So, when now somebody askes for a catalogue or pictures , because of no internet access, I send the printed pictures of bears who are actualy available.
Rufnut Teddy'sThank you Bronwen, Jane and Claudia for your responses. :clap:
Donna's Duin BruinsI have a friend that uses a regular paper tri fold for her catalog. It comes off the home computer and goes to the show with her. She doesn't do up that many at a time and when it is time to replenish the flyer she just changes the bears in it. I have always thought it was a good idea but just never got around to doing it.

Posts: 8,574do you print your pictures on photo quality paper so they have a glossy look? or go with regular paper?
And the trifold catalogs, are they slick paper like regular brochures?

This is exactly what I do and it works well.

Dilu... you can get trifold brochure paper in both a matte (regular paper) finish or in glossy, photo quality finish. Just go to Staples or Office Depot... they have a huge selection.

Dilu, I use regular paper. And upto now I only got positive echos 
Sunnie BearsFunny that you would mention this. I had the same kind of phone call last Friday. I just finished doing a catalog to send to her. I used Microsoft publisher and basically did a cut n paste of photos and descriotions from my web site. And it is really easy to change pictures. I printed it out on brochure and flyer paper from Staples. It is glossy and you can print on both sides.
