I am trying to figure out what things I need to order for my business. What is the difference in the #2504 and 2504A catalogs. Should I order just the holiday catalogs or the regular ones? I want to make up some little cute packets to hand out at my son's school. I don't know what to include in them. Help me please. Thanks. Will I be wasting money by giving away my catalogs?

I think the 2504A is for when you order 10 or more. (You get the cheaper price when you order more)


As far as the packets & whether to include the catalog or not, I hope someone else can answer this. That has also been a question of mine. At my children's school, in the copy room, there is a table where there arecatalogs, samples, etc. from other companies & I was thinking of adding Arbonne to it. I'm just not sure what types of samples, etc.Edited by: sharondz

smileys/smiley1.gifno no do not add catalogs i always did that and lost more money, what you could do is flyers and samples i like the rejuvenating cream,shampoo samples, maybe from the new products like the mandarinin people like scents, and also add on there if you are doing the school thing prices cause if you don't give them examples they will say too $ so example like the basic set which is 104 or 106 i think you get for 66 stuff like that and flyers where they can pass them out to parents as well i hope that helps

I thought for how they looked it was well worth the extra money. I did the Kit with 1,000 Lables, 1,000 cards and the stamp for 44.95 with shipping it was 51.95. I started in Jan and I am almost out of cards. I think they look so good. I think I am going to add my pic next time. You can email them at HLMprinting@aol.com


Just my thoughts.. Kim

You can make some samples from the sea salt and manadarin scrubs by buying small pots from Walmart or small paint pots from a craft store.

NO, don't do that! That's against policy, you CANNOT repackage product!


As for the cards from HLM, it's a great price considering you get the gold labels and the inker too! If you do get something from Vista (or elsewhere) make sure you get it approved from compliance first.

I heard someone mention once about making a sashe(sp?) of the bath salts also. Havent' tried it yet but it all sounds like a good idea to me, espcially with the holiday stuff coming out.

When the REsults Approach came out they specifically said to NOT repackage products. I used to put RE9 night cream into small containers for sampling, as MANY did- but home office does not want us to do that anymore, I'm sure their views on the holiday lines aren't any different. Please check with your uplines or email home office, just trying to look out for you all, I know I don't do anything even remotely questionable as I don't want to jeopardize my good-standing with the company. Just my 2 cents! Edited by: cassandra
