Do you order things from catalogs?

**PrairieRose** · 03-30-2005, 01:01 PM

I'm thinking seriously about starting a business and was just wanting to test the waters here, although I know "we" may not be the best group to ask

Do you
1. Get lots of catalogs?
2. Order, even occaissionally?
3. Hate all catalogs?

Be honest with me, I'm a big girl I can take it.

I LOVE catalogues and do buy things from them, BUT, I also use them for inspiration and have recently saved mysef a bundle on a chopping block/waste bin combo, the catalogue one was £195.00 plus about £20 for postage ( extra heavy item) I made one from a kitchen trolley(cart) that was on sale for £39.00!!!!!!!!!!

Even if I don't switch that into $$ for you , you can see I saved a bundle!

So I would have to say in my case it would depend on what you were selling

If it had a Rose pattern then I might not be able to resist

I think catalogues are quite an expensive way to sell your wares. maybe a website would be cheaper so people can see what you have to offer.
I get a lot of catalogues and to be honest I look at them and then recycle them.

Good luck with your business!

I'll be doing a catalog/website and even auction type bus. . So you're input is very helpful, thanks!

I like catalogs, and if there is a good deal on something, or if it is a one-of-a-kind item, I order. I just love to "catalog shop".

if it's something i can't find elsewhere i am always tempthed to buy from catty's. the problem is i usually don't have the money to do so, so catty's end up being my "window shopping"

I love catalogs because I can take my time looking through them to decide on if the item is something I really want, (or need!). The reality is, I too, end up recycling them and ordering nothing-
