The first step in getting your product listed in a catalog is to locate the catalog that best matches your product. Then get a sample of that catalog to confirm that it is a good fit for your product. Next contact the corporate office for the catalog and ask to speak to the merchandising department or head buyer.

It has a flip top so if you have no pockets or purse, you can still store your cell phone or coins.
