Hi,

I got an idea, when I was paging through our local paper. They always have an area where people can submit recipes :) each week to be posted and I want to send information to them about PC and hosting a show. Obviously, they love to cook and thought it was a great wait to see about generating business.

Does anyone have a flyer they use for something like this or have any suggestions for me?

Thanks!
 
Maybe you can submit one of your favorite PC recipes to the paper and at the bottom of the recipe state that if anyone is interested in knowing more about pampered chef recipes and products to call you at xxx-xxxx. If its free to submit the recipe might as well go for it!
 
I thinkYou would have to include all of the copyright information and give PC and the specific cookbook credit.
