Hi!
I'm really interested in pushing my business to the limit. I'm working it full time now and want to know if anyone has any good examples of ads that they have ran to recruit? I know Pampered Chef has guidelines on wording and all. Just want to make sure I'm following all of them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
:eek:
 
The best option, to stay within the guidelines, is to use Merrill's Ad Generator. It's $2.99 per month, but you can create your ads, save the PDFs and cancel your membership. This way you'll also be able to use the official logo and tag line.
 
Yes, the Merrill Generated Ads are the only approved formats. And as long as you are not talking to one of the top 100 newspapers (where HO already advertises), then you are good to go! :D

How does that ad generator work? Sounds silly never knew it was there.

They have 14 different pre-designed ads of various sizes and themes (recruiting theme, booking theme, general, etc).

You select the one(s) you want, and edit your contact details, choose a picture if available for that particular theme, etc. Then add to cart. You follow instructions to complete the order- and they build your ads. Then you go in later (usually 15-30 minutes) and download your ad as a file/jpg, etc.

And from my own experience, I purchased access to the generator a few YEARS ago, and I still have access. :)
 
The ad generators are very professional and are well worth the little they charge but you do not have to use them. You can write your own ads as long as you follow PCs guidelines (no logo, don't misrepresent yourself as the pampered chef, etc).

So I purchased the subscription. Now how/where do I build the ads? When i click "ad generator subscription" it just says "your current subscription is valid through 1/16/2012" but doesn't provide a link or anything to build the ads.EDIT: Nevermind!! It's there now, it took 10 minutes to put up the Ad Generator access.
