Alternative Sources for Promotional Items for Your Pampered Chef Business

[KateD]

I am a new consultant looking for sources other than Merrill to get some promotional items for my Pampered Chef business. I know they must be out there - please point me in the right direction!

Don't get me wrong - I am quite clear that Merrill is our only licensed vendor. I am not looking for places that sell PC logoed items "under the table". What I am looking for are sources for things that aren't PC specific, but still quite handy.

One specific example - I missed out on the ability to get a TPC catalog tote. Drat! But there must be somewhere to get a non-branded bag with a catalog window I figured I could sew my own - I'm quite adept - but I would really rather buy one!

Whether they have catalog totes or not, where do you like to get your supplies?

(PS- can you tell that one of my things I need to work on is talking less )

Catalog totes are available on supply order.

Well that solves that problem I had just assumed they were Merrill... and my mama always told me about assumtions...Thank you tons!

You can get lots of cute printed stuff at Vista Print, usually for super cheap, but you can't use the PC logo.

Hi Kate,
Here are a couple of places that I buy things from. The Booster has great stickers. They are not specific to pampered chef, but they have a lot of things to chose from. I really love them. I use a lot of stickers on my folders and envelopes.

I hope that helps....

Sticking to Business - Home
www.thebooster.com

There are SOOOOO many of those places on the internet! Search for "home party supplies" and you'll get a bunch of them. But the 2 previously mentioned (The Booster and Sticking to Business) both have really nice things.

Go to homepartyplannetwork.com and it has lots of resources. Word of advice though...don't go overboard. i've done it before getting all the cute stuff and ended up spending too much $. I've learned PC has given us great material to work with and I try to stick to that.

Thanks for posting these sites. I love the stickers on these sites. I might have to hind the credit card.

Hi. Looking for cool buttons, nothing too large but something other than the Help Whip Cancer ones. Any ideas? Oh I like cute ones but also classic ones that I could wear on my dinner jacket out some where. I checked the sites listed above and nothing jumped out at me.

THANKS
