Are there any rules against advertising with another company at a home show, or otherwise?
 
Re: Rules??What specifically are you thinking of doing? I'm not sure I follow exactly what your question is...
 
Re: Rules??In the consultant agreement, there's a clause that we're not allowed to promote any other product at cooking shows or while we're representing PC.

Re: Rules??Well, I am thinking about selling Watkins Spices along with PC, and I also have a wedding name plaque business. I was wondering if I can make mention of either of these during a show. They would obviously be quite secondary and the most I'd probably do is use something like Watkins vanilla in a recipe and let people know I sell it,...and as to the name plaque thing, I'd like to set one out at wedding showers and let people know I sell them as well. Is there a way I could do this that would not go against the agreement??
 
Re: Rules??It is against the Policies and Procedures to do that.
You can sell them, but you aren't supposed to advertise your other DS ventures while you are demonstrating/representing PC.

Re: Rules??OK, thanks.
 
Re: Rules??We do have our own great line of spices and seasonings, I would promote those.
