I have just found out that I will be doing a booth this spring at a local event. This is a big sales event that occurs in the area and they have a few vendors with booths also. I'm excited! YEAH!

One of their options besides a booth, is to have a vendor/sponsor ad in their email and/or postcard. I know that I cannot include my PWS address, but I am unclear after reviewing the Policies whether I can include a vendor/sponsor ad that would have my name/phone/email and the logo. Anyone with experience in this?

Thanks!
 
You can do something using one of the ads from the Ad Generator on Merrill. Those have pre-approved text and graphics.
 
As an Independent Consultant for a direct sales company, it is important to follow the policies and guidelines set by the company. In this situation, it would be best to reach out to your upline or the company's compliance department for clarification on what is allowed in terms of advertising and promotion at events.In general, it is usually acceptable to have your name, phone number, and email on promotional materials, as long as it is not accompanied by your PWS address or any other information that would lead customers to purchase directly from you instead of through the company's website. However, it is always best to double check with the company to ensure you are following their policies correctly.Additionally, if you are interested in including your logo on the vendor/sponsor ad, it would be best to get approval from the company before doing so. This ensures that the logo is used correctly and in line with the company's branding guidelines.Ultimately, it is always best to err on the side of caution and get clarification directly from the company to avoid any potential issues. Good luck with your booth and happy selling!
