I just signed up for Tasty Tidbits a couple months ago and so far I am very pleased with it! It takes the pressure off me to come up with something - and even if I tried to, I wouldn't be able to do something as nice as Joy does. And the great thing is that you can add anything you want to it before sending it out.

I think that having the newsletter is good for business because it keeps your name and PC in front of your customers on a regular basis. They feel like they are getting better service and personal attention from you and they'll be more likely to contact you when they need something. After I sent the first one I got an email from a lady who had been to a party a few months ago and she wanted to share that she used her spring-form pan and what a hit her cheesecake had been. She was very pleased with the product and wanted me to know about it - I thought that was pretty cool.

So now I add people to my distribution list after every show and my list is growing - it is just that many more people to be contacting and it is so easy to do...

If you decide to try Tasty Tidbits (or anyone else out there does) please tell Joy that Valori Strasma sent you...

Thanks and hope this helps!

I signed up for Tasty Tidbits a few months ago and I love it!!! The first month that I sent it out I received quite a few responses. I have booked several shows and even have some recruit leads from the newsletter. I believe it is well worth the money if you don't have the time to make up your own!

For those of us who are a little intimidated where is the web page for news letters?For those of us who are a little intimdated where is the web page for the news letters? Do you have to do anything to them or are they ready to send with your information on them when you get them?

Thanks,
PamG

NewsletterI get tasty tidbits each month and love it and all you have to do is put you own consultant information in. The website is tastytidbits.net (I think). For a small fee she will send it to you each month

I, as well, use Tasty Tidbits. I have been very pleased with the result and the fee is more then reasonable in my estimation($12 for 6 months or something along those lines). It used to take me at least a few hours to type, cut and paste my own newsletter. Although I really loved my newsletter...spending 10 minutes to alter TT is so worth it! I really love that you can make it your own.....in fact I call it Countertop Chat when it goes out to my customers because that has always been the name of my newsletter.

Anyway....I highly recommend Tasty Tidbits.

Have a Pampered Day!

I use Erika Soelberg's newsletter. I really like her format. It's fun and easy to use. Plus, she's a fellow PC consultant. She also has newsletters for Director's to send to their downline, such as a weekly "Monday Motivation" and a monthly director email that is for recognition and such.

Tasty Tidbits is awesome!! She is also a fellow consultant and Chef Success Member. She sends the newsletter with graphics and colors to you at the end of the month (July at the end of June) and you fill in your contact info and Top host section. Then you forward it to your contacts. I like how easy it is to type in my own news or promotions and delete whatever I want. They are very through and fun. I LOVE TASTY TIDBITS!!! I am not sure of the website put I saw it a couple posts up I think. For $2 a month it is SO ENTIRELY WORTH IT!

Donna,
What's the link to the Monday Motivation site?
Thanks.

 

[DZmom]

She doesn't have a site but paste a copy of one for you! Just use my name and she'll give me a discount.

**The copy that's pasted didn't include the pictures! I don't know why!

Thanks Teresa! I think I have been sending people to the .com instead of the .net! Oops!

Does anyone have the link for Erica's newsletter site to order from and look around at it?
I did a google search for her and didn't find it. Just want to compare with what is out there.

Thanks-
Kelly

At the bottom of the "Monday Motivation" it has her email address: [email protected]

It says you can contact her by email for subscription information...

Does the TT newsletter come as an attachment or part of the newsletter body?

 

[jwpamp]

I posted mine in this thead, you are welcome to use info from it for ideas! I can't see paying for services, so I just do the best I can.

I did subscribe to TT and I have to say I sent it out this morning and got 4 emails responding to it!

 

[gilliandanielle]

I have started printing out Tasty Tidbits and am going to mail them to my guests this month. Hopefully I will get a better response with mailing than e-mailing!

 

[AJPratt]

I would have to see how much it would cost to mail to all of my customers.
