Avoiding Newsletter Mistakes: My Humbling Experience of Feeling an Inch Tall

[krzymomof4]

I can't believe it. The first time in 3 years! I copied a few things from the other July newsletters and added them to the one I was working on. I changed the info, or so I thought, and closed it out to work on it another time. I sent it out and looked at it afterward. It didn't save my info on it, so now it just looks like I forwarded someone else's newsletter. AGGG. So Linda, if someone contacts you from Indiana with their fav product, it is probably from my mess up. I re-emailed them and let them know of the mistake, but I still feel really stupid.

We've all done something we've wanted to kick ourselves for. Don't worry about it. By this time next week no one will remember.

Gee Leslie, THANKS!

Seriously, I made that mistake myself once too.....note I said once.....that's all it takes for you to remember to check, check, and then check again! I know exactly how you feel.

You can always mention in the next newsletter that one of the beauties of this business is that we all share and we don't each have to reinvent the wheel! Use it as a recruting tool.

Very good point, Beth! Make lemonade.

Thats a great idea Beth. I think I will put a note in next month's issue!

Something that I always do to double check myself is insert all of my info then forward a copy to me. Then I send out that copy to my customers.
They should be reading it like I created it all by myself. If someone does say, "Wow your newsletters are nice." Then I say something like... "I have a very creative person who creates them for me for a very small fee, that's a great benfit of being a Pampered Chef consultant, we all help each other."
