Feel free to plagerize.....heaven knows, I shamelessly copied your artichoke and HWC cards!
 
How do you get the registered trademark symbol to come up after you type "The Pampered Chef" I've been online trying to order some business cards and I can't figure out how to do it. Help!
 
Very Nice I like them! :chef:
 
I am a newbie so probably quite naive, but I thought the only business cards we were supposed to use were the ones through Merrill? If we can get them elsewhere please fill me in. Thanks.

On Vista Print in the Advanced Editing there is a button to click for "special Characters"
 
We can use others, but we can't use the logo or tagline (Discover...), and are supposed to use the registered trademark symbol (®) after The Pampered Chef. You still want to keep them professional, too - no risque pictures or swearing. To make the ®, there's a button on VistaPrint's site for special characters.

The only official vendor is Merril

We can get cards done wherever we want but there are strict guidelines. Check out the advertising guidelines in the Policies and Porcedures available online at CC.
 
Great minds Ann!

I think I'm gonna Steal.... um borrow it.... Vista print has another freebie deal on premium cards thru tomorrow!
 
Thanks, I finally got it figured out. Sometimes I just overthink things:)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I include on my business cards for showers and registries?

Your business cards should include your name, title (e.g., Pampered Chef Consultant), contact information (phone number, email), and a link to your personal website or social media. You might also want to include a brief tagline about your services or a special offer for new customers.

How can I design an eye-catching business card for my Pampered Chef business?

Is it beneficial to hand out business cards at bridal showers or baby showers?

Yes, handing out business cards at bridal or baby showers can be very beneficial. These events often gather a group of potential customers who may be interested in your products or hosting a Pampered Chef party. It’s a great way to network and increase your visibility.

How many business cards should I bring to a shower or registry event?

It's a good idea to bring at least 20-30 business cards to a shower or registry event. This ensures that you have enough to distribute to guests, and it allows for some extra in case of unexpected attendees or opportunities to connect.

Can I include a special offer on my business cards for showers and registries?

Absolutely! Including a special offer, such as a discount or a free gift with purchase, can entice potential customers to reach out to you. Make sure the offer is clear and has an expiration date to encourage prompt action.
