OK, I don't have a website any longer...so I am thinking this is not an issue. BUT, I figured someone here would know.

I have a host who wants to let her friends know on Facebook that she is having a Pampered Chef party. I assume this is OK.

Is she able to put my name, phone# and email address for out of town people to call/email me with orders?? Or just my name and phone#? Or just my first name and phone#?

I KNOW we can't link our website, but I wasn't sure how this would work for phone# and email addresses??
 
As far as I know, it is OK to do this.

No website link. (I was reported for a violation AFTER I took it off my FB page).
 
Almost all of my hosts do a FB invite - I have them give my phone # and email address, but no website address.

FB invites have been great for my shows! It's easy for me to interact with questions, encourage people to bring friends, and attendance seems to be higher for those who do FB invites!

EXCELLENT! Thanks. The host connects with a lot of people on FB and was hoping that we could do this. She has a lot of out-of-town friends that she feels would order (but since I don't have a wesite any longer) we were trying to figure a way for this to be easy for them. Especially since we are doing this as a FR for her cat shelter. :)
 
Hopefully you'll get orders without a website. There isn't a chance you can get it back in place before this starts? She could do an "FB event" but I was told by HO that you could not put your name out there on the web anywhere as a PC consultant because they could call HO and get all your info. Sounds crazy to me but just wanted to pass that along. She would be better off putting in her name and email as the contact. You could tell her to just forward the emails on to you.
