Can You Blog About Cooking Without Mentioning Pampered Chef

[PampChefJoy]

and still give the link to your customers? I think it would go a long way to build rapport and trust with your customers if they read daily adventures in cooking, or something like that.... you know, like tips and recipes you're trying out and stuff... and you wouldn't have to mention being a consultant at all, but you can say the kinds of tools you're using... is that legal?

I'm not trying to start anything -- I really am just thinking of it from a marketing standpoint. I think as consumers, we'd feel more connected with someone by reading their blog.... it would only help to sell more products for PC, wouldn't it?

I don't know but it would ne nice to know. But then it may be hard to control that PC is not mentioned. I have never blogged and have been thinking more about it lately, so, I do not know how it works as far as responses and things.

That's a good question Joy and I do like your thinking. Makes sense, but it could be a fine line! I'm sure someone here has some wise words!

I think it would be hard to not say anything about PC if you are doing it.

I mention PC (sorta) on my blog, but that's not the primary purpose for it. And I'm really bad at keeping it updated, too.

I have seen where people put a featured recipe on their blog and type out the recipe the way it states to do it.

I would think without mentioning PC it would be ok? Just the products themselves mentioned, like use the food chopper to chop the onions type of thing or do we have to publish it's a "PC recipe"???? I guess checking with HO would be the best answer!

If you're republishing a PC recipe, you're supposed to get permission from HO. It's implied for PWS, but we're not supposed to post them elsewhere, including here. Sites like Joyce's Fine Cooking should not post PC recipes, either, since that is a violation of the copyright.
