I'm sure I got the following from someone else here but this is what I put on mine:

My Name

My hosts never pay full price

That looks good.

Just remember, there are very specific guidelines about use of the logo and tagline, so don't try to use them on non-Merrill cards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information should I include on my Pampered Chef business card?

Your business card should include your name, title (Pampered Chef Consultant), contact information (phone number and email), and your Pampered Chef website link. You may also want to include a professional photo and a brief tagline that reflects your business style.

How can I design an eye-catching business card?

Where can I print my business cards?

You can print your business cards at local print shops, office supply stores, or online printing services like Vistaprint, Moo, or Staples. Compare prices and options to find the best fit for your budget and needs.

How many business cards should I order?

As a new consultant, it's a good idea to start with a modest quantity, such as 100-250 cards. This allows you to have enough to distribute at events and gatherings without overcommitting financially. You can always reorder as your business grows.

Can I include a special offer or promotion on my business card?

Yes, including a special offer or promotion on your business card can be a great way to attract potential customers. Consider adding a discount code or a limited-time offer to encourage people to reach out to you or visit your website.
