Me either!!! What the heck!? I have a gal who wants to order 30 bar boards/knife green sets from the outlet!!! Grrrrr!!!
 
Mine's down too....it's been flaky all day- so has CC...timing out or resetting.-ok, now it's up. They are obviously having problems- it just keeps bouncing (both sites).
 
My actual PWS was working but the PWS assistant was being very tempermental earlier today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did our newsletter link break the PWS?

If your newsletter link is not directing customers to your Personal Website (PWS), it could be due to a few reasons such as a broken link, incorrect URL, or changes in the website structure. Double-check the link provided in the newsletter to ensure it matches your PWS URL.

How can I check if my PWS link is working?

You can test your PWS link by clicking on it yourself or copying and pasting it into a browser. If it redirects you to your Pampered Chef website without issues, then the link is functioning properly.

What should I do if the link is broken?

If you find that the link is broken, you should update the newsletter with the correct PWS link. Additionally, consider sending a follow-up message to your customers with the corrected link to ensure they can access your site.

Could the issue be on Pampered Chef's end?

While it's rare, there could be temporary issues on Pampered Chef's end that affect the functionality of PWS links. Check Pampered Chef's official communication channels for any announcements regarding website maintenance or outages.

How can I prevent link issues in future newsletters?

To prevent link issues in future newsletters, always test your links before sending them out. Consider using a URL shortener to create a cleaner link, and keep a backup of your PWS URL for easy access.
