Difference Between Posting on Blog Vs E-Mail/Newsletter

[noelskitchen]

Would there be a problem posting our pc newsletter on a blog? Especially if we want our customers to keep up to date on specials, recipes, etc. Or refer back to them if need be. Our newsletters have a pc recipe on them so with all this trademark stuff it's really confusing.

Since a blog is online and you would be referring to yourself as with PC, I'm guessing it would violate policy. Those who know the details better will correct me if I'm wrong.

I think it is that the blog is available for everyone to see it on the internet where your newletter only goes to people you send it to & isn't able to be found by someone searching the internet.

No, you can't do that. You CAN have your personal website and post that information there. That's what I do. My newsletter really just is full of short descriptions and teasers so that they can go to my website for more info. Then they can check out the outlet while they are there too.

I thought we werent supposed to post our personal website on our blog.

We're not. No PWS, or even stating that we're a consultant. That's very clear in the policies.

This is why we have a PWS! Customers can find out about anything you want them to know from there. PC does all the workfor us as far as specials and theme shows not to mention recruiting promos. All it takes is a few clicks to update it every month.

from the policies manual... pg 24 "Internet/Web: Additional Guidelines
Consultants and Above
Other than signing up for a Pampered Chef® Personal Web
Site or approved vendor sites, do not list the company name
when filling out personal profiles on the Internet.

You may set up a chat room or e-mail newsgroup ONLY to
communicate solely with other Pampered Chef® Consultants
about the business. Please do not mention, advertise or
promote your Pampered Chef® business on any chat
rooms, other than those created for communicating with
other Consultants.

Other than through your Pampered Chef® Personal Web
Site, you may not promote or advertise your business on any
other Web site, Internet directory, search engine, etc"

Ann That is exactly what I thought but the post above mine made it sound like you can post on blogs. And I just wanted to clear it up.

It seems pretty interesting that when you type Pampered Chef or anthing refering to PC other things come up, even posts on Chef Success come up. It kind of defeats the purpose of the policy if all outsiders can see things about PC and not go to the PC website.
