They look great. One thing is that I think you need to add "The" before Pampered (since that is the company name) and a registration mark after "Chef". I like your recruiting part too, will have people asking questions.
 
I love it Paulette! One thing, is it missing the "S" in Fundraisers? It's so small that I'm not sure. Also, I might put the word "a" in "What could an extra $100 a week do for you?" to make it flow better, but that may just be how I read it. It looks great though. I love the line about solving mealtime dilemmas, very cute!
 
WOW! Those are great... I really love the "solving meal time..." line! How great is that? I would switch the placement of that line with your Ind Con line... when I first looked at it, I missed the "solving" line - yes, I know it is small in the pic, but I also think it would be easier to miss because it is sandwiched between the two bold, bigger font lines. Make sense?

And I agree with wadesgirl, I would also change your title like to "Independent Consultant, The Pampered Chef(r)"

Other than that... I'm impressed... I think I'm gonna stea.... um... borrow the "solving" line. I just love it!!! Great job!
 
I love the wording on your card and the $100 reference too...but I may go with '$100 a night' versus 'a week. :)

Did you make your card on Vista?

As for My Personal tag line I did not want to put it after the Pamperd Chef part since it's not PC's line it's mine.
I have been trying to come up with something for myself for years! I like it because people can see that I have been doing this a while and am not a "fly by night" Consultant.

I have not done a final proof read but thanks for all the tips.

I just dbl checked POP and I will change it to ind. Cons For TPC

Thanks!
 
Did you edit it for us to see on here? (since your website ends with the / omitting your name?)

On the $100 A week I was trying to apeal to the Busy people who may ask "so how can I do that? My answer will be do 1 show a week (or something catchier... I'm still working on that part.)

<giggle>Personally, I like the "week" not "night" wording. "An Night" makes me think of a "girl of the night" instead of a consultant. I had a really weird dream last night and now my thoughts are kinda wild this AM.:rolleyes:

good point....and i didn't think about the $100 a night conotation (more if your're associated with the Emporer's Club:eek: )...maybe a '$100 a show'

my favorite part of the card is your tag line
 
oh, wait. "a $100 a show" might be just as bad!

Do any of you put stuff on the back of your card?
 
I'm glad I'm not the only one with a warped mind this AM!

I copied Ann's idea and put a recipe on the back on my primary card. On the back of my Wedding Registry and Bridal Shower card, I listed the benefits.

I like it! Very cute.

I really like the idea of the recipe on the back. Has anyone found some good small ones that will fit on a business card?
 
Great job! BTW... where did you get the chef hat/whisk pic?

The garlic bites or cinnamon bites works well. I have an artichoke salsa on the back of my cards.
 
okay, I'm really tired, so I could be quite wrong - but isn't fundraiser one word? :confused:

Other than that - they look fantastic! :love: :D
 
Thanks Ann
