Just wanting to put something in the local newspaper about Pampered Chef. I'm trying to get new leads and thought that if any of you have done this before, maybe you can post or PM me what you have used in the past.
TIA
 
You didnt' ask for my recuriting one.... I will email that to you.!! :)
 
I would get the Merrill Ad Generator. They come out really nice.
 
Hey Deb, have you used it? Have you actually placed an ad? Have you gotten any responses? We have an itty bitty local paper that runs weekly that has about 8 pages that I've been thinking about. I think they call it a 2x2 ad and it's about the size of a business card for like $35 a week...I wonder if it's worth it...
 
I have used it and it is very useful to me.. I used the Merrill Ad Generator.....If you would like to see one PM me and I will email it to you.
 
I used the Ad Generator to place my ad in the booklet for an event I did last week.

The ads looks really nice and professional. As far as response, I have no idea because it was just last week.

Honestly, I would never pay for an ad. I don't think they're effective and they are not what our business is about.

I only placed mine b/c it was free with my booth space.
 
I noticed tha tthey finally put the HWC press release template up on CC. How do we use these?
 
Does the Merrill Ad genreator work for pictures and not pictures?? I would be interested if anyone has had a successful recruiting or hosting ad
 
Kim Low- I think you should make your goal more positive I WILL WALK IN JULY Not I want too More positive energy
 
Kathy,

I can email you the ad but you need to PM me your email address and I will do that tonight when I get home from work.
