Re: CraigslistI do not believe we are allowed to post anything on craigslist. Fundraisers though do have some different rules. You can allow the group to post a link to your PWS on their site. When you set up the show on your PWS there is a form on the right you fill out.

You can only do this after getting approval from HO. Fill out the form first and make sure it's okay before telling the group they can post your PWS.

You can NOT put it on craigslist.
 
Re: CraigslistFrom past checking with HO, your not allowed to post your website. I posted a Holiday Bizarre with stating things would be offered by your Pampered Chef Consultant but I didn't put the link to my website just advertised where the event was taking place.

They do make special allowances for fundraisers, but you have to ask permission first.
 
Re: CraigslistFrom talking to PC in the past it appears you can only list it on the website of the actual organization. It has to be approved by HO even then.
