Lanyards With "Pampered Chef" on Them

Click For Summary
A discussion emerged about creating custom lanyards featuring "The Pampered Chef" for team members and events, with initial interest in a bulk order to reduce costs. Participants expressed varying levels of interest, with some wanting multiple lanyards but raised concerns about potential trademark issues with using the brand name. It was noted that promotional items like lanyards are typically exclusive to a specific vendor, Merrill, which complicates independent orders. Despite enthusiasm for the idea, many participants agreed on the importance of checking with corporate to ensure compliance with branding policies. The conversation concluded with a suggestion to collectively request more promotional items from the company to better meet consultant needs.

I was intrigued by a post asking for a Pampered Chef lanyard. I did find a few places where I could get lanyards made with "The Pampered Chef (and R symbol) " printed on them. The highest price I have seen is $3 each however I would have to purchase at least 100. I don't have an extra $300 laying around, but I would be happy to put these together if enough of us want them. Heck, get some for your team for NC or even for an incentive!So, I need to know who is interested and how many you would want. Just reply here, please don't PM me!
 
Hey, I'm glad someone knows how to get things done!! I would take probably between 5 and 10. I would really like to have one for myself and I'd get one for my director and her director at least! Thanks for being so interested!

Amanda - how many?
 
Probably 3. Depending on price, I might take more. At the $3 price it would be 3 though. And color isn't really a big deal to me.

Black with White Embroidery or Cranberry with White Embroidery would probably stand out best; however, I am not going to be very picky!
 
Yeah, I think something like that would stand out best!

I'm not sure if it would be embroidered or silk screened. If we can get it embroidered for that price, that is what I'll do. I mainly wanted to see if it was going to be worth my time to look into it more!
 
Either way is okay with me. :) Silk screened would probably be fine too. Thanks for thinking about doing this! I looked up personalized laynyards online after I saw it it being discussed but didn't know who'd have the best quality and stuff. I do think I may have seen some that were a $1 something each but then again not sure what the quality is like. I'm excited! Hope this comes together! Thanks!
God bless,
Amanda

Well, either is really fine, I just pictured embroidered.

Also, there are different typed of clasps - rings and clips are the two that I see the most. Then, there is the easy release or just the cloth....I'll have to do some more research!

Rings are what I had in mind, but either would work. I just really want to have my name badge on one at work! Advertise, advertise, advertise!
 
I like the ring or the little hook one, one website I saw called it a trigger hook. I definitely don't like the clips because you couldn't use it for keys or such.
 
Hi Kate,
I am interested in 2 if that is okay.

Thanks

I love this idea but I think you should be careful... I do not think it is technically allowed. I just do not want anyone to get into trouble.

I was thinking the same thing. I love the idea but PC is so careful with their brand. I would probably ask if it would be okay first.

If it is allowed I am very interested and would buy 10 to 15.

That's what I was thinking. Merrill is the only vendor that can have our logo. We can't go to another vendor & give them the logo. I would definitely contact HO on that one before you spend the $.
 
But wouldn't it be the same as doing the vista print stuff? I think she's talking about just having The Pampered Chef and then the symbol on them. I thought the actual logo is with the hat. I may be wrong, I'm fairly new as it is but it's seems like it would be the same as using vista print.
 
We could get them printed with just the Pampered Chef name and the trademark logo. It would be like printing your own business cards. As long as we don't give another company the Pampered Chef LOGO, we are okay!
 
I think I would like two for myself (one for my purse, one for my car!). I have some people in my cluster I could check with, too, but my next meeting isn't until the middle of July. When do you plan on ordering them?

I would still check. The name "Pampered Chef" is trademarked not just the logo. We can do our own business cards but we must say "Independent (level we are) for (or with) The Pampered Chef". Actually, though, I think that technically we are stretching it with the VP cards too.

I know we can't put the words on a t-shirt that we would want printed or stitched by a company even if it's just for personal use so this is probably the same.
 
Yes but even when we do Vista Print we are not just supposed to put "The Pampered Chef" We are supposed to have your Name independent consultant for... or Our name then Ind Cons. It took a long time for PC to let us use even that in printing materials for ourselves.

I would totally love a lanyard but just don't know if it is "Kosher"
 
I don't use the logo with VistaPrint either. Anything I make as Your Pampered Chef Consultant & my name, etc. I would still check on it 1st before getting them & wearing them at conference. I agree that we need another vendor option & some other items w/logos.

Exactly.... That's what I do as well and I agree. The company that would do the printing could get huge fines as well.

I will be checking with HO on the printing of the name "The Pampered Chef" and the registered or trademarked symbol after it. I am not using the chef's hat or logo or anything like that. I did just check online about the policies and didn't find anything against doing something like this.
 
I agree to check with HO. Last year my upline director wanted to make some t-shirts and have The Pampered Chef on them some where. HO wouldn't let her do that even though she was an upper level director and I would be taking care of the order myself.
 
If they say no I would ask them to point out where exactly in the policies it says it is not allowed. I was reading it over too and although I found a few lines that "could" apply to this situation it was not verry clear. HO needs to spell things out better if they expect people to follow the rules.

I know I can't use the logo or tagline, but I also know we can use "The Pampered Chef" as long as there is a registered or trademarked character after...not sure which one. I also know we can't use the font. But, I'm not looking to use that stuff.

That's my piont... It is a bit unclear. I read and re-read the policies and it is a bit of a grey area.

The only thing I found is where it says we can not on anything we print be identified as "The Pampered Chef" It must say Ind. Consultant.

But that's it.
