Focusing on bookings, products, recruiting, registries, website purchases? All of the above will be difficult in a small space.

OK..thanks, I'll start with that....
 
You want the phone to ring. Offer something enticing (free cooking demo) or cooking class for girl's night out, and give your name and number. Don't say too much in the ad!

Or maybe a lead about the monthly specials... Lifetime guaranteed quality cookware at 60%-off if you call by January 25!

Good luck. Times I have advertised in the past have been poor - let's just say the advertisers made a lot of money!
 
I always think from the consumer POV. Free product, deeply discounted product catches my eye. Fun while doing this would also make me think...why not. There also has to be a need..they must think they NEED to host a show.

Less time cooking - more time eating!
Don't WASTE TIME in the kitchen - let the Pampered Chef help you reduce cooking time with quality, multi-function tools.
Gather your friends and receive up too $220 free product - Get 60% off singnature items - Free Groceries - Invite the guest I'll do the rest!

I dunno, something like that?????


LOL

Beginning in Feb (I think) you will be able to purchase "Ad Generator" through Merrill Corp. It is only $2.99 for 30 days access and you can generate ads with preapproved wording and pictures! It looks really cool.
