Looking to all of you experts for thoughts and past practices. I am doing a "Go Shop" event at our local Ice Box with a fellow consultant and its sponsored by the local newspaper. For our fee, we get a 1" x 3" advertisement in the flyer they are putting out. I just read the policy and see that we use the new logo that says consultant on it) but what else can we say or do? I've been closing a United Way campaign all day keying in 3400 donor cards and my brain is fried so I do apologize if this dilemma is simple.

Also any ideas of what you would include? I think it should just be basic with the logo and then something like "Stop by and shop with The Pampered Chef for all of those hard-to-buy-for people."

My team mate thinks it should be the January specials. The reason for this event is shopping even though our hopes are set on bookings vs sales but the public doesn't need to know that. (IMO)

Thoughts? Any policy experts want to throw out your two cents? I'll post this on the other site too as I know there are policy natzi's, I mean experts hehe, there too!

THANKS so much! :D
 
To make it real easy on yourself I would just use the Ad generator from Merrill. I haven't used it in awhile, but the last time I did you got an unlimited number of ads that you could save and reuse for only $2.50. Check it out!
 
I advertised in our local military paper and someone complained to corporate. Apparently because they offered an online version was the issue. Corporate said the only thing I could do in the guideline was name & number. No PC reference or logo is permitted. I tried to explain the lack of logic in that. She didn't get it. :(
