Hi,
I ordered my kit on Friday and am wondering about business cards. Do most of you use them and if so do you make them or is there somewhere we have to order them from b/c of PC rules? I am working on my binder while I wait for my kit to arrive. Is there anything else I can be working on while I wait?
Thanks.
Wendy
 
I'm a newbie myself. Getting ready for my first party this weekend, actually. Once you have your consultant number and password from HO you can go on consultant corner and download the logo. I did this and made up my own cards. They just have my name, phone #'s and email address. Be sure to read the rules on using the logo. You have to use it as it looks when you download it. No changes in size or color etc.

Good luck we can do this.

I'm working on a theme show binder myself. Lots of great ideas on this website!!!
 
You can buy card templets from Nancy's Artworks (http://www.nancys-artworks.com) and run them through your printer or you can get cards from Merrill (http://www.merrillcatalog.com/pamperedchef/index.asp ) or you can make up your own...which is the path that I chose being that my husband is a graphic designer!
 
I ordered business cards through vistaprint.com because they were free as my first order with them. I recently ordered 500 more of them and got them all for less than $5 so they always have good promos. I also got a free stamp with my info on it from them today. Its worthwhile to look into!

I staple my business cards to the thank you notes I print out for all my guests at my shows. I also tack them up on info boards around the military base we live on or anywhere else I can.

No. They can not use the logo. We can get our cards from there but have to be careful about the copyright. We can say our name and title:

Beth Brigham
Independent Director
for The Pampered Chef

and of course the rest of our contact information.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key elements to include on a Pampered Chef business card?

When creating a Pampered Chef business card, be sure to include your name, title (e.g., Independent Consultant), contact information (phone number and email), and a link to your Pampered Chef website. Additionally, consider adding your social media handles and a brief tagline that highlights your unique selling proposition.

How can I make my business card stand out?

To make your business card stand out, use eye-catching colors and designs that reflect the Pampered Chef brand. Incorporate high-quality images of popular products or your own cooking creations. Consider using a unique shape or finish, such as rounded corners or a matte finish, to create a memorable impression.

Should I include a call to action on my business card?

Yes, including a call to action on your business card can encourage potential customers to take the next step. Phrases like "Visit my website for exclusive offers" or "Contact me to host a party!" can motivate recipients to engage with your business further.

How many business cards should I print?

The number of business cards you should print depends on your networking goals and events you plan to attend. A good starting point is to print at least 500 cards, as this allows you to distribute them at various events, parties, and gatherings without running out quickly.

What is the best way to distribute my business cards?

Distributing your business cards can be done in several effective ways. Always carry a few cards with you to hand out during casual conversations, networking events, or social gatherings. You can also leave cards at local businesses, community centers, or libraries, and consider including them in customer orders or follow-up thank-you notes.
