I love vista print!I actually ordered all the FREE items just yesterday and then a few extras. You can't beat the prices and I actually found a logo I loved to compliment my PC business!! :p

Go for it, it's a great deal!! :D I also had a customer credit so it came out to be very cheap.

Debbie :D
 
I ordered business cards yesterday and had a lot of trouble with the site, having to log back in several times and start over...

I called CS at VistaPrints and they said the deal was only for those who weren't able to finish their orders (and of course anyone who didn't even try yesterday but gets the email). My reply was "so I don't get in on the special because I was patient yesterday" and he said "well...yes that's right".

I only paid $3.99 (that was yesterday's sale price) but free is even better.
 
I wish I could view vistaprints site. Every time I try I keep getting an error to allow cookies--i do exactly what it tells me and still wont let me on---anyone know how to help???
 
I really want the free magnets but when I click on the the link they don't show up as free! Help, please!!

There is an option to choose for backside printing. I'm not sure what it's called exactly, but it's there. If you go to the files and look for livepreview. Both the front and back are there.

Good luck!

Debbie.....Do share your business card. Is it the same one I have??
 
I don't have a pic but....I got the chef hat and apron (looks like a woman's figure even though there is no one actually wearing the chef's hat and apron) in the color purple. Does that make sense. It is wonderful. I love it. I used to just get the card entirely in red with a red rose, but these are so much better.

Debbie :D
 
I am trying to upload the PC logo for my business cards, and am not having success! Has anyone uploaded their own design? If so, any advise?

Thanks,
Courtney

Not to rain on your parade...but if you want to use the PC logo, you will have to order from one of our authorized vendors. Going through Vistaprint or other non-authorized sources is OK, as long as you don't use the actual logo. You can have The Pampered Chef® listed, but not our logo.
 
That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for letting me know!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of business cards are recommended for Pampered Chef consultants?

For Pampered Chef consultants, it's best to choose business cards that reflect your brand and include essential information such as your name, contact details, and a link to your website or social media. Consider using high-quality cardstock with vibrant colors and images that represent Pampered Chef products to make a lasting impression.

Where can I get business cards printed?

You can get business cards printed at local print shops, online printing services like Vistaprint or Moo, or through office supply stores such as Staples or Office Depot. Many of these services offer customizable templates specifically designed for direct sales professionals.

Should I include a personal photo on my business cards?

Including a personal photo on your business cards can help create a personal connection with potential customers. It makes your card more memorable and allows people to associate your face with your brand. However, ensure the photo is professional and aligns with your overall branding.

What should I include on my postcards for marketing?

Your postcards should include your name, contact information, a brief description of your services, and a call to action, such as an invitation to a cooking show or a special promotion. Including eye-catching images of Pampered Chef products can also enhance the appeal of your postcards.

Are stamps necessary for sending postcards, or can I use labels?

Stamps are necessary for mailing postcards through the postal service. However, you can use labels for addressing if you prefer a cleaner look. Just ensure that the postage is correctly affixed to avoid any delivery issues. Using stamps can also add a personal touch to your mailings.
