Need Help With an Advertising Question

[DebbieSAChef]

Hello ladies,
I just wanted to ask you all a question. It seems I am getting an article and a poem printed in a NEW christian magazine called Chosen Magazine, which will be distributed in Texas, Maryland, New York, Alabama, Nebraska and Michigan for now. I love to write as a hobby in my free time along with PC. And I was told by the creator of the magazine that I can advertise my businesses on there for a small fee. I would like to do this but wanted to know if this is ok with HO. Is it ok for me to do this? Can I advertise my website on there? What can't I do on this?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ladies!

Debbie

I don't know about the advertising, but I am glad you posted this, I just googled the magazine and got the information and I sent an email to them and submitted one of the articles I have written. Maybe they will publish it. I love to write also. I actually just started my own website specifically for all my writings!! I am excited for you Debbie that you are getting something published. And I live in Alabama so the magazine is here!! Can't wait to see your stuff!!

Hmmm, I think you might need to call HO on this one.....I know that you can't advertise in a "Top 100" newspaper, only local ones....but I don't know about magazines......I think part of it has to do w/ distribution #'s.

But - Congrats on getting your writing published!

The guidelines are in what used to be called the Recipe for Success. This is what I found online:

If you have questions about the following publicity policies, contact Corporate
Communications at [email protected] or call (630) 792-8160.


Publicity: Magazines, Radio,
Television, Web Sites
Consultants and Above
If contacted by a national magazine, web site, any radio station
or any television station, Consultants must immediately alert
the Corporate Communications Department for counsel on
how to proceed. Contact the Corporate Communications
Department via e-mail at [email protected]
or phone at (630) 792-8160 and assistance will be provided
within 24 hours. The Home Office will ensure the media
request is legitimate and in the best interest of The
Pampered Chef® and all Consultants.
See separate policies on magazine, radio and television advertising.

Consultants may place paid advertisements in local, community
and national newspapers; town newsletters; Chambers of
Commerce or other business organizations’ publications; school,

refer to the separate policy on publicity.

THANKS FOR THE HELP LADIES!!

WOW Kelly that's great! It's a small world after all huh? I hope you get your stuff published too. It's exciting and since it's a new magazine I don't think they would be considered nationally known, but I will call HO on Monday morning to find out more details. I do want to wait until they are around a little more before I start advertising in the magazine. $50 is not a tiny amount, especially since I am trying to buy furniture and baby items for my new one on the way.
