Pampered Chef-Approved Business Cards: Beyond Merrill".

[Rebeccascabinet]

Just wondering if anyone knows of other PC approved business cards we can order? I really don't like the merrill ones at all, but it looks like those are the only choices we have.

I ordered the template from Nancy's. They have the logo on them and look just fine.

 

[KellyTheChef]

I ordered mine from VistaPrint.com
You can use the Pampered Chef name as long as you show the ® sign, you just can't use the logo.
They had a really cute card with a whisk/whipped cream and I have gotten lots of compliments on them!
HTH

So, i can use the name the with "registered" sign, just not the logo?
Thats great, cause I do not like Merrill's cards. I am also going to check out Nancy's too.

 

[Rebeccascabinet]

Can we use the tag line with the registered tradmark?

 

[lisacb77]

No. Recipe for Success is very specific about us not using the tagline, or any portion thereof.

I just received my bc from Merill as well and I DO NOT LIKE THEM! They paper quality is very poor and to be honest the bc from Town and Country were much better... heavier paper and raised lettering.

I order mine from vista print and I love them for the price you just can't beat them!! and they have all kinds of specials for stamps and post cards and stuff.

 

[Rebeccascabinet]

I agree that merrill cards are cheap looking, which is why I don't like them. I looked at nancy's and didn't like them much more. I too, prefer raised lettering think it looks for professional.On vista print, I know we must use the registered sign next to the PC, but how do you put the registered sign on there?

I like the Merrill cards, but I refuse to order from them any more unless absolutely necessary. Their staff people were awful at conference, whereas Nancy (yes, I met Nancy herself!!!) was as nice as can be.

Nancy will be getting the bulk of my business from now on.

To make the ® sign, hold down your Alt key and type in 0174

Others:
° is 0176
¢ is 411
© is 0169
™ is 0153
(All of them you hold down the alt key while you are punching in the numbers)

[Rebeccascabinet]

Thank you for that, Kelly! I agree about nancy being a very nice woman at conference!

I purchase 'index' or 'card stock' paper from office depot in a nice buff color. I download the logos we can use directly off of pc website. I use microsoft office/publisher software and make my own - they come out really nice.

 

[chefann]

Thank you for that, Kelly! I agree about nancy being a very nice woman at conference!

Nancy's awesome! When I was chatting with her, somehow it came up that my sister lives in Colorado Springs. Nancy invited me to come to her office next time I'm in CO visiting. What a sweetie!

 

[tiffanypatton79]

i'm trying to make mine now, where are the logo's we can use from pc's site? i tried looking but couldn't find them... what else can we use them for, could we turn them into an iron on shirt?

 

[chefann]

the logos are under Promoting your business > Advertising and publicity guidelines.

I use merrils business cards..... But I have thought about ordering ones from Vista Print to see if I like them better.... but I think I like merrills better jsut becasue it looks more professional to me. But cost is a big thing for me!!!

 

[jasonmva]

Hi everyone!
I was wondering if is a good idea to include your consultant number in the business cards. I've seen them in some cards, what is the advantage of it? Anyone?

Thanks
Perla

I have it printed on everything, and it has benefitted me! I handed things out at fairs, and my first recruit signed up online without me, just with my number. I signed up that way too! I think it's completely worth it!

 

[chefann]

Your consultant number can be used, as mentioned above, when a recruit completes a contract on line. Someone can also use it to set up a bridal registry.

In the past, before PWS, customers could place holiday orders online using our consultant numbers. Some of us just haven't gotten out of the habit of putting it on the cards, I guess.

 

[Perla]

Thanks a lot. I think I have my number put on them. Thanks again.

Making your own business cardsLook on the PC website under policies and procedures (I think) and scroll down until you find the logos. Right click on the logo you want to use and go to 'save target as' . I save mine in the pictures section of 'my documents' then just insert it when I'm in microsoft publisher when I work on my cards.

 

[dannyzmom]

I have my consultant # on my cards in case anyone wants to set up a registry or order their kit.

I ordered my business cards from Nancy's! I LOVE the little section at the bottom that they personalize. Gives it a nice touch. There was a mistake made on the cards, but I called and talked to the sweetest lady who apologized like crazy. While she was looking up my order, I told her how classy and beautiful I think the cards are. She was thrilled to hear that and said she would pass it onto Nancy, because they've apparently gotten a lot of negative feedback on the cards She also told me that they submitted several designs to PC and this is the design that PC chose. I love them!!!

That is technically not allowed. The logo is copyrighted. You and VistaPrint can be penalized for making those cards.
