That would be a violation of PC's online advertising guidelines....;)
 
Wow, and it's an AP release...too bad my local paper doesn't pick it up. I should email it to a friend and see if she can get it in!!!

Yeah, I guess you're right, though, technically, this IS a newspaper article.;)

How about just saying "For more info, contact Marylou at xxx-xxx-xxxx? I guess that wouldn't be quite kosher, either.

Oh well, maybe someone will be interested enough to contact HO, and they'll pass on Marylou's info.
 
If you put your name, position and phone number in the comments online, that's including your info online, which is a violation of policies. We are not supposed to post ANYWHERE online that we're a consultant.

You know I really don't agree with this policy. If any of us could post online, ANY consultant could, not my fault that they don't. I do follow the rules, this one I don't think if right. Just my two cents.....
 
So if you see someone doing it, turn them in. HO has a group to deal with web violations, but they can't be everywhere all the time. They rely on us to find policy violations and report people.(And on a side note, it's against policy for us to list our PWS in our profiles here, too. And a lot of people do that.)

I am having a brain fart, but this doesn't include our e-mails to customers does it?

This is the only place I reveal that I am a consultant, and you are all taken and have your own PC products to play with.
 
You can include info in email signatures. It's on websites that it's a no-no.
 
Okay Tulsa Directors...get ready for a lot of HO leads for Party Stick orders!
