Very Nice Kieth! I wish I had a good head shot... I would like to have my picture on mine. Guess that's an advantage of being a teacher. You get you mugshot done at least once a year...

I know it's great! Plus, mom always has a stocking stuffer of a new picture of her baby boy. :thumbup:
 
I ordered mine through Merrill but have switched to using recipe cards w/label as business card. I have heard great success with others doing this so I thought I'd give it a try. I just place the label (address) on the front (name, consultant #, h & c #, website, & Cooking shows, Wedding registry, Business opportunity). I just print my own right now but might have some made...through Vista Print.

I have done it each way, made my own... Merill, and Vista print.

I am now a Vista Print gal all the way!

I paid a bit extra to get these glossy. I really like them!

Are you tired of my questions yet?!
I found the cute chef hat/whisk & selected it, but once I get to the end to view my card, the pic doesn't show up....what do you think I did wrong?

What do you put on the back of your business cards? Anything?
 
thanks alot
 
Bumping ... I usually put NOTHING on there ... that way I can attach them to magnets!
 
Just wondering how many actually put their consultant # on the cards and if you think it's beneficial to do so.

I put a sticker on mine talking about the outlet. It helped the other day. I talked about it at my show and the next day I had a $6 order! LOL Money's money! :)

IYou can use The Pampered Chef name as long as you use the little "R" to notate that the name is registered.

:eek: I just ordered a bunch of "Free" stuff from visita and didn't put the R on any of it. With shipping it was still around $40. Darn it! Think it's still ok to use? Maybe I'll just try to find a tinny R stamp and put it in myself.
 
:sing:FYI--Called CS and they cxl my on-line order from today & told me I could re-"purchase" the order with the corrected R symbol added.

Consultant number isn't really necessary. Before PWSs, HO would activate online ordering rarely, and customers needed their consultant's number in order to have the order properly accounted for. But there really isn't a need now. I think it clutters up cards a bit.
 
how do you get your business card on here from vista?? I was going to show you my stuff....but I am a dummy
 
When you have the preview of the card open, right-click the picture and save it to your computer. Then you can attach it to a post here.
 
lets see if this worked. This is not my business card, just a pamphlet

ohh!! now if I can just make it bigger!!!
 
To make it bigger, you need to save the image to an image sharing service like Photobucket, and then use the IMG tag to embed it in your post.
 
Thankyou for answering Ann. I didn't want to clutter up the cards so much.
 
You guys inspired me! I did mine tonight. Question though....is shipping always so expensive? Why??
 
Their shipping makes up for the freebies they offer. :rolleyes: And frequently, if you have multiple items in an order, it comes in separate boxes, depending on the items you got.
