Hi Everyone,
Earlier, I posted some information about a raffle I was holding. (The Sea Scrub deal I've seen posted here). One of our Arbonne readers kindly informed me that I was not in compliance, and I could get in big trouble if I didn't remove them.
That made me start to think about how much information I don't know! I read the successplan info about advertising, and its not all that clear to me. I am going to ask for more details from my upline, but I'm curious to know what you all think. What is considered "advertising" in a forum like this? When is the line breached? I don't want to break rules, but its hard when youdon't quite understnad what they are!
I also don't see where it says you may only advertise if you are an area manager or above. I've heard that, and I've heard you can't say Arbonne or use a logo unless you are AM or above, but I don't see where it actually says that in the successplan either.
I'm so confused! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif
I'd like to know what you all think...
Thanks!
Meg

Page 23 of the 2006 Policies and Procedures Manual:
4.1 Selling Products Online.
"Each Arbonne Independent Consultant is offered the opportunity to purchase, through a third party company, an Arbonne-approved Consultant Web site for selling products online using a direct link to Arbonne’s internet shopping Web site. Online orders will be fulfilled directly by Arbonne, however the Arbonne pages will remain within the Consultant’s Web site so that guests virtually never leave the Consultant’s Web site. In order to maintain the integrity of Arbonne’s brand name, product line and the Client/Consultant relationship, Consultants may only sell Arbonne products online, including current and past Arbonne merchandise, campaign materials and any other promotional materials (collectively, “Products”) through the MyArbonne.com Web Site Replicating Program. Any other online sales media, including independent Web sites, online malls or auction sites, such as, but not limited to eBay, are prohibited."
"4.13. ELECTRONIC ADVERTISING
Arbonne strictly prohibits any advertising or other information or content on the Internet, except on Web sites that are part of the MyArbonne.com Program, independent Web sites that have been approved by Arbonne, or as part of online banner or display ads that conform to Arbonne’s advertising guidelines and have been approved by Arbonne. Online banners or display ads must be submitted to Arbonne for approval prior to posting online. Online banners or display ads must link a user to a MyArbonne.com Web site or an independent Web site that has been approved by Arbonne. Advertising or information included in Internet Classified ads or I-malls of any type are prohibited, as well as advertising on bulletin boards, e-mail or list servers and the like. You may e-mail or fax your request for approval to Att: Compliance Dept. at 949.855.3077 or policycompliance@arbonne.com."
IMO if you are going to run any kind of special or ad per-say you are better off leaving the link to your myarbonne website and featuring it on there.Edited by: myarbonne
