New Prospecting Postcard



In today's world, most of us are on the go. It's one thing to leave a business card with someone you've just met at a social function, or an old acquaintance that you're passing in a department store, but do these really get the word out? Are they getting lost in piles of other cards? Do they stand out from the rest?

To make sure your Watkins business opportunity stands out from the rest, Watkins has created this beautiful 5x7 postcard. Spotlight your #1 product — Watkins Business Opportunity. This piece has been created to coincide with our branding campaign and addresses the most common reasons a prospect would want to consider a Watkins home-based business.

Want more:

Quality products for your home
Time with your family
Recognition for your efforts
Opportunity to help others
Income

If you are ready to fulfill your desire for more, contact your Independent Watkins Associate.

It's clean, simple for a prospect to read, and just enough information to pique their interest — and leave them wanting more!

They are designed so that you can:

Personalize and mail
Carry with you
Post on advertising and memo boards
Include in Good Tastings Booking Packages
Include in Business Interview Packages
Give to those you're passing in a department store
Give to those you're meeting for the first time in a social gathering
Handout at an event booth

In advertising — less is more. The average person won't read a tri-fold brochure if their interest isn't yet piqued. This visually appealing postcard is sure to stand out from the crowd. Wherever you may be, this prospecting postcard is convenient, making it easy for you to share Watkins benefits instantly.

Upgrade Everyday Meals with Herbs and Spices

Bring international cuisine to your kitchen.

No, it isn’t hard to be an international chef — even if you rarely travel beyond your local grocery store. By simply adding a few herbs and spices to your kitchen collection, you can prepare dishes from all over the world.

Caribbean
Nutmeg is a main ingredient in Caribbean cooking, as well as, allspice and ginger.

French
French cooking uses virtually no spices but plenty of herbs, because the herbs grow in many French backyards. That means rosemary, thyme, tarragon, and marjoram, to name a few — all of which can show up in the classic blend herbes de Provence, which you can make by combining an assortment of those herbs (fresh or dried) in your kitchen. Just chop up the components and mix them to taste, or order at my online Watkins store for one of the many recipes for this blend, which sometimes includes basil, savory, cracked fennel, or lavender.
Try this on beef, roast lamb, chicken, pork, zucchini, or tomatoes.

German
Nutmeg and mace (another part of the nutmeg plant) are at the top of the list in German cooking. Mace and nutmeg are not indigenous to Germany, but they go in a lot of sausages.
Try this in streusel.

Indian
Contrary to popular belief, there is no one spice called curry. Curry powder is actually a mix of any number of pungent spices, and the recipe for that blend can vary from cook to cook. Cumin and turmeric are staples. Other possibilities include —but aren’t limited to — coriander, ginger, black pepper, red pepper, cloves, white pepper, nutmeg, fennel, cinnamon, saffron, and mace.

Irish
Ireland isn’t exactly known for its spices but use this mix on potatoes. The mix includes red bell peppers, onion, cayenne, toasted onion, Romano cheese, thyme, rosemary, and basil.

Italian
Many of Italian cuisine’s characteristic flavors don’t come from spices, but from garlic and onion. Many Italian recipes call for Italian parsley, basil, and oregano.

Latin
Cumin is used in pretty much all Hispanic cooking, as well as, onions, garlic, and Mexican oregano. Mexican oregano tends to be more bitter and earthy than the oregano you use for Italian cooking. It holds its own better among the other strong spices because it’s not as delicate and sweet.

Orange'alicious Fruit Dip

Nothing cools the tongue like the tangy taste of oranges. Cool off your taste buds this summer with this delightfully orange'alicious fruit dip!



Orange'alicious Fruit Dip

1 package (8 ounces/225 g) cream cheese, softened
3 tbsp/45 mL Watkins Mandarin Orange Dip Mix
8 ounces/225 g Cool Whip, thawed
1 tbsp/15 mL Watkins Vanilla Extract
Fruit of choice

Combine all ingredients and mix well with electric mixer.

Green Living



What is Green?

"Green" living is a way of life that considers the consequences of ones actions on the environment. It is a way of conducting life in an effort to preserve environmental quality.

Watkins is taking steps to preserve environmental quality in all of our product categories. But in this newsletter we want to focus on how our natural home care line is a step ahead of the rest.

Unlike food, the home care category has no governing agency that defines what ingredients are and are not considered "natural." Watkins wanted to make sure that when we called our cleaning products natural, it really meant something. So we decided to set a new standard, and we set it high. The natural standard we defined became our natural home care freedom code. This code includes ingredients that are considered harmful to the environment that you will not find in our home care products. Some are simply non-renewable like Petroleum, some can cause respiratory irritation like Ammonia, while others are just synthetics like dyes and colorants. Watkins has been working hard to set the industry standard for natural home care products and we are proud to say that there is no other natural cleaning brand in the country that holds themselves to a higher standard or a stricter freedom code than Watkins.

You get to use a product that truly is natural from a company committed to supplying you with natural products.
