Recruiting Through Advertising

Another effective way to grow your team is through advertising. Advertising allows you to reach people beyond your immediate circle and consistently introduce others to the Carolina Country Bling opportunity.

Advertising can take many forms. Below are several proven methods to help you get started.

Social Media Advertising

Social media is one of the fastest and most effective ways to reach others. Today, most people are active on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and more — many of which are free to use.

Use these platforms to your advantage.

Facebook Tips

If you use Facebook, we recommend creating:

  • A business page and/or
  • A business group for your Carolina Country Bling business

While it’s perfectly fine to share occasionally on your personal profile, remember that not everyone on your friends list wants to see business content all the time. Use your personal profile primarily for connecting with friends and family, and post business-related content there sparingly.

To help you succeed, we’ve provided:

You can find recruiting scripts [here], and recruiting graphics in your CCB Back Office under the Marketing Tools tab.

Newspaper Advertising

Newspaper advertising can still be a very effective way to reach potential recruits, especially in local communities.

Costs will vary based on:

  • Newspaper location
  • Ad size and length
  • Number of words
  • Frequency of the ad

A great place to start is your local newspaper. Look for sections titled “Help Wanted” or “Home Business.”

Many newspapers now offer both print and digital versions. When you place an ad, it often appears:

  • In the printed newspaper
  • On the newspaper’s website

This gives your ad greater visibility. While newspaper advertising does involve a cost, it is often affordable and effective when done consistently.

Consistency Is Key

With any form of advertising — online or in print — remember that people often need to see an ad multiple times before taking action.

Running an ad only once may not bring the results you’re hoping for.

Helpful guidelines:

  • Post on social media at least 3 times per week
  • If running newspaper ads, aim for 2 placements per week
  • Midweek and weekend placements tend to work best

Consistency builds familiarity and trust.

Be Prepared Before You Advertise

Placing an ad is only the first step. Preparation is essential.

Before your ad runs, be sure you are ready to:

  • Answer phone calls and messages promptly
  • Have a professional voicemail message set up
  • Use a saved response message to reply quickly
  • Provide recruiting packets when requested
  • Meet with interested individuals locally, if possible
  • Collect and organize lead information using a Lead Sheet

Don’t be discouraged if responses are slow at first. Results grow with consistency.

Opportunity Meetings

Consider hosting an Opportunity Meeting shortly after your ad runs.

If several people express interest, meeting as a group can be efficient and effective.

Helpful tips:

  • Schedule the date and time before your ad runs
  • Choose a quiet restaurant or private meeting space
  • Invite your sponsor to attend and assist, if available
  • Follow up with attendees the day of the meeting

Preparation builds confidence and professionalism.
