I am a bit short of a sales goal for this month for Big Yellow Box and of course I have Christmas shopping I still need to do, so I thought I'd kill 2 birds with one stone. I am looking to do a product swap (You order $x.xx from me and I order $x.xx from you and we don't exchange any money - just place the orders). The companies I am most interested in are:


Tastefully Simple


Homemade Gourmet


Arbonne


Beauticontrol


Usborne Books


Good Books & Company


Bath & Body Works


Creative Memories (don't need much, but could do a $15-$25 swap)


Traveling Vineyard (I live in Arizona - I think it is fine for you to ship here - I'm not sure on your rules and regulations on that)


Home Decor companies (At Home America, SLAH, Home & Garden etc)


Cookie Lee


You can e-mail me at Allison024@aol.com (Allison024@aol.com) or pm me here. Thanks!

Hi Allison,


Are you interested only in those specific companies? Or companies that also sell similar products?


I have White Lily (candles / body products), Gourmet To Go (gourmet food mixes) and Baby Crazy (kids toys).


Let me know if you are interested in something!

Hi Allison~


I'd be interested in swapping with you. I am not with those companies listed, but we do carry a very wide variety of gourmet products as well as spa products~


I'll PM you the online catalog link~ Let me know if you'd like to swap~ Thanks! smileys/smiley17.gif

This is so cool, I just swapped with Allison and I am getting some
really great stuff for myself and my daughter for Xmas. Thanks
Allison!

I still REALLY need an Arbonne rep to swap with. I want to get my mom some of that progesterone cream for Christmas.


I've had fun swapping with everyone too. Gosh I've gotten so much Christmas shopping done today (okay - shopping for myself too - hee hee). I am getting lots of goodies from Rebecca and some SLAH home decor (things I have been wanting for a long time!) from Cheryl and I am working with Heidi to get some CBB bath/spa things. I'm so excited!! Oh yeah - I'm working with Vicki on getting some Beauticontrol things too - woohoo!

I just read your post and I am an Arbonne rep!! PM me and we'll see what we can do!!


Lori

Thanks so much Allison!! It was fun and I cannot wait to get my products.


~ Heidi

Phew - thanks everyone I think I am "swapped out" now. I have nearly completed my Christmas shopping - WAHOO!! I can't wait to get all these goodies in the mail.


I may post again sometimes next month if I have some $$ for more swapping.

Let me know if you are still interested Allison!





Bev

Thanks so much Bev, but I was able to get some great Christian CD's from Heidi at Country Bunny which will cover my Christmas needs for Preschool and Sunday School teachers :) I will certainly think of you in the future for more swapping!

Thanks Allison!! I had never checked out Big Yellow Box before, so it was alot of fun. I can't wait to get my order!!!


Lori

I am so excited to get my BYB order too! This worked out so perfectly - great timing with this post, Allison! Thanks!

Hi Ladies! I was just wondering if anyone would explain to me how the swapping is done? I am confused as heck about swaps - but everyone seems to 'get' it but me! :)





What confuses me, is that it seems to make more sense to swap based on actual commision paid, then it does on $$ amount of product - so that everyone is 'spending' the same amount for their swapped gifts. But, I sounds like you all did it based on product amounts? Can anyone clarify for me, how this process works?





Thanks!

As far as I know, swapping is done based on retail prices - if I wanted to buy something from another company, I would be paying the retail price. If someone wants to buy something from me, they would pay retail.


When we swap, rather than actually exchanging money - someone purchases, say $25 worth of products from me, and I purchase $25 worth of products from her.


I understand what you are saying regarding equal exchange of $$ spent based on commission percentage - but I look at it this way- I am still getting $25 worth of products for less than $25, so it is still a deal.


I think I am confusing myself now smileys/smiley36.gif


Rebecca

I'm with Rebecca - sure some people get a "better deal" if their commission is higher, but at the same time you end up not paying "retail" price for the other companies goodies no matter what, so its not like you are losing out. I know that some people I swapped with get a better commission than I do, but I think some get a lower one too. At the end of the day, we are all happy that we got some shopping done (at a discount!!), increased our personal sales volume and helped out other WAHM's and thats what it's all about!!

That clears it up! Thank you both! Now I will know how it is done. :)
