Hey guys, I need a little advice. I should be getting my new COTM any day now but have decided I wanted to get a few more things before I have my first "open house." Any advice? I don't want to spend the amount to get the fast start pack but was wondering what was the difference between the shoulder bag (does that include all the samples) and the sample pack.


Also, I wanted advice on my first party. I am treating it like an open house and am going to have it my house. Any ideas?


Thanks in advance!!

Hi Azmommy, congrats on joining this wonderful business.


The sample pack is a case of 12 best selling candles, 4 bella bars, 1 body wash, 1 handwash , 1 airfreshener.
Which for me would be the best way to go in my opinion you will have somethine of all we carry except for the new pillar candles, which you can order if you would like.


The Sample Bag is just that the bag and about 80 different scent samples.


If you go with the sample pack, I suggest getting some samples from your sponsor so you can have some other scents for them on hand to smell. Or you could order some votives as well.


I have not held any home parties yet but that is my goal for the new year. I suggest having a bit of refreshments on hand, not anything heavy just some snacks.If you think they will go for it, play a game or two. Pass around the candles and talk about them and the products. Tell why you joined Mia Bella and about yourself a bit.


Good Luck on your party let us know how it goes. :)

You may want to call support to find out if you can place your first order and get the "sample pack" sign up special. There is a sample pack to order in the back office, but that is just the case of 12 top selling scent jar candles.


I had asked about that in the past and when I called, I asked if I was able to order the sample pack with the extra goodies in it - but as it wasn't my first order (I had already ordered a case by that point) I wasn't able to. If you only have your COTM order - you may be able to do something like that still - just call and ask!
