Thank you,
Sandra

Since I already posted over on the candle thread, I will not repost lol for Mia Bella again. Goodluck on your choices!

There was a similar thread on this topic not too long ago wasn't there? When I have time I'll see if I can bump it up for you.


Sandra - you said you like several companies already, so I am assuming you've done a little research already?? Which companies did you like? It might be easier for you to contact consultants in those chosen companies, rather than having everyone and their brother reply back to you with all that information. I mean, there is no sense in reading all that info on a company you are totally not into and there is no sense in wasting that consultant's time to answer all those questions..... I mean, if you know right now that you do not want anything to do with home decor companies and all you want info on is companies that deal with bath and body products. Make sense?

Hi Sandra,


I'm not sure if wine is your thing...but since nobody from The Traveling Vineyard has answered yet, I thought I would pipe in!


1. What is the name of your company? TheTraveling Vineyard
What items do you sell? Wine and Wine Accessories


2.What is the start up cost and what's included? Light &amp; Lively Kit for $129.95 and Robust Kit for $250...glasses, marketing material, Spit Buckets, accessories....everything you need to get your first few shows going.


3. What is the commission? 20% and then increases as you advance with the company and get paid for your downline.


4. Is there a monthly minimum purchase requirement and if so, how much? You need to submit 2 qualifying events ($150) every other month, or 1 per month.


5. Does the company submit the state sales tax? Yes...in MA we are only taxable on the accessories, not the wine...but that would adjust to where you are.


6.What is the company return policy? Very good return policy, for a bad bottle of wine (it happens!) you have 6 months from the date of purchase and they will just ship out another bottle.


7. Are you required to cover part of the Hostess Gifts or pay admin fees, etc.? Yes..for the gifts...its a very minimal amount and I don't even know what it is because I don't notice it really in my pay.


8. What do catalogs and paperwork cost? Survey &amp; Interest forms $7.98/100, Catalogs $9.98/25, Postcards $1.48/pack, that is about all you need to really run your business...there is lots of other marketing material too.


9. What are the customers shipping charges? $7.95/order for 1-12 bottles shipping to the hostess....$11.95 to ship direct.


10. Can an order be shipped directly to a customer? Yes, for 11.95


11. Is there a monthly/quarterly sales requirement to stay active? 2 events every other month...($150 each).


12. Does the company provide a website and if so, what is the cost?
Also, does it have online ordering for customers? Websites are coming this spring!!! Not sure of the cost yet, we do have after market sales, so once a customer has been to an event, they can go on to the TTV website and place orders. When we have our websites people will be able to place orders through our website.


13. Other than Home Parties, what other ways can you sell for your company? (Catalog Parties, Person to Person, Fundraisers, Internet, Online Parties, etc,)? Because we are dealing with Wine and we have A LOT of laws to contend with...we can only sell through in home parties, and then once a customer is in our database, they can order on-line from the company. We then get credit for it because they are "tied" to our name.


14. Can you Rep for other companies? Yes


Good luck with your search!!! Please not that The Traveling Vineyard can only operate in the following states AZ, CA, CO, CT, FL, IA, ID, IL,MA, MN, MO, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OR, SC,TX, VA, WV

5. Does the company submit the state sales tax? No


6.What is the company return policy? Returns are excepted for any damaged product.


7. Are you required to cover part of the Hostess Gifts or pay admin fees, etc.? You may offer a gift to the hostess but the discounts and such are taken care of by the company owner.


8. What do catalogs and paperwork cost? $2 for catalogs, brochures I believe are $1 but you can print them on your own as well.


9. What are the customers shipping charges?
Shipping and Returns
$00.01 to $25.00....$7.50
$25.01 to $50.00....$10.95
$50.01 to $75.00....$12.45
$75.01 to $100.00...$13.95
$100.01 and up......$19.95

Shipping days are Wed and Fridays.



10. Can an order be shipped directly to a customer? Yes


11. Is there a monthly/quarterly sales requirement to stay active? Need to place one order at least each quarter but could be as small as a sound chip which only costs $1.


12. Does the company provide a website and if so, what is the cost?
Also, does it have online ordering for customers? The website is free, and offers online ordering, however it is my suggestion that most people order from the rep site and sell their inventory. You make a little more cash this way.


13. Other than Home Parties, what other ways can you sell for your company? (Catalog Parties, Person to Person, Fundraisers, Internet, Online Parties, etc,)? We offer parties, events, fundraisers, internet sales, online parties, a lot of people also sell them at craft fairs and vendor fairs.
