Don't go on what we would do, go on what you would do. smileys/smiley2.gifMine would be toys of course. smileys/smiley36.gif
Remember, you are selling it. What excites you the most! For example, I spent the last 2 days playing with my oldest while Billy napped. What did we do? Yesterday we played with a cool rocket that I sell. Actually Billy helped with this too.They were my testers andtheir expressions and gigglesmotivated me to get moving and on the phone. Also both days we played one of the games I sell. Alexasked to play, and loves it. I don't mind playing it and find myself having fun too. I know if I have these stories, my customers do too.
So, if you had an hour with your child, would you be more excited about stuffing bears or reading books.
THEN, ask yourself. OK, now I know I have to do this with other people's kids next! Which would be more fun for you? It can be very tiring dealing with other people's children. Do you want to read to them or stuff bears and help them dress them? Or with the books, you would actually be spending more time with just adults since kids don't have to be present. So think about that as well.
And then if you are stuck and catch yourself saying, "both", compare compensation plans, competition, hostess rewards, trips and incentives and markability in your area.
Best of luck! Both companies are good ones. smileys/smiley36.gif

They would go very well together~ It realy depends on your audience and age group, and of course which one excites you more~
Good luck to you~

On thing to keep in mind with Noah's Ark Workshop is that you can host Birthday Parties, Scout Workshops, Senior citizen groups, do festival events, beneifits ect and are not just limited to Home Parties.
With your book company you market school book fairs.
Both have good sides to them, but passion for what you do will be what helps you thrive.

I have never seen Barefoot Books, but I do know that the Noah's Ark
animals are very cute!!! I swapped some Big Yellow Box craft kits
for some animals from a Noah's Ark consultant and the monkey we got is
absolutely adorable!!! We gave some as gifts at Christmas and the
kids all loved them.

I would buy from both and I would go to a party for both, but I would not host a party for either. Only because if I am going to host a party and get free stuff, I want stuff for me that I would use. My kids already have almost everything they need, lol.
However, like Debbie said you can't join based on what we think. You have to go with what excites you. smileys/smiley1.gif

I know your focus may be kids now, but go with something that YOU love
because kids grow up! However, if you love those types of
products go for it!

Well clearly I had to say neither because I'm in businesses that are related to those smileys/smiley2.gif I think I asked that question to myself too when trying to decide what companies to go with, but then I realized that it was more of "Which one do I like better?" because really the more you love the company you work for, the better you'll do! I'm very passionate about both of my businesses and so far so good!
Good luck!!!!
Good luck!!!!
