Hi, My name is Pam and I just jouned MB. I am excited and can't wait to get my order in. I look forward to getting to know everyone and please if you have any advice for me let me have it!!


I am trying to figure out the best way to make my contact info labels and business cards right now....so I need your advice on that one. I am going to spend the next several days reading all I can and making me a game plan.


Wish me luck!!

Hi Pam!


Welcome to Mia Bella world! You will soon be addicted to the candles, and the business, it is fun sharing these great candles with people!


I use style #8160 labels. My labels for brochures I put my name, phone #, website, and then under that put


Parties* Fundraisers* Candle of the Month*


Residual Income


For business cards I ordered from Vista Print. They have a nice variety and aren't too expensive. I haven't tried making my own business cards, but you certainly have that option.


Good luck with your new business and ask away if you have questions. Everyone here is very helpful!


Gail

Hi Pam! I just joined last week and the only advice I'm going to give you is when you get the candles, don't eat themsmileys/smiley36.gifBecause you'll want to!


When I got my box I had to put them up because my 5 year old kept asking if he could please have a bite or even just lick one of the candles.smileys/smiley36.gif


Good luck!

smileys/smiley1.gifHi Pam - welcome to the business ! You will really have enjoy the candles ~ and will be addicted like the rest of us !


I order my labels from www.vistaprint.com (http://www.vistaprint.com) and www.roteck.com (http://www.roteck.com) Vista print has a large variety ofproducts you can use towards your business. Business cards, post cards, labels, return labels. Roteck has the round labels that you can use to put on the scent-samples or the bottom of the votives. It looks alot professional then just typing them up. You want to make sure you put all of your contact information on it. Name, title, website, email, phone number.


It will take time to get adjusted, but just have fun in the meantime and feel free if you have any questions. smileys/smiley1.gif

Hi, Pam! Welcome! smileys/smiley32.gif I use avery labels in various sizes and I use the company business cards. I know people who make them themselves cheap using card stock too. Vista print does have some good deals as well (as stated above). Find out which way you like best. Good luck!

Thanks everybody for the welcome!!


It seems like vista print is the way to go. Do they already have the Mia Bella logo and design or do I design my own?? Sorry I am confused.


I can't wait to get my candles in the mail!!


Oh also how do you get your website link on your signature to be clickable?? LOL

Hi Pam


I'm a newbie as well. I loooove these candles.I was nervous about selling but these candles are selling themselves. Everyone I have shown my display bag to has flipped over the scent. I highly suggest buying one if you can. Welcome.

Thank you!! I will try this when I get more time.

Pam you can buy a display bag right through the company site - I believe it is on the online order form or if it isn't you can call and order by phone. The phone number is in the contact tab on your site.


Someone is selling theirs - if you are interested I will forward the team email I received.

Are you talking about the shoulder display bag?? OMG!! It cost 195.00. That is wayyy too much! How much is the one someone is selling?? Do they come with the scents?

Hey Pam!! Great to see you here!


Sample bag is GREAT! It has all the scents in it, or most of them, and you can lay it out and SHOW< SMELL< AND SELL!!


Look on your website, then under opportunity, then under Distributor Materials. I believe there is a picture of it there. (I am thinking there is.)

Yep there is a pic there of it :)



ETA: What part of Tn are you in Pam? Edited by: BamaSweetScents

Hi Pam


I'm on a shoestring budget. I actually have been recieving the COTM for a few months but didn't have the money to buy stock so I waited til I got back my tax returns and invested in the display bag. Yes is it $195 but it is something I will always have and I have the ability to allow my customers to smell all the scents. It contains every scent excluding the four pillar scents. This way I don't need to carry any stock. Everyone I have showed the bag to has purchased candles. People love the bag. Now I'm not a natural born seller so I really needed a tool or a trick to sell the candles for me. I have made about $800 in sales in the last 5 days. smileys/smiley17.gif

That is a great idea!! I am thinking here. LOL I could carry the sample bag with me along with the companies brochures, a wal-mart candle and a MB candle so the people can see the difference in our candles. Plus some votives to give away. Hmmmmm....what do you think?? I haven't even gotten my products yet........smileys/smiley1.gif

I think you are thinking like a SMART MIa Bella Business Woman, PAM!

If you want to do retail, I think the sample bag is a *must have*. If you
can't invest in it right away, set aside profits and reinvest them when you
can. Until then, you can purchase filled sample containers, 3 containers
for $5, and put them in one of those small bead organizing containers
(the white plastic ones with all the compartments). For $25 you can have
15 scents to start with.

Put this scent case in a business shoulder bag (like a laptop bag) along
with your brochures, some CD-Roms, and your comparison jars and you
are a traveling store, ready to sell sell sell!

Welcome to Mia Bella Pam, and congratulations on your fun new home
business. Here's to your Success!

I am actually in Huntsville, so I guess we are almost neighbors :)

Sounds great!


A friend of mine in Los Angeles fell in love with our Candle of the Month Club. She joined about a year ago just to get her special COTM every month.


When she ran out of her COTM the second month, she burned another brand which is expensive.


She called me to tell me how the expensive other brand had burned totally black and she then realized the scent-sational qualities of Mia Bella.


She emailed me a picture of her totally clean Mia Bella jar next tothe totally black other brand expensive jar.


It really does make a statement when you see ours next to "theirs."


Have FUN andEnhance Lives!
