Default Candy Creations & Gifts

Hi,

Just want to know if any of you have heard of Candy Creations & Gifts. They offer a wah opportunity as an independent designer. The website (Home) looks ok. I have contacted them and they replied with a detailed e-mail message. My biggest concern is that the start up cost is $1000. It includes the kit, some memberships and support stuff. They have the payment plan offered and that is a $200 initial and the $100 monthly deducted from account. I am very concern about it. Please give me some advice if you happen to know this company. Thank you very much.

Default Candy Creations and Gifts

Hello,

I haven't heard of this company but 1000 sounds like a lot of money. I would ask a lot of questions before making that kind of investment. What does that include? Are their quotas? Do you have to have parties? Is there money made if you have a downline?

Be careful spending that kind of money. I would highly recommend you do as much research as possible. It is good to post on forums like these. There are a lot of ladies on here who can give you some solid advice.

There are several gift basket companies you can join and spend a lot less. I am a consultant with La Bella if you are interested let me know. Note La Bella Baskets include candy, cookie bouquets, flowers and even baskets for pets.

I wish you the best with whatever you decide.

Good Luck!

Holy moly, that is a lot of startup capital!

I have some ebooks on creating gift baskets and customised candy wrappers that you can have for free! You can start these businesses yourself for a fraction of that.

You can download them at Infomaniacs

Lindt Chocolate has gift baskets that you can sell as a consultant, and they are not available in stores. Weigh your options, but I think $1,000 to start is a little steep - even with a payment plan. How long will it take you to make your money back ? With Lindt, it would take approx. one party.

Loving thoughts to all,

Pink Pea
