I have several of their products and have given them as gifts too. Nice stuff, but I don't know much about their business end.
I know tereuts & mommysweird both are with Blessings Unlimited and could help you.

Have a fabulous weekend!

I work with them!

My party average is currently around $350. The company average is $400.

I have been having a great response about the product itself. Having been in direct sales in the past, I think there are some things that could be tweaked a bit with the hostess plan and the consultant website. But other than that, the company is GREAT! And I think those things will come with time. As of September, we were 4 years old.

The company truly wants this to be a ministry first and foremost. When I received my kit, it came with a packing slip that said at the bottom: "Prayed for by" and had a personal signature by every person in consultant care. Then I received a personal greeting card and a personal phone call.

I am impressed by the mission and focus of the company. And it's pretty neat to be in on the ground floor. If you'd like more info, click the link to my website in my signature line or PM me. I'd love to talk more with you.

By the way, I sponsored my first hostess and she just held her first party last night - which was $450.

I realized I missed a few of your questions.

It's very easy to sell. People just by what speaks to their hearts.

Quotas are $200 per rolling quarter. Meaning each time you sell at least $200, the roll starts over.

I just tell people I work with a company founded by Dayspring Cards that offers home decor, inspirational gifts and greeting cards in a home party setting. It's lots of fun to host a party. But most of all, it's encouraging. God has opened many witnessing opportunities in the short 2 months I've been with the company.

I just started with the company a month ago...it is like no other party experience out there, which is how I felt when I went to a Gathering I was invited to and I am being told by guests at the parties I have done, it is much more personal. The hostess plan is great too...there are specials monthly for the guests and the hostess, with HUGE discounts, free and 1/2 price merchandise and a couple of the top selling items to choose from absolutely free for booking on top of all this

I think the products sell themselves, when people see them, you just can't beat the quality.

I have done 3 parties and have averaged $350 with 2 of them and my last one was $500

I have also gotten the opportunity to choose an additional $50 in merchandise twice now with the great start rewards program....

I tell people the company was started by Dayspring and that it is all about encouraging your faith and your relationships...because we all need that!

and it WAS very touching to get my kit with the note about people praying over it....it is a GREAT company!

I had thought about joining Blessings Unlimited. I love the idea of a Christian company, but I thought maybe that niche might be too small to work in, and I realized that many other direct sales companies are in fact Christian. Good luck to you in what ever you do!

You're absolutely right, Cinnamon about many direct sales companies being Christian. I know your company, Initials is. So is Premier Designs. Those are two of the major ones I know of. I think At Home America is/was - not sure if they're still around . . .

I think At Home America is around but with all the companies closing it's hard to keep track anymore

Ooo I just looked at your site Kim, it looks like there are new products from last time I looked. Cute stuff for sure!!
