Default Trying to find a company to start with.

Hi there,

I am a military wife, mom of one, and I help out a non profit rescue. Being gone 40 hours a week would make it impossible for me to take in nursing animals but being a one income family is really making things tight. A lot of wives on base are doing scentsy and passion parties,so I thought I would give a direct sales company a try but I dont know what all is out there and some of the startup costs seem high. Can some of you pm with what companies you do and the startup fees, I'm interested in anything but scentsy (theres already like 15 scentsy reps in my housing area and I'm not huge on competition.) Also if theres any that let you do fundraisers for non-profits I would be interested since it would be a great way for the rescue to get some much needed donations and me to have an income at the same time.

If you believe in the power of learning through play and helping families connect in a meaninful way you might want to look into SimplyFun. We carry a full line of family, educational and party games to help build smarter kids and stronger familes through the power of play.
Our start up kit is just $99 + tax and there are no other DS companies doing what we do. When people get to see how sturdy out boxes and game compenents are and how much fun they have playing them, they are sold.
Fundraisers are easy with SimplyFun as you can trade out the free games earned for cash. A fundraiser with our dog and cat themed games would be a cute fundraiser for the rescue you work with already. You can do fundraisers for any group/individual you like. I am doing one for a friend next month who's raising cash for her adoption. SimplyFun is also an elite sponsor of MOPS and has developed a special program for us Funsters to present to local MOPS groups called "Put down the flashcards and play your way to smarter kids."
Let me know if this sounds like something you might be interested in.
Play-fully,
Amanda

Default Eclipse Candle Company

ECC is only $9.95 to join, if you join before October 31. After that date, we have 2 kits, one for $49 and another one for $99.00. We have both warmers and candles, so we have something for everyone. We are a smalll christian, family owned business. I can guarantee you that you will not find 15 reps in your neighborhood. We have really grown by leap and bounds during the last few months. We have an excellent company sponsored fundraising program. The organization or group can earn 50% profit! Yes, that's right, 50%! That is almost unheard of these days. The company pays this, it does not come from our profit. We also earn 15% from all fundraisers. So fundraisers are a good deal for the organizations and Glow Team members. The fall season is a great time to start a candle business. I would be glad to talk to you if you need more info. Please feel free to PM me. Take your time, and enjoy your search.

Clever Container is a great company that is really gaining ground, particularly after its recent feature in Woman's Day magazine. CC offers organizational products for the home, car, travel and more. The kit price is only $149, and there is over $350 worth of products and supplies included.

This is definitely a unique niche and might be a spectacular fit for you, especially if your housing is short on space. And no need to be an organizational guru either - we have detailed outlines to follow so you can learn as you go. Popular themes include Kids' Rooms/Playrooms, Closet Clutter Busters, Kitchen Organization, Purse Overhaul and more.

Fun, useful products and fun, interactive parties. Let me know if you'd like more information. Good luck with your search!
