Amazing Wedding Idea!

I'm now wishing the Lockets were around for my wedding! Take a look at this amazing set! It's a wonderful idea to build a meaningful bridesmaid gift, to coordinate with your colors for the big day, so they can wear them for the wedding. I feel like this would also be great for the mothers as well; a keepsake for that special day, and the ones you love! <3

Sales, Sales, Sales

So obviously parties are a great way to turn a profit in direct selling. And I am going to end up hosting some parties here and there. However, I'm going for more of an online networking approach, to sell online to people I know stretching from California to Maryland, and Maine to Florida. So far, it looks like this may work out pretty well for me.

I now have a pretty huge order coming through this weekend that I'm pretty excited for. She has a group of birthdays lined up, with Mother's day right behind it, and wants one for each! I can't wait to see what she's looking to order and help her build them. I've had numerous compliments on the one I wear for 'advertising', which is turning out to be a huge success!

My next step now is to publicize this blog. I have to get it out there, not only to friends and family, but to the public in general. Every extra view on here can lead to a sale on my sale site. Origami Owl has turned out to be a success for me already, and truly is so much fun to work with. Nothing seems like a burden, and the company is great with their products and customer service.

Goal #2... Complete!

It looks like I've officially placed my first sale! Two Lockets, 2 chains, and 4 charms! I'm so excited over this. The product really does sell itself, like everyone says! All I did was send out an email, and I have people texting, and replying left and right about how beautiful and great this is going to be, and this is also what led to my first sale.

I also just now finished my order through VistaPrint for my business cards and introductory mailers. I can't wait to see how they turned out, and get them out to everyone else I know, aside from my email list.

My next step, get the product known. I'm going to make rounds this week to any offices and businesses I visit with community boards to get out a couple of temporary cards, and hand out a couple of Take-Out menus to some of my closer day-to-day acquaintances to pass on the word. I know that it could be a slow start, so if I don't reach all of my goals this month, it's ok... but I'm hoping to have this booming in the next few months. I have lots of bills, and lots of renovations that need to be done for my home... and this business could be exactly what I've been looking for to help out around the house!

P.S. ~ I'll be sure to put up pictures of her finished lockets once we receive them. She's working on a starter set. She wants to start small, and be able to buy them more charms, dangles, lockets, chains, etc., so they almost have their own O2 collection to build what they want daily. I think it's an AMAZING idea!

My First Sale!

So I received a call today for my first official sale! I'm so excited to be helping her build two different lockets as gifts. I'm just hoping that between what I have, and my team mates out there, that I can get everything she wants if I can't order them in time for Valentine's Day.

Of course, her gift receivers may be out there reading this, so *hush hush* it has to be a secret for now! I'll be sure to put up some pictures of the final products later this week!

Something New!

I now have a Facebook page to go along with my new adventure!

And below is a picture of the first locket I've put together for myself with some of the pieces in my start-up kit! (Of course, given my amazing life since my Husband and Baby Girl have been in it, I had to build mine based on my family!)
