Why I Became a PartyLite Consultant

2 09 2008

Where you work is a personal decision.  Many people follow their heart, working in the family business or an industry that is benevolent by design.  Others follow the money, working where they can receive the best pay.   Some of us are lucky enough to have a career that combines the best of both worlds. 

There are a number of reasons why I was initially attracted to PartyLite as a Consumer. 

Quality Candles – I love PartyLite candles.  They burn clean and clear.  PartyLite candles are composed of the highest quality wax and all-natural wicks, combined with the perfect blend of fragrance and color to burn with a clean and pure flame.

The Company – Being from the East Coast, I was drawn to this New England based company. 

In 1905, a New England schoolteacher and entrepreneur, began to make candles from the bayberries on Cape Cod with an initial goal to simply make bayberry candles for her friends and family as Christmas gifts.  Her friends loved them and insisted that she make more.

Her business grew and flourished for years as Colonial Candle of Cape Cod.  In 1973, Colonial Candle of Cape Cod set up PartyLite Gifts, Inc. to sell excess inventory of candles from their factory and gift shop.  

In 1990, Blyth, Inc. acquired both Colonial Candle of Cape Cod and PartyLite. Today, PartyLite’s candles and accessories are sold by more than 37,000 Consultants in 11 countries.

Code of Ethics – PartyLite is a proud member of the Direct Selling Association (D.S.A.), the national trade association of the leading firms that manufacture and distribute goods and services sold directly to consumers. Company compliance with the Code of Ethics makes a bold statement about that company’s commitment to practicing the highest ethics in business.

Becoming a Consultant with PartyLite was one of the smartest decisions I ever made! It was great to start a business with no cash investment and it’s also great that I don’t have to store a supply of candles (PartyLite fills the orders). The income is incredible, especially because I can choose to make more money by doing extra Shows or by building a team of my own.

Deciding to become a Consultant was easy:

  • No experience necessary!
  • You’ll have fun selling candles because everyone loves them
  • You aren’t tied to a 9:00 to 5:00 schedule
  • It’s easy to book Shows because of PartyLite’s generous Hostess program
  • Your future is up to you – you don’t have to wait for someone else to promote you, and you don’t have to worry about lay-offs

No Cost to Start -  Can you imagine starting a business just by having a party where your friends and family buy candles? That’s how I began with PartyLite, and the sales at my Show were more than $350, so everything I needed to get started was free!

My Starter Kit had candles and accessories to display at Shows, and enough order forms for my first six Shows. And I was earning money right away. How easy is that?

Income Potential – With PartyLite, I get paid according to my Show sales – my weekly income is 25% of the sales. There’s also a monthly bonus of 7% of sales as soon as sales reach $2,000 in one month.  You decide how many Shows you hold – and you decide your income!

Flexibility – I really love being able to plan my work time around the other things I want to do in my life. It makes it so easy to take care of my family and my business without stress or conflict.

Plus, every month we have free workshops and PartyLite sends lots of materials with tips and ideas.  

Awards and Recognition PartyLite loves to celebrate everyone’s success! Besides the income we earn every month, we regularly get:  Personal recognition, Product, and Special gifts.

Awesome Vacations – Every year PartyLite plans a trip we can earn to an amazing destination – incredible places I could never afford to go on my own!

The products are amazing. There is no cost to start. The rewards are so great. I don’t know why I didn’t become an Independent PartyLite Consultant sooner.

Hello World!

This is my first blog on wordpress…woohoo!  Let’s enjoy the adventure together…

My Story

I’m an East Coast gal that has lived all over the country and a couple years outside the United States.  I grew up in the country and in a small town.  Then moved away to the “big city”.  I have to laugh at that cliche.  That wasn’t my intention.  I was simply going where my job took me and enjoyed the ride. 

After working and being part of the “rat race”, I am happy to say, I have finally found a full time job that is more about giving than receiving.  I’m proud to work for the organization and the role I play. 

I’m also fortunate to have a “part time” job (home based business) that I am proud to be a part of. 

I discovered PartyLite in 1994 when I was living in Sacramento, California. A co-worker asked me if I wanted to go to a candle party. I enjoy burning candles, so I gladly agreed.

Since then, I’ve been hooked.

After being a loyal customer for more than 14 years, I became a Consultant in February 2008 and I am now looking forward to being a Leader of a great and growing team of smart, successful women. My enthusiasm for my little candle business has done nothing but grow. I go to parties. I tell people about the best candles in the world. I have fun, eat their food, drink their wine, and get paid. I work when I want to.  I work part time from home only about 3 to 4 ours per week.  I’m looking forward to increase that to 15 to 20 hours per week as a leader. It’s one of the best thing that’s happened to me.  If you like some of the choices that I have shared with you, and think that it would make a difference to your lifestyle as well, then please contact me and we can set up a time to have a chat.  I look forward to hearing from you!
Thank you.
