I have only recenly decided to start looking at Party Plans as a source of income.
The only down side is, there are so many different types!
Are you able to recommend which ones you all prefer, or do you have to PM me? Not sure how all this works, lol.
Anyway, any lead in a direction of a wonderful, reputable company I can represent, would be greatly appreciated!

Mmm, that is a hard one.. I do Fifth Avenue Collection and I really prefer this one.
I have this feeling everyone loves their own company.....

Hi there and a huge Welcome to you.
You have certainly come to the right place for advice. I run my own team with Saucy Fish Jewellery. We sell gorgeous fashion jewellery as well as our own brand cosmetics and skin care range. We also have lovely bags and accessories. Im a mum of two and i just knew i couldnt go back to my old job as i needed something to work in around my family commitments. Saucy Fish has been the answer for me and perhaps it could be for you too? I would be more than happy to send you some information or a catalogue if you are interested.
Feel free to PM me or email me at saucyfishconsultant@yahoo.com.au
Hope this helps and look forward to hearing from you.

oooh!
an open question there... prepare for lots of PM's !
In my opinion, I would suggest you join zf.faed fd rfr as they are the best company in Australia!
(Damn my keyboard is playing up! Sorry every time I try to write zf.faed fd rfr... ahh! see...did it again? Must be that "unbiased" posting thing I built into the forum)

I think what you were trying to say Mr PP was SAUCY FISH SAUCY FISH!!!!
hehe well ya cant kill a girl for tryin :)
Mummsie replied:
lol. Thanks for the laugh.
Maybe I should have asked which ones to steer clear of, lol. I can see why everyone would think that their PP (ohh, new lingo I just learnt from you all:P) is the best.
Will deffinatley check out Saucy Fish, too. I know a lot of women that get into trouble with their hubbies because of their jewellery fetishes! Might be a good angle to work on!

Hi Mumsie,
I think you're going to find we're all pretty fond of our own PP's, it's just that kind of industry, because there is so much choice, you really do get to choose a company that you adore.
I'm with UnderCover Wear, a ladies fashion and lingerie PP, we have sizes from 6-26 and bras from 10A-22E.
A couple of things to keep in mind while you're deciding: check out whichever company you're thinking about quite seriously. I'd personally make sure that they're a member of DSAA.
There are a few threads floating around the forum with advice on choosing which PP is going to be right for you, but my main piece of advice would be go with your heart. If you love your products you won't have to sell them, they'll sell themselves!
Good luck!! Keep us posted.
:)

Hi
Liz here from the Certified Organic Skincare company Miessence, have fun trying to decide on which PP to go for so much to choose from makes it difficult but fun. I am excited about this company as they have just updated their PP and they now have lots of extra discount for Customers, Hosts and new Party Packs to make the MiSpa Party a real winner. I am new to the whole PP bit and am pleased they are running a training session on it all in Melbourne and Sydney in July to help us all on the way.
Enjoy your search
Liz
Mummsie replied:
Thank you so much, everyone!
I already have so much to read up on, and a few searches to do!
Thanks for the PMs. I am slowly answering each and every one of them, lol.
JodieR replied:
LOL... maybe you should have put what sort of things interest you eg Jewellery, Skin Care, Kids, Craft, Lingerie, Linen, clothing, perfume etc etc etc.
Kelly replied:
I completely agree with Jodie. Before considering any company the first thing to ask yourself is 'what am I passionate about?' Then 'what do I want to get from being a consultant?' Income? Rewards? These are all things to look at before deciding that way you are able to compare the different plans and decide which is best suited to you.
Level of support from the company and cost are two other things you may wish to consider.
Anyway, good luck with which ever choice you make.

Hi mumsie
welcome to the PP forum. I wish you all the best in your search for a PP business.
I know what its like. There are so many to choose from, i am still in the process of finding a new PP home,as the one i was with has just closed down. I have just signed up as a SF under Snazza as a Catalogue Consultant. Its a start.
Good luck again.

Hi Mumsie,
You have a big decision ahead of you and lots of great plans to choose from. As Jodie and others have said choose something you love to do/buy and therefore sell. If you love your product you Will do well.
If you are interested in Craft, please feel free to contact me for more information about Crafty Kids. We offer our consultants and customers the best range of combined scrapbooking AND stamping in Australia.
It is a great Australian owned family based PP and I love doing it. Nothing like combining a favourite hobby with a business!!! I get to use the excuse that I have to go and do some scrapping for "work" and escape to my craft room for hours on end!
Good luck with your research, and I hope you find the perfect plan for you very soon.
