Yes to anyway anyhow you wish to sell the products you can.

I know a few retail stores who do, 2 scrapbooking shops and one photo developing place.  Its clever in my mind to allow consultants freedom to work how and when they can.

Marie replied:

No I don't have a retail shop, Could not afford it. With my products you call me direct or email me. I do have a webstie, but not a shopping cart so if anyone one wants to order anything they can email me. You can call or email Jodie (princess) who is a member of partyplans who is a consultant for me. We do parties and catalogues sales. catalogue sales are proving to be a success.

That's one of the things I love about Jour. You don't have to hold a party in order to be able to purchase. Of course it makes more sense to have a party, but I've actually had more success with the one-on-one sales.

Stampin' Up! Allows us a lot of freedom in how we gain orders.  We can hold classes or workshops, various events, or we can also accept catalogue parties and just regular customers orders.  We can have our orders shipped straight to our customers also, which is great as I regularly have interstate customers that order from me.

There are a few ways to order with UCW.
Parties are obviously the best option, but as a consultant we also have the option to offer catalogue parties, direct ordering from cats, e-parties and you can also order through our webpage or by phoning head office directly (though I never encourage this option as the postage is higher)
Cheers,

We don't have a shop but we can take orders without people having to have a party. We can also do online parties and catalogue swaps etc.

We have numerous ways to sell our soy candles.

Party Plan, Workshops/Classes, Retail, Wholesale, Online, Catalogue, however you can think - virtually no limits apart from your imagination.
That is backed up with a good compensation plan, if you join a good team 

JodieR replied:

We also have various ways of doing business as well, I do run an online retail store and looking at setting up affiliate program so that consultants can have their own site as well. I'll be looking at moving into a physical store within the next 2 years. And of course... all the other stuff that others have mentioned as well
