Counting Our Blessings In November

Halloween is behind us so the next BIG day is Thanksgiving paired with Black Friday, right?  So let’s kick off November with some Thirty One excitement…

Thirty One’s top selling product for years has been the Large Utility Tote…BUT the biggest complaint is the fact it sags when it wasn’t full.  The solution…… The Stand Tall Insert!  And the best part about it is it is on SALE this month!!!!  So let’s check out some of the great ways you can grab one (or more) of these beauties….

#1 – Have you every thought about being a part of Thirty One?

Have you been crunching numbers to try and figure out YOUR holiday budget?  No time for a part-time job?  You work full-time?  Are a mom taxi 24/7?  What if I told you, you could make up to $1000 and have a debt-free holiday?  Impossible right?  You are thinking not enough hours in your day….. I may be able to help with an investment of $99 by you:  How would you like to solve your holiday gift giving with 40% off our amazing products?  There are TWO Enrollments Kits which are  packed with some of this seasons top sellers – the Retro Metro Bag (my favorite) and the large utility tote which has been a company top seller since it was introduced!   You could grab the kit and use it for gifts….. that is holiday shopping on a budget!

I offer home, catalog/online, on the go (at your office or at a local restaurant) along with ever popular Facebook parties.  Which fits into YOUR busy schedule?  I will still send you a hostess packet so you can share it with your friends, family and co-workers.  How many people could you check off your holiday gift list with the free and discounted products you earn for hosting a party?  Maybe even treat yourself to something special.

The November Turkey Trot

Halloween is behind us so the next BIG day is Thanksgiving paired with Black Friday, right?  So let’s kick off November with some Thirty One excitement…

This week’s produce of the week is AMAZING!  It combines the benefits of a thermal tote and cinch sac. The Quick Cinch Thermal has a spacious interior for transporting snacks for the family, groceries and more, as well as an exterior flat pocket for papers, mail, cell phone or planner. The drawstring closure keeps everything safe and secure, and when not in use, it rolls up for easy storage. It is washable and wipeable which makes clean ups easy.  Monogramming and personalization options are available.  Now when you grab one of these, you can take advantage of this month’s customer special – the Medium Utility Tote. 

Yes, it is back for this month (actually only till the 21st of November) ONLY!  The best part is with a $35 purchase, you can grab the medium utility tote for $10 and add an insert for $10.  That’s right with just ONE $35 purchase, you can get TWO specials in any combination.  How awesome is that?

You know the BEST way to enjoy this special is by sharing it with your friends, right?  So how about a 31-minute Facebook party – not like one you have ever been to.  I have two options this month: #1 a 31-minute party with just the highlights (and no fluff) or #2 a simple (only 6 posts) easy Facebook event where your friends can order their holiday gifts.

I will still send you a hostess packet so you can share it with your local friends, family and co-workers.  PLUS everyone who orders or hosts a party, will be invited to my VIP Customer Appreciation BINGO event (online) with $200 in FREE products to be given away.

So, let’s recap what you get for just gathering 6 orders (all it takes for a $200 party):

An average Facebook party (with a little help from you) is about $600 which gives you the chance to take advantage of the November Hostess Special:

How many people could you check off your holiday gift list with the free and discounted products you earn for hosting a party?  Maybe even treat yourself to something special.

Have you been crunching numbers to try and figure out YOUR holiday budget?  No time for a part-time job?  You work full-time?  Are a mom taxi 24/7?  What if I told you, you could make up to $1000 and be able to have a debt-free holiday?  Impossible right?  You are thinking not enough hours in your day….. I may be able to help with an invest of $99 by you:

Share the catalog with friends, family and co-workers.  You would do it anyway if you were hosting a party, right?  Why not get paid to help them do their holiday shopping?  What is the worse that could happen?  You have ALOT of your holiday gift shopping done with just an investment of $99.  OR, you could make some money, earn some free product and enjoy a stress-free (okay, maybe not totally) holiday season.
