Why You Can’t Live Without A Large Utility Tote

Thirty One’s original (and famous) Large Utility Tote, or LUT for short is celebrating it’s 10th birthday…Don’t get why this is such a BIG deal?

Millions of these totes have been sold over the years and for many it has been your go-to tote from the grocery store to the beach and back. And with more prints to choose from than ever, now is the perfect time to stock up on them – and the accessories to make the best even better!

Check out what makes this customer-favorite so special, and how the addition of the Double Chill Thermal Set and Stand Tall Insert has upped the game on this #1 seller.  The list of the 101 most creative, practical and just plain wacky uses customers have found for the LUT  is CRAZY!!

It’s storage made portable! When the best-selling tote debuted in 2009, the original Large Utility Tote featured, and still does, a sturdy wire support around the top to hold its shape and reinforced stitching on the handles and seams for unmatched durability.  Did you know it could hold up to 100 pounds?  Yes, it has been kid tested!  It also collapses flat for easy storage.

The two-piece Double Chill Thermal Set is soft yet structured and fits perfectly inside the Large Utility Tote, transforming it into the ultimate picnic basket or tailgating tote! Or quickly snap in a Stand Tall Insert to add structure, stability and handy interior pockets.

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!

Get Large in September

I know a strange title for a blog post but it caught your attention, right?

I’m sure that there are many different emotions as we get close to the first day of school.  Some are super excited while others are dreading the end of summer.

 This is the perfect time for some “ME” time. I know, you are thinking… “I have NO time for a party“.  Money is tight since we just bought all those needed school supplies.

What if I told you that YOU could reap all of the benefits of a “home party” without the work?  What if I could meet you for coffee or at restaurant for lunch or in the parking lot at work?  What if you just carried a catalog with you and sent all of your friends to an online Facebook party that was fun?

I know, you have heard it all before and the results were never what was promised. I get it. Check out this month’s “stuff” and then let me know what you think…. This months’ Customer is the most popular special EVER offered by Thirty One.

#1 –  September’s Customer Special is AMAZING!

Thirty One’s Customer Special for September is the LARGE UTILITY TOTE AND the STAND TALL INSERT for the large utility tote!  Did you know that over 10 MILLION – yes, I said million, of these totes have been sold since they became a Thirty One product.  The addition of the Stand Tall Insert takes the tote to a whole new level. The perfect way to let your tote stand on its own.  It also adds pockets to the inside of your tote.

#2 – Be a hostess and the gifts just keep on coming…..

Did you know that an average Thirty One party is over $600 in sales?  So what does that mean?  Check out all that YOU get

#3 – Would you be interested in paying CASH for all gifts at Christmas?  What if you could add some extra money while chauffeuring the kids to activities or sitting at the field while they practice?  What would you do with an extra $300? Or are you more interested in having some ME time?  Time with friends away from the kids?  Or do you just love FREE products?  Whatever your reason (or dream), Thirty One can help you reach it!

For just $99, you get over $350 in FREE product

PLUS you can get up to $600 more in FREE products over the next 4 months with our StartSwell program.  Which one is YOUR favorite?  You could get up to 4 of them!

PLUS there is still time to earn DREAM REWARDS through the end of September which could get you up to a $1,300 gift card!

I have peaked your interest…. for just a $99 investment you get FREE product, gift card AND commission.  Of course you will get paid to have fun and collect all of these FREE perks.

So, there are THREE opportunities with Thirty One this summer:

A Gift Giving Solution

Happy Saturday Everyone!  Can you believe that is just 18 days it will be Christmas?  YIKES!  How many of  you have all of your shopping done?  Is your house all decorated and ready to receive guests?

I have to admit that my tree is not up yet!  It is on my list to do but I vowed not to rush through it this year.  You know the “I have to do this so let’s get it done”.  I want to treasure the memories of each ornament as I get ready for the girls to come home for Christmas.

With that being said, we will be doing a lot of running around during the 6 days they are here.  Family and friends to visit with.  Shopping to finish up.  Grocery shopping to do.  Then the trek to my best friend’s house for Christmas Eve.  The one bag that will be with me through ALL of this is my Thirty One large utility tote.  Okay, so maybe I will have more than one…

Not only will I look organized but it makes packing the car so much easier.  I know you are probably thinking, my large utility tote doesn’t stand up like that unless it is packed full, right?

The secret is a “Stand Tall Insert“.  No, you can’t find them in the catalog.  They are on special this month for $15 with a $35 purchase.  So, if you buy a large utility tote for $35, you can get the insert for $15.  PLUS you can pick TWO, yes I said TWO more of the customer specials for a total of THREE with a $35 purchase.  No, I haven’t been sipping wine already this morning, it is the BEST monthly customer special yet!

So whether you need a large utility tote for the athlete in your family

Or maybe you are a realtor that recently sold a home or know someone who is moving into a new home:

Or maybe you want to help someone be prepared for whatever storm may come their way

The Large Utility Tote is a perfect solution.  Remember that if you want to be guaranteed Christmas delivery, be sure to order by December 10th.  Save on wrapping, packing and trips to the post office by having your gift shipped direct to that special someone.  Their Thirty One gift will arrive in our special holiday wrapping:

What is your favorite use for your large utility tote?  Or who do you know that could use one of these?  Share your thoughts with us.

Have a ThirtyOne-derful day!
