Summer Add On Kit 2013

Warm weather is among us! And I am SUPER excited for so many reasons. School will be getting out, family vacations will begin and most importantly...starting May 1st, Thirty One will begin with the new Summer Catalog!!!! And we are introducing some awesome stuff that I have already fell in love with. 

Right before Thirty One releases a catalog consultants are given the opportunity to purchase some of the new goodies in a add on kit. This give us first hand at what the products will look like and give us more products to show off to current and future customers. I have been a consultant for about 5 months now, been through 3 catalogs and I must admit this add on kit had me screaming!!!! Anyone that knows me, knows I am a pink girl and this add on kit is screaming with pink! If I could, I think I would buy about 10 of these kits. But unfortunately we can only get one! 

So what's in the kit? This Summer Add On Kit includes:

About Town Blanket in Spirit Black

Fold N’ File in Pink Pop Medallion

Fresh Market Thermal in Pink Pop Medallion

Hang-It-Up Key Fob in Pink Pop Medallion

Large Utility Tote in Pink Cross Pop

Organizing Utility Tote in Pink Cross Pop

Soft Wallet in Pink Pop Medallion

This kit showcase the new and improved About Town Blanket, which now has a wonderful zipper pouch that can be use to store keys, wallets and much more. This blanket rolls out and can be use for picnics, at sport events to place on the bleachers or soccer games so you can sit on the sideline without worrying about getting wet or dirty. And it rolls back up which makes it hassle free. 

The Fresh Market Thermal is a new summer product that I absolutely love! When I seen how much you can store into this at the Summer Catalog premiere I knew I had to get my hands on one of these. This will be great for picnics, park outings, sports events and family travel. 

The Hang it Up Key Fob has always been a great accessory to have on your keys to make it easy to hold around you wrist. But now it has a little something extra to make it easy to attach your keys to the bags or even your pants which will make it easy for you to keep up with. This is perfect example of Thirty One constantly working on ways to take something great and making it better! 

Other items in this kit are some of my old favorites but they are featured in some this summer's wonderful new patterns. I think Thirty One knew what will make me geek out when the created the Pink Pop Medallion pattern. I think before the summer is over I will have everything in this pattern and the Pink Cross Pop pattern also help accent this pattern as well along with the Spirit Black pattern. 

This Summer we have so much to offer and the rest of the product line and patterns will knock your socks off! So stay tuned as we get closer to May 1st. I will be showing you a little bit more! Don't forget you still have a chance to shop from the Spring Catalog until April 30 and this month's special features the wonderful Duffle Bags which are only available for this month only!

Hosting can be fun...

I had the opportunity to host my own party. That is one of the things I like about being a consultant, we can get in on the fun too! When you are a Thirty One consultant, not only do you get to meet new people but you can also take part in the hosting.

My intentions was to have the party at my home, but it was turned into an online party instead. My goal for this party was to reach $500.00, being that this was the month for double host rewards. Every month with Thirty One hosts and customers are given a chance to take advantage of great deals. Like for instance this month, with every $31.00 you spend you get to purchase the "Keep it Caddy" for only $5.00! That is a $17.00 savings! Awesome right!

Now back to hosting a party...
When you are a host, the goal is to get as many friends and family involved so you can share this Thirty One experience! As I am growing my business I am learning that not a lot of people know what Thirty One is and what we have to offer. So make sure as a host you let them know they are in for a treat. Not only will they want to get their hands on these wonderful products, they are going to want to have a party too!

My job as a consultant is to make sure the host reach the goals she has set for her party. I want to learn what I can about the guests who are attending so I can target their needs and wants. The party success depends on how well I deliver Thirty One to the guests. There are fun games that can be played to get people excitement about different products that are being shown to them.

During my party I discover that my friends wanted things that will make their lives on the road easy. As some travel a lot and others who were planning for big trips in the future. So I wanted to show them some cute totes and cosmetic set to allow them to be prepared. The party was success as I met the minimum party requirement. I didn't reach my $500.00 goal but, I enjoyed providing my friends with items they are sure to love and will make their travels a breeze.

With a $200 party a host earns the following: $25.00 Host Credit, One 1/2 Off item and 1 Host Exclusives. Host Exclusives are a list a items that only the host can purchase. These items are not allowed for regular retail shopping. As a host I purchased a Fold and Go Organizer with the $25.00 Host Credit. What I like about this organizer is that it come with a notepad that matches the pattern of the organizer that you purchased. There is a zipper pouch on the inside that is great for storing little loose things you need such as business cards, money and much more. There is also a pocket on the other side that is great in my case for holding mini Thirty One catalogs.

With the Half Off item I purchased a Inside Out Tote! I love the inside out tote so much, that I just had to have it in another print. Party Punch is a one of my favorite patterns of the Spring Collection. So this was my choice for the Inside Out bag, which has a wondering green pattern on the inside. When make for a excellent summer color as well, so I am sure I will be using this bag for some months to come! What is so great about the Party Punch pattern is that you can get a wallet, coupon clutch, organizers, and other accessories.

Now for the fun part, the host exclusive! I was excited to actually purchases one of these items and I had a hard time choosing which one I wanted to get! But I thought in terms of the parties that I would be hosting in the future, so of course I had to go with the Perfect Party Set. This set is AWESOME! I know I say that a lot about Thirty One but the excitement I stress for the products is 100% authentic. Now this set, has layers of for food storage. You can fit a casserole dish in the bottom of the compartment. The set comes with matching spoon and fork to help serve your favorite dish on the go. There is also a top layer compartment for more storage and a great tag slot on the back so everyone knows who this wonderful set belongs to!

As you see hosting a party is not only fun but the rewards that come along with it is SWEET!!! Keep in mind the more your party sells the more your host rewards increases.

Thank your for stopping by! And remember the opportunity is yours, you just have to be willing to take it on! Don't miss out on the opportunity to join Thirty One for FREE, with the Opportunity Incentive that is going on right now until April 1st. Blessings to you all from your Thirty One consultant!

Spring Add On Kit

As a consultant you are given great opportunities to purchase items that will help you be successful with your business. For the Spring Collection that is coming soon...(well to be exact in just a few hours from now), we had the opportunity to buy what is called a "Add-On-Kit". In this kit we received the following new items that will be available for the spring:

* Cindy Tote in Black Cross Pop (I love this tote and think this is great way to carry my laptop and catalogs around with me on the go! And it's HUGE!!!)

* Hang-Up Family Organizer (I really like this one a lot, I love the color that was sent to us, but I will definitely be ordering one that will go with my kitchen decor so I can hang up in there to keep the kids homework and assignments tidy.)

Hang Up Room Organizer

* Hang-Up Room Organizer (My husband has already took a liking to this one and it's hanging up by his computer desk so he can use for his take home work.)

* Cosmetic Bag Set in Black Floral Brushstrokes (This little cosmetic bag is so neat! It fold down to saves space when traveling and it open up with pop up sides! I love this A LOT! I am not a big makeup person, but I love what you can put in this! )

* Out and About Thermal Tote in Black Floral Brushstrokes (This thermal is very spacious and the lining inside the tote will keep any goodies you want to pack away on a trip or picnic cool or warm!)

U R U Keep-it Up Caddy

* U R U Keep it Up Caddy in Pink Floral Brushstrokes (THIS IS MY FAVORITE IN THE WHOLE KIT! Yes, because it's pink. But because it's small but it has so many compartments that what you put in it can be endless! I know this is going to be a great necessity for my business so I will definitely be ordering a couple for myself.)

Your Way Cube

* Your way Cube in Woodblock Floral (This is my husband's favorite thing that came into the kit. It was pre-labeled to say recycle bin. So I am going to have to order him one that has a more appropriate label for his work. Right not he using it to hold all the paperwork he has to process, so I am guessing two would be perfect for him. One that says "Work To Do" and the other to say "Relax It's Done". I think he would love that!)

I can't wait to have parties this month so I can show all my current and new customers these great things. Don't forget that Spring Collection is available for shopping in just a few hours, so get those pocket books ready! These items listed and MUCH MUCH MUCH more will be available!  Shel's Thirty One Site and you will find the online catalog and you can begin shopping under the Spring Launch Party! Have fun!
