Catalog Parties ........

It has been a very eventful few weeks!
I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas.
As promised I am going to tell you about the Catalog Parties.... These are great for those that can't do home parties, but still want to earn FREE product!

These are the simplest to do. You basically take the catalog with you where ever you go and take orders! I do these for a week. You turn in the orders and payment together and when the orders come in I deliver them to you. As a host of a catalog party you receive 15% of sales in free product. so if you sale $200 (before tax and shipping) you will get $3o in free product! If you sale $300(before tax & shipping) or more you will receive the 15% in free product and a surprise gift valued at $25.00. Book yours today!

The deals I offer through my Home Parties and Catalog Parties are offered only through me as an Ind. Candle Consultant. Each Consultant is different and may offer different specials.

Specials and information..............

Boy its cold!!!! I finally reached 29 degrees today! The last couple of nights have been in the mid teens. I am very happy that I have a wood stove. Central heat is great, but it doesn't get down into my bones like wood heat. That is my opinion of course.
Well, Christmas is just about a week away. I know that most of you probably have more on your minds than booking a Candle Party, but I promised that I would get some information posted and right now I have a few minutes and there is no time like the present as they say.

For the month of January there are a couple of deals that I would like to tell you about.

1. For the entire month of January all orders are 10% off including orders done online!

You can order through me if your local and I can deliver them to you once they come in.(Takes approx 2 weeks for time of placing the order. If you order online you need to enter in this code: mary (all lowercase). Online orders are shipped in 3-5 days of placing the order.
I know that ordering through me can take up to a week longer, but the plus side of that is that it is cheaper. I place all my orders together (bulk) and the shipping is cheaper. I charge 10% for Shipping and 7.25% in tax.

• All orders over $50.00 ( before tax and S&H) get a free tart chunk pk in the scent of their choice.

If you order on line you will need to contact me and let me know so that I can get your shipping information and send you your free tart chunk. If you order through me, I will add it to your order to be delivered with your order. This can be combined with the 10% off special. To get the free Tart Chunk the order has to be $50.00 after the 10% has been taken off.

Now on the Candle Parties:

Hostess Benefits:

1. On parties of $150 or more receive 15% of the party sales in FREE product AND for each $250 in sales get one item for 50% off.
2. Parties that have 10 or more guests you receive 1 FREE bottle of Room Spray in the scent of your choice.
3. Get 3 Bookings at the party and you receive and additional $30.00 in FREE product. (Once the parties have all been held). Each additional party booked over the 3 you get another $5 in FREE product.
4. You will receive a Hostess Gift valued at $25.00

As you can see there are several ways to earn free product, just by having a Candle Party!

As an added bonus I will wave the minimum requirement and give you 15% of total sales!

Candle Parties are a fun way to spend time with your friends. Book your party today to reserve the date you want! FYI: If you want your orders back by a specific time, like Valentines day, Easter, Mother's Day, etc., You will want to book your party 2 weeks before.
My Local area is North West Arkansas.

In my next blog I will tell you about Catalog Parties and How you can become a Ranch House Consultant for less than $25.00!

So, until next time....................

Christmas already??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I cant believe that Christmas is less than 2 weeks away! I Just finished Grocery Shopping for the big dinner. This year is the first year that I will host Christmas Dinner at my house. It just my family(plus parents and siblings) and my Best Friend and her family. There will be about 22 guests, my husband and I are doing the cooking, so this should be very interesting. This year we adults are doing only for the kids. And everything is home made. I felt that this is just as good a time as any to teach my little girl that Christmas isn't all about store bought gifts. With the economy being as it is right now....well, you know how it is.
I want to tell everyone Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

RHC is down for the holidays and will be back up taking orders Jan 5th. I will be posting specials and more information soon.

A Bit of Background........

I figure the best way to get started is to give a bit of background in hopes that some of this may make sense.
I have been married for 6 years to a wonderful man. And we have a beautiful 3 year old daughter. I have worked in many fields and have finally found the one that I really love!
In my years I have worked in fast food. I pressed clothes at the local dry cleaners. I have managed 2 different fast food restaurants, even moved to another state to do so for one. I have driven an 18 wheeler. The last job I held, I truly loved. I was a CNA. I had been a CNA for over 5 years. I loved working with my elders and giving them the quality of life that they may not have gotten. I like to believe that I made a difference in their lives. I would still be doing it today if my health would have let me.
Now I am a stay at home mom. I started selling Candles for Ranch House Candles back at the end of May. At that point I hadn't done any kind of direct sales, but I needed something that I could do at my own pace and my own schedule.
When I looked at the different things I could sale, I decided I wanted something that I could believe in and that the market in my area wasn't flooded with. I found both in RHC. There weren't any other reps anywhere near my area and I absolutely believe in the product.
At RHC we use 100% Soy wax. A replenishable resourse that is good for the environment as well. Aside from the "green" side of the product there is also the variety of scents and the fact that I wasn't over whelmed by a multitude of different kinds of items to sale. The customer service I received right off the bat was un-real. I have since found it very comforting that I can call and ask any question and I get to talk to the owners and I dont feel like the little person down the line on a totem pole. I feel as passionate about the product as the owners do.
There isn't any thing hidden. You know exactly what you are getting and what to expect and to me that is very important.
When I was growing up, so to speak, I was never one to stand up in front of others and do a speach. There was no way you could budge me from the back of the room. Now, it is so easy, so natural. I don't even think about it anymore.
I hope to be able to use this "virtual diary" for many different things. I need it to vent, praise, and hash out things. I will try to get up to date, asap. But for now I must go and attend to my 3yr old, lol. Life's little things are so wonderful! So, until next time, Take Care!

In the beginning......

Well, this is the first time that I have ever attempted to do something of this nature so please bear with me. Yes! A newby!!!
Since I have started my own business, I have found that I need to have an outlet to vent or to rejoice.
This will be very interesting to see how far it goes! Have a wonderful Holiday Season!!!!!!!!!!
