Those designs are super cute. I would buy them (once I finish my volunteer year and have real income).

Winner Winner! What do I get?

I have an OO necklace. Put twin stars, a Theta Greek letter, and some black and gold stones in it. It is really cute! Wish they had a little kite charm but they didn't at the time I bought mine. I'm about to gift it to an active that has done a great job in her office.

AzTheta, I knew you would have one since it's an AZ based business! I'm going to suggest a kite charm once I get approved to sell. And a teddy bear (how do they not have teddy bears????).

I'll buy another from you when you get started :-) the one I bought is the rose gold, but I would like something different for myself. The party I went to was so much fun - and people had no trouble buying! wishing you good luck!!!!!

Those are really cute designs.

I am a Primerica representative. It is a fiancial company that only does business through referrals. And it looks like you've done your homework with this company. I agree that building a relationship with the chapters is a great idea. Also don't forget abour the fraternities since they could buy a gift for there girlfriend or sister or mother.

I'd never heard of the company before. I really like all the options. Whenever things like this come up, I'm always jealous of the sororities that have more common symbols. It's rare to find a dagger or katydid.

I feel ya, sweet. It's tough finding kites too! Twin stars are a good alternative and more common. There was a KD locket on pinterest that had letters and gemstones in your colors. It was still very cute!

Hey flirt, the "xi" charm is really CUTE! they have double blue and gold stones... just some ideas - no quill, but some other alternative choices.

And WC: do a search on a couple of the selling sites for daggers. Pretty cool stuff! but not tiny enough to put in the locket.

I agree about checking how many consultants are in your area. I've noticed an explosion of Origami Owl consultants in my area of the country recently. When I say explosion I mean I could probably name 10-12 people who either have just started selling or are holding a party to gauge interest in maybe becoming a consultant. Good luck!

I did Partylite for a while and loved the product, still do. We had recently moved to the area with no established family/friends, so I had a really tough time. Probably wasn't the right move at the time, but I wanted to do something to get out and meet people. I was treated fairly, didn't carry inventory, no cash out of pocket as my kickoff party went really well so at least I didn't have to pay anything to start.

Quick hijack: I actually do wear a dagger necklace almost everyday. It's small enough that it looks like a cross unless you are staring at it or are looking for the symbol. I actually bought a bunch and gave them to my grandlittles. I can't find a picture of it now of course. When I do find something with daggers that isn't too gothic looking, I tend to post it or email sisters about it. There needs to be a network!

Back to our regularly scheduled thread.

AOIIalum, I would be the second in my county. My friend was the first. I plan on catering to greek chapters at Ohio State, Ohio University, Capital U, Otterbein U, etc. It is a fairly new thing in Ohio. None of my friends in my hometown have heard of it yet. I had my friend check the O2 website, and she said there's 2 sellers in my husbands hometown, and 2 in my hometown, yet none of our family or friends in those towns have heard of it yet. There's only 20 in all of Columbus. That is why I'm jumping on now! Get while the gettin is good!

According to the website, the founder was 14 when she started the company?! And she can't be more than 17 now. Wow.
