Post image for Jewelry Home Party Business Comparison

In the home party business world, jewelry companies are hot! I’ve been invited to 3 this month… all with good attendance, all with good sales and each party was with a different company. I’ve got to say, I indulged a little too much at each party. But it’s jewelry, how can you say no?

If you are thinking about joining a jewelry home party company, here’s a little “side by side” comparison. I selected these companies randomly as a sampling of what is available. There are many more jewelry companies other than what I have listed. Read the reviews on some of these companies and others by clicking here.

Before joining a company, be sure to contact a consultant to get more details. Although this information is a helpful start, there are many other factors to consider.

Thanks for doing this! One point about sign up fees with Silpada, as soon as you have your first qualified party (10 orders/$500 retail), you will receive a $200 certificate for free jewelry. You can also earn up to $3000 in free jewelry during your first 100 days as a representative. Visit http://www.mysilpada.com to find a local consultant. Good luck!
