Deb Barlett, Home Business Job Fair Vendor

New to her companies, multi-tasker, Deb Bartlett represents two companies at the home business job fair.

This being Bartlett’s first event, she found out about this particular event at CraftLister.com. Deb represents both Stuff a Friend (that she’s been with for about 3 months) and The Greeting Cake Company (that she’s been with for about 5 months).

Mrs. Bartlett joined these companies because the product and company were something different to her local area and both very easy businesses to run. She’s also enjoying the low or no start up fees and the fact that she can run both businesses her way.

Being new to these businesses she does not yet have a downline with either business and works them about 8 hours a week on each business. When asked if she could only bring one thing to an event such as this Deb replied that she’d bring her products because they will sell themselves. “Ask everyone you know and always talk about your business,” shares Barlett.

A little more about Stuff a Friend…

Stuff a Friend carries un-stuffed animals and dolls, similar to the popular mall store and many other new products are being added frequently. Kids stuff the kits themselves.

SAF does not have any territory restrictions nor any requirements to hold home parties.

Representatives can purchase promotional materials via the company website, use their own resources or even make their own.

SAF does not have any quotas for representatives to meet.

There is no requirement to keep inventory however, it certainly helps to have a few animals on hand to show prospecting customers.

SAF does offer company websites which are give to each representative for free.

Representatives will be responsible for any hostess credits/gifts that the representative would set up. SAF parties are not like a traditional home party so there usually is nothing like this.

SAF shipping and handling prices start at $5.00 and then vary depending on order sizes. Delivery time of 2 weeks is a good time frame to advise customer but can be less.

Stuff a Friend does offer dropshipping.

Commissions are distributed via paypal for orders placed through representatives websites. Representatives sell at retail and purchase at wholesale (approximately 30% off) so they’re paid immediately for all offline sales.

Paypal, credit cards, checks and cash are accepted methods of payment with no minimum purchases.

Stuff a Friend does have a unique fundraising opportunity as they’re able to be held online and for an ongoing basis.

There are no start up fees for SAF and the starter kits pricing varies as there is a lot of different kits to choose from.

SAF does not offer a lot of hands on training but does offer advice, tips, tricks etc to help you run your business and has an active message board for representatives.

Representatives are responsible for their own taxes for all offline orders. Online orders are taken care of by SAF.

Representatives may advertise online.

Please note that any of the above is subject to change and was true at the time of this writing. Please be sure to contact the coordinator below with any questions, comments, concerns and/or changes.
