Candle Party
Some people may think is she going crazy but no i am not!!!!
On Friday night i played host to about 20 lovely ladies for a Candle Party - yes ladies and gents you have heard it all now!
Ok so let me explain myself . . .
I am an Avon rep in my spare time (which for the past couple of weeks i haven't had much of).
I have made many plans to boom my business on the Avon side of things but somehow i always managed to get sidetracked! Not good!
So the Candle Party is kind of like an Avon party but a lady comes to your place and explains to your guests everything they need to know about different candles - there are Votives, Tealights (Everyone knows these!), Ball candles (i will tell you what i thought about these in a sec!), Pillar candles etc etc etc...
So she goes on with her hour long spiel and people listen as attentively as they can manage after 3 - 4 glasses of decent red, white and rose wine (choices ladies!).
She then starts handing out catalogues and all you can then here is the clinking of glasses hitting the floor and wallets flying open - this was quite good for me as i get a free gift if i sell over £165 i will get to my total in a minute!
So after the orders are written she then shrieks at my poor guests to "Hush!!!" - RAFFLE TIME!
Eyes down ladies and my auntie and her next door neighbour won both prizes! - Not fair but hey hey i got my free gift - out of all the orders the were placed the total was £240 - i was CHUFFED with myself for my presentation of cheesy balls and wine selection and entertainment to the children provided by my puppy!!!
Thanks to my little list above i can get a £50 free gift or voucher so i can safely say all creds to me!!
If all the above is waffle to you about what a candle party is click on this link - PartyLite.
I hope it all makes sense now - the lady that was the "Candle Expert" tried to talk me into being a consultant but my take on it was - i am struggling with my avon at the moment why load myself up like a pack horse with more!
So how have y'all been lately?
I hope good but if not keep ya head up - things will flow well
xXxS*BxXx
Added extras!!! - I did say that i was going to tell you about my take on the ball candles - well all i think is needed to be said is the expert lady told me that they come in pairs both have soft centres and one is smaller than the other!!!!!
(I almost wet myself!)
Nuff said!
