Some of the great things Thirty-One offers you to join:

It is only $99 to get started and you get over $300 in products!! Your minimum sales to stay active are $200 per rolling 3 month time period…which I can see will be so easy to achieve!!! Thirty-One pays you 25% commission (and you can get a check or direct deposit on the 10th of each month). In addition, your commission percentage will increase as you promote! It is so great…they do not charge you to accept credit cards, they cover hostess rewards/freebies...and more!!

Your kit is expected to ship from Thirty-One in 2-3 business days. The great thing about Thirty-One is you schedule when you want to work!! You pick your hours…so they are flexible around YOUR schedule!! You can also set up online or catalog parties!! We also sell “Party to Go” kits (or you can create your own), where you can give your hostess just a few items…so she can show them to her friends and families!! Catalog or Online parties are super easy and a fun way to supplement your party business!!

If you scroll down here is a list of what you will get with the new Spring/Summer kit. Just read below and let me know what other questions you might have!! It is great to start your business with a brand new, fresh catalog!!

Becoming a consultant is the best way to be able to host YOUR party!! Not only do you receive the hostess rewards, but it is the perfect way to launch your new career or hobby!!

There is an alternate kit for $149. This kit allows you to choose your monogramming, as well as your fabrics. It’s just a personal choice...Thirty-One does a great job of making selections; it just depends on what you want. (I am choosing the $99 kit because it takes a little longer to get the $149 kit since it's not "in stock"--they have to make your new items. Plus in May-June, you get your $99 kit free--Keep reading and I'll tell you how!)

Please let me know if you have questions during the enrollment process or need my assistance! When you are ready to sign up go to my website which I will post when I get it tomorrow and choose Join My Team! You will know you have successfully signed up when you receive a welcome message with your Consultant ID #.

Alright, drum roll please...(I've kept you waiting long enough I know!)

Any new Consultant who enrolls between May 1st and June 30th and qualifies in her first 30 days will earn a $99 rebate for her kit. If she chooses the $99 Kit and qualifies in 30 days, she’ll basically start her business for FREE! Those who select the $149 Kit and qualify in 30 days can earn a $99 rebate as well, making their initial investment only $50! Thirty-One is offering us a chance to begin a great business, get $300 in super-cute products and do it all FOR FREE!!!

Qualifying in 30 days is a great start to your business, but doing it in 60 days isn’t “half-bad” either ~ so Consultants who qualify in 60 days will earn back ½ of the rebate ($49.50)! New Consultants who choose the $149 Kit can earn the $49.50 rebate as well by qualifying in their first 60 days!

Now I don't know about you, but I LOVE ME SOME FREE STUFF!!!! Which is why I'm taking advantage of this great rebate special too! I am waking up bright and early tomorrow to start my Thirty-One business! So if anyone wants to sign up with me, I'll be up and running with my new website first thing tomorrow morning--EARLY! I'll be more than happy to help you sign up under my website the same day I do! We can be Thirty-One twin (triplet, quadruplet, quintuplet, sextuplet, etc) sistas!!

PLEASE email me with any questions that you have about the Thirty-One business or if you would like to host a party! My email address is amandaloves31@yahoo.com. I'm so excited to start helping everyone get all the cute Thirty-One gear they want!!

Info about Thirty-One Gifts Company

Since I am such an information junkie, I have been researching this company to death before I decided to sign up. I knew I loved the products, but just wasn't sure if I loved the company enough to put my name with it! Needless to say, what I found out made me love Thirty-One even more! So I thought I would do a post to let everyone know what exactly it is I fell in love with about Thirty-One--besides the AWESOME bags, totes, purses, etc!!

I know when Sarah showed me the catalog, one of the first things I did (after gushing about the CUTENESS of everything) was to ask "Why the name Thirty-One?" Are there 31 different main bags? Are there 31 different patterns? 31 flavors...wait--wrong company! But seriously, why the number 31? What I found out blew me away. Thirty-One is a faith based company that gets its name from Proverbs 31 in the Bible which talks about the virtuous woman:

10 [a] A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. 14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. 15 She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. 16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. 18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. 19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. 20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. 21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. 22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. 23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. 24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. 25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. 26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. 27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 29 "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. 31 Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

I am so excited to be able to work for a company that is faith based! I have always struggled with finding opportunities to share God with people I don't know...now I think I've found a great way! All I have to do is carry a super cute tote, purse, bag, etc. and just wait for the question that I know I asked: "Why the name Thirty-One?"

Thirty-One's founder Cindy Monroe started this company in 2003 because she felt it was time for working mom’s, single women, and even grandmothers to get a chance to shop on their terms. The "About Thirty-One" link on the main company website states it best:

"Our mission is to celebrate, encourage and reward women through offering quality products and an outstanding opportunity to become successful business owners. We have seen this mission played out across the years in the individual lives of so many women who now have their own 'Thirty-One Story'. Our products are exclusive to Thirty-One and provide style and convenience at an amazingly affordable price. From our signature purses and totes to kid's items and accents for the home, you'll find something to fit every personality and situation. We continue to develop new products built on the idea that our products must be stylish, functional, affordable and easy to give as gifts to encourage someone special."

Since 2002, Thirty-One has grown to have over 10,000 consultants nationwide! They are still seeing thousands of women find their passion through owning their very own Thirty-One business. Many work full time jobs and use their Thirty-One income to help pay for those extras in life like vacations, cars, and shopping sprees. Others have seen Thirty-One become a lifeline to their families in difficult economic times.

Maybe you would like to have your own business through Thirty-One. The doors are wide open. I'll post later on about the GREAT sign-up bonus Thirty-One has running from May 1 through June 30. I'll give you a hint...You could sign up basically for FREE!!! Intrigued?? Stay tuned to my blog for that info...
