Of all the
direct sales jewelry companies I'm familiar with that you can sign up with to
earn money, Stella & Dot is
almost always one of the first to come to mind.
You can sign up as a Stella
and Dot Stylist and earn money selling their unique brand of jewelry,
which is best described as a step above costume jewelry, although not quite fine jewelry.
However, they do have
some pieces made of 24 and 14 kt gold, sterling silver, and they also use
semi-precious stones.
Stella and Dot
has been around since 2006, and their stuff is nice enough that they already have several celebrities
that wear their jewelry.
I don't currently own any
of their pieces, but just browsing through their catalog, it all looks very
tasteful and as though it would appeal to a variety of different people with
all kinds of tastes. Gorgeous stuff!
While the company is best
known for their jewelry, they also offer things like handbags, sunglasses, and
other accessories. Pretty much everything is under $50.
Stella and Dot Review:
How much money can you earn from
Stella and Dot jewelry sales?
You earn 25 to 35 percent
off all your jewelry sales, and you can earn even more commission off other
people you refer to become Stella and Dot stylists.
This commission rate varies
depending on your stylist rank and monthly sales amount. There are also bonuses
and other incentives you might occasionally qualify for.
How much does it cost to get started with
Stella and Dot?
You have to pay about $99
to get your startup kit (limited time promo), in addition to tax and shipping.
You can pick out between lots of jewelry and accessories to get started.
These are pieces you can
keep for yourself, but you will also need to use them as samples for potential
customers looking to buy from you.
As a Stella and Dot
stylist, you will also qualify for a 50 percent off discount if you want
more jewelry in addition to what you got in your starter kit.
The kit you get after
signing up to start your business as a Stella and Dot stylist comes with some
business supplies, but you must order any not included in the kit.
Do you have to have home parties with
Stella and Dot?
Stella and Dot calls
these “trunk shows,” and of course it's a good idea to have them. However,
you can also sell their products individually and online.
Social selling is HUGE
right now, so it's really easy to take parties outside of your home and have them on Facebook,
setting up “events” and inviting everyone you're friends with, then encouraging
those people to invite their friends to your event as well.
This is great because it
will allow you to sell outside your own social circle, and outside your local
area.
As an added bonus,
hostesses who hold these events for you can get up to 25% in your total sales
in free Stella and Dot products. A good incentive for them.
Is there a minimum sales amount to remain
active with Stella and Dot?
No, there are no minimums
to remain active. This is a definite perk that separates this company from so
many others because those quotas are common. You do have to meet certain sales
requirements to keep earning off your referrals, however.
Do you get your own website with Stella and
Dot?
Yes, as a Stella and Dot
Stylist, you get an e-boutique so you can sell their stuff online and earn
commission.
There is a website renewal
fee every year, around $100, but this is fairly typical for the direct sales
industry. Most companies will make you pay for your website, usually around $10
a month.
Should you sign up?
Stella & Dot is a
top notch direct sales company and they've been around long enough now that
their reputation in the direct selling industry is very solid.
However, it goes without
saying that the money won't just fall into your lap. You'll
have to put yourself out there to make some sales and get the ball rolling.
Not everyone will make it work.
With jewelry companies,
products often do sell themselves. This can happen (and I've seen it happen
with friends of mine) where you'll be out and about wearing the jewelry and
complete strangers will ask about it, where you got it, etc. The sale sometimes
happens pretty easily that way.
Just as it is with any
direct selling company, there's no guarantee you'll make money if you sign up.
But, regardless of how it turns out, you get to keep all the
jewelry you invest in at the start.
