When you look at the name Once Upon A Family, you don’t immediately think of an income opportunity. You think more about a story book or maybe a game or the name of someone’s family history. But to think of a home based business, it just didn’t come mind at first for me.
But thinking about it, what a great theme and opportunity for those who do have a family and want to make some extra money. This would be something that everyone would like to know more about, bringing the family closer to one another and making and preserving memories.
Once Upon A Family has a way to preserve those memories in an heirloom style, creating a new family tradition. They will help you to create and preserve your family genealogy and do it in a way that will be handed down for generations.
Every month Once Upon A Family has a Themed Celebration and the host has the opportunity to host one every month. Not only does this benefit the host by giving her free products, but also helps the representative to have regular sales and parties all throughout the year at really no extra effort of her own.
Each theme is based on an upcoming holiday and they provide a value-of-the-month. As a Once Upon A Family consultant, you will be teaching a new Tradition Idea for that month. The themes are:
o January – Gifts of Love
o February – Follow your Dreams
o March – Compassion
o April – Feel Joy by Giving Joy
o May – Kinds of Responsibility
o June – Encourage Courage
o July – Our Family, Our Faith
o August – Ways to Cherish Family
o September – Peace
o October – Honesty
o November – Showing Gratitude
o December – Patience
There are five ways that you can earn income with Once Upon A Family. I will give a brief description of each below to give you an idea of your options.
1. Celebration Sales – This is sharing the tradition ideas and products at a Home Celebration where you can earn 20-40% on your personal sales. You may earn up $100 to $200 per $500 Celebration. The more you hold, obviously, the more you make.
2. Live, Laugh, Love Club Sales – This is a club that you can start with your friends, church group, your neighbors or even moms from your kids school. You will be earning commissions on all the products that are sold, and you don’t even have to be there.
3. Catalog and Personal Website Sales – They have a “6-Ways Marketing Brochure” that you can leave with anyone and everyone. You will be able to invite them to look at your website and take the Free Family Ties Test, and get a personal report giving them ideas on what they can do to bring their family closer.
4. Share Family Traditions – Many consultants share this concept with women groups who meet on a regular basis in their area. You can join your local MOPS, PTA, or church group. You will make new friends and be able to bring Once Upon A Family up and tell them how much they would love it.
5. Build a Once Upon a Family Team of Consultants – You will be hosting a lot of Celebrations in the homes of many women. They will be impressed with the products and the ideas, and will probably want to share it with their family and friends. By sharing your business and recruiting others, you will earn a percentage of their sales on top of your 20-40% commission.
To get started as a Once Upon A Family consultant, you will need to purchase a business kit. The retail value of this kit is $350 and you will be able to purchase it for $149. It will include all of your business supplies and a variety of products from each category. Their categories, of course, are all family based. Great opportunity with traditions with great products.
