If you would like any further information on buying Elizabeth Hodkin products, hosting a party or event, or the Elizabeth Hodkin Business Opportunity please do not hesitate to contact us.
We have compiled answers to the questions most frequently asked by new consultants below:
Q: How much does it cost to get started?
It's easy to start your own Elizabeth Hodkin business, simply complete your registration online or with the Consultant who introduced you and start with the Standard Starter kit @ £150 which contains silver jewellery and all the sales aids and display items you will need to hold your first parties.
Q: How many parties do I have to hold?
There is no requirement to hold a set amount of parties. You can do as few or as many as you like. You decide on how much free time you have and how much you want to earn. Many of our Consultants hold daytime parties or coffee mornings. It really is a 'job' that fits around your family life. We do ask that you hold at least 4 parties in your first 90 days to be able to keep your kit.
Q: How much do I earn?
All Consultants start with a 20% discount; this can rise to 30% depending on your level of personal sales you achieve each month. In addition there are generous recruitment and team building rewards available to you.
Q: How often does the range of jewellery change and am I expected to order a lot of stock?
We do not advise our Consultants to hold stock. We launch 3 additional collections alongside our core collection throughout the year and you will have the opportunity to purchase these for your kit at a heavily discounted price should you wish to.
Q: Do I have to purchase a specific amount of products each month?
No, you can order as much or as little as you wish. To qualify for bonus payments, you need to meet the volume criteria in the months in which you wish to be paid bonuses.
Q: How much do the catalogues cost?
We include 10 catalogues in your kit and then you can purchase catalogues at £10 for 25. These are an invaluable tool to invest in for generating parties and sales.
Q: Do I need a car?
No you don't, but it's an advantage.
Q: How much do I pay for deliveries? And how long does it take for an order to arrive?
Your parcels are delivered by courier and the charge for that is £6, however if the order value is above £400 that charge is reduced to £4. You can place your order online 24/7 and orders are processed in the order they are received. We aim to ship with 5 working days of receipt.
Q: Is there an age limit?
Yes, you will need to be 18 years old or over.
Q: Can I sell to shops?
Unfortunately you can't. We operate only as a direct selling business and do not supply any retail outlets. However you are able to promote and sell at fairs, gyms, offices etc. which is very popular especially at Christmas. However the best way to build a business is through the Party Plan channel.
