the christmas cards are nice, i sold 2 packs yesterday but they were the £2.50 ones... i guess its horses for courses, not everyone wants cheap.

well done on your first orders.

Hi Clarew, did you know that you do not have to pay postage on your 1st order (well your 2nd as your business kit, etc is viewed as your 1st). Think you have about 28 days from date of signing up. Suggest you call Head Office to check this out. I've just received my first order and can't wait to do my deliveries!

yes, thanks cowsandcards, i had read that....was wondering whether to do an order including a christmas pack (new traders are still able to order this within 30days of signing up) using the free delivery. I have given my friends half term to have a browse and will then place an order once kids back at school!

Quick Q, does everyone keep their phoenix stuff in a separate bank account so they can track profit (minus delivery/stock etc) or not? Just being nosey!

It's me again with ideas that have worked for me....

I tied up in gold organza ribbon an Advent Calender, Christmas Wishes Pack, 2 packs of £2.50 Christmas cards and 3 packs of paper chains-sold! Did 4 packs and sold the 4 packs! B4 that I'd only sold 2 advent calenders in total.

Am convinced it's all about suggestion-put a selection of 5 or 10 floral cards together and tie with ribbon, do a 'pink' or 'football/sport' themed display.
People end up buying more when they see it all together, I've halved the number of people buying just 2 or 3 cards (tho' this is obviously still good!!!) and people are spending more.

I've started to stock about 5 of several (about 15 ) designs of cards and when people see more of the same one they are more inclined to have a look-grabs their attention more. Cupcakes, fairy cakes, golf, football, 'dictionary of......', lavender, beach huts/other blue cards etc etc

HTH!!

Just been flicking through the website, and really liking the whole idea. How do I get started with it? how much money have people made out of it so far?

I opened a basic bank account to pay cheques in etc. since I prefer to keep my self-employed earnings seperate from my main bank account.

If you contact Phoenix Trading, they will send you an information pack for prospective new Trader's.

Sales commission is 30%, and there are also bonuses available, for example, if you order £125 of Phoenix products (this excludes sales aids) you will receive a 5% bonus from Phoenix. If you sponsor a new Trader, you will receive a 5% bonus of their personal volume (the amount they purchase from Phoenix) in addition to your 5% bonus for spending £125 with Phoenix. So there is a good earning potential.
