What Are You Waiting For?

How It Works

1. Decide where you are partying! A party in your home, a big sale at your church fellowship hall, garden party, girl's night out in a restaurant, at church before or after services, late night in the dorm, your office, a pool party?

2. Fill out the application form to register and schedule your party. Please register approximately 4 weeks before your party or contact us to schedule it sooner. During the fall holiday season our calendar will fill fast so be sure to register early.

3. Pay the $49 down payment.  You will receive credit for this when you send in the sales from your trunk show. If you have hosted a sale in the past with us through your church or school, it is not necessary to send the $49.  If you are hosting for a church, it is not necessary to send the $49. 

4. You will receive the merchandise about 1 week before your party along with literature to show guests. Please verify quantities received. Let us know if you would like to have a DVD about our Fair Trade work in Guatemala.

5. Send out invites – by email, phone, text or card to friends, family, neighbors, co-workers.

6. Have your party -- but don't stop there! Take the merchandise to work or church and show to more people. Perhaps you can sell all the merchandise for the artisans.

7. Total up your sales at the end of 3 weeks and send the money to our office for the sales along with any unsold merchandise using the prepaid return label. Education And More pays shipping both ways.

8. You may keep 10% of the total sales to help pay for your expenses but consider donating all your proceeds to help more women and children!

9. Encourage a friend to have a party and help more women and children!

 

More Information
