Stella & Dot trunk shows

I have been having so much fun as a Stella & Dot stylist, and so glad I made the decision to just go for it! Within my first month, I have held 2 trunk shows and am well on my way to earning back everything I invested to get started.

I've also developed a healthy addiction to jewelry. I browse the website daily and keep adding things to my wish list. Luckily, I've hit a few "jumpstarts" which are ways for stylists to earn money to go towards jewelry samples in their first two months. So far I've racked up $500 and have been ordering jewelry like crazy. It's fun to have such a large selection, and makes picking out an outfit in the morning actually fun!

My first trunk show I held was for myself. You're allowed to have two per calendar year, which means you not only get the commission from the sales, but also get to reap the rewards as a hostess. Double the benefits! I invited some of my coworkers over to my new place, and we tried on jewels while drinking wine. That trunk show is actually still active online, so I've been continuing to add any other orders I get towards that.

The second trunk show was for my sorority alumnae group. We meet once a month, so I thought it might be fun to bring my new jewelry collection to share. I was surprised with how much interest there was! Since I couldn't be the "hostess" for this one, I set it up so that whoever makes a purchase will have their name thrown into a drawing. Once the show closes online on Sept 14th, I'll draw a name and that girl will earn the rewards to shop for free jewelry and for half off. Any Chi O's out there that want to get in on the action can shop here and I'll be sure your name gets added to the mix for a chance to win.

I've also gotten the chance to spend more time with Danielle, and we've been having a great time. She's also been a such a big help, and fun to have someone to do this with.
