Bamboo Pink is a new direct sales jewelry company formed by Jude Steel, Frances Gadbois and partner Debbie Millar. Making use of designs of co-founder Francis Gadbois, the company will feature jewelry pieces starting at $19.00 with the prices topping out at $100.
Bamboo Pink is introducing their company using a direct marketing approach. Consultants will be encouraged to use home parties to present the distinctively designed pieces of jewelry made available by the company. These group meetings will focus on individual expansion of each consultant's business by promoting the product line and business opportunity. The company's mantra is "Opportunity, achievement and success" as stated on the company's internet site. The back office system provided with the consultant's personalized website will contain tools to aid the consultant in managing their business building efforts. Personal instruction and training are a vital part of the assistance that Bamboo Pink will offer to their consultants.
Bamboo Pink is making 10 streams of income available to each consultant. Although an in depth compensation plan was not found on the company's webpage, the plan was found on a distributor's personal website. The plan uses a unilevel structure and has a depth of 7 levels which include the highest payouts on the 2nd and 7th levels of the plan. Fast start incentives of 20% along with team incentives, global bonuses, bonus pools and car bonuses add to the 30% commission that each consultant earns off of retail sales.
Here are a few things to be concerned about during the Bamboo Pink pre-launch phase. There is very little information presented on the company's main webpage. The biographical information link for the founders biographical information was not a valid link. Specifics pertaining to the company's compensation plan and start up costs were not made easily available to prospective Bamboo Pink consultants.
The prospective Bamboo Pink consultant has numerous choices available when looking at well-known direct marketing jewelry sales companies. JudeFrances is a prominent boutique jewelry line but it remains to be seen if they can successfully penetrate the direct marketing arena. Hopefully the problems already mentioned will be addressed when the company goes live around April 2011.
While home parties have always been a staple in the multi level marketing industry, they have also been a very difficult business to build. Attraction marketing and the use of technology in expanding the scope of one's business building activities are critical fundamentals to anyone that would be considering joining Bamboo Pink.
