Company: Ice Jewellery
Job Title: Jewellery Consultant
Description:
Are you looking for an opportunity that allows you to work from home, earn extra money and be your own boss? Becoming an Ice Party Consultant really is as flexible as you want it to be. Whether you need a short term income to clear some debts or want to start a long term career, Ice Jewellery is the company you have been looking for. The fun part is booking a party and demonstrating our beautiful Silver Jewellery and charm beads to your Hostess and her guests. Customers place orders with you through trying on the jewellery and viewing our catalogue and you earn up to 30% commission. At an average ICE Jewellery party our consultants earn £60 – not bad for a couple of hours work! You will earn up to 30% commission on anything you sell and meet new friends along the way!
Investment Required: There is a small investment of £149 for a starter kit that contains just over £300 worth of our beautiful jewellery and all the necessary goodies you'll need to get you partying straight away. Other than that the only investment is a hostess pack for each party at £5 (most of the consultants do a raffle that covers this and their petrol though!)
Hours: We never set any targets, its totally up to you how little or often you work! You will only ever get back as much as you put in! As an average our parties last 2 hours and most of our consultants spend a few hours each week on marketing.
Salary/Wage: The average party tends to be around £250 so most of our consultants earn around £60 upwards per party. As the busy Christmas season approaches though this increases substantially!
Best Suited To: Anyone who has some spare few hours a week, is self motivated and loves to meet new people!

How often do you work?
I try to carry out at least 2 parties a week, but in the run up to Christmas it could be every evening if I wanted to work that much. There's never any pressure to hold a minimum amount of parties - I just do it because I love it!
How does the job fit around your family life?
I mostly do parties in the evening when my hubby can look after our boys but sometimes I'll do the occasional event during the day when they are at Nursery. Everything is easy to set up and transport and all the deliveries come packaged up for me, so there really is little for me to do other than carry out the parties!
How much time do you commit?
I do follow up phone calls to all my hostesses which takes about 1-2 hours a week, the paperwork is minimal so takes about half and hour and then the actual party is around 2 hours. Depending on how many parties I do a week I would say between 3 1/2 hours upwards per week is devoted to partying.
Where do you carry out your work?
I have a desk in the corner of my bedroom for all my kit and paperwork. That's the good thing about jewellery - it takes up next to no room!
Do you need a car?
I would recommend having a car as you can't get out as far to do parties if you don't.
Do you get support/training?
Ice Jewellery constantly send you training materials and party tips. They have special offers and competitions and the owner is always on hand for that added personal contact. Their website is also a valuable source of information, including training materials, videos and loads more.
Would you recommend this opportunity to other mums?
I would definitely recommend Ice Jewellery to anyone. It's an easy party with no facials or demos to do, and it really does just sell itself! The company are a family-run business and are very helpful and friendly and always on the end of the phone if any queries arise. I've been with them for nearly 3 years and love it (the money comes in handly too!).
