Origami Owl Review

I first learned about Origami Owl from a magazine article. The company was founded in 2010 by an entrepreneurial 14-year-old who started selling personalized jewelry in order to earn money to buy a car when she turned 16. Today Origami Owl sells its jewelry online and at home parties and events through its Independent Designers.

There are many home party companies that sell jewelry, but Origami Owl took it one step further and lets customers create personalized jewelry by choosing their own locket, charms, chain, hand-stamped metal plates, and dangles. Plus, most of Origami Owl's jewelry sells for less than $25.00. Almost anyone could afford to attend an Origami Owl party and create something personal and meaningful to them.

An Origami Owl Business Basics Package costs $199.00 and includes basic business supplies, 4 lockets, 36 charms, jewelry supplies and a free month of a personalized website. There are also larger starter packages with more jewelry for $399.00, $799.00, or $2,599.00.  

Origami Owl pays its Designers 50% commission on charms and 30% on all other jewelry. Designers can buy jewelry from the company at 30-50% off retail through their Origami Owl back office.

I think Origami Owl has a very appealing and reasonably-priced product line. That is the number one thing anyone thinking about signing up with a home party company should consider, because if people don't like or can't afford the products, selling them and booking parties will be a struggle. The commissions are generous and the startup cost is fairly low.

If you're looking for a new home party company to get involved with, check out Origami Owl. (And in case you're wondering, I'm not affiliated with the company in any way - just a fan of the concept).

It looks like the home party companies are becoming pretty popular, and with the addition of Origami Owl, there seems to be a home party company for every taste. One thing that bothers me is that almost every Origami Owl review talks about the story behind its founding. True, the story is very motivating, and proves that with an idea and a lot of drive, a person can be successful no matter their walk of life. However, the story behind Origami Owl really has nothing to do with where it may go as a business, except to show that the founder obviously has a lot of motivation to succeed and profit. 

Origami Owl really doesn't smell fishy at all to me. In fact, it seems very straightforward. You buy a starter kit, and Origami Owl provides you with the basic materials needed to start having your own home parties and making your own jewelry to sell. The fact that each Origami Owl designer gets very high percentage discounts off of retail and that they make %50 commission for all charms and %30 for other jewelry shows that a designer would be able to make a profit off of their first investment in a kit perhaps after their first party.

All in all, Origami Owl seems like a great investment for anyone who has some creativity and motivation. It actually seems like a worthwhile investment, and doesn't smell of scam at all.
