Simply You Review

Simply You is a home party company that sells an exclusive line of jewelry and has been in business about a year. Simply You has representatives ("Advisors") in the U.S. and Canada.  

The Product - One thing I like about this company is that if you go to a Simply You jewelry party, you won't end up buying something that a million other people are wearing, because their pieces are designed by in-house designers. The jewelry is reasonably priced (most pieces are between $35 and $100). Also, Simply You jewelry is a great option for people who suffer from contact allergies to metal, as it is nickel, cadmium, and lead free, and all of the earrings are hypoallergenic. These are great selling points if you're thinking about become a Simply You Advisor. The company also offers a lifetime replacement guarantee on its products.

Simply You's jewelry parties have a similar Hostess program to other home party businesses. Depending on the total sales at their party, a Hostess can earn free jewelry, half-priced items and discounts.

The Opportunity - Simply You has a relatively low start-up cost. The Starter Kit is $199.00 and includes jewelry samples, displays, business forms, and a personal website. There are also supplemental kits that can be purchased containing additional jewelry or charm samples, from $99.00 to $850.00. There is no annual fee for Advisors.

Compensation - Simply You Advisors receive 25% to 40% monthly on their retail sales and can also qualify for Fast Start rewards and Business Building Bonuses, which pay 3% to 5% of the retail sales for sponsoring new, active Advisors who have a personal retail sales volume of at least $400 per month. The company has a Leadership Program with four levels of increased earning potential for Advisors who want to build a team.

To sum up this Simply You review, I think it's a solid opportunity for anyone who wants to start a home-based business selling an appealing and reasonably-priced product. The start-up cost of $199 could be earned back by doing a few parties. If you want to put in more time and build a team, you can earn more.

Simply You jewelry is definitely a legitimate company, with a legitimate product to sell. The only issue is that in order to continue profiting from being a Simply You representative, you need a constant stream of new customers and leads. Of course, if you profit enough up front, or are willing to spend more of your own money, you could pay for trips to host Simply You parties in other places with all new customers. 

One Simply You reviewer made an unbelievable claim that you can actually earn 100% commission. I say unbelievable because I don't believe it. While the commission for Simply You sales by Associates is relatively high, it is still nowhere near 100%, and nowhere else does anyone say that 100% commission is possible, not even Simply You themselves. I don't know why I trusted what someone who calls herself "The bus ridin' internet marketer" said.    

Overall, Simply You jewelry could be a very good investment for someone who has a lot of motivation and dedication, because in order to keep making money from Simply You, you will eventually have to start moving around and finding new places to go have home parties and sell your Simply You products.

Most of the reviews you find now are on massive cross linked Wordpress pages. The goal of the reviews isn't to educate on the company or product, they are almost are designed to capture leads by presenting a pop-up or pop-under form and churn visitors into attraction marketing programs.

For the record, I think Simply You is a solid company with a seasoned executive team and a home party structure that works for reps. Home party companies tend to succeed far more often than most other MLM company startups, particularly in niche markets like jewelery or home decor.

But even that isn't a hard and fast rule. For example, Chartreuse Products just closed last month after five years in business. ( They should really post something on their site saying they are closed, for all intents and purposes they still appear to be in business, but reps received an email about the closure and the phone numbers are all dead. )
