Damsel in Defense Review
Damsel in Defense Review
Damsel in Defense, in Meridian, Idaho, sells something I haven't seen in a home party company before - self-defense products for women. The idea behind the company is that most women would feel uncomfortable going into a store to buy self-defense items, so Damsel in Defense reps bring the products to them at home parties where they will feel more comfortable making the purchase. Their products include non-lethal defense items like stun guns, pepper spray, personal alarms, and door alarms. Most items are priced between $10.00 and $50.00.
The startup kit for Damsel in Defense costs $199.00 and includes everything a rep would need for their first party, plus one of each product. There are no yearly renewal fees and no quotas; however, in order to receive commissions on their downline a rep needs to sell $300.00 per quarter.
"Damsel Pros" (the company's name for their representatives) earn 30% on sales plus 4% on their first level, 3% on the second level, 2% on the third level, and 1% on the fourth level.
Damsel in Defense has a great concept and a unique product line for a direct sales company. Most of the women I know would not be comfortable buying these products in a store, and probably wouldn't even know where to find them. However, everyone is concerned about personal safety. The ability to purchase personal defense products at a home party would be appealing to many women. Two advantages for anyone considering becoming a Damsel in Defense rep is that the products are reasonably priced, and the product line is fairly small. The startup cost is reasonable, and you should be able to earn back your investment with one or two parties. My opinion is that Damsel in Defense would be a good opportunity for anyone who is interested in becoming involved with a direct sales/home party company.
