Monthly Savings

Did you know that the average US household spends around $600 per year on personal care products?  Do you think it could be about the same per year on nutritional and digestive supplements?

What about you?  How much money would you save per month if you didn’t have to take funds from your budget for the products you use in your routines?  Skin care, hair care, body care, oral care, baby care, cosmetics, deodorant, supplements…  Whether you’re a high maintenance or low maintenance person, whether you buy your stuff from a larger company or an indie artisan, or even if you ‘DIY’ and make your own products, you put some amount of money toward your health and hygiene every month.

And what if you are trying to live a more mindful life – being more careful to avoid toxic ingredients, packaging, or business practices that are harmful to people and the planet?  Do you ever get disheartened by the fact that, no matter what type of product, the truly safe and sustainable options tend to be pricier?  Perhaps you want to live more simply and spend less in general, but you know that most things that are cheap are cheap for a reason – whether it’s the synthetic chemicals in the product, the child or slave labor behind the product, or any number of other social ills.  You understand how quality and social, economic, and environmental factors impact the total value equation, but maybe your budget, like most people’s,  remains limited nonetheless.

Let’s face it, when it comes to truly safe and sustainable personal care and nutritional supplement products, very few companies offer you the option to get discounts all the time on every order of any size.  And virtually none offers you the option to get products free every month.

But Miessence offers both – and it’s just one of the things that I love about them.  They have all the charm and heart of a small, family-owned company, and a clear and intentional focus on benefiting local and regional economies across the globe, but with a business plan that also benefits customers in ways far greater than a traditional retail model ever could.

Now, we all know there is no such thing as a free lunch, right?  Miessence is obviously not just giving away free products for nothing.  But for some people it almost feels like nothing because it’s either so natural, or so fun and rewarding, or both.

If you haven’t seen my video series on sustainability yet, take a quick few minutes to check out the “On Our Wallets” video and then read on.

OK, so as I mentioned in this video and in my post last week on Miessence’s free superfoods offer this month, there are many reasons why people become members of the Miessence community, whether as Customers (pay full retail price), Lifestyle members (get 20% off all the time), or Representative members (get 20-40% off all the time, free shipping, and more).  Representative members are often people who want to build an ethical home based business income to help support their families, but many more people become Rep members just to get a big discount on their own safe and sustainable products – or maybe even to get their products for free.

This is the post I promised earlier this month for those who are interested in knowing the answer to the question… How can I get Miessence products for free every month?

If you order monthly and refer just 3 other folks to the company who also want to order monthly as a Rep for the great savings and free shipping, then you get a thank you bonus from Miessence every month that basically pays for your monthly order.

Now, Lord help me if any of you think for even a second that I’m suggesting that you pester friends and family to buy these products just so you can get your stuff for free – far from it!  I hope you all know me well enough by now to know that I am all about doing things professionally, ethically, and naturally – always preserving relationships and respect.  🙂

There are two very viable options here that many people love:

1) If you love and use the products yourself and are happy to order monthly, and you naturally share it with others who want to do the same, then hey, the thank you bonus from Miessence that pays for your own products is a great little perk that can save you money each month and essentially take the personal care and nutritional supplement spending categories out of your monthly budget – or give you back the time you were using to make your own products so you can tackle the other 50 projects on your ‘want to do’ list.  You are genuinely ‘representing’ Miessence to others – including the caring, ethical, educational, and totally not pushy vibe of the company – and the company thanks you for it by paying for your monthly order.

2) If you want or need to earn your products for free asap, it requires some actual work.  Feel free to contact me for additional information on training and support available to you through our team on how to build a Miessence business professionally and ethically, without ever feeling like a pest to anyone.  If you’re only looking to build a business big (or small) enough to pay for your own monthly products, finding 3 monthly customers does not have to be a huge effort, but it is does require more focused and intentional effort than just casually referring friends to the company.

Again, no free lunch here.  But Miessence will pay for your monthly products if you casually and naturally refer 3 customers who also order monthly, or if you do just enough real honest-to-goodness work with the company to find 3 monthly customers in a way that is consistent with the ethical, educational, and missional focus of the company.

If you would like to open a Rep account for the great savings and/or potential to earn free products every month, check out this post from last week on the “Birthday Blast” offers this month and the different options for opening a Rep account.

Any questions, feel free to contact me.  Cheers!  🙂
