Founded in 1997 by Alicia and Ben Storbeck, Initial Providers is a multi-level marketing company that offers jewelry and design related products as well as a business opportunity for individuals to become consultants to the company and have the ability to earn money from home either by reselling their products or by enrolling to other people in the business. During this article we will gain a greater understanding of Initial Outfitters such as the type of products they offer, the business opportunity they offer and if you can actually make money from it, the cost to start and finally my last thoughts on all that has reviewed.
The thing:
As mentioned above, Initial Outfitters offer design and jewelry related products, mostly jewelry and rarely offer much else such as designer handbags. I’ll give a brief explanation of some of the items they offer below. However, before doing so, it’s important to mention that if you don’t like the prices of their items, they run monthly specials on a regular basis. Remember, it’s also pretty hard to explain verbally or in written words what a necklace, bracelet, ring, or any other piece of jewelry necessarily looks like, but I’ll do my best!
- claire – This is actually a combo piece with two necklaces in one for $39.00 and it comes in blue and light pink.
- Elizabeth – This silver and hematite set is $69.00 and comes with a total of four beautiful necklaces.
- The Rhapsody Collection – These are essentially cuffs with words etched into them like “Let Your Soul Shine” and they retail for between $22 and $34 and come in black, bronze, and pewter.
- Chopping boards – They offer all kinds of different cutting boards and also allow the customer to personalize them by adding their name or anything else they want and it retails for $49.00.
The opportunity:
The big question still remains; Can you really make money with the Initial Outfitters business opportunity? Well, to answer this question, we need to take a look at their compensation plan! This is my favorite part of doing reviews, so I hope this is your favorite part to read!
- Commission – This is the most common form of compensation when it comes to multilevel marketing companies. You start with 20% until you resell your first $1000 worth of products and then you get a 5% raise, making it a 25% commission.
Well, that wasn’t very funny. But, that’s the ball game!
To conclude, yes, you can earn money with the Initial Outfitters compensation plan!
The cost:
Like all businesses, you will need some type of start-up money! If you are interested in becoming a Consultant, working from home with Initial Outfitters, you will need to purchase one of their three starter kits.
- You know that you love it: $79.00. This is essentially a starter kit that provides the consultant with enough tools and supplies to get their first house party started.
- more to love: $129.00. This kit contains over $300 in retail product. It will give you enough tools and supplies to start your first house parties as well as the starter kit, however all the personal jewelry included is personalized with your name or initials.
- I love everything: $199.00. This kit includes over $730 in retail products! It has the widest variety and collection than his other kits and gets you ready to take massive action! It also includes customization of personal jewelry like the “More To Love” kit does. Quite simply, this kit is for serious entrepreneurs!
Final Thoughts:
Initial Outfitters offers around 96 pages of designer jewelry and other items as well. It seems that most of this jewelry is for women, which is understandable. However, it also seems that most of what they offer is necklaces. They offer rings, bracelets, earrings, and various other pieces of jewelry, but most appear to be necklaces. That’s fine, but if I’m interested in joining a company like this, I usually do it to make money and help others do the same. Therefore, I am looking for a mass market! If most of what Initial Outfitters offers are necklaces, which certainly doesn’t scream Massive Market!
The opportunity is weak. Weak is an understatement, it’s horrible! As far as I know, when reviewing their compensation plan, they only offer one payout! Most companies offer between 1 and 6 payments! If I were considering joining the Initial Outfitters business opportunity to make money, that would be a capital “NO”. No disrespect to the company, but the truth is the truth!
The cost to start isn’t bad at all, plus they include three different options to choose from which makes it much easier to get one based on how you’d like to run your business, would you like to start slow and build your business or would you like to go with all in, take advantage and take massive action immediately. All up to you!
