It is with a heavy heart that I make this post.
**Please read entire post, I'm sorry that's long**
With news that I just received, I will no longer be an affiliate with PartyLite.
I will let you know that they are having a BIG Blowout sale that is starting Thursday, however, based on the email that I received; I will not receive commission/pay on any sale item that is purchased.
Items will be up to 75% to 80% discounted on this sale.
Per the email, I would only receive a commission/pay on regular priced items that are purchased through my link.
PartyLite is switching from having affiliates to a direct-to-consumer business. (This will eliminate affiliates/consultants).
Sadly, when PartyLite went to Share A Sale and then to AWIN platform and away from the Home Party Plan that Mable designed, there has been ALOT of affiliates (formerly known as consultants) that have not been receiving their commission checks in a timely manner if at all.
Customers that ordered in August are either still waiting on their orders or have started receiving refunds due to the orders not being able to be fulfilled.
Over the past few years, the quality of the product is NOT what it used to be.
I started with PartyLite 23 1/2 years ago (June 2002). The quality was TOP NOTCH!!
I have loved my time with PartyLite!!!! 🥰
Due to the changes that have been announced, I can no longer stay on board.
We affiliates can not compete with the discounts that are being offered by other companies....
Lives have been blessed because of PartyLite, my life was one of those. Many friendships made through my years as a consultant. I still love burning candles, that will never change.
But the foundation that PartyLite was built on 51 (almost 52) years ago is not the same foundation of today.
I swore I would not bad mouth a company and though it may seem that I am, I'm trying not to.
I just watched friend's lives being "destroyed" with decisions that the new upper management has made recently.
The "old" PartyLite allowed parents to send their children off to college, buy homes, cars, pay bills, buy groceries, help others, etc. "Old" PartyLite was all about "The Paycheck of the Heart", the "new" PartyLite, sadly, I cannot say the same thing anymore.
BUT most importantly, build friendships and support groups-THESE will continue. These friendships are lifetime friendships/family/support.
I have tried to stay, hoping & praying that things would go back to the old ways, where personal interaction actually mattered; people would have the get togethers, but under the new plan, that's not going to happen.
"Old" PartyLite brought this woman out of her introvert shell and I began to talk to people outside of my VERY small close circle of friends/family; my circle of friends grew; I watched first hand the impact on lives for the better; for that I will forever be grateful for my time with PartyLite.
For me, my time with PartyLite has come to an end.
For others, their journey will continue.
Should you still want an affiliate to be able to shop with, PLEASE let me know and I will connect you with someone..or....go to Amazon, Kroger, Walmart.
You all have been a part of this journey for so many years with me & again, I am so grateful for each & every one of you!!!
I will continue on with pursuing my Master's degree, sharing The Wellness Store (Melaleuca) that comes to you and helping others where & when I can.
Here's to the unknown and to what the future will bring.
My wish for each and everyone of you is joy, love, happiness!
Stay in touch, never know what's around the corner or over the horizon.
Love you all,
Wilma
PS: I do have some stash still on hand, I will post them for sale as I get the photos together.
