Have you ran across Willow House? (formally Southern Living at Home) This MLM is a growing home decor company that offers a great financial rewords for those who want to sell their products as a home based decor consultant. I have known a few folks who work with Willow House and have very satisfied with them . I asked a few questions to get the “inside scoop” on the business. You can check out my video review on Willow House if you would rather do that. If you are looking for a good MLM in the Home Décor area you may want to consider Willow House. Here are the basic questions you want to ask:
What Does the Product Line Look Like? Does it have solid products with real value aside from the business opportunity?
Willow House sells quality designer home decor products. They have a a lot of different products and the quality and design of them are certain above the average items sold at the most chain retailers . They are similar to what you would find in a high-end housewares outlet, but they seem to be very reasonable priced. Willow House has a line of products that includes serving dishes, glasses, picture frames, cookbooks, flat wear, wine racks and much more. Some of what they sell are considered staples and some other items are unique to the Will House MLM. They have pretty much anything you would need to decorate a home and throw a party.
What Does The Compensation Look Like?
The compensation for consultants is fairly high for this type of business. Most MLMs in this niche have a graduating commission scale that starts fairly low. There are a number of ways to make money working with Willow House. The first way to make income comes from a 25% commission on everything that is sold. Consultants also make money fromrefering the network to other consultants . I have always taught that the test of any MLM is its value without the business opportunity. If the products it sells are a good deal aside from the MLM structure a MLM is much more likely to be successful.
How Do Consultants Market on and offline?
By far the most common way to market Willow House is through home parties . This is certainly the traditional way to market this type of home business. I don’t think this is going to change anytime soon; however, finding ways to integrate and improve on the system through the internet is what I am most concerned with. Online MLM marketing methods are going to continue to be a major part of the industry. The exciting thing that makes this opportunity different from many of the other 2,700 MLM companies out there is that they seem to have embraced internet marketing.
They realized that things have changed and many people are connecting online now . They offer a design blog with products and decoration ideas to each consultant. This is a direction that many MLMs are taking nowadays. I fully expect this trend to continue. The reps blog can be promoted through basic online marketing strategies to make the Willow House opportunity truly lucrative. They claim to be “the world’s first social media direct selling company!” Although, there are lots of MLMs going that direction Willow House certainly has a good start.
Over my many years working in the MLM industry I have developed a good sense of a good MLM compared to one that will likely not last . I believe that if a consultant for this company was in a good location and is good at networking, this would be a good moneymaker. The product line is very solid, the commission is good and cooperation seems to be very creative and should be successful in the long run.
