Ann Summers Party Organiser

Few experiences in life are quite as uncomfortable as watching a pensioner (89) test a vibrator on her nose. Trust me on this, because you really don’t want to witness it firsthand in glorious technicolour. However, this is merely a teaser (a perhaps unfortunate choice of noun); we shall return to octogenarians and sex aids later. NB. This is a review of an adult shop. If you’re offended by words such as knob, penis etc., then it’s too late. You’ve already read them. Ha! History Ann Summers in its first incarnation was the brainchild of brothers David and Ralph Gold. Despite having names that ... more

THE COMPANY ----------------------- After visiting a Tupperware style fashion party Jacqueline Gold (founder of Ann Summers) believed that a lot of money could be made out of selling sexy lingerie and sex toys at parties. Her father David Gold owned four Ann Summers stores which was a 'sex shop'. Jacqueline didn't like the fact that these stores were slightly pervy and seedy aimed at men. She decided to start up her own business which involved the sale of lingerie and sex toys at 'women only parties'. Today the Ann Summers Party Plan is running successfully with over 7,500 women as party ... more

Ann Summers party plan is obviously sales led from the top down.Regional Managers, Area Managers, Unit Organisers (UO)and Party Organisers (PO) all have targets and they aren't always on the same wave length.

I worked as a party organiser for 6 months and am in the process of leaving and although I did enjoy the job I feel sort of let down by the company and wish that I read more reviews before I joined. I joined because I am a full-time student and wanted a bit of extra money and from first impressions Ann Summers seemed like the perfect job to fit around my university work and part-time job. Ann Summers appeals to mothers and students like me, however this is not the case. I have quite a lot to say about my time with Ann Summers so please do read this review if you are considering joining the ... more

I've been an Ann Summers Party Organiser one and off for three and a half years now. I took a year out an started back in May this year. Doing Ann Summers has its advantages and also its disadvantages, I work full time during the day as Sales and MArketing Manager therefore I don't have to rely on the parties to obtain more money.. its just a bonus when i do them. Initially you don't have to make an initial outlay to join Ann Summers which is good, they give you a kit worth the value of £500 and you basically pay rental on this until you have banked £1000, which £1000 is nothing really if you ... more
