Advantages: You can shop in the comfort of your own home Disadvantages: Can be a little pricey with some things
I use to be a Betterware agent. I did it for about a month., but got fed up with having to carry ironing ironing boards, whilst delivering stock.
The Catologue.
A betterware book, is usually delivered every six weeks. An agent will come and post one through your letter box. They will then come back, in a couple of days, to pick up the book, and take your order. (if you have one)
The betterware book provides you with reasonably priced products for you and your home. You will find a wide range of goods from:
*Jewelery
*Dish cloths
*Brushes (hair and clothes)
*Cleaning products
*Pet beds and accessories
*Pans
*Mops
In all products from Betterware are worth the money. You might come across a few things that are a little more expensive than the shops, but overall, you could make a saving.
The cleaning ...
Advantages: Free delivery, good pay if you work for them, great experience! Disadvantages: Weather and some members of the public can be rude.
I am a Betterware Distributor at the moment, and it can be both a rewarding and sometimes crappy job to do.
I got the job because I am currently a student, and the job fits around my studies very easily. I have most of my evenings free, so I thought that I may aswell do something with that time, rather than waste it away on the computer doing nothing.
Before Betterware, I worked for Letterbox Direct, a company which deals with the delivery of free local papers. I delivered the Pontefract and Castleford Extra, as this is my local free paper. The job was ok, but I was getting paid 15.00-20.00 pounds per week to deliver and sort out 400 papers. It just wasn't worth the money and hassle.
Funnily enough, I found the Betterware Distributor job in the free paper. I looked every week for a better job than delivering the local free paper ...
Advantages: You don't have to go to the shops Disadvantages: You buy some of the same products at Poundland for fraction of the cost.
I have bought various items off the Betterware representatives over the last 27 years, and unfortunately, have never been as happy as I would have liked to been over the products, the customer service, or the "pushiness" of the marketing.
IT STARTED OUT SO WELL
When I first was married, and I lived in Marlow Bottom (Bucks) we had a very helpful representative come round. She was always regular in her visits, brought the goods round promptly and was always courteous. When goods did not last as long as expected, she was quite happy to replace them or refund them as the case may be; the goods in those days consisted mainly of Brooms, Brushes and Cleaning Supplies which you could buy in bulk (a bit like the "Fuller Brush Man" used to be in the USA when I was a child!).
The Brooms were VERY GOOD QUALITY and lasted and lasted ...
