Membership in Ardyss International: The Ardyss Products Sell Themselves

A lot has been said about network marketing and pyramids.  Most sentiment state that they are scams or time consuming, or difficult to make money.  As you can see we are selling Ardyss International merchandise through one of its members.  It works for us, but here are a few of the comments from those who have joined under us.

1)  "The products sell themselves!" - This is truly an agreed upon statement throughout the group.  Making money in Ardyss selling Body Magic Shapewear is easy.  Once the customer tries on a garment, they are sold.  The Body Magic Shapewear line exceeds expectations everytime.  "It is the biggest reason I joined today.  I actually fell in love with my Body Magic."

2)  "I joined just to save money on my garments and got a whole lot more." - Several customers joined with one goal in mind...save 40% on a body magic.  They wore the garment to an outing and unknowingly sold their friends on the garment through show and tell.  They then signed up their friends, who now wanted garments, and reaped the benefits of their joining.  Situations like this have spawned several members beginning their business growth when they orignally had no intentions of starting a business.

3)  "I joined Ardyss International when I realized weight loss was more than just wearing the garment." - Unlike other body shaping products, Ardyss International has the products to take care of both your outside and your inside.  The garment takes care of reshaping your figure while the nutritional products help you maintain the natural figure you wish to achieve.  All body shapers on the market just move things around, but keeping them there is a challenge.  Your diet plays a big part in this, so Ardyss International has developed the products to help complete your transformation.  "I own a Spanx, but became frustrated with having to wear it everywhere, all the time.   I joined Ardyss International and with my Body Magic in combination with Le'Vive and exercise I have permanently lost 50 pounds.  My figure is becoming more and more hourglass every day and I'm downsizing my garment selection to a T-Shirt Light."

These are just a few of the general comments we received in general conversation.  As always we look forward to your responses.

Party Lighting: The Party Lantern

Dating back to the Tang Dynasty, Paper Lanterns have been very common lighting choices in China and Asia.  They are symbols of joy and celebration.

Today they are most commonly used in outdoor celebrations like Luaus, beach parties, graduation parties, etc.

Lighting them can be done in my any ways, but the most common method used by our customers is battery operated LED lights.  They are hung inside the lanter and come in different colors.  Something to consider is how bright a light you purchase.  Some customers have seen poor results from low output lights and others installed lights too bright which drowned out the decoration itself.  This also depends on the look you're trying to achieve.  If you looking to light a path, go bright, if you're looking to create accent lighting, dim it down a bit.  Knowing the direction you wish to travel will lead you in the right direction.

Accordion
Lanterns
A lot of customers have asked, "Are they reuseable?"  The answer is yes and no.  Under windy conditions, the lanters can be damaged beyond repair, ie a little scotch tape.  In order to reuse any paper lantern, a careful hand is required.  Again they are paper, so a gentle touch is required to refold the lantern in preparation for storage.  Generally, our customers have had a much harder time refolding accordion lanterns verses the round lantern.

As always we invite you to participate and tell us your experience with these or any of the other products we sell.  We look forward to our next discussion.
