WHAT OTHERS SAY 

This section is where I pull together a sample of opinions from people that have posted their experience and knowledge of the company.  I try to be fair and balanced, but I give you what I find.

Although many people think that the 25% commission is a little low, the truth is that this is a really good income opportunity and the products have a specific and very large target market. The chances of selling are great because people who love animals enough to attend a pet party are more than likely going to purchase something for their four legged friends.

I started my own business as a Shure Pets Pet Consultant at the end of May 2004.  I now have the largest and most enthusiastic team of Shure Pets Pet Consultants.  I chose Shure Pets because as a Pet Consultant, I can spoil my pet earn money and have the freedom to choose the when, how, and how often I work.  Sandy Tuniewicz www.petpartyfun.com

The products sold vary from person to person, since it depends on what a pet owner needs on any given day! Its best to bring the entire catalog so potential customers can look through it and find items that they like. I’ve found the foaming cleansers, shampoos, soaps, for pets to be quite popular, along with treats such as Big Bone, Pup’s Pizzas, Kitty Shrimp Cock-tail, etc.

Things That Might Make You Go “Hmmm?”

 

Up to this point I have kept my personal opinions and observations to myself. This section is where I give you some of my thoughts.  They are random and might not be relevant to you, but they just might make you stop and go, Hmm?

 

• My “Scammy Sense” didn’t tingle once while review this company.
• It took me a while to locate the amount of the initial investment.  I prefer when companies put that information front and center.
• I like this business. People spend billions of dollars on pets each year, so there’s a huge market out there for someone looking to start a pet based business.
• The website is simple almost generic when compared to a similar business site, like Avon.  I’m wondering if they did that on purpose. Trying to appeal to a certain buyer?
• I did find the wording on most of the site distracting and annoying (i.e. “locate your purr-sonal pet consultant”). You’re a site that resolves around animals, we get it! It seems a little unprofessional.
• The site states that the minimum investment is $149.00.  One of the Pet Consultants says that there is a $99.00 minimum, which is accurate?
• I searched for a review the quality of the products but couldn’t find any.
• The company has got a ton of media coverage. CNN, CBS, Fox News, NY Post, ABC, USA weekend, Denver Post, Miami Herald, and  Dog Fancy to name a few. I haven’t reviewed the coverage but I’m assuming it’s all favorable.
• With all of that media coverage I think they should upgrade the style of their website.
