Whether you’re looking for a way to earn some free perks or you’re just somebody who loves jewelry, lia sophia, a direct-sales jewelry company, is sure to satisfy. With our economy enduring its recent woes, many people have found that they can afford some of the extras in life by signing up with this direct sales company.

Locally, lia sophia is run by advisor Denise Tousignant, who relocated to North Central Florida from Massachusetts last year. “With 15 years direct sales experience, I am continuing to grow my lia sophia team here and I’m looking for women who love jewelry, or who are just looking for an income opportunity,” she says.

As a direct sales company, most of lia sophia sales happen at parties or social gatherings.

lia sophia offers affordable, high-quality, designer-inspired, fashion jewelry that comes with a lifetime guarantee. Tousignant says one piece that she recently sold for $129 is actually a copy of a $4,000 tennis bracelet. “Some of your jewelery you might only take out on special occasions,” she explains. “But, our jewelry is something that you can wear all the time.”

The jewelery itself features natural stems and genuine gemstones. Tousignant says the company tries to feature the latest trends in jewelry, such as geometric textures, hammered metals or matte gold and silver, two-tone gold and silver pieces, cut crystals and cubic zirconium. Every piece is tagged with its country of origin and the origin and meaning of each stone. I recently purchased a genuine wood bead necklace for my wife and it came with a card that reads, “These beads are hand carved from the trimmings of trees, which is an essential process for healthier growth and generates environmental stability. So, no tree is damaged or destroyed in the process.”

lia sophia does offer some men’s jewelry, but Tousignant says there is a push under way to develop more men’s pieces. She says the company also features a children’s line.

lia sophia also offers an incredible income opportunity for someone who is motivated and self-directed, and desires a home-based business.  “The economy today is ripe for this venue,” says Tousignant.

As a hostess, a lia sophia jewelry show offers you a great way to entertain friends while earning free and discounted jewelry. For customers, it’s a fun shopping experience, with opportunities to save money, and the product is lifetime guaranteed. Tousignant says just about anybody can host a lia sophia party with ease. She says hostesses can earn anywhere from $200 to $1,000 in free jewelry and discounts.

On the lia sophia website, it states that hostesses receive 20 percent of their show’s sales in free jewelry credits, get to pick four items to purchase at a bonus price (usually $15) and get to choose any two items at half price, plus additional bonuses for sales and party bookings from your event.

Tousignant says lia sophia sales advisors also earn generous commission, paid weekly, free jewelry, all-expense paid trips and other recognition and awards. “You have flexible hours, that meet your needs,” she explains.  “There are no deliveries to make, no inventory to carry, and no territories to observe.” Tousignant says its easy to get started, the initial investment is minimal and motivated people who really love jewelry excel in the position.

“Jewelry is an easy sell,” says Tousignant. “You don’t need a lot of sales experience. You do need to be motivated and willing to go out to find the work.”
