Disadvantages

The Mary Kay website is a co-branded web site, which means it looks like, www.marykay.com/yourname. However you can build a Site Build It theme based site and the Mary Kay Site will work great as your SHOP AT MY STORE button.

Although you are not required to keep inventory, one must order $200.00 of product twice a year to maintain an active status

One must be sure to order only enough product inventories to match one’s level of business activity. Do not order a large inventory if you are only holding 1 to 2 skincare appointments a week. You care take orders from you customers and then order the product, and only keep product on hand for your regular customers. Many women go wrong by reordering product before they have sold 70% of their previous order.

This is a business not a sorority. If you treat this opportunity like a business you will be just fine.

• Watch you business expenses

• Only order product to match your activity level

• Build your business at your own pace.
