How to read this comparison

  • Starter kit is the up-front purchase to begin selling. Some companies also charge an annual renewal or a website fee; check the company page.
  • Personal commission is your cut of your own retail sales. Downline commission is what you earn on sales by people you recruit; a plan with no downline pay is single-level, one with overrides is multi-level.
  • Sales to earn the kit back divides the minimum kit by the minimum commission. It is the retail volume you must sell before the kit has paid for itself, before any other costs.
  • Most multi-level plans publish an income disclosure statement. Ask for it, and read it, before you sign. Typical participants earn far less than the top ranks.
  • Figures are company-reported and can change. Spot something out of date? Tell us.

KEEP Collective is one of THE best direct sales companies out there in my opinion! Our Home Office cares deeply about each and every designer whether she sells a thousand charms or one charm in any given month! A true feeling of sisterhood can be gleaned from this wonderful group of woman (and some men) from all over the country! And our jewelry is off the highest quality while keeping prices low and affordable so that everyone is able to design, create, and tell their story once charm at a time!

Origami owl has opened so many doors for me in the past two months. I am impressed with the products and the people associated with the company. I have not met so many motivated individuals in one direct sales company before, each designer is dedicated to helping their fellow designers succeed and that creates a winning company. I am excited to see where this company leads me in the next five years.

I have been with Origami Owl for almost five years, and have had a great experience. We have had our growing pains, but I have seen them blossom into a well- led company who cares about their Designers, provides great support, and a variety of beautiful products in their jewelry line. Personally, it has allowed me build a successful business with a product I love!

I wouldn't buy another piece of your product ever! I love the locket but the necklace tarnished to a copper color. So I can't even wear the necklace and locket. Don't want to invest in another necklace because I'm sure it would do the same thing. I have brought it to your consultants and was told you don't stand behind the chains. So no more oragami for me! Would love to send you a picture of just how bad this looks. Would love to know if you would wear a necklace that looks like mine!
