Starter Kit-Earning Parties

Pursuant to Section 5.12, Recruiting or Enrolling Promotions, promoting, advertising, endorsing, or participating in any enrollment incentive, is prohibited. Section 5.12 does not apply to enrollment promotions offered by corporate Paparazzi, as these promotions are Company wide and benefit all Consultants. Consultants who advertise these Paparazzi-sponsored promotions must indicate that they are offered by Paparazzi, not a Consultant.

5.12 Recruiting or Enrolling Promotions

At no point may a Consultant advertise or promote an enrolling or recruiting promotion in which the price or value of the enrollment process is discounted. This includes, but is not limited to, offering discounted Starter Kits, reimbursements, cash offers for enrollment, extra personal inventory, or anything else that is seen to increase the value or decrease the value of the enrollment process. This activity is often seen as an attempt to create an unfair advantage to other Consultants.

Violations of Section 5.12 include but are not limited to:

  • Offering cash or gift cards to be used toward the purchase of a Starter Kit.
  • Purchasing a Starter Kit for a new Consultant.
  • Offering additional Accessories or any other gift to a Consultant or anyone else as a reward for enrolling.

Starter Kit Earning Party Exception

When an individual hosts a Paparazzi party, Section 6.8 Adherence to Hostess Rewards Program requires Consultants “to offer a 10% credit to the Hostess for the retail sales generated at their hosted party - preferably to be selected out of the inventory at the party.” As an exception to Section 5.12, Paparazzi allows Consultants to throw “kit-earning” Back Office parties, where the 10% Hostess Reward credit can be applied to the cost of enrolling as a Consultant. This is a limited exception, so Hostess Rewards generated through other kinds of parties (such as home parties, social media parties, basket parties, etc.) cannot be redeemed as enrollment credits; doing so would be a violation of Section 5.12.

When throwing kit-earning Back Office parties, Consultants should remember:

  • No more than 10% of the retail sales from a Back Office party can be applied toward the Host’s or Hostess’ enrollment.
  • Offering an enrollment credit for orders placed anywhere other than a Back Office party, or encouraging other Consultants to do so, is considered an enrollment incentive and will result in disciplinary action, up to and including the termination of a Consultant’s account. 
  • Consultants should not place orders as customers in a Back Office party.

The following steps outline the process for kit-earning parties:

  • The Consultant will create a Back Office party and designate a customer as the Hostess.
  • Customers will log in to paparazziaccessories.com, join the Back Office party, and place their orders. Sales will be tracked by the party module.
  • When all orders have been placed and the party is over, the party module will calculate the Hostess Reward total (10% of Back Office party sales). Parties that generate less than $50 in retail sales do not qualify for Hostess Rewards and therefore cannot be used for earning a credit toward enrollment.
  • The party Hostess will then contact Paparazzi Support for assistance with applying the Hostess Rewards as a credit toward his or her enrollment.

The enrollment credit will discount the Starter Kit price, and the corresponding Volume for the selected kit (PV & BV) will be reduced proportionately. Hostess Rewards have no cash value.

Individuals can host multiple Back Office parties to earn additional enrollment credits, contacting Paparazzi Support at the close of each party to reserve the credits until he or she enrolls.
