As many of my readers know, I really love to support small mom-owned businesses! However, it takes something memorable for me to chose to shop with any business, be it brick and mortar or home-based. I know many people have a "bag-lady," but I wanted to share why Nicole is mine! I am all about a unique, fun, and special take on any direct sales business and let me be the first to tell you, that shopping with Nicole Forguson of Thirty-One Gifts is a complete and total blast!Nicole is a former military spouse turned over-the-road truck driver wife upon her husband's separation from the military. Together they have 3 kiddos who definitely keep Nicole on her toes! She wanted to help contribute to their income and do something for herself and decided to join Thirty-One Gifts; a direct sales company offering organizational items, bags, thermals, totes, home decor, and even a line of jewelry and accessories! Nicole fell in love with the quality, style, and morals of the company and has been hooked ever since.
She loves that the company has something to offer everyone. Nicole offers both online and in home parties--and I must say partying with Nicole is such a unique experience! She puts so much time and effort into each party and it shows. I have been invited to a TON of Thirty-One parties and they pretty much go exactly the same. Then I was invited to a party hosted by Nicole, and wow! Talk about a memorable experience. She takes the time to interact with each guest and make a true connection. It's obvious that Nicole values a connection and friendship over just a "sale" and I absolutely love that about her! She is so much fun. Her energy, positivity, and fun is so obvious in all of her posts in her VIP Group!
Nicole is always expanding her business and finding great niche markets perfect for Thirty-One. She is available to do fundraisers for a charity of your choice, school programs, etc., and also offers personal shopper and registry services for expecting mamas and brides. Thirty-One is such a great giftable company for those times; I use my Thirty-One stuff daily; it is definitely durable with two toddlers doing their best to destroy ALL THE THINGS that belong to their mother.
Shopping with Nicole, whether at a party or a vendor show, is like shopping with a friend. She engages you. She talks about things aside from Thirty-One. She values you. She always remembers you--Nicole will say hello to you no matter where she sees you, and I value that in a sales representative! Nicole is very active as a vendor at local community events and has participated in events to support local charities such as Kitten Division and the Fort Leonard Wood Navy Detachment fundraiser event. Giving back to the community also helps set her aside from others. Supporting Nicole is not just buying another bag, its supporting a mom, a former military spouse, a woman owned business, a community member, and most importantly, a friend.If you would like to connect with Nicole, the official Bag Lady of the Woods, check out her page, shoot her an email at nicoleforguson@yahoo.com, or send her a text to (573)-433-6574; tell her the Mediocre Mommy sent you to earn 10% off your order of $35 or more; an offer valid only for Mediocre Mommy readers!
