When I was looking at selling adult novelties, I search all the companies, I can give you tons of reasons why Passion Parties is different than the rest, I also own a bridal shop and didn't want to be known as the sex seller in my small town, I wanted a professional company and that's what PP is, but besides my personal beliefs, which I'm sure the competition would have a come back for, the most important factor is quality, quantity, and price. We carry a larger selection than other companies, we have 2 catalogs, our mild and wild, plus right now we have a wonderful Valentines Day catalog, our quality is top notch, we want to keep our customers happy, not sell them a bunch of junk, and price, I looked at pillow talks web sight, everything that we carry that is similar to theirs is cheaper through us, I'm a price shopper, I like to get the best deal, example, Pure Instinct, which I sell a ton of, it has the pheromones, their price is $25.00 ours is $17.50, bullets our price $11.50
theirs $14.00, actually we had them on sale before Christmas for $8.50, the love swing our price $145. theirs $200, and we have some products that are exclusive just to passion parties, that you can't buy any where else.
When you host a party, you receive a hostess credit from all the sales, which you can use to purchase anything you want, plus we have some items at discounts just for the hostess, we let you pick, many companies just give you something, which may or may not be what you want.
The parties are lots of fun, and educational at the same time, you will learn things you never even knew, plus we keep them professional, you could invite your mom, LOL!
I like the fact that this is my business, Passion Parties is great at letting us run it how we want, and the commissions and bonuses are great too, many of the other companies don't have the pay structure we do, or they have such a high start up that nobody can afford it.
Let me know what you are thinking, you really should do it before Summer is over and our promotion on kits ends!!!, As the book is so great. All you have to do is set the date, invite everyone you know, this is a fun girls night out, provide some munchies, and we'll do the rest.

I just went to one for my friend's bachelorette party and it was fun! The majority of us are young Christian women who are either married, getting married, or are trying to abstain til marriage. BUT we are not old prudes! I think that it's good to focus on married women because there is nothing wrong with having creative sex as long as it doesnt involve animals or other people! We all had a great time and everyone was able to buy something- I got some sheet spray and an antibacterial body wash puff-thingy. That was the third one I've been to, and each time the presenters were respectful and funny as well.
