Direct Sales Business Channel
Lia Sophia Jewelry Business Opportunity
The Kiam
family has owned and
operated the Lia Sophia
direct sales jewelry company
since 1986. Their trendy,
bold designs have been
featured in fashion
magazines such as Vogue and
Brides. Celebrities have
even been spotted out on the
town wearing Lia Sophia
pieces. The Lia Sophia
catalog has three Red Carpet
Collections. The Petra
collection was introduced at
the MTV Music Awards in
September 2007 and features
jewelry that is reminiscent
of ancient Asian metalwork.
The Petra II Collection was
debuted in New York in
November 2007. The West End
collection was unveiled
January 2008 at the Sundance
Film Festival and contains
pieces that were inspired by
the fun, graphic style of
the 60s. All products can be
ordered from Lia Sophia
jewelry advisors or from the
online catalog. There is a
lifetime replacement
guarantee for jewelry with
manufacturer's defects.
Customers can also take
advantage of the company's
buy two, get one free
program.
Jewelry advisors can
purchase a starter kit for
$149, but the company often
has promotions that allow
advisors to earn a full
rebate on the kit. The kit
contains $1100 worth of
jewelry, displays,
accessories, and business
materials for six shows.
Advisors can build a
downline and earn 40%
commission on their own
sales as well as 10% on
their team sales. The Lia
Sophia company offers
regular contests and
incentives, including an
annual trip. Advisors must
sell $250 a quarter to
remain active.
