Mary kay Business - How To Succeed In A Mary Kay Business
Mary Kay Ash, the founder of Mary Kay Inc is an inspirational figure for women in business all over the world. After working for 25 years in the direct sales industry, she eventually became disillusioned about the limited advancement opportunities for women, regardless of their business credentials. Mary Kay used her meagre $5000 in savings to launch her own line of beauty products in 1963 and has never looked back. To date, the Mary Kay brand has generated in excess of $2.4 billion in sales.
The Mary Kay product range
Mary Kay Business offers an extensive range of beauty products including make-up, skin care products, spa treatments and fragrances. The range also includes a sun protection range and a line of products specifically for men.
Making money with Mary Kay Business
Don’t be misled into thinking that you have to be a woman to be a Mary Kay Business agent; you don’t. However, due to the product range and the inspirational background of Mary Kay Ash’s success, the business does primarily attract women. The Mary Kay business model involves direct sales (i.e. – selling to people you know or come into contact with) and so it’s probably much easier for women to quickly establish a network of potential customers. Unlike other Multi Level Marketing businesses, Mary Kay do not require you to recruit other agents and so the money you make as a representative is based entirely on your own sales. However, the rate of commission offered by Mary Kay is exceptional, at 50%. The main marketing strategies for Mary Kay include internet, printed catalogues and hosting product parties usually, although not necessarily, in your own home.
If you’re looking for a full time career opportunity, direct sales for the Mary Kay Business may not be your best option unless you’re fortunate enough to have access to a huge potential customer base. However, if you’re just looking to generate a second income, selling Mary Kay products could be ideal. There are several advantages to working with Mary Kay Business:
- No pressure to recruit other agents
- A generous 50% commission on sales
- An excellent discount on Mary Kay products for yourself
- Flexible working arrangements; you can tailor your hours to fit around current commitments
- Low start up costs; you can be up and running for an initial investment of $50
- An enjoyable job; if you love your beauty products, this won’t feel like work
It’s important to point out that the Mary Kay business model (including the recruiting of agents and rates of commission) do vary slightly from country to country. The above information relates to Mary Kay Inc USA.

How much does it cost to start a Mary Kay business?
I am in grad school and thought I could make some money doing Mary Kay, how is the best way to go about this?
Hi! I am a Mary Kay Consultant. I started in February, so I have a good idea of the current costs!
Your starter kit only costs $100, but you need to place a $200 order to actually be considered an "active consultant." (That is $400 retail; you pay half price for everything.) Also, you need to order at least $200 ($400 retail) every 3 months (I think) to keep receiving that 50% price.
If you are going to get out there and start selling right away using your starter kit, it's not hard to do. But your Director may suggest you place that $600 order yourself so you can have more samples and "inventory."
I really like Mary Kay, but I do have to warn you that it is NOT a get rich quick company. You CAN get a lot of money, but it takes TIME and ENERGY, and most of the money comes from recruiting others. You really have to get out there and meet people and sell! They recommend giving 30 facials in 30 days as a "Power Start."
Mary Kay is a GREAT company....but it does take a lot of time, so maybe wait until after Grad school to start. I would rather you have a good experience with the whole process than feel "duped" and lose money because you just don't have the time to make it work for you!
Hope this helped!
[To receive bonuses..."An Independent Beauty Consultant's initial order with the Company must equal $600 or more in wholesale Section 1 products to be eligible (for the 50% price.)" That is $1200 retail. You can wait and get that in actual sales, but there is another free bonus for you if you place it within 15 calendar days. So, yes, the kit is $100, but they expect you to place an order fairly soon. And it does help you to have more stuff than just the starter kit!]
