My Goal My Effort My Results
Example a Demi Base bag
Example • Meet with Rep to plan event. • Carry a Miche bag (my own or borrowed from my Rep)
Example • Wow! I worked with my Miche Rep and reached my goal! No need for me to buy dis-counted product..with Miche, I earned it for FREE! • I get together with a great group of ladies and we all had a wonderful time AND I achieved my goal of earning a Demi bag and two Shells!
Example Shell #1 - Kris
Example • Create an Event on my Facebook page for the Party! • Send Rep’s website link to guests. This en-sures that guests and their friends can see the online catalogue and place an order (even if they cannot attend). Make sure they know that you are the Hostess, as this will add to your Party sales!
Example • The girls and I had a great night! I have never seen so many excited women in one place at the same time. • My Rep walked me through the process ev-ery step of the way. The night of the party was all about the fashion and the social aspect.
Example Shell #2 - Dawn
Example • Personally invite friends and encourage them to bring a guest. • Send out e-mail reminders. • Get your Rep’s suggestions on how you can earn even more! • Phone to confirm Party attendees.
Example • Every woman carries a purse but only Miche can make that purse a fashion statement.
Example Accessory - Black Rope Handles
Example • Mail out invitations. • Hang up Miche posters at work.
Example • That night I had a total of $1,500 in net sales, one party booked and a whole lot of fun! • Looking forward to my friend’s upcoming Party, I know it’s going to be fun! I can’t wait to see the new releases and I will receive my Black Rope handles too, just because she booked with me!

The very best way to safely store a Shell collection is to use our Closet Organizer. Our Closet Organizers come in two sizes: one for Classic and/or Petite Shells and one for Demi and/or Prima Shells! When storing our flat-sided Classic Shell, do not fold it into thirds—instead, leave one end flat. This is just the way your Shell was folded when you received it! If you choose to stack multiple Shells instead of using our Closet Organizer, be sure to place a protective barrier between them such as tissue paper or fabric to prevent color transfer. Our Slip Covers work great for this purpose! A Shell can also be affected by heat and humidity, so they should be stored at room temperature.
How to Store a Shell
Basic Shell CareThe original concept of the Miche Bag was inspired by a spill, so we made sure our Shells are simple to care for! For most faux leather designs, simply wipe the Shell with a damp cloth should it become soiled—so fast, so easy, so Miche! The Miche Bag is designed to expand; however, if you notice the sides of your bag are losing their shape, you are overstuff-ing your purse!
