Business Opportunity FAQ

The sex toy party business is growing at a very rapid pace, so it is important to pick the right company and sponsor team. Here are some of the questions you should ask during your research along with answers from For Your Pleasure (FYP) and the Pleasure Experts team:

Q: How long has your company been in business? 
A: You can always verify these facts with the Secretary of State. The make or break time-frame historically for businesses is 5 – 8 years. For Your Pleasure has been doing business since 1995. Visit our about us page for more information.

Q: Is the inventory housed at your location or do you have to order in? 
A: FYP has over 9000 sq ft of warehouse space to store merchandise and we are currently expanding our facilities. If merchandise is not fully housed at that location a red warning light should be flashing. This is usually an indicator of delayed shipments and higher back orders.

Q: Who are the principal owners? 
A: Again, this information is available with the Secretary of State in any State. FYP’s President and CEO alone has over 25 years in business, sales, marketing and finance. Our owner is a woman who created a formula allowing maximum profits to be absorbed by FYP reps. This formula has provided a solid foundation, low turnaround rate and a rapidly growing steady pace for the company. Visit our about us page for more information.

Q: How high does your commission plan go? 
A: Most well known companies pay 40-50% but most also require that you use your profits to pay for standard business expenses. To find out your true commission profits you must deduct all standard business expenses. Are hostess rewards free? Is customer credit card processing free? How often do the catalogs and order forms change per year? FYP provide you with free hostess rewards, credit card processing and our catalogs run every two years. Our base commission plans run from 40-50%, plus up to 10% in monthly bonuses and you can also earn up to 20% commission on 5 LEVELS deep on team sales. Visit our opportunity page for more information.

Q: Do I have to collect sales tax and submit it myself? 
A: This is another area that many sex toy party reps express displeasure over. For Your Pleasure submits the sales tax to the individual states, meaning less work for you.

Q: Do I have to carry inventory to my parties? 
A: It is not necessary to lug anything but a kit and a smile. FYP has a very streamlined operating structure designed to give you more money with less time invested. We call ourselves "The Working Smarter - Not Harder" Company. Companies save money when you carry the inventory to parties in several ways.

Q: Do I need to obtain a Merchant Credit Card Account? 
A: At For Your Pleasure we process all credit card sales for you at not cost. There is no need to obtain a credit card merchant account and pay per card transaction fees, batch fees, monthly account membership fees, etc.

Q: What do you really mean by the impulse sale? Fact or Fallacy? 
A: For Your Pleasure reps have very high show averages mainly due to the large assortment we offer and our generous hostess rewards plan. Customers expect a large assortment as these products are not readily available at local stores. We carry over 1000 products to choose from resulting in a higher percentage of repeat and long term customers.

Q: Do I have to pay for the Hostess Rewards Program?
A: Our hostess rewards plan is FREE to all FYP reps. Many sex toy party reps pay partial or full expenses on hostess rewards which can deduct 5-10% of their profits. Our plan is so generous that our booking rewards alone with get your hostess another $160 in free merchandise, plus 2 bonus gifts and a 65% off coupon when 4 of her guest host a qualified party within the 6 months time frame. Visit our hostess rewards page for more information.

Q: What is a qualified party?
A: In order for the hostess to qualify for her hostess rewards, she must achieve a minimum of $150 in sales before, during, or after the party. Pre-orders and online orders do count for her credits.

Q: What additional expense do customers pay on top of product retail?
A: FYP charges each customer a flat $4.95 for shipping and handling with the option of choosing direct customer delivery for an additional $3.00. They will also be charged the local taxes of where the products are being delivered. This is an important question to ask. Some companies use a sliding scale based on the total retail, which means customers can expect to spend $4.00 - $15.00 if not higher. Some reps try to balance this by charging the customer one flat medium rate and absorbing the cost on some customers. Again taking out of their commission profits!

Q: Can I take my business to the web and would my commission rate change?
A: For Your Pleasure Independent Business Associates are encouraged to build a web presence with our assistance. We will help you get your site up on the web for online purchases at the same commission plan.

Q: Do you have a color catalog?
A: Yes – we have professional quality made color catalogs that change every 2 years, not change every 4-6 months. Some even have you print catalogs from pdf files or a CD which can be quite costly in ink cartridges and good quality paper.

Q: How long does a customer have to wait for their orders once I submit it?
A: For Your Pleasure Inc. houses its entire inventory. We average same day turnaround on am orders/shows and next day turnaround (sometimes- same day) on pm order/shows. The process is streamlined and everything is packaged and individually labeled when shipped to your hostess/customer. Even other sex toy party reps providing inventory at their parties have an average longer shipping time. No one can possibly guess what each customer will buy for each party. So that means more merchandise which is then shipped to the rep for her/him to pack, label and ship it out again or spend gas and valuable time doing deliveries themselves. Which of the above systems is more time efficient, cost efficient? Don’t get into the packing and shipping business! Your time is valuable! Use it on more important issues …growing your business! 

Q: Which system is better for the seasoned sex toy party professional or the beginner?
A: That's easy ..just read about our flexible program and compare it to others! With For Your Pleasure, you will never have to worry about high monthly sales minimums, money tied up or loss in inventory, worse trying to guess what customers will like. You don’t have to worry about paying for hostess rewards, per credit card transaction fees, submitting local state taxes on purchases, etc. With the advent of the internet and the way people are changing how they do business ie.. job seekers freelancing more and looking for ways to make more money with less effort, we know we are the solution for those already in the Sex Toy Party industry or those just now getting their feet wet.

Q: What is the minimum in sales I have to maintain in order to stay active?
A: For Your Pleasure reps have to sell a minimum of $150 every six months to stay active

Q: Do you restrict themed parties or gender specific?
A: Your Hostess is free to invite any gender. It’s her/his party and their guests. We do ask that all guest know what to expect in advance. Whether its just a girls night out for fun, bachelorette / bachelor, a sleep over slumber party or a passion party theme or a pleasure party, etc. Create a theme or pick one…it’s up to your hostess.

Q: If I am with another sex toy company can I use my current kit to switch over? 
A: We have a cross over program that allows us to compare which products you have in your kit that For Your Pleasure offers their customers. If there are enough products comparable to one of our purchase kits you can switch over without earning or purchasing a kit. This must be approved from home office management.
