Stella & Dot jewelry

You may have already heard about Stella & Dot jewelry created by our New York based design team, coveted by celebrities and featured on Gossip Girl, in Lucky Magazine, In Style and Cosmo?

This could be a dream internship in fashion and social selling for your students.  They’ll get hands-on, resume building experience learning real-world skills in marketing, sales, e-commerce, public relations/speaking, and fashion merchandising while earning a great income.  They must apply and be accepted to this program to be eligible for training, incentives and financial aid.  If they are enthusiastic, tenacious, self-disciplined and eager to engage in sales, this might be the opportunity for them!  Please visit our site to read student profiles of success.

Earning potential?  Our stylists earn an average of $300 at a 2-hour trunk show.  Stella & Dot stylists decide how much they earn by how much they work.  Simply, they earn 25-30% of your personal sales.

How interested students can get started:

ü  Find  application online
ü  Brainstorm potential hostesses for first 4 shows.  Think friends, family, sorority sisters, and classmates.
ü Indicate on application who referred them to STEP – me
o   Andrea Drouillard
o   Stylist ID:  137586
o   Andrea.drouillard@gmail.com
ü  Submit application with a copy of student ID
ü  Schedule a phone interview

Once accepted, the cost (tuition) of the program is $199 for your starting materials.  I earned my investment and MORE back after my first trunk show!  The “tuition” includes marketing materials, training (printed and online), step-by-step business guide, $350 in free jewelry and 50% off any additional samples you want to purchase to build out your business!

I hope you’ll share this opportunity with your students.

Best,

Andrea Drouillard – Independent Stylist

Face to Face Matters

 If you are digging social media for business use, and if you are sure you are going to be around MSU for at least another year, and if you have (or expect to have by May) your New Media Driver's License then consider this possibility:

From: Jack Pyle (Independent Consultant and Executive Coach)

I'm looking for an intern who wants to become proficient at inbound marketing (SEO and social media marketing.) I've been studying this over the past four months and it is working. Visits to my website have increased from about 20 a month to nearly 400 last month, up 74% from the previous month. I have been sick this month and have done no social media marketing, yet my website visits are up 40%. Once you get the ball rolling people keep coming.

I want to spend most of my time developing my leadership communication content into podcasts, videos, webinars, articles and short ebooks. I will help my intern learn to do these things as well, and aid me in promoting them online.

Initially, I am unable to pay an intern, but as the income flow picks up, I will pay an hourly rate of $10 and increase it as income increases. I also am willing to pay a percentage of income in the future.

My approach with interns is to provide mentoring, establish productivity goals and give autonomy, so that the intern can work at their own pace and make their own decisions about their work flow to achieve agreed on results.
