Individuals have truly responded to this chance to help adoring parents give their children the Chez Ami apparel they love.
Background
Patsy Aiken founded Chez Ami in Coronado, California approximately 30 years ago. The company began and still is known as Patsy Aiken Designs, which is currently located in Raleigh, North Carolina. Patsy began the company with the vision of selling her children's apparel designs to a local boutique store at the same time as her husband was still a Navy aviator. Her own son and daughter were the fitting models as she labored to sew her garments in a little space on top of her garage.
Once Joel, her husband, retired from the Navy a few years later, be joined the company as the person overseeing information technology and all finance matters. He stills works in that capacity as Patsy oversees all the design and manufacturing of the clothing.
As Patsy Aiken Designs grew, they wanted to change their distribution from upscale department and specialty stores. They chose to sell their children's clothing designs using independent distributors and started Chez Ami.
Products
The Chez Ami product lines are fashionable and seasonal children's clothing. All designs and manufacturing are overseen by Patsy Aiken. With the exception on sweaters, tights and a few hair accessories, most of the products are manufactured in the U. S.
Chez Ami produces a seasonal catalog two times a year. All designs are prepared with bright, bold, primary and secondary colors, and they are manufactured using the highest quality knits and woven fabrics. The designs are so well-liked that the unused fabrics are sold by the yard on the Chez Ami website and numerous people use them to make their own designs at home.
Products include clothing designs for:
- Babies, Toddlers, and Children up to about 10 to 12 years
- Swimwear
- Nightwear
- Hair Accessories
- Holiday Designs
- Monogram options for specific designs
Distribution Structure
As Patsy and Joel began weaning away from expensive department retail stores, they decided to begin an independent sales network for their products. The process is that as people sign up to become Sales Consultants for Chez Ami, they use planned home parties as their sales tool. Chez Ami chooses only specific selling periods for every Sales Consultant between Jan-April, and July-October.
The Sales Consultants have a $100 seasonal commitment for the first season and $50 for each season thereafter. No inventory is required, however, and Sales Consultants enjoy other great benefits such as:
- 40% discounts on Chez Ami merchandise
- Cash commissions for all sales
- First choice at end-of-season sales
- Bonuses for performance recognition
Sales Consultants are supported by Chez Ami by receiving extensive sales support and marketing materials, including seasonal catalogs, invitations, and order forms. Chez Ami also has a mentoring program that provides help and guidance for new Sales Consultants with their first season of sales. Commissions are paid to Sales Consultants not only on the sales at a home party but also as year-round orders placed directly by customers. In addition, other income and bonuses can be earned by recruiting additional sales reps to work alongside the Sales Consultant.
It's always in style to have children wearing quality, durable and good looking clothes. Not only if you have children but you are passionate about great quality clothing for all children, you may want to look into becoming a Chez Ami Sales Consultant and starting your own venture.
