Opening Order
We have created your opening order after careful thought to reflect the needs and
uses of the new families that you will be introducing to Little Forest products.
It makes sense that families who you introduce
to Little Forest may desire to purchase up to six different products to start with.
They will want to have the entire Daily Botanicals: 1-2-3 System of Cleanse, Moisturize
and Protect to completely care for their baby's hair and skin care needs. This means
their order should include the Daily Shampoo ($12.50)
and Daily Soap ($5.00 Sale Price: $3.00) to Cleanse;
the Daily Lotion ($12.50) to Moisturize;
and the Daily Barrier Cream ($11.00) and Daily
Powder ($8.00) to protect the diaper area.
Although our Step 3, (Daily Barrier Cream
& Powder) provides assurance that the baby will not get diaper rash caused by
urine in the diaper, it cannot protect against rashes that are caused internally.
Most babies develop diaper rashes that are yeast-related, and are usually brought
on by certain food or passed from a mother with thrush.
Therefore, the families you introduce to Little Forest should be informed of the possibility
of this and should be told to consider purchasing the Therapeutic Botanicals - Baby Soap ($6.00 Sale Price: $3.00) as
well as the Therapeutic Botanicals -Baby Cream ($12.00),
because there is no telling when a fungal-related diaper rash will occur.
This can bring the opening order for
new families to $50 or more! Of course, families that have a baby with cradle cap will need
to purchase two essential products for Cradle Cap:
the Therapeutic Botanicals: Shampoo ($9.50)
and the Therapeutic Botanicals: Baby Oil ($11.00)
, and those with a baby with infant eczema
should purchase the Therapeutic Botanicals: Baby Lotion ($12.00). Or if the family
is active, they might consider starting with some of the products in the Outdoor
Botanicals line, maybe the Baby Sunscreen ($17.00)
.
And what if they know another family who is having a baby soon? They'll want to
pick up a Baby Shower Gift ($35.00) from you as well. As you can see, the initial order
could very easily double if the parents quickly take to any of the other items.
But, as a minimum, you should focus on selling a new family the minimum that they
need to care for their new baby: the entire Daily Botanicalsline and the Diaper
Rash System.
In addition to the Starter Kit, you
can order additional cases of anything off of our Independent
Consultant Reorder Form to be included in your first shipment. We suggest
the Baby Shower Gift to offer for clients that need a present for a baby shower
or a gift for new parents.

Return Policy
Little Forest always stands behind our product 100% and will issue a complete refund
for any product returned by the consumer. As an Independent Consultant you
simply take note of what caused the dissatisfaction, refund the customer's money
and take back the product in question. Next you need to call Little Forest to be
assigned an RA# (Return Authorization Number) and to credit your account. Lastly,
mail the products back to the Little Forest Corporate Office (Little Forest will not
accept COD). Little Forest
does request that you notify us of the customer return within 30 days of that return
in order for us to credit your account. Your account will be credited as soon as
we receive the returned products from you.
Independent Consultants are
also allowed to return inventory in the event that they no longer want to be an
Independent Consultant. Simply arrange to get an RA # (Return Authorization
Number) with Little Forest to return your current unused/unsold inventory, and receive
a refund for 80% of its purchase price (to allow for restocking). Little Forest
will allow Independent Consultants to return their unused/unsold inventory
for a partial refund within the first 30 days of their termination date. Unfortunately,
we cannot issue refunds for products returned after 30 days from termination date.
The Independent Consultant must pay the shipping costs to return the inventory
to Little Forest.
