How is Jolica different from other network marketing companies?Jolica's uniqueness lies in the nature of our product. Each item in the Jolica collection has been handcrafted by artisans around the world. This allows us to offer unique items to North Americans. In addition, this allows international artisans to make a living at what they do best - creating beautiful pieces of art. Jolica then makes these products available to North Americans who value the pieces and value the sense of meaning they gain from knowing that their purchase has made a difference in the world.
How do I purchase your products?Jolica is a direct-sales company. Its products are not sold in stores but at home parties through a network of independent gift consultants. We have chosen to present our products at home parties so that guests can also have an opportunity to learn about the artisans behind the products.
Why does Jolica only sell through home parties?The product that Jolica offers is not more "stuff". The pieces we offer to our customers have a story behind them - a story about an artisan and this is what we want to communicate.
Can I order directly through my Gift Consultant?While we strongly encourage customers to attend parties and to host parties, it is possible to place an order through a gift consultant independently as a catalog order.
In what countries do Jolica's artisans live?Currently Jolica is actively involved with artisans from Chile, Peru, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Nepal and Thailand.
What projects has the Jolica Foundation been involved with?The Jolica Foundation is currently working with Mennonite Economic Development Associates in a project in Afghanistan which supports women there to plant "kitchen gardens". In these gardens they grow food for their family and extra to sell in the local markets. The income they earn through these sales help them to take care of their families, restoring stability in this war-ravaged country. We recently celebrated the completion of a project in Tanzania which combatted the spread of malaria by distributing insecticide treated mosquito nets to pregnant women.
