Imagine generating over 1,000 PV in your first month as an Origami Owl® Designer.
We love celebrating new O2 family members, and we have two New Designers who just achieved that OWL-mazing milestone!
Keep reading to celebrate the successes of all our New Designers who promoted to new recognition levels and achieved big things in their first six months with Origami Owl.
Meet Melissa Emschweiler, Designer
Melissa achieved 1,386 PV in her first month as a Designer!
From: York, Pennsylvania
Team Name: “I do not have a team name, but I like to call myself ladyandthefrenchie for my social media handles. It stems from my love for ©Disney and French Bulldogs. It’s a combination of (Disney’s) Lady and the Tramp and a nickname for French Bulldogs.”
Started O2 Journey: August 4, 2021
So, how did she generate over 1,000 PV in her first month as a Designer?
“I got started right away,” shares Melissa. “I made the decision instantly to become a Designer when I saw that there was a Disney Princess Collection being released. I LOVE Disney and everything that it stands for. I started sharing the products with my friends and family online right away. I have already developed a social media presence around Disney and have many friends across the country who I meet up with in the parks a couple of times a year. Sometimes, it’s just for a fun girls’ getaway, but mostly it’s for runDisney weekends. This gave me a good Customer base to begin with.”
Tips for New Designers
- Go Live. “I go live every morning in my VIP Facebook group before I leave for work to showcase the products I am wearing that day. I am a teacher and that is something easy for me to do even when I’m busy. I’m actually more productive when I’m on a busy, structured schedule.”
- Use Facebook Stories. “I started posting a Facebook story every day since I became a Designer. I never was one to use stories on a regular basis before, but I loved watching other people do it. I noticed when I started posting only about the jewelry that I didn’t get a lot of views on my stories. I could see that people would look at the first thing I posted, but then skip the rest of my story. Now, I post about my life more in my stories and every now and then post the jewelry in it. I want people to know that I’m not a pushy salesperson, but instead someone fun.”
- Don’t be Fearful. “You don’t have to be the sales type to do this. Smile and have fun. Talk to people about the product when they compliment your jewelry, but don’t talk too much. Listen to others and make them feel important. People will love to be around you when you’re caring and compassionate. I hope that when my Customers wear the jewelry they got from me that it will remind them of how I made them feel in the moment when they purchased it from me. Just like the Disney Princess Bangles say, ‘Dare to Dream and Have Kindness, Courage and Strength.’”
Meet Arleth Loya, Designer
Arleth achieved 1,025 PV in her first month as a Designer!
From: Sunland Park, New Mexico
Team Name: Dream Team
Started O2 Journey: August 6, 2021
So, how did she generate over 1,000 PV in her first month as a Designer?
“I thought of friends and family who would wear jewelry, and I reached out to them individually,” shares Arleth. “I didn’t add them all to a group because I feel like people in groups often feel embarrassed to engage with you. When you reach out privately to them, they are more comfortable to ask questions.”
Tips for New Designers
- “Wear the jewelry! This jewelry is very beautiful; it sells itself and more because it’s so customizable and can have a really special meaning for everyone.”
- “Set your sales goal and have a positive attitude.”
- “Reach out to EVERYONE on your contact list.”

Imagine generating over 900 PV and promoting up in your second month as an Origami Owl® Designer.
We love celebrating new O2 family members, and we have a New Designer who just achieved those OWL-mazing milestones!
Keep reading to celebrate the successes of all our New Designers who promoted to new recognition levels and achieved big things in their first six months with Origami Owl.
Meet Susan Eves, Senior Team Leader
Not only did Susan generate 945 PV in July, but she also sponsored five (5) New Designers and promoted to Senior Team Leader – all in her second month as a Designer!
From: West Palm Beach, Florida (rural area known as “The Acreage.”)
Team Name: No team name yet, but working on one for the Think Goodness launch!
Started O2 Journey: June 9, 2021
So, how did she generate over 900 PV, sponsor five New Designers and promote to Senior Team Leader in her second month as a Designer?
“I was able to earn over 900 PV by sharing my new-found love of Origami Owl, my online shop and my VIP Facebook group (Eves Owl VIPs) with family and friends,” shares Susan. “I met new people through others I know, and one of those people was interested in holding a fundraiser Jewelry Bar®. I’d never help a fundraiser before, so I wasn’t sure how it would go. I am pleased to say it went well and the Hostess was pleased with the donation to the recipient. I also made a few purchases for my inventory, and of course, for myself! I grew my team simply by being so excited about Origami Owl! It didn’t take long for my two daughters, a long-time friend, a friend of my daughter (the fundraiser Hostess), and a complete stranger, who found me via ‘Find a Designer’ on the Origami Owl website, to join!”
Tips for New Designers
- “ I continue to share my love for Origami Owl, the products and the opportunities offered on a regular and daily basis with family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances. I’m looking forward to sharing the upcoming launch of Think Goodness, the products, the benefits and the opportunities with others.”
- “ Believe in yourself and the company. Learn all you can. Use the tools provided. Read and watch videos. Communicate with your upline and those you sponsor.”
- “ Enjoy what you do! I proudly wear my Origami Owl Lockets and jewelry every day! I’m my own best advertisement! I always carry Take Out Menus with me, as you never know who you’re going to meet. Everyone is a potential Hostess, Designer, (Purpose Partner) and a friend. Yes, friend. The friends you make who share your same passion are incredible!”

Claudia + Ingrid Chavez, Director
69,487 Team Volume
“Honestly, I was surprised to hear I was No. 1,” shares Claudia. “I never expect things like that because I always ‘work’ my business from the heart. I sometimes forget that I get be recognized for just doing something I absolutely LOVE to do!”
Aimee Johnson, Senior Director
41,066 Team Volume
“The Level Up Leadership Challenge was a great opportunity to rally our teams and leaders,” shares Aimee. “And, our new girls (team members) really got right to work! Achieving No. 2 in the challenge makes me SO PROUD of my incredible, hard-working team. I would not want to be on this adventure with ANYONE else! We are SO READY to take on Think Goodness!”

“I was SO excited to learn I was No. 3 for the Level Up Leadership Challenge,” shares Tami. “You work hard all year with your team, do the things you ‘think’ you should be doing, but never know if it’s enough! When you are recognized for your hard work, it’s something special! After 10 years with Origami Owl, I have a motto that I like to share with my team, ‘outlast them all.’ If you can outlast that person who decided to give up, you will reap the rewards. Be consistent, be positive, be open-minded, and remember to have balance in your life. Laugh a lot, love a lot, and most of all, give yourself grace. Become a better version of yourself each day and watch your business grow; you’ve got this! BOOM!”
