With a company name like Cookie Lee, you might think Theresa Flores McCauley had something sweet for sale at the Fall Expo Home and Garden and Outdoorsman Show Saturday.
Crowds of women cleared the table displaying some of the hundreds of jewelry pieces offered showed by the direct sales company.
McCauley, an independent jewelry consultant with the company, said she believes it is the first time a company representative has been at an Enid show.
“We’ve had a lot of people stop by interested in doing shows and getting information about the business,” McCauley said. “I was really excited to see all the reactions you get from the ladies.”
McCauley said the direct-sales company allows consultants like herself to host home or office shows or fundraisers using the company’s jewelry and fashion accessories.
The home-based business allows for extra or part-time income for women who still want to work but spend time with their kids, she said.
“It’s pretty easy,” she said. “You just set it out, and the women eat it up.”
McCauley said prices range from $15 to $48.
“There is nothing over $50,” she said, describing the items as “designer inspired at a reasonable price.”
McCauley said the company works closely with American Cancer Society and had a special necklace and bracelet designed, with a $1 from each sale going to the organization.
“That’s one of the things I like about the company.” she said. “They give back a lot.
A recent transplant to Oklahoma, McCauley said the company helps her meet new people.
“I just moved here in May,” the Mustang resident said. “I like to use Cookie Lee to get to know people and hang out with the ladies.”
