New business: Kettlewell joins Initials, Inc.

Julie Kettlewell of Gaylord has joined Initials, Inc. as a creative partner. Initials, Inc. is a national direct sales party plan company based in Georgia that offers women the opportunity to create a part-time or full-time income for themselves while enjoying the flexibility of working from home.

Kettlewell showcases personalized handbags, totes, children’s items, candles, jewelry and more with the help of hostesses who open up their homes to friends and family to share the Initials, Inc. experience. The product concept is unique in that items can be personalized for each individual by choosing the style of the product, trim color and monogramming, and thread color. The many options result in products that reflect each individual’s personality.

“It’s like having someone bring an exclusive boutique to your home,” said Kettlewell, “which makes the shopping experience fun, convenient and stress free.”

And although the home party format is not new, noted Kettlewell, the concept of personalizing the products for each guest is very innovative. “I love helping other women discover their own ‘sassy style’ as they create their own purse or tote or business case.”

Initials, Inc. was founded in 2005 by Ivy Hall and Britney Vickery, two sisters with a mutual desire to start a home-based business that would afford them more freedom and more time with their families. In just three short years the company has experienced tremendous growth, and is helping women all over America to find creativity, flexibility and success in their own lives.

“I am pleased to be affiliated with a company that seeks to inspire and empower women everywhere,” said Kettlewell. “To my knowledge, I am currently the only Creative Partner north of Grand Rapids, and I am very excited to be breaking new ground up here. I am hoping other women will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.”
