Become a Perfume Reseller
How does the business work?
At Papillon our business model is straightforward and simple.
There are no sales targets, complex demotion rules, or multi-level reselling/reseller structures. Papillon offers support and advice to start, develop and grow your own sustainable Papillon business.
We value our reseller relationships, and their success is important to us, therefore we offer:
• free marketing tools, images, and guidelines to help you succeed.
• We do not sell directly to the public or in any retail outlets, instead, we only supply products through our reseller network.

You buy Papillon products at wholesale (volume discounted) prices and sell them to your customers for a profit. You can go about this in 2 ways.
- Use your tester kit to collect monthly orders from your customers, order and pay for your order on our online shop, wait for your order to arrive then deliver the order to your customers.
OR
- Buy stock and keep stock levels so you can supply customer orders immediately. This option is great if you have an established customer base.
All orders must be placed on the online shop and you must pay for your order in full before we can dispatch it to you. Once you have placed and paid for your order via our secure online shop on our website, you will receive a confirmation of your order with your courier details and tracking number.
We use Bobgo couriers who will deliver to your door. In outlying areas, we may use Pargo (pickup point service) to ensure your products arrive safely, and on time. Delivery takes 1 to 4 working days, depending on your location. Delivery fees apply but decreases as your invoice value increases.
- Huge Market – with potential customers from all demographics (age, sex, education level, income level and race)
- Excellent Value Proposition – original branded perfume have become unaffordable due to the weakening of the rand, inflation, and the increase of luxury goods tax. Our products are on average 5 times less expensive than original branded products but of comparable quality. It is important to note that this is a word-of-mouth product (the quality and value proposition, therefore, sells the product).
- Top-quality – we only source the highest quality compounds for all our products.
- Flexibility of our business model – low start-up costs: for as little as R200 (Inc. VAT and delivery, nationally only), you can:
• Be your own boss
• On your own time: Part-time or full-time
• Decide how big or small you want the opportunity to be – the sky is the limit! - Our products are easy to sell – anyone can be a reseller.
- Excellent profits – between R30 – R180 per unit depending on the products ordered.
- Free access to personalised marketing material and designs – to promote your business
• Flyers, business cards, banners, bunting, shirts etc. – you only pay for the printing and market material cost – not the design!
• We are a paperless Company and therefore use Social media, WhatsApp, and Emails to communicate news and specials.
• Our Facebook Page – https://www.facebook.com/papillonperfume/ – is updated regularly with posts that you can share to your personal Facebook page. WhatsApp / Email messages sent from us to you may be forwarded to your customers.
