Crafted With Care
If you caught any of Lillian’s posts while she recently visited China, then you saw some amazing behind-the-scenes peeks of Bomb Party’s international manufacturing partners. If your customers have questions, be sure to refer to our May 6, 2024, post in the Active Rep Facebook group, and share that info with them as you wish.
For over eight years now, Bomb Party has worked with business partners and fabricators in China to manufacture our unique pieces. These well-respected production partners have developed durable plating capabilities, hand-painting enamel techniques, and other design aspects that you’ve come to know and trust from BP jewelry.
The rings are designed in the USA, manufactured abroad, and then shipped to Alabama. From there, the rings are placed inside the hand-made fizzy bombs assembled by Bomb Party Home Office employees called Makers. That fizzy goodness is hand-packed with a surprise-and-delight treasure inside just for you and your customers!
If you didn’t get to see posts of Lillian’s visit, visit the Bomb Party Official TikTok to watch!

Capped Ordering Reminder
We’d like to remind everyone to ONLY order the capped amount—or less—during the capped launches for any given collection. Whether or not a bundle is available, it is still your responsibility to check your cart before purchasing to make sure it is accurate and that you are only purchasing the capped amounts during the capped timeframes.
If you’ve ordered over the capped amount during a capped launch, you are then notified that your Bomb Party account will be moved into a temporary “suspended” status during the next launch and will remain suspended until the morning of the following day. While your account is temporarily suspended, you will not be able to log into your Back Office for any reason.
We encourage you to take a moment when ordering, review your cart, and do your best to keep it from happening. And we’ll do our best to support you as best as we can with each and every product launch.

Rep Recruiting Methods & Tools
We have unfortunately seen a growing number of violations of policy 7.1, which discusses recruiting methods and tools. It all boils down to this: you are not allowed to pay for your new Rep's starter kit in any way, shape, or form.
Along those lines, there has been an increase in Reps paying for and shipping inventory to other Reps, which includes addresses that are not the address on file. This is a violation of policy and claiming “we didn’t know” is not an excuse. Whether this is inventory or starter materials, payment for enrollment and other materials may only be made by the applicant using a credit card in their name, or in the name of a member of their household (used with full permission from the cardholder). Let us reiterate: Payment by anyone other than the enrollee is not permitted; shipping inventory to any other Rep is not permitted, unless it is an official, documented Rep to Rep order.
Keep in mind, when enrolling a new Party Rep through the online enrollment process, the sponsor may assist the new applicant in filling out the enrollment materials, but the applicant must personally review and agree to the Party Rep Agreement, the Policies, the Privacy Policy, and the Bomb Party Compensation Plan. The sponsor may neither fill out any portion of the online contract on behalf of the applicant nor agree to these materials, policies, and agreements on behalf of the applicant.

Dominican Republic
The beach is calling; are you ready to answer? We’re planning to send out some progress emails, right around the middle to end of this month. The official half-way point is at the end of May, so we’ll audit all your May data and send the emails by the middle to end of June, so you know where you currently stand with your points earned so far.
The emails will be sent in categories to our top earners with their approximate ranking, followed by those who have earned over a certain number of points. If a Rep has earned less than 1,000 points over the last five months, they won’t see a point-tracking email.
No matter where you are, we encourage you to, “KEEP GOING!” To stay in the know, use the tracker found in your Back Office under Resources > Events > Dominican Republic Trip Tracker. If you need to peek at the FAQ, go to Back Office > Resources > FAQs > Dominican Republic 2025 FAQ

Field Education: Training
In May, Lindsay created a poll of our most popular training lessons from the summer of 2023, and she asked you which "oldie but goodie" lessons you wanted her to bring back this summer. Your top two requests were "Responsibilities of a Sponsor" and "13 Lessons from a Marketing Mastermind." If you've already watched those trainings last year, we encourage you to watch them again for a refresher, or, if you have not had a chance to see them, this month will be your chance! Watch for the lessons on June 6 and 20 at noon CT in the BPU Continuing Education Facebook group. link to group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bpucontinuinged
