A WORD FROM OUR
REGIONAL DIRECTOR
Brian O'Callaghan
Regional Director, Asia Pacific
The Clean for a Cause campaign in October was a
great success thanks to you! Together Consultants
managed to conduct 1,320 qualifying parties and
sell 1,087 units of the Coastal Body Packs. That
allowed Norwex to contribute $10,000 to the
McGrath foundation in Australia and $5,000 to
the Breast Cancer Foundation of New Zealand.
These donations will assist in a great way with
the Breast Cancer Awareness cause and indeed
in the support of those who need the support
most, be it patients or care-givers. What I really
love about Norwex is the culture of giving back.
There is nothing like the power of a large group
of like-minded people and the difference that they
can make. Not only are we creating Safe Havens
and changing the world together but along the
way we are impacting countless lives through our
charitable initiatives. Hold your heads high, you
are doing great things with Norwex!
As we head into the home-straight of the year it
is good to bring focus back to how we have gone
with partying this year. After all, 2018 has been

Directors Message . Brian O’Callaghan
The Year of the Party! We all know by now that the
most efficient way of promoting Norwex is via the
party. The party puts you in front of an audience of
many and is therefore the best use of your time in
promoting the Norwex Mission. Please don’t get
me wrong, that does not diminish the efforts of
one to one selling or selling via social media or via
any other means at all. Every effort is appreciated.
That being said, you would be pleased to know
that so far this year approximately 34,000 parties
have been conducted by you our Consultants.
We are still shy of the target we set ourselves
at the beginning of the year but there has been
some progress year on year which is great! It is
difficult to know exactly how many people were
in attendance at these parties but statistics would
indicate that there are typically 8 guests at a party,
5 of whom will make a purchase. That translates
to close to 272,000 guests that have heard about
Norwex this year which is just awesome! In turn
approximately 170,000 guests made purchases at
these parties. That means many many more Safe
