Why should I consider Norwex as a business opportunity?
We need more people to help share the Norwex mission! Currently, Norwex is in around 4% of American homes! That means 96% of American homes do not yet have Norwex!! That’s 96 out of 100 people who have never used an Enviro Cloth & Window Cloth for their mirrors! 😲 If you love the products and love sharing things you love with your friends, then I invite you to consider the Norwex Opportunity! People are ready to get chemicals OUT of their homes, but they also want products that WORK … Norwex products are safe, affordable, AND effective, saving you both time and money on your cleaning and personal care.
What is it that is inspiring you to check out the business side of Norwex?
People start their own businesses like this for a variety of reasons! Some on my team chose it because they want to live a debt-free lifestyle, and Norwex provides a way to earn the extra to pay off debt. Others want to supplement their retirement with something FUN. For others, it’s all about the flexible schedule, being able to stay home with the kiddos, or maybe the fact that Norwex does not place a ceiling on what you can earn through their compensation plan. For some it’s paying for the “extras”, earning free trips, making new friends, teaching people about harmful chemicals and helping them live a healthier lifestyle.
- 🌎 Meaningful work…we are a company with an world-changing mission
- ⌚️ Flexible schedule (allowing you to be a stay-at-home parent if you want or work your Norwex biz alongside your job)
- 💵 Great income potential (hobby income, part-time income, or even potential full-time income–depending on your goals and personal results!)
- 🧁 A night out of the house… often including dessert, wine & great people
- 💃 An incredible team of people to work with

- 🏆 Recognition for your hard work from Norwex Corporate & our team (HELLO rewards & recognition!)
- 🌟 Opportunities to develop as a leader

- 🏝 Earning vacations to FUN places with sunshine, ocean, and sand! 😎🌞🌊
The list could go on and on, but what’s YOUR reason? What might Norwex provide for you? How might it be a solution that YOU are looking for?
How much does it cost to get started & what products come in the Starter Kit?
The Norwegian Way Plus Kit route (where Norwex ships your Starter Kit right away for less than $10 S&H), the only up-front cost is $9.95! Norwex is SO generous that many consultants earn their kit for free! If you’re not opposed to FREE and giving Norwex a 3 party try, this is definitely my favorite option!
There are 2 ways to join Norwex (as of the time of this update August 2026)! One of the options are without sales requirement, which is the Norwegian Way $125 Join Kit! This one does not have the option to earn it for free. You simply pay the $125 up front and get your Norwex Consultant number and start with Norwex consultant privileges.


Norwex FAQs: For the Standard Kit Option (the kit with the FULL Norwegian Way Plus Package!), the only up-front expense is $9.95! Norwex is so generous, they allow new consultants to earn their kits for FREE*!
Check out this video for more details of what it looks like as of August 9, 2026, but be sure to check for the most recent Norwex consultant join kit offerings for the current month! ⬇️
Here’s what comes in the Starter Kit! So many great products and business supplies! There are even party cards to read at your first party if you’re nervous about what to say! (Be SURE to check what the specific Bright Start Rewards are in your specific joining month, as these are specific as of August 8, 2026 and subject to change.)

You mentioned that I can earn my Norwex Consultant Join Kit/ Starter Kit for FREE? How do I do that?
When you choose the Norwegian Way PLUS Join Kit Option, you can earn your Norwex Starter Kit completely free:
As a new consultant, when you have at least $1500 in Subtotal A retail sales in your first 45 days, you earn your kit for FREE! With the 35% consultant discount, $1500 in retail sales gives you about $525 in earnings! For many of our new consultants, they meet this goal with their first 2-4 party sales! If you choose a Kit Builder, those sales also immediately count toward this $1500 sales goal!!! 😍
It’s as easy as hosting your own party and a friend or family member hosting one as well! Or it can even be upgrading your kit, shopping for your own home, and collecting orders from family & friends!
Did I mention the consultant’s 35% earnings from $2,000 in retail sales is $700?!

What comes in the Norwex Kit? ⬆️⬆️⬆️ So many of my FAVES, including an incredible line-up of the Norwex SPECIALTY CLEANERS!!! 😍
Can I upgrade my starter kit so that I get more products when I first sign up as a consultant?
Yes you can! And I highly recommend doing so!
During sign-up, you will have the one-time opportunity to choose either one or both Kit Builders/ Upgrade Bundles.
The Norwex Kit Builders are only available at the time of sign-up. Here are the reasons I like them:
- In addition to the 35% consultant discount you get an EXTRA discount of 10% on these kits, as well as some free business supplies to help you get started!
- These products that are hand-picked to help you get off to the best start!
- The full 100% retail price of the upgrade package is credited towards your $1,500 in 45 days goal!
- You get the top-selling products (including my fave… the MOP!) into your hands super – FAST!
- By choosing BOTH Upgrade Bundles, you also earn the fabulous Bright Start New Consultant Reward Gift right away, AND it counts toward your Personal Retail Sales (PRS) to earn your Starter Kit for FREE!
- A small investment for a BIG return! You’ll be so glad you took advantage this.

What happens if I don’t have $1,500 in my first 45 days?
Most consultants earn their starter kits for free in their first month by having 2-3 parties! I love partnering with my new team members to help them meet their goals and earn income for their families! If something happens, and you aren’t able to meet that goal, you would then simply pay $250 for your Norwegian Way PLUS Join Kit on Day 46 (it’s worth way more than that and you want these products in your home anyway)! The great thing is that even if you only sell $600 worth of product (i.e. your first party), with your 35% consultant percentage, you could earn $210. That would pay for your starter kit AND shipping!!
But let’s help you earn it for FREE!
(And, if you chose the no-sales-required Norwegian Way Kit for $125, the $1500 is not required to earn the kit for free- it was simply the $125 up front without the option to earn it for free.)
What are my requirements to keep my Norwex Account Active?
You need to sell $250 (retail) in Norwex products in a rolling 3-month period to keep your account Active.
If you are buying the product for yourself that is about $162.50 at consultant cost with your 35% discount. The average party is $500-$600 so you’ll likely find yourself meeting these minimums without even trying! And… there is NO annual renewal fee as long as you meet this minimum requirement. Gotta love that!
Can I actually make money with Norwex?
Absolutely! Company wide, the average party is about $220 in commission. So the more parties you do the more you can earn. Consultants who have the strongest start tend to have 4 parties in their first 45 days. This includes two of their own launch parties.
Whether you’re looking for an extra $200 a week, $1,000 a month or more, you can definitely earn income with Norwex! One thing I love about Norwex is all consultants can earn income at the 35%… right out of the gates! All consultants earn a 35% discount/ commission!
You can also earn an additional stream of income by sharing Norwex with others and building a team! There are nine levels of Norwex leadership you can progress through to earn even more money as you grow your team by helping others reach their goals!
Whether you’re looking for extra cash to pay off debt, go on your dream vacation, stay home with your kids, remodel your house, replace a full-time income… I invite you to consider the Norwex opportunity! It’s been life-changing for me, AND, we get to make the world a better place at the same time!
I often get asked for an outline of the Norwex Compensation Plan, so I did this video for you those of you who are visual like me. 🙂
Should I Become a Norwex Consultant?
That’s a much more personal question than “How do I become a Norwex consultant?”
After more than 17 years with Norwex, I’ve written an entire article about why I joined, what surprised me, what I’ve learned and the questions I’d encourage you to ask yourself before deciding.
Do I get anything special if I sign up this month?
Why yes you do! To get this month’s specific sign-on bonuses, send me a quick text and I’ll get you all the details! Not only do you get 3 MONTHS of FREE Office Suite (which is normally $9.99/month!) and you get to roll out NEW PRODUCTS to your friends, family, and customers, you also get to start earning toward a free, all-inclusive Norwex trip at the beginning of the earning period!
When is the best time to sign up with Norwex?
I know when I was first getting started, I couldn’t get my Starter Kit fast enough! I knew I’d just figure it all out as I went! I was ignorance-on-fire (being totally clueless about the party industry), but I had a strong belief that these products needed to be in every home, which I still believe over 17 years later. I immediately started implementing the guidance that my leader provided and earned my Starter Kit for free within a few weeks! I believe that you can do the same!
If you’re more of a strategic planner, many of my new team members get their first 3-4 parties on their calendar before joining so they can jump right in. Super Success Tip: Schedule one or two parties within your first 2 weeks after sign-up to get off and rolling. We have awesome online workshop/ demo training, along with the party verbiage cards that come in your kit, so you don’t have to worry about not knowing what to do! We’ve got you covered! Just put the dates on your calendar! You’ll be so glad you did! 😍 As your mentor, I’ll guide you through EXACTLY how I recommend doing those first few parties to get off to the strongest start! 🤩 I share my full party formula with my team, as well as weekly support calls!
Choosing my Kit Builder packages will allow you to get your Party Starter Kit & Kit Building Order in the mail ASAP so you’re ready to rock your first party!! Then determine how much income would be helpful to you from your new Norwex endeavor and plan how many parties (online or in-home) you will want to do to reach that goal. Many consultants aim to earn their Starter Kit for free with their first two Launch Parties, along with the intention of getting their first 4 parties booked on their calendar for a super strong start.
Here’s a quick video with some tips on helping you through the online sign-up process.
Are there any Norwex getting-started bonuses?
Remember how we talked earlier that you need to reach $1,500 in sales to keep your Starter Kit for free? Well, along the way you’ll be collecting sales and inviting others to join you in the Norwex journey (your team members), and in the process, earning even MORE Norwex gifts through the Bright Start Program! And, we are currently in the trip earning period for our next trip!
You can also reach team-building goals when some of your peeps decide to join your Norwex team, including the $100 Promote & Grow Bonus when you become a Team Coordinator! There’s no better time to start adding team members than when you’re first getting started! That is what I did and it allowed us to learn together. It was immeasurably helpful to do this Norwex thing alongside people I loved hanging out with!
What an incredible, rewarding plan for just getting your business started right!
(Text me at 319-270-7822 to find out if there’s a special sign-on bonus this month as it can change month to month!)
Do I have to pay for the Norwex host rewards?
This is a very good question! With some companies, consultants pay for the hosting gifts, but with Norwex, the hosting plan is 100% funded BY Norwex!!! This means you get to seriously pamper your hosts AND still take home your 35% independent consultant percentage! And the Hosting Plan is over-the-top generous!!! It is actually one of the KEY components that helped me build my business so quickly! And it will be that same benefit to help you in YOUR business!! Below I’m sharing the gifts for September 2026 as an example, but these vary month to month so be sure to ask me for the current host rewards as needed!

Do I HAVE to do Norwex parties?
No, you do not have to, but you totally should because they are so fun! (Honestly, I didn’t understand the wonders of the party industry until I started doing Norwex!) With that said, many of my team members actually started for the discount, but once they used the products & saw how great they work, they often end up telling everyone around them.
And voilà, you have yourself the start of a potentially very successful business. Norwex is very generous to consultants (and hosts), you’ll find yourself wanting to earn all of the incentives they offer. Parties (online workshops, text-express demos, Zoom parties, or in-person demos) are all an incredible way to get the word out about these life-changing products.
But no, you don’t “have” to do parties! 😊
How much time do parties typically take?
On average, I spend about 2-3 hours per online party. For an in-person demo, I arrive about 20-30 min early to set up, give a 35-45 minute presentation (don’t worry, you can literally just use the party formula I give you- they are fantastic!!), and take orders from customers for about 30-60 minutes. You’ll also spend some time coaching your host to have the best party possible.
When I do online parties, the actual “party demo” is about 30 min long, with about another 20 min of questions and responding to comments. When customers place orders, they order directly from my host’s party ordering link. In my experience, the time needed for either a home or FB party ends up being fairly similar, although now that I am doing ONLINE Block Parties, I can fit more in and they are so much fun! As a member of my team, I’ll be sharing my online party formula with you!
So what if I’m not a party person? Can I build a Norwex business in other ways?
That was me. I was NOT a party person. I didn’t really go to them, host them, or really know much of anything about them. One thing I could see right away, however, is that a product like Norwex is best SEEN in action, so right away, I jumped in and did something that I couldn’t even believe I was doing – I hosted a launch party at my own home, which led to more home parties that my friends booked! Now I can actually say I love in-home Norwex parties! I’m so glad I gave it a try!
And YES, there are other options to build your business; you can do online workshops, you can share the products more one-on-one, you can do trade shows or vendor fairs, you can do pop-up demos when you’re out & about at sporting events, social media marketing…. or you can do all of the above! Truth be told, the potential here at Norwex is so big that when I started, I had “Norwex insomnia” for about 5 years just thinking about different ideas to implement in my business! You’ll find what works best for you.
Do I need to purchase and keep Norwex inventory?
No, you don’t! Consultants don’t need to keep any inventory. Everything can ship directly from Norwex to your customer or host.
How do I get trained & what kind of support can I expect?
This is a super important question.
Our team was the first Black Jacket (EVPSL) Team in the company globally and were named the #1 team for five years in a row! Our team was also the first team to reach the top level of the company, Senior Vice President and was most recently named one of the first four Silver Senior Vice President teams GLOBALLY. One of the reasons for this growth and success is EXCELLENT training and support, and incredible team culture.
As your Norwex sponsor, I’ll be your go-to person and mentor & I open up my personal business coaching to you, as my personally-sponsored team member, as your build your business. We have Planet Green Team gatherings, weekly training calls, as well as an incredible online team support group and training website. As a company, Norwex also offers fabulous consultant support and an incredible Consultant Care Team!
Our training & support resources are above & beyond!
Can I earn free Norwex trips?
Yes!! I LOVE traveling on our Norwex incentive trips, they are truly fabulous trips! It’s usually somewhere warm and sunny and by an ocean, which is amazing! Our upcoming incentive trip will be to Puerto Vallarta and we are currently earning for the Hilton All-Inclusive Grand Hyatt
Los Cabos!! On past trips, we’ve been to Maui, Hawaii, Caribbean islands, Panama, Punta Cana, Cozumel, Maui, Cabo, Costa Rica, Riviera Maya, and more! These have been trips of a lifetime, many of which have been at all-inclusive locations!!
And the best part is that they are very achievable! I achieved a trip my first year just by doing an average of 2 parties per week and inviting others to join my team as I went. It would be so fun to have YOU on our next Norwex adventure! Here’s the new trip incentive starting July 2026 and how to earn it!
What if I try this and decide Norwex isn’t for me?
That is completely ok! There is no penalty and no cancellation fee. You would simply have a lot of fabulous Norwex products in your home and get to enjoy the consultant 35% earnings as long as your account is active.
Is Norwex a scam or a pyramid scheme?
No, it is definitely not a pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes are illegal. Norwex is a direct selling company in the home-party industry that sells incredible, (dare I say life-changing), top-quality products to customers. Our consultants earn a 35% consultant discount. I often get asked, “Is this Network Marketing?” No, it is not. There are some very key business model differences.
And it definitely is not a scam – these products are truly transformative for our homes, and we have thousands of satisfied Norwex customers who rave about their Norwex!
I absolutely love the Norwex business plan. It is super simple, too!
Here’s a quick video explaining the basics, and I’d love to answer any other questions you have.
How long has Norwex been in business?
Norwex started in 1994 in Norway. “Norwex” stands for “NORWegian EXperience.” They expanded to Canada in 1999 and in 2012, became a US company.
Norwex is now in many countries around the globe. If you are looking to join from one of our open countries, I am also a Norwex Global Sponsor & can help you get started. Our mission is to “improve quality of life by radically reducing chemicals in the home.” Something that’s so important to me is that Norwex is a debt-free, financially-sound company. That is SO important when choosing a business to start.
Can I read the small print about becoming a consultant?
Yes, thanks for asking!

Why should I choose Sonya Eckel as my Norwex Sponsor and Mentor?
Choosing who you join Norwex with matters! Your Consultant account may be with Norwex, but the person you choose as your Sponsor can have a big impact on the training, mentoring and support you receive as you build your business.
I’ve been a Norwex Consultant since 2009, and over the past 17+ years I’ve had the incredible privilege of growing from a brand-new Consultant with a Starter Kit who really had no idea what she was doing 😂 to becoming one of Norwex’s top leaders and leading the Planet Green Team.
Along the way, I’ve had opportunities to serve Norwex beyond my own team through leadership and advisory roles, train thousands of Consultants and customers, and build relationships with leaders throughout the company.

One of the people I’m especially grateful to have gotten to know through this journey is Debbie Bolton, one of the co-founders of Norwex North America. Debbie played such an important role in bringing the Norwex mission and opportunity to North America, and I’m incredibly thankful for her leadership, friendship and the impact she’s had on my Norwex journey.

I’ve also had the opportunity to spend time with Beate Hjeltnes, Norwex’s Global CEO, and other members of Norwex’s corporate and field leadership over the years, including some incredible memories together in Norway, the roots of Norwex (which stands for “Norwegian Experience”). Beate is the daughter of Norwex founder, Bjørn Nicolaisen, and is Norwex global and North American Norwex CEO. I have had the privilege of being at their family farm in Ulvik, Norway. This is super special to me due to my personal Norwegian family heritage. I love the simplicity and innovation of the Norwegian way of living.
But here’s what I want you to know: none of those pictures or titles are the reason you should choose me as your Sponsor. What matters most to me is what happens after you join.
I want to help you get off to a strong start, learn how to actually use and share the products, find customers, book parties, earn income if that’s one of your goals, and build a Norwex business that fits your life and your goals. I don’t expect you to know how to do all of that when you start. I know that I certainly didn’t!
You bring the willingness. I’ll bring 17+ years of experience, training, systems and a whole lot of cheering you on. ❤️ Along with access to my personal Norwex coaching calls. And because choosing a Sponsor is an important decision (whether or not I am the right fit for you), I’ve written an entire guide about what I believe you should look for—even if you ultimately decide I’m not the right Sponsor for you.
