The Step Into Success Contest is ending soon! Don’t miss out on your chance to earn entries for premium prizes from Allen Edmonds, America’s iconic shoemaker since 1922. When you introduce Clients to their craftsmanship, you’re not just selling shoes; you’re elevating wardrobes, deepening relationships, and reinforcing the value of expert, personalized styling.
How It Works
From Monday, 12/1/25 at 12:01 AM CST through Wednesday, 12/31/25 at 11:59 PM CST, every pair of Allen Edmonds shoes you sell earns you one raffle entry.
No caps. No limits. Just connect Clients with premium footwear and build your entries.
Sell at least 3 pairs during December to qualify, and from there:
1 pair sold = 1 raffle entry • 5 pairs sold = 5 entries • 10 pairs sold = 10 entries
And so on. The more pairs you sell, the more chances you have to win.
The Rewards
We’ll be drawing for two major prizes for qualifying Stylists:
#1.) A complimentary pair of Allen Edmonds shoes of your choice
#2.) A premium Allen Edmonds shoe care kit
And there’s more! If we collectively exceed 250 pairs sold in December, we will unlock a third winner, who will receive: An Allen Edmonds belt
Winners
Winners will be announced live on the Pre-Spring Kickoff Call on January 5, 2026. Once winners are announced, please connect with Deb Scanlan to confirm shoe choice, shipping details, and—if applicable—your shoe care kit or belt. Only one prize per Stylist.

As an independent contractor with J.Hilburn, Stylists must provide J.Hilburn with an IRS W-9 Form that includes their name, billing address, and social security number or federal tax identification number. This information is required for the IRS Form 1099 reporting.
We want to prevent you from receiving a notice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stating that the combination of name and taxpayer identification number (Name/TIN combination) on your account with J.Hilburn, Inc. does not match and needs to be corrected. A Name/TIN combination is incorrect if it does not match a Name/TIN combination shown on the records of the Social Security Administration (SSA) or the IRS.
Please verify your information in the Stylist App or Green Room by navigating to “My Account” to confirm your information is correct, as this is how J.Hilburn will file your 1099 with the IRS. Your account must reflect the legal name under which you will be filing your taxes.
If your information has changed or if you have not submitted your form to J.Hilburn, please complete and send the IRS W-9 Form to stylistcare@jhilburn.com as soon as possible. The form can be found in the Newsroom by searching “tax” or downloaded directly from the IRS website at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf. The deadline to send in your W-9 is January 2, 2026.
Our next Tips From the Top is scheduled for January 20th at 11:00AM CST.
Each Tips From The Top session features an experienced Stylist from the field who will share the strategies and steps that have led to their success. Don’t miss out on the valuable tips and strategies shared during these meetings.
