What do you think about selling parties like tupperware or pampered chef?

Answer 1

I do not attend because I hate greedy scams disguised as hospitality. It is not hospitable to invite someone to your home and then bombard them with products and expectations. Not polite.

Answer 2

Getting into something like Tupperware, Avon, Mary Kay... those types are very well known, but the market is pretty well saturated, so it might be difficult to get parties, referrals or sales because most people that buy that stuff already have a rep they go through. I think you are the best one to decide that; however, if you don't really care what it is, then go for the one with the best compensation plan. For instance, most companies, as you know, pay a percentage of retail 10% and up. But some of them also have recruitment requirements that can take all the fun out of what you are doing. I was in a party plan program, still am actually, but don't work it anymore because I got tired of the hassle of carrying inventory, booking parties, having them cancel at the last minute, constantly searching for new leads.... just too much 'pushy' stuff for my nature. As I said before, the best one for you will be in the comp plan & don't forget to go through those pesky policies and procedures too. Two very critical components to success regardless of whether you only want part-time vs full time. ~good luck ~jennifer Helping others create additional income from home through education of the system and how it works.

Answer 3

I love both. I'm an independent consultant for PC and I have an aunt who does Tupperware. I haven't been to a Tupperware party in a while (there's some competition) but Pampered Chef parties are fun. You get free food and most consultants encourage guests to participate and check out the products, hands-on.
As for selling, Pampered Chef provides great resources and support. The startup package is also very reasonably priced.
Pampered Chef has the best consultant and host programs. For consultants, there's minimum 20% commission, personal discounts, free products, and wonderful vacations.

Answer 4

I'm not big on these whatsoever, but my mom sold tupperware years and years ago. I do like Pampered Chef parties to a certain extent -primarily because of the food served. And their products aren't too bad either (my favorite being the ice cream scooper).

Answer 5

I don't go to them for several reasons.
1. I'm usually invited by someone I only kind of know, like an acquaintance who wouldn't invite me to her party unless she was trying to sell something.
2. I don't really consider it a "party" if you sit around looking at products you don't want to buy &/or have no use for.
3. A lot of people are insulted if you come to their party & don't buy anything, more insulted than if you just didn't go altogether.
To avoid all of these things, I just don't go.

Answer 6

Many women enjoy going to parties that offer a product such as cookware, candles, or beauty aids. I have never enjoyed these parties and do not attend if I can avoid it. It's a matter of choice. I choose to stay away from them.

Answer 7

I agree with Linzy Loo 100%

Answer 8

Tried both and I made no money. I liked the product too much and spent as much as I made.
