Hi! I do In home parties for a living for a "Romance" In home party plan. Does anyone else do this for a living? What company are you with? Do you love it? I love what I do! I also love to attend In home parties.
What are your thoughts? Does your company offer a nice buying discount? How many parties do you hold a week? Does your company offer a Car Allowance or Home allowance in the benefit plan? Mine does, ask me how.

Hi people of mylot!Thank you for asking, my parties are just like most in home parties. We choose a date and time that works best for you and your guests. I always tell my host/hostesses to invite Everyone 18 or Older only that they know and tell them to bring friends. I personally show up an hour ahead of time to set up and get to know my host/hostesses. I set up. I carry 2 suitcases full of demonstration products, including a bath and spa line, massage items,novelties,games,books,lingere and other items. The guest's arrive and we start, we play games and everyone has a great time. My party guest's get to touch, taste and feel all the products that they would like.I always make sure the guest's and my host/hostess has a great time and learn something. My host/hostess will receive 10% of the party sales in free product (provided that it is a qualifying party, which is $350.00 retail sales before tax and shipping) I always have a special gift for my game winners and as a thank you for my host/hostess I offer them one product of their choice at 40% off. I run different specials through out the year for booking a party.
When my presentation is over, I go into a confidential setting and take confidential orders and answer questions. I have a strict confidentiality rule.
An average party can last anywhere between 2-3 hrs.
My average party sales are about $600.00 and I make 40% of that which is about $250.00 in profit. Now, not every party is going to be this, but on average for me it is. When I first got into this business 5 yrs ago, what really hooked me was that after my very first party, mind you I had never attended one myself, I walked out the door with sales a little under $1,000.00! That was enough for me to pay myself back for the business investment and put more in my pocket. I had found my nitch! I love what I do. I have been doing these parties for a little over 5yrs now and still love it. I have to add though, this does require time and effort to run a succesfull business and it is not a get rich scam.
Ok, I hope this helps you understand a little about my parties. If you would like, I have a wonderful Pampered Chef consultant! I would be more than happy to post her information, if this is allowed Just let me know! Please bear with me here, I am still a bit confused on how this all works,and what is allowed and not. Thank you.
Have an AWESOME day/night!
