It's true - that is how I got most of my Tupperware earlier in life because I didn't have any money. I just gave my friends the catalog to look at - and then I got free stuff!

Heck no you don't have to pay for a catalog!! Who charges for a catalog, besides Penneys and Speigel.

I wouldn't pay for one either.

The thing is, if you have a catalog and get someone else to place an order with you, and then another friend or so, you could turn it into a catalog party and maybe get yourself some free stuff.

Some other companies (mary kay comes to mind) the sales rep has to order catalouges in packs of 10 or 25 and they're charged by the pack.

However if that's not the case, drop one my way and i'll carry it to the next family dinner, there's a piece my mom used to have, and I lost it years ago at school, i'm thinking i'll get her a new one for christmas (I was in 4th grade at the time).

I pay for them, but I do NOT pass that cost along to customers. How dumb!!! PM me your address again. THANKS!!!

No no, if you pay for them, don't waste one on me! That's what I was saying.

It's never a waste if you wind up getting free stuff. Trust me they are not that expensive! I will send you extra order forms just in case someone sees you looking at it.

Wait... you already lost my mailing address? What sort of racket are you running here anyway?

LOL!!! No I didn't lose it!

I made a special folder for addresses so I can stop accidentally deleting them.

I'm interested in it. With all the craziness lately at the house, I've put it on the back burner.

What do you do to sell your merchandise? Parties, etc?

How often do you do such things?

I know it's one of those, the more you put into the more you get out, but I just need some figures.

How regular are your customers?

I think Terrie said you're suppose to sell a minimum of 250 for every 3 months, how hard is that to obtain?

I appreciate all the help guys. I'm currently unemployed seeking a job and every little bit helps.

Kim, when I do parties for people, I encourage them to find their friends that they KNOW love Tupperware, not just to have bodies there. The goal of having a party is for the hostess to get good discounts and free items - ya can't do that with warm bodies who swear by Country Crock containers.

The $250 every three months is EASY. I sold samples this week and made $336 in retail sales. Just in the office. I am also going to order a sticker for my back windshield with my email address.... Traveling advertisement.

I have some customers that want something every time a catalog comes out and some that only want to see the new items.

I can tell you this! The parties are FUN!!!!! I use the vent and serve to make a cake in and serve with ice cream, chocolate always helps. Tupperware is a product that sells itself. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the quick chef too - it is like a giant slap chop, but you crank the top instead of pounding on it. I use that thing almost daily.

Also, I am not shy about telling people what products I don't like, and they tend to appreciate that.

"swear by Country Crock containers"

And that is why I don't let Mr. Saddi pick this stuff, cheap knows no bounds with him.
