So do you only sell at parties, or do you just walk around with the catalog all the time and jump at any opportunity to sell?

The place I'm at, doesn't leave much opportunity for the parties. But, I do go places that have plenty of people, such as my husbands college and stores and whatnot. So I guess there are plenty of opportunities without the parties.

How many parties do you usually have and how often? Also, how many people in attendance and what do you typically do at the parties? I'd hate to throw a party only to be in the hole paying for party foods and nobody buying anything. LOL ((I know, being pessimistic, but it's how I process things, but trying to figure out the cons.

))

I'm in the process of "upgrading" all of the cheap kitchen stuff we've worked with for years. You know swapping the $40 set of aluminim pots with loose handles for le cruset... After 10 years od marriage, it's time to upgrade.

Most people at work and my friends all know I sell it, and when something new comes out, I share. I don;t do parties very often right now, but I am starting to branch out and try to get more datings. I usually ask the hostess to purchase the stuff for the party, and it doesn't cost much for them at all. Some parties have 4 people that buy $2000 worth of stuff and some have 22 that buy $300. It's just a crapshoot. I never pay for the party stuff. I do buy the little giveaways from Tupperware like the key chains and mini containers (soak a cottonball in your favorite scent and keep it one of those and open when needed - instand air freshner). I use those giveaways for large orders too. The initial investment is the only time you will spend more than $20. After you start selling, then the extras come out of your commission.

I have really stupid games we play too that make everyone start laughing. REALLY STUPID!

Okay, now I think I'm confused. I've never been to a Tupperware party, I've heard of them, never actually been.

So you as the dealer, is not hosting the party? Who is? Why would they host the party((What's in it for them))?

See, I always thought that the dealer hosted the party at their place.

Educate me!

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.

Now Now there is nothing wrong with country crock dishes!
they make great plant trays, something I would never use my tupperware for.

No, other people host the parties. What's in it for them? Discounts, sometimes DEEP ones and the chance to earn free items!!! You go to their house, unpack your goodies, help the hostess set up and then have FUN! They really are fun. I am a goofball so it comes easy for me.

One of the games I like to play is to find a odd looking item, like the citrus slicer and ask each person what their husband would do with it. Some of the answers are FUNNY!!!! Then the one with the best answer gets a small prize.

Then you pack up, go home, enter your orders and see how much money you made, and have a good glass of wine. The hostess gets to clean her house.

I looked in the catalogs but I don't find them.
Thanks
