Love this #thoughtoftheday – The next time you attend a charity auction or vendor event, look closer at the Work-At-Home-Mom’s standing behind the vendor tables and auction baskets. In addition to donating time, money and products for school and charity fundraisers, direct sellers are making an impact in ways you probably never imagined. Mompreneurs lift up your local economy by creating jobs that pay for dance classes, sport activities, home improvements, household expenses and more. And that’s just the beginning. For many Moms, starting a direct sales business goes way beyond financial gain, creating a ripple effect in your community that empowers women to become more confident and give back.

From Tupperware parties to purse parties, party-plan marketing making a comeback
In the 1950s, Brownie Wise started throwing parties. But they weren’t just like any party. Wise’s parties featured bonus gifts like speedboats and trips to Florida, sparking a revolutionary sales method coined party-plan marketing. She was the mother of Tupperware parties — and her method is making a comeback.
The depth and breadth of products one can buy while sitting on the living room couch with a few friends is virtually limitless. More than six decades after the first Tupperware party, people are now hosting parties where guests can check out personal self-defense items (Damsel in Defense) and tea collections (Zendigo Teas) to nail polish (Jamberry Nails) and pet products (pawTree).
In a time when technology can seem overwhelming to many, the personal touch of the home party is not only fun, but fills a need for personal selling and customer service, said Deb Bixler, creator of the Virginia-based Cash Flow Show, a service-based business model.
“The No. 1 commodity in the 21st century is fun,” she said. “When a home party-plan consultant creates a fun environment it becomes a way for guests to have a great night out while shopping with friends. They learn more about the product line and how it may add value to their lives. Between the personal touch and the fun factor, the home party plan is a great way to earn income and to entertain.”
Sarah Quezada of Ontario is a consultant for three direct sales companies — Miche, a fashion handbag and jewelry company; Origami Owl, a custom jewelry company; and, most recently, Tupperware.
“I worked for 10 years and then 2 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis,” Quezada said. “I tried but wasn’t able to continue to work where I was. I wanted to find some way of contributing to my family.
“I started selling Miche handbags, but realized there are just so many purses you can sell,” she added with a chuckle.
So she diversified and eventually added Tupperware because of its long history and reputation for success. Being able to host the parties provides the stay-at-home mother of two a chance to earn some extra income while socializing with others, like during Quezada’s recent Miche and margarita party.
Dawn Monge, also of Ontario, hosted an Origami Owl gathering with Quezada and decided to add a Christmas cookie exchange to the mix.
“I wanted to get some items for my grandmother so I knew I needed them and decided to have a get-together. We had lasagna, people brought salads and appetizers, we exchanged cookies and then Sarah did her presentation. It was about 2 1/2 hours from start to finish and was a great time,” Monge said.
The full-time teacher used to work with two direct sales companies herself, but now Monge’s involvement is hosting a party every now and then when it fits her schedule.
“I like getting together with women outside of the workplace and without the kids. As hostess, if I earn something free for having the party, that’s a nice perk, but I just enjoy the fun of getting together,” Monge said.
Quezada and Monge are among the 16.8 million people who have contributed to the continued success of the party-plan model, which hit $32.6 billion in estimated retail sales in 2013, according to the Direct Selling Association in Washington, D.C. Top products sold were geared toward wellness and services, while those of clothing/accessories and leisure/educational remained steady.
Zendigo Teas is among the newest to the party-plan direct sales industry and is eager to contribute to those statistics. The Duarte-based company began operations in October.
“At Zendigo, we have Zendigo tea experiences instead of parties. We don’t want people to expect cucumber sandwiches and scones,” said Jean Stroud, director of field development for Zendigo.
“What all our consultants do is provide education along with the experience in a comfortable home setting. They explain how to brew or steep tea, they talk about the health benefits of tea and the ways a body reacts differently to the caffeine in tea versus the jolt of energy one gets from coffee — things like that,” she noted.
“The idea is to build a relationship with a consultant so when a customer needs something they have someone to go to.”

Damsel for Him
I get questions all the time about why we have pink stun guns but not black ones. Which we do :).
With Damsel we are focusing on products for women. We understand that it is not comfortable for a woman to walk into a “cop shop” and find pepper spray. I tell people all the time about how I will go into certain “cop shops” here in Vegas and am treated like a nothing. (Little do they know my law enforcement knowledge or how much myself and the hubby would spend in there if they were to treat me just like the guy that walked in).
Parties are more comfortable for women to see, feel and test our products. We don’t want our gals to walk out of a party and feel like they wasted an hour of their life. We want our gals to feel like they can take on the world when they leave the party. Watching the woman’s eye go from timid to empowered by the end of the party is why I love my job so much!
Don’t worry guys, we didn’t forget about you! We know the women in your lives love to buy you things so we also have all of our products in male friendly colors as well ;). Check out the image below.
If you have any questions at all dopn’t hesitate to contact me at amytime!
