What is the best way to start a jewelry business which I can sell at house parties?

Has anybody ever has a business like Tupperware or MaryKay? How do you organize the parties? What do you offer to the host/hostess of the party to compensate them for the use of thier home? How do you market and/or advertise the party?
Thank you

There are several options for home jewelry parties. The best of them pay the hostess benefits so your profit is solely your profit. When I was researching which jewelry company to go with I looked for:

- initial start up costs
- monthly fees (if any)
- inventory requirements
- incentives for team building and minimums for overrides (the money you make off your team)
- host(ess) incentives and who pays for them
- credit card processing and who pays the fees
- who pays state sales tax

Finally, check and see if the company you are looking at is part of the direct selling association.

I'm a lia sophia advisor and can tell you that lia sophia offers incredible hostess benefits that make it easy to get hostesses to book parties. The hostess can get up to 40% of the sales from her party in jewelry plus great discounts on personal jewelry purchases. And again, the company pays that benefit so the advisor has little out of pocket expense.

The hostess does most of the marketing for her party at work, schools, church etc using flyers/postcards you create as well as electronic invites.

I market my business at local job fairs, craft shows etc.

Drop me a line if you'd like to learn more.
