As a small child back in the early 1970s I remember sitting in the middle of the living room watching my mother and her friends examining brightly coloured plastic boxes, plates and bowls. This was the age of Tupperware (a food-storage system) and the party plan – one of the original home based business opportunities.
If you’ve never come across party plans before, they are a form of direct selling by hosting a social event to display and demonstrate products with the aim of selling to those gathered. The host receives a commission on all sales. The party plan has been used primarily to sell items such as Tupperware itself, skincare, cosmetics (think Avon), lingerie (Ann Summers) and jewellery.
Well, I think I’ve uncovered a new twist on this– it’s called Honey and is brand new to the UK, but with a proven track record in South Africa. I was tipped of to this from a WRMM Lifetime member Leonard R Seegers. I’ve met him in person (very nice chap), examined the product (great quality and design) and checked out the business plan and I am very impressed. Even better, we are ‘first in’ on this opportunity – Honey UK launches this month! In a nutshell, this opportunity involves selling jewellery to earn a commission. You can do this in 2 ways. You can go down the traditional party plan route as a Sales Consultant or you can act as a regular Sales Associate (affiliate) and use the Honey UK website to generate sales. Either way you get a % of sales on everything you sell AND whatever your customers then sell.
