Tupperware Products - Sound Footing For Your Home Business
It can take years and years to build a solid brand that consumers trust. When evaluating home business opportunities don’t overlook the benefit of a solid brand name. It is easy to be swept up in the excitement over the latest start-up but it is important to also look at the benefits of having a proven company, marketing program and product line.
In 1946 Earl Silas Tupper developed his now famous line of airtight preparation, serving and storage items for the kitchen and home. In many countries these products come with a lifetime guarantee. Of all of the hundreds, perhaps thousands of direct marketing business opportunities, Tupperware Products Company provides a solid, reliable track record, in a simple, affordable home based business.
Tupper was a pioneer in direct marketing, and his product is sold today in almost 100 countries around the world. After World War II, many women returned home after working. At that time and since then, it is a symbol of independence and empowerment for women, giving them an opportunity in the business world. Products are sold through variations of the party plan with commissions for consultants and the hostess.
Providing flexibility and freedom are important elements of the business philosophy. Consultants can choose one of several marketing approaches. Starting with the first level, Membership Only, participants purchase at discount prices. Book Order Specialists take orders or offer catalog parties to customers, friends and family. Fund Raiser Specialists offer the line as a fundraiser to churches, schools and organizations. Internet Specialists open Internet websites. Demonstration Specialists hold in-home parties and do some of all the previous types of sales. The Royalty Program is available for those who are interested in recruiting additional consultants.
You may purchase a full-size Executive Business Kit, for $129.99 which includes everything you need to launch your own home-based parties, or their Quick Start Business Kit, which costs a little less but includes products, business supplies and support materials to get your started.
The Tupperware commission plan is generous at up to 35% of sales. Reps receive free training and support. You can earn royalties on new people that you recruit and there are other benefits and incentives such as free products, trips, cars and jewelry for meeting sales goals.
Direct marketing experts say to look at the reliability and reputation of the company you are considering. This company allows you to take charge of your life and your potential earnings-they want you to achieve the success you are looking for.
The one reservation that I have about Tupperware is the fact that it lasts a long time so how do you get repeat sales? I would be tempted to have a nice consumable product to promote alongside my Tupperware. For instance, how about Xocai Healthy Chocolate? It’s a chocolate health food that everyone loves…and they reorder it.
