There is something to be said for the long track record and solid reputation with consumers that old-line companies often have. Many home business seekers focus on the start-up companies hoping for explosive growth. But there can be trade-offs in that new companies may not execute their plans well and can alienate customers if fast growth causes customer service problems.
Tupperware began when Earl Silas Tupper created his line of airtight containers for use in the kitchen and other home storage. The product concept is straightforward and the products are of high quality. Tupperware actually provides a lifetime guarantee in some countries and has a good track record with consumers.
After the Second World War, Tupper was a pioneer in direct marketing. Women who had worked outside of home during the war returned to being homemakers when the war ended. Selling Tupperware was a way to earn an income from home and the business model flourished. The company’s distribution now extends around the world to over 100 nations. Reps are paid on a variation of the party plan.
Tupperware has a variety of specialties within their marketing organization. This allows people to the flexibility to select the type of marketing and promotion that they want to do. Internet lovers can specialize in selling the product via websites. Those that love to recruit new reps can go into the Royalty Program. Someone that wants to just get a discount on the products can join as “Membership Only.” There are Fund Raiser Specialists who work with churches and schools to hold fund raising events. Book Order people take order and can do parties. Demonstration Specialists can work a variety of markets.
Tupperware offers two start-up business kits. The Executive Business Kit is just $130 and includes everything you need to get started. Certainly, most people that are serious about having a home business can afford this one.
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.
We have a whole kitchen cabinet full of Tupperware which makes me wonder how many repeat sales you can make with the product. Perhaps one could promote a consumable product at the same time. My best idea would be Xocai Healthy Chocolate. It is something that everyone likes and the Xocai product is a health food so you can eat it without guilt.
