Introduction
It is that time of year again, the holidays. Time for parties, gift giving, holiday feasts, and oh yeah, a pile of bills. If you are overwhelmed by the number of gifts that you need to buy this year you might want to consider giving parties to earn your holiday gifts instead of buying them. There are many different kinds of companies that offer free hostess gifts and special deals for people who host parties in their homes. This article will go over five such party plans that you can choose from to party your way to free holiday gifts, including: Tupperware, the Pampered Chef, Salt City Candle Company, Home Interiors, and the Furnished Garden Party.
Tupperware
One of the original home party companies, Tupperware, offers high quality food storage, preparation, and serving products that have a long history of customer satisfaction. This company offers two different party options.
Party Option #1 – Online Party
The first option is to host an online Tupperware party. This option used to be called a catalogue party, however, now instead of having a printed catalogue to show to your friends, you have your own party website that your friends can order from.
Step One: Register your online party at tupperware.com using your name and email address.
Step Two: Fill out your guests’ names and email addresses, and Tupperware will send them an e-invitation to your online party. This e-invitation will have the link to your party page and what time period the online party is good for. Each online party lasts for 14 days.
Step Three: After your party closes, Tupperware will email you an e-gift certificate worth free Tupperware products. The amount of free Tupperware that you earn will be based on the total amount of Tupperware that you sold during your online party.
Party Option #2 – In-Home Party
If you want to have a traditional in-home Tupperware party then you will need to contact a consultant in your area. To find this information please visit Tupperware’s home page. (See below).
What You Can Earn
The compensation structure for Tupperware is based on how much your total sales amount to. If your sales are less than $175 then there are no rewards given to the hostess. However, if your sales are equal to or greater than $175 then you earn free merchandise equal to 10% of the party’s sales.
The Pampered Chef
The Pampered Chef is another party company that offers high quality merchandise and that has a high profile name. The benefit of hosting a Pampered Chef party is that the company consultant will prepare food and demonstrate the products in your home for your friends, family, and colleagues.
Party Idea #1 – Football and Food
While these types of parties are often geared towards women, you can entice the men in your life to buy merchandise by having a Football and Food Party. This themed party can demonstrate the BBQ, cutlery, and snack preparation items that the Pampered Chef offers.
Party Idea #2 – Home Warming, Wedding, or Bridal Shower
If you have recently moved into a new home, or if you are planning on getting married, or are planning a bridal shower and need some new kitchen essentials, you can host a party to earn free gifts, and/or develop a gift registry of the things that you would like. Your guests can buy items to give you for your home warming, wedding, or bridal shower, or they can buy for themselves. In addition to getting presents from your guests, every purchase that they make earns you even more free gifts.
Reward Structure
There are nine rewards for being a Pampered Chef hostess.
The first reward is of course, free merchandise. To qualify for free merchandise you need to have a party that produces at least $150 in sales. At $150 you earn $15 in free merchandise. For a $200 party you earn $25 in free merchandise, for $300 you earn $40, $500 earns $90, $600 earns $115, $700 earns $140, $800 earns $165, $900 earns $190, and $1000 earns $215 in free merchandise. If your party is over $1000 add $25 to the $215 amount for every $100 over $1000 that you sell.
Your second reward is half-priced selection. Depending on the amount of merchandise that you sell you can earn up to 4 half-priced items.
Your third reward is discounted merchandise. This discount will range between 15% to 30% on every regular priced item that you order.
In addition to your free merchandise and discounted items you will earn a $15 Hospitality Bonus which is included in your total free merchandise amount. For example at the $200 your free product value is $25, $15 of which is your Hospitality Bonus.
You don’t have to pay shipping costs on your order, however, your guests will have to pay a nominal shipping and handling fee on each of their orders.
Monthly Host Specials will allow you to buy special merchandise at an amazingly low price.
If one of your guests signs up to host a party you will get a booking bonus such as being able to purchase the monthly special for the month that they host their party.
