Guaranteed Home Party Success: Party Plan Pat’s Home Parties Business Predictions For The Year 2009!

This is no longer your mothers home party! Generating income through home party sales is a trend I'm seeing every where these days in retail. First, it was Tupperware. Then Mary Kay jumped on board. Then began the mushrooming of party plan companies e.g., Pampered Chef and Jewelry Home Party Companies and adult toy home party companies! Not to mention home purse party companies! The sky it seems is the limit. Now also you have home party wine companies that are taking up this business model.

Now here is what you need to know as a home party consultant, Warren Buffet, the richest man in the world owns three home party companies. The most notable being Pampered Chef. He is quoted as saying that it was the best decision he has ever made.

Home Party Plans, Direct sales and direct selling business are booming. This is no longer your common Tupperware party. That said there are some considerations the would be home party consultant will need to have in mind before you make a decision which party plan company is right for you. These include but are not limited to:
• You, The Home Party Consultant
• Home Party Plan Company Leadership
• Timing of INDUSTRY and COMPANY
• TARGET MARKET for your PRODUCTS Is there huge demand for the home party products you plan on representing?
• Flagship PRODUCT(s): Products have to be REMARKABLE Not over-priced CONSUMABLE!
• Compensation Plan : The least of your concerns.
• Training, Education, Experience & Personal Development

Once those have been dealt with, you are now ready to make your choice. The following are the hottest in home party trends that will not fail you:

1. Jewelry Home Parties : People always want to decked out and look good. E.g., Spilada, Lia Sophia, Cookie Lee. The other notable trend is the rise of gold and silver home parties. It is simply the exchange of precious metals for cash…
2. Adult Home Party/Home Sex Toy Parties: We are a nation obsessed with sex. And at the end of the day whether it is hot or cold. Depression or economic boom. Young or old, gay, straight, lesbian or bi-curious, sex never goes out of fashion. And anyway it is about time women had a response to Viagra E.g., passion parties, romance parties, lingerie parties.
3. Home Wine Parties: A total trend. What better thing to do than gather with friends over a glass of wine? Getting paid for drinking said glass of wine! E.g., Traveling Vineyard, Wine Shop At Home
4. Skin Care party plan companies such as Mary Kay & Arbonne International. There is a strange phenomenon called the lipstick economy. When the markets go down, the sale of lipstick and skin care goes up! Told you, you can never be too beautiful!
5. At Home Wrap Parties: The new trend in weight loss is wraps. Wraps are mineral substances designed to draw out impurities while whittling the waist. It is an awesome experience and now you can do them at home with your friends. You just can’t have wine that will defeat the purpose!
6. Home Purse Party: Like I said you can never be too glamorous. Perhaps many are not willing to buy a $15,000 Prada handbag, but we all know someone who will pay $150 for a knock-off. So why not let them pay you? E.g., Dive Purse Party
7. Food: Need I say more? As we have less time to cook, food in home show party continue to draw crowds for the convenience and ease they offer.
8. Pets: Yes selling pet products through home parties is only building momentum. I don’t get it cause I am not a pet person. Well I like Cats and only Russian Blues. Shure Pets combines home parties with pet products. The dynamics of the pet industry set it apart from other industries and make it ideal for the direct selling/ home party model. People have emotional connections with their pets. And home party sales are a high-touch, relationship business.

And there you have it. Party Plan Pat’s Home party predictions for the year 2009!
Keep in mind that one can never be too skinny, too sexy, too glamorous, too beautiful, too wealthy or too bejeweled. Any home party business that centers around these 6 long lasting trade will make you a winner and bring in home party sales!

I am Party Plan Pat, the author of Home Party Plan Success Tips a blog for those in direct sales marketing. 10 Deadly Home Party Plans Business Mistakes The Little Black Book Of Home Party Plans Success Secrets I was once a struggling home based business owner, in the direct sales home party industry. When I started I had zero skills - no sales skills, no marketing skills, no confidence, no direction, no warm market, a shoestring budget that I wasted instantaneously. I had no clue, neither did my uplines. I did what most other people do, jump from company to company only to have the same results! One day I took a long hard look at the facts. The companies kept changing, I kept experiencing failure and I blamed everyone except me. It wasn't the company, it wasn't the compensation plan and people didn't suck. It was me!

I plan on cold calling & mailing information to each business. It also gave me time to research the industry more, talk directly to the owners in many cases, and learn more about what they need. Jeff

Business Innovation Business Innovation - Hi Simon If you can finish off the Business Plan and think about your strategic direction or how you are going to use your product to convince people it's a great idea, it will set the foundation for your programming project. You see, when you are looking for funding you will need a Business Plan and Strategic Plan that will convince companies to invest into your new idea. Has anyone achieved this idea before using another industry besides health and fitness that you know of? You should also design some mockups as a "preview" for your programming project. This will also help reduce your programming costs as everyone will know exactly what you want if you have detailed mockups already completed including any functionality you require. Starting mockups for websites and software applications on paper is the best way if you're not a guru in graphic editing software.
