Gift Giving by Hosting a Direct Sales Party

For this week’s Frugal Friday I wanted to write about hosting direct sales parties and the benefits they bring.

As a follow up to my Stockpiling for the Holiday’s post I failed to mention another source for inexpensive gifts for gift giving.  Host a home party!  I was in direct sales for 11 years and during that time I had a lot of parties for other home based business people in “exchange” for hosting one for me.  What I found from all those year’s of hosting parties is that several home based business offer great hostess incentives for having an in home or catalog party.

If you are a stockpilier you can host a party very inexpensively!  I recently hosted a jewelry party and served a simple dessert and beverages and that was it!  How simple and those items came directly from my stockpile.  I love having parties because it is a great excuse to have my friends over and clean my house.  By hosting an in home party you can really reap the benefits if the company offers a good hostess program.

For example this past spring I hosted a Thirty One Party and earned over $300.00 in FREE product!  The best time to take advantage of hosting a party is when home based business offer DOUBLE HOSTESS AWARDS!  This is how I did so well when I hosted my party!  Not only do you have an excuse to invite friends over and have fun you are able to earn FREE product for very little effort.  I was able to use that $300 worth of FREE product for over 10 gifts for Christmas!  I always say that you need to think outside of the box when it comes to gift giving and this is prime example.

Are you in direct sales?  Here is a linky for you to link up your website!
