Make Money Hosting Your Own Home Jewelry Parties

Home parties are big business these days! Did you know that the home party business was almost a 30 billion dollar business in 2004? Even some of the larger, more traditional retailers have jumped on the home party bandwagon in a big way. And why not? Home parties can be the perfect medium for selling handmade jewelry. Why is this so? A home party gives your potential customer the chance to touch and try on your pieces in a fun and relaxed environment. No other form of marketing will gives such an intimate and tactile approach to jewelry marketing. Plus, your customers avoid the traffic and hassles of making the trip to their local mall to shop for jewelry. It's the ultimate combination of shopping, socializing, and entertainment!

When I was in college, I earned extra money through a home jewelry party business called Lady Remington. I'm sure this line is now defunct but at the time it was quite lucrative. Although the jewelry was a bit overpriced for costume jewelry

, it had an enthusiastic market. Once party participants tried on the jewelry pieces, they were often eager to purchase. Plus, many wanted to host a party themselves once they found out they could earn free jewelry that way. Those jewelry parties paid for alot of textbooks!
