Start Your Own Home-Based Purse Party Business

June 12, 2012 | By More

Most women wouldn’t dream of leaving the house without a purse. Most women also have lots of hand bags for wardrobe versatility and, there is always room for a new one! Structured loosely along the lines of the Tupperware parties, purse parties are the latest trend in home parties. If you are looking to make a little, or a lot, of extra cash, hosting purse parties might just be the perfect ticket. You can host these get-togethers right in your own home, at a neighbor’s house, or even on your website! In fact, you can do both, so you can be earning money while you’re asleep! Women love purses, so you have got a captive audience of customers.

So how do you get into this business? There are plenty of websites which will set you up with all of the sales guidance, party tools and inventory you need to get started. When you are hosting a home purse party, many distributors offer customizable lists of the styles and sizes of hand bags your guests may prefer. If you go for a website business, you would probably want to include a more comprehensive inventory, to appeal to a broad spectrum of tastes and demands.

One aspect of the purse party that women find especially attractive is that your products are famous designer-inspired bags which are offered at a fraction of the cost of the "real deal". The purses you offer are virtual look-alikes to bags from such famous designers as Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior. While the genuine designer purses are pricey, averaging $400 to over $1000, your customers can have a virtual replica for $40 – $60! This means your customers can buy more than one or two.

You will also find that these purse party collections include the so-called "celebrity" hand bags, as well as other related accessories, such as wallets, jewelry and even sunglasses suitable for wearing with these fancy hand bags.

What kind of discounts should you expect? The distributor gives you, the purse party hostess, wholesale pricing which allows you to make anywhere from 25% to 65% profits! These hand bags are typically wholesaled to you in the $10–$15 range. Some distributors also offer incentive programs which allow you to get a new hand bag at no cost.

Perhaps one of the best rewards of this home based business is that you can organize your party dates to suit your schedule and pace. Another benefit is that you get to a meet a lot of like-minded women and have fun entertaining.

If you would d like to attend a purse party yourself before embarking on your own, distributors are happy to let you know who is hosting a party in your town. There is simply nothing to not like about this ideal home business.
