Hi,

Im looking at starting a home party business, selling mainly fresh homemade costmetics.

Now the process would work like this, I / a hostess will share the products (a sample of many) and all the benefits with a guest of customers at a hostesses home.
The customer will place orders with me/ the hostess along with payment and the orders/payment (at agreed prices) for the products will be sent to you for dispatch to me then i will distribute, obviously customer aren't going to wait weeks for their products they have paid for so it will have to be products which you have made and ready for selling.
It will be important to let us know what products you have ready for sale on a weekly basis.

Pricing will be important as i know you will probably increase your price as we wont be buying full blocks of products (although we will try to sell as much of each product ordered).
We will be aiming sell a minimum of £100 (which i dont think its unrealistic for an individual to spend £20 at a party) at each party, the aim is to plan in a minimum of 5 parties a month (probably more, but being prudent)

Labeling is another thing i have thought of, i would prefer to have my company name on them with obviously something saying 'Made by ' who ever'on behalf of 'My company' (for legal reasons).. not sure if this would be accetpable to you.. we can discuss.

If anyone would be interested in this opprotunity of working together please get in touch. stuartander@hotmail.co.uk

I am located in Berkshire by the way -which is just down the road from London!
Thank you for reading
Kind regards

Hi,

Yes i think we can discuss Smiley
drop me an email with a few details:

Where are you based?
I can see 'Bubble Works Home Parties' as the name Smiley- or something like that!!
Do you have some pics of your products i couldnt see any on your website??

Are you happy with my proposed process of the orders coming in and going to you with payments for dispatch to me?
Do you have a product listing with RRP and trade prices, as we will need to think about my commission and the hostess's commission?
What kind of margin do you work to?

How is you business going at the moment, whats turnover been in the last yr?

A bit about me, ima trainee accountant working for a well known super fast growing organic baby food company.
I have trued a couple of times at making my own soap but cant get to grips with the essential oils or something anyway Smiley


email me at  stuartander@hotmail.co.uk

have a pleasant evening,hopefully speak to you soon Smiley
