A Penny Saved

Lighten Up

What could be better than enjoying dinner by candlelight? Why, making money selling the candles, of course!

PartyLite Gifts Inc. of Plymouth, Massachusetts, a direct sales marketer of candles and candle accessories, offers opportunities for entrepreneurs who want to join this multimillion-dollar business through its PartyLite Brite Start Program. "[These are] the finest candles available," says Laurie Lawrence, vice president of sales.

As a PartyLite consultant, you hold shows in people's homes and earn at least 25 percent of the sales as your share. The host gets 25 percent of the sales in PartyLite credit.

New consultants incur no start-up fees (provided you sell at least $300 worth of product your first show). The only recurring costs are for catalogs, invitations and refills for the demonstration kit. Consultants carry no inventory; the products are shipped directly to the host.

Consultants receive training from their sponsor, as well as through local workshops and regional meetings held at least once a month. Currently, there are more than 20,000 consultants, and PartyLite is seeking more nationwide.
