Start your own Home Party Business
With Heartland Candle Company
Did you ever
want to set you own hours and start your
own business. We provide the products
and marketing plan – you provide the
ambition and home party presentations.
Our program tells you how to develop
your own home party business and
provides high quality candle products
manufactured by our company to develop
lifelong repeat customers. Our program
also tells you the secrets that we have
learned over many years in direct
selling and the secrets of “developing
the 12”.
You must be
prepared to prospect and sell through
home parties – this is not a business
that will be successful through craft
shows, catalog selling, or reorders.
What kind
of candle products?
We only sell
highly scented candle products
manufactured in our factory – most home
party businesses import products and
items from China and then ask you to
sell overpriced products in the homes of
your friends and neighbors. Our
products are high quality and moderately
priced. Most of our products are less
expensive than comparable products in
retail stores. Also, purchasing
directly from the factory eliminates any
markup of middlemen or other channels.
Why
candles – you can buy them anywhere?
Scented
candles are a $2.2 billion market and
one of the top selling items in the gift
market. Scented candles are in 93% of
all homes and the typical consumer
spends $500 per year on scented
candles. 35% of candles are purchased
during the holiday season.
Candles are
the perfect item to sell, everyone uses
them and they sell throughout the entire
year. Candle pricing and burning
characteristics are proportional. If
you buy a cheap candle the fragrance
will typically run out soon after you
light it and it has poor burning
performance like smoking, tunneling, or
wax hang up.
How much
can I make?
How much
someone makes is dependent on the amount
of time and effort they put into the
program. People can earn as little as
$75 a party or as much as $100,000 per
year. As a stocking distributor you
will earn 50% gross profit on sales.
Parties typically average $500 and last
two hours. $100 - $200 per hour of work
is easily attainable.
Typical
earnings
-
Hold 4
parties per month and earn $1000 per
month profit.
-
Conduct
6 fundraisers per year and earn $500
- $2000 profit on each.
-
Develop
a three consultant business and you
can earn $5,000 of profit per month
or more.
What if I
don’t want to invest in or maintain
inventory?
We have a
non-inventory program that offers 40%
gross profit and a small packaging
charge. We will pack your parties and
deliver directly to your customer,
sending all invoices to you.
Do I need
a tax id number?
To truly
start your own business you will need a
tax id to collect and pay sales tax to
your state. We can also charge the
sales tax directly to you and pay it
under our tax id if you don’t want the
hassle of managing sales tax.
What
about charge cards?
You have the
option of securing your own credit card
processing or have us run the charge
cards for you; you pay the processing
fee (a tax deductible expense)
How much
does it cost?
We have a
number of different programs and cost
available. Most programs will include a
number of sales kits, merchandise
credit, and protected geographic areas.
The basic program cost is $500 and
includes three sales kits.
