How to Sell at a Tupperware Party

In order to sell Tupperware at parties, you must become a Tupperware consultant.

Becoming a Tupperware consultant is not a difficult process. Read on to learn more.

Steps

1. Learn how to become a Tupperware consultant and start selling Tupperware by talking to a Tupperware consultant in your area.
   
2. Go to Tupperware.com and look in the sidebar for the name of the consultant. Click on the name, which is indicated in bold, and go to the personalized website of that consultant.

How to Host a Tupperware Home Party

Hosting a Tupperware party can be a fun way to spend time with your friends and family, while receiving some exclusive Tupperware products at little or no cost to you. If you would like to host a Tupperware home party, it is very easy. Your Tupperware consultant will help you with all the details of hosting a successful and enjoyable Tupperware party in your home.

Steps

1. Contact a Tupperware consultant in your area. You can locate a consultant near you by logging on to Tupperware's website.
   
2. Click on "Party" in the top navigation bar, then click "hosting a home party" in the side bar. You will be able to read details on how to host a Tupperware party in your own home. You can then choose "Start Your Party" and click "Find a Consultant." The next screen will give you the name of the Tupperware consultant nearest you, along with her contact information.
   
3. Meet with the consultant and discuss hosting a Tupperware party. Once you have decided to host a party in your home, pick a date for your Tupperware party with the consultant. The consultant will also give you tips, ideas and planning guides for a certain theme for your Tupperware party, if you'd like. For example, it can be an appetizer party, where you serve small finger sandwiches and cocktails, or perhaps Mommy & Me Express Party, where your kids (and the kids of those you invite) can be part of the party.
   
4. Choose food and drinks for your Tupperware party. Keep things simple so that you can enjoy yourself. If the party is in the afternoon, you can offer punch and cookies or other snacks. If it's in the evening, you should consider serving cocktails and hot appetizers. Whatever you decide, make it as easy as possible so that you can enjoy your time at the party.
   
5. Invite friends, relatives and co-workers. Invite a large enough number of people that you know there will be sales at the party, but not so many people that the party is overcrowded. You will want people to be able to sit down and view the Tupperware demonstrations and participate in the games and activities.
   
6. Enjoy yourself at the party. Hosting a party shouldn't be a chore. Make sure your guests are comfortable, but also take time to relax and get a good look at all the latest Tupperware products.

How to Choose a Location for a Tupperware Party

If you are hosting a Tupperware party, one of the most obvious locations to have the party is in your own house. However, there are many other locations where you can host a Tupperware party. The environment should be an open space with a lot of seating room, so your guests can relax and clearly see the Tupperware demonstrations.

Steps

1. Have at Tupperware party in your living room. This is the most common place where Tupperware parties are held. Move your living room furniture so that your Tupperware consultant will have a central place to show the Tupperware products. Bring in folding chairs for additional seating.
   
2. Host the party outside on your patio or deck if the weather permits. If your living room is small, this is a good option to provide enough space and seating for all your guests.
   
3. Choose to have a Tupperware at the breakroom or conference room of your office. There will be plenty of seating and you don't have to worry about making the guest list--just invite everyone from your office. Get approval from your boss before planning this type of party.
   
4. Ask your apartment manager if you can host a Tupperware party in the club house of your apartment complex. If your apartment is too small to have a Tupperware party, a club house or other common area is a great location for a Tupperware party. Just remember to clean up after the party, disposing of any trash and wiping down countertops and tables.
