Hello omarnunez-ga,

Candle parties are a home-based business where the host/ess invites a
group of potential customers into their home and offers a line of
products for sale. There are a huge variety of products sold through
party plans, candles are just one. The compensation program is usually
a multi-level marketing scheme where the host makes money not just
from the initial sale but also gets payments from further referrals by
existing customers and recruiting new hosts for the program.

I?ve collected a variety of resources for you to help you learn about
candle parties in particular and party plan sales in general.

Wishing you well for your projects.

The Essential Candle Party Resource

These articles are written based on the experience I have gained
through direct selling at candle parties. Direct selling is not for
everybody - you need not only a great deal of confidence in your
product, but also the confidence to lead an evening (usually 2-3
hours) and the ability to speak in front of potentially 30-40 people.
The first parties you do can be nerve wracking, but with practice,
they can be a terrific addition to your business.

Good lord!  They've discovered something more yawn-inducing than a Tupperware party.
