Basket Parties are VERY EASY to do! The Main idea of a Basket Parties is to send "Jewelry in a Basket" with someone.
They can take it to their Office or Work Place, to a Reunion, at a Salon, etc. They will show to their Family, Friends and Co-workers, and will sell what they can! They get "Hostess bonuses" for their Effort (10% of Sales or 1 Free Piece for every 10 sold). Easy peasy! Its a win-win situation.
​
I not only recommend others to do Basket parties, but I, myself, Take a basket with me EVERY WHERE I go! It's a really easy way to sell jewelry on the spot!
​
So, What does a basket party look like? - There are so many ways to do a Basket Party. Here are some Examples:
What you Basically want to do is the Following:
Here is what I normally put in. - This also depends and varies based on how many people are going to be at the work place/party.
I normally put about 100 pieces. Basket parties are great for smaller inventories. They never know that you don't have 2000 pieces at home. They just are excited about $5 jewelry.
​
Here is the Breakdown:
-50-60 necklaces. Lots of best sellers and neutrals. At least one of each color that is NOT neutral.
-10-15 pairs of earrings ( Mostly neutrals with a little color added.)
-10 bracelets
-10 rings
-10 clips
-10 headbands
*Starlet Shimmers (optional) - ask your hostess.
​
On My Basket parties I keep all the headbands, clips, bracelets, and earrings in their own separate bags for easy locating. Keeping things organized helps the jewelry not getting as tangled and broken. I keep the rings in the ring boxes.
I also put a mirror, my business card, drawing slips, Top 10 reasons to become a Paparazzi consultant, a money bag with 1 $5, 5 $1 and $2.50 in quarters, and an inventory sheet that tells the hostess how many pieces of each are in the basket. Find that Here or click on the Tab beside this article.
​
On that paper, I also have the price and "Make checks payable to: Andrea Hutcheson." I also tell the hostess if she gets anyone to host a party from that basket party, I will give her a free piece of jewelry - that gives her incentive to talk to her co-workers about hosting parties.
​
I recommend leaving a basket at a place for at least 2 days. Many of my Customers like to keep it for a week.
