party plan

Home selling scheme

Party plan is a sales model where products are sold through social gatherings hosted in private homes.

A host invites friends and neighbors; a sales representative demonstrates merchandise—typically cosmetics, kitchenware, or home goods—and takes orders.

Tupperware and Mary Kay pioneered the approach.

She sells jewelry through a party plan business.
