While retailers prepare for the rush of customers on Black Friday, there is a group that is bringing the goods to the consumers. It’s home based businesses and even with tough economic times, some sellers are finding success.
PartyLite consultant Jamelle Swanson says, “It’s amazing. The sales are there, and you keep thinking, ‘Well are people not understanding that there is a crunch right now?’ It’s unbelievable. They’re getting what they need. They’re getting gifts, and it’s been phenomenal. I mean, I haven’t seen better business in quite a while.” Some of the sellers are seeing lower numbers. Glenda Hugget sells Tupperware, and she says there are fewer customers buying frivolous items, but more for everyday use. Still the numbers are higher than many expected.
Tupperware consultant Glenda Hugget says, “They aren’t buying as much as they maybe did last year, but it’s a lot better than we anticipated it would be, the way the country is.”
