Party Plan Software
Consumer Based Parties
Companies who choose to market through home-based parties, removing any focus on the business opportunity and placing it squarely on the product, will often choose the term Party Plan for their business model.
Make no mistake, it is an MLM. Party Plan simply indicates the method of
marketing as in home-based parties. The close-knit relationship often
leads to long-term returning customers, providing generous revenues for sales
representatives.
Additionally, these companies may employ an invitation system, as well as gifts
or discounts to the homeowner (host), based on sales revenues at the particular
party. Further complications to consider are the payment method and
shipping options. Payment methods are recommened to be web-based with a
CC, in order to permit the company to manage sales tax reporting to respective
agencies. If the sales representatives sell products themselves, receiving
payment directly, you should consider the implications of requiring the sales
representatives to have sales tax license in their particular district or state.
Shipping is normally requested to be in form of a bulk delivery to the homeowner
(host) of the particular party. Occassionally, companies will provide such
complication as to allow consumers the option for direct ship to thier address
for an additional fee. These complications can effect programming in how a
party's orders are managed and grouped for commissioning, as well as how
they are pulled down at the warehouse.
