Which party plans do not require you to have inventory? Is there a company where you can purchase and ship products to your customers directly from the company website?

Big Yellow Box by Crayola doesn't require that you carry inventory, in
fact they prefer that you don't. We also can ship our
products(all inclusive craft kits) directly to customers, but they
cannot order the products online. The customers can look at your
website and decide what they want, but they call you to actually place
the order. I personally like to do business that way, because it
makes for a lot more personal service!

You do not carry an inventory with Big Yellow Box by Crayola. All of your customer orders are entered into the system and shipped directly from the company to the customer (or you) whichever you choosesmileys/smiley4.gif

White Lily also does not require consultants to carry inventory, and will drop ship orders to customers.


Customers can order directly online through the main company website or through individual consultant websites.


Consultants are not required to meet any quotas, and there are no minimum order amounts.


Feel free to browse my site if you would like more info, and contact me if you want to chat or have any questions!

No inventory with Discovery Toys. I actually discourage it with new consultants, since it's easy to get stuck with it.

Neither does Lia Sophia. We can not only do parties, but we can also take direct orders over the internet and have them shipped directly to the customer.

Bittersweet Candles does not require you to carry innovatory or meet any quotas!


Customers can order from your website and their order will be shipped right to their door.

Cool Sets does not require any inventory and they drop ship to hostesses/customers. Customers can order via company site with your name or ID #.

No Inventory with The Glass Bracelet either. All our pieces are custom ordered for our customers.

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry Venessa!


I didn't see your post!!smileys/smiley9.gifEdited by: MellieKay

I think you'll find that most direct sales businesses don't require you to carry inventory anymore. There are a few exceptions that still do but most of that is based upon their minimum order requirements. If they make you order $250 at a minimum or a case full - then you'll be apt to end up having inventory on hand.


Were you looking for any type of company in particular or just checking around to see what the other companies do?

Thank goodness NONE of the ones I am with require inventory, although certain items I do keep in stock, as I do craft shows, fairs etc.


But all of these do ship to the customer


Tupperware, Kat's Coffees & More.., Enchanted Potions and Greeting Cakes

We do not carry inventory with Premier Designs. We do have sample jewelry for women to see and try on (I refer to it as my own personal jewelry boxsmileys/smiley17.gif) We order straight from the company for our customers and have shipped to them.

Inventory is not mandatory in MK. The shipping costs to you are so reasonable, but you would ship directly to your customer.

No inventory with Northern Lights at Home, but you have to do the ordering. There's no online customer order service. But they will ship direct to customer.

For Your Pleasure does not carry inventory, and things can be shipped right to the customer from our websites!

Entertain With Ease doesn't require you to carry inventory either. Items can also be ordered thru our website and shipped directly to the customer.

Hi there,


My home business is Watkins and we do not require you to have inventory, nor do we have any kind of quota's or minimum buying either which is great!


Watkins ships the products right to their door, making it easier on everybody!

Hi Danielle~


I wanted to say Welcome to WAHM!smileys/smiley1.gif You will love it here! There are so many resources and great folks here!


I am with Watkins as well! I can say Ditto to what Venessa & MellieKay said about Watkins! Watkins is a very flexable company with a rich family first concept!


Good luck in your search! Remember to always ask LOTS of questions!


Looking forward to seeing and chatting with you on the board~!smileys/smiley17.gif

Our Family Favorites (gifts sets and specialty foods) doesn't require you to carry inventory. I personally have a handful of products on hand for local re-orders, fairs/festivals, fundraisers, etc but it's not required.


Actually most of my sales are done via my website and drop shipped to my customers in record timesmileys/smiley2.gif


What type of businesses interest you?

None of the companies that I work with require me to carry an inventory
and my customers can order online and have products shipped directly to
them (with the exception of Jafra, I do the shipping there!)



My gift box business-The Country Cart- supports Our Family Favorites
and Gabby Goodies and Jafra body and bath products. I also do jewelry
shows with Azante Jewelry. Like Angie asked, what is your
interest? What kinds of products do you want to sell?



One of the best things about Our Family Favorites and Gabby Goodies
besides no inventory is they both offer websites where customers can
shop online and they both offer low sign up. Not to mention great
products!



OFF sign up is $39.95 website included!

GG sign up starts at $49.95 website cost $9.95 a mo. plus one time set up of $24.95

Arbonne doesn't require inventory, actually doesn't want you to carry one. But I do know some consultants who choose to carry a few of certain products for good guests who continually run out and ask about ordering too late. smileys/smiley9.gif If I run into that with one of my clients, I just go to someone who I know will have it. That way I can still help my client, but no inventory for me. And yes, you or the guest can order online and have it shipped directly to them.You might want to check it out at www.arbonne.com (http://www.arbonne.com).

Country Bunny Bath and Body does not require OR ENCOURAGE inventory.smileys/smiley2.gif



Customers can also order right from your CB Website and it will ship straight to them from the home office smileys/smiley32.gif

HI Danielle~


Having a business in Shaklee (http://www.shaklee.net/ambie) you do not need an inventory at all!!! What a hassle and too much overhead!


And, yes, you most definitely can drop ship product to clients! You can do it from your own website if you choose to have one or from my website as well! I have a website through Shaklee and it is so helpful and such a great source for not only my existing clients but also those who are seeking safe alternative products!


Hope this is helpful to you!

The Traveling Vineyard does not require inventory. We just need
the 5 bottles we take to a tasting. All deliveries are handled by
the company. Our customers can order at events or (once a
customer) they can order online and I still get comission.smileys/smiley4.gif We keep is easy and simple wherever possible.

Taste of Home Entertaining will not require us to keep an inventory either. They will also drop ship to the customer. Plus, of course they can order from our consultant websites themselves as well. Our websites are also going to have a gift registry feature! I'm so excited!!smileys/smiley4.gif

No problem Melissa K. Can't wait for your chat coming up.

Hi!



Neither Jerky Direct (http://www.jerkyceo.com/jennifer), nor Tahitain Noni International (http://tni.com/jesposito)
require inventory. With TNI, you will get one case of Tahitian Noni
Juice (4 bottles) per month if you choose to do autoship. If you are
drinking your juice as you should, you would use approx. 2 of those
yourself, and have 2 left to retail. Both companies have online
ordering through personal websites.



Hope this helps! There are so many great options to choose from! :)

Jennifer

No inventory required with Vemma. Also, you get your own free website where people can sign up or just place an order. Orders are always shipped direct to customer. Plus, there is only one product to learn. Great product, great company, great comp. plan!

I see that Rosalee already answered your question about Home and Garden Party, and did a fantastic job, I may add, but I also wanted to add that $28 million worth of inventory at our fingertips - we just don't have to store it (THANK GOD!)
