Party Time!

National Sales Leader Carol Brown has shared some fantastic home show ideas:



We all know that catalog and home parties are an easy way to get sales and make money, but today's hectic pace makes it difficult for some customers to host or even attend a show! Our expanded line of Longaberger Baskets, Pottery, Wrought Iron and Home Accents offer us the opportunity to be creative with our customers to accommodate their personal needs and their time-starved schedules. Here are some ideas you can use to achieve sales every single month:


Office Party


Take our food products to the office and serve them in our baskets, pottery & wrought iron. If possible, take additional food items to sell cash and carry.


“It's In The Bag” Party


Know a group of ladies who love to carry the latest fashion handbags? Gather them together for a Longaberger Sisters™ Party. You only need 1 of each handbag and the accessories to get sales!


Sports/Tailgate Party


Show guests how to use our NFL, Collegiate and Team Spirit Baskets while supporting their favorite teams!


Military Party


Promote our American Valor™ Baskets at military events including base bazaars, welcome home celebrations and military month activities.


Design-a-Basket Party


Promote these at your show or at Bridal Events. Use it to promote a "design-your-own special gift.”


Coffee Shop Party


People love to gather at their favorite coffee shop. Take your favorite large basket with: 1 new piece of Wrought Iron & Pottery, the monthly feature basket, 1 piece of Woven Traditions® Flatware, and the Maddy Handbag & Cell Phone Case.


“Clean Up the Clutter” Party


Show customers how to clean up the clutter and get organized using our Wrought Iron and Baskets in their office/computer room.


Cooking Party


Pre-make your favorite appetizers (Longaberger Foods), salad, pasta, bread & dessert using our products! Try holding a cooking party at your home first and book shows from your party. Give your guests the recipes. You may want to charge your hostesses a fee for the food when she schedules this type of party.


Home Decor Party


Show your hostesses how to redecorate just 1 room in their home using our products. For example: decorate your table with our Ebony & Ivory Pottery, Flatware and Washed Linen Placemats & Napkins. Lay the Embossed Weave Mirror on the middle of the table with the Silhouette Candlesticks with Washed Linen Candles, Washed Linen Vase & some forsythia blooms. Add some black baskets and Ivory Pottery for serving pieces (ex: Black Flare Basket with Ivory Flare Bowl with fruit in it.) If there is a side table for serving, place the Bronze Leaf Wine Holder on it with wine or your favorite grape juice in it. Use a piece of artwork or the Hammered Metal Squares & Arches on the wall over your buffet table. The ideas are endless!!! Use Pottery you already own to add additional pieces to the décor.


No matter what type of show you choose to do, always take WishLists, Flyers, Order Forms and a Sponsoring Packet with you. GOOD LUCK!!!
