Paparazzi Accessories is a cash and carry type of business. We purchase the items up front and sell them for a 45% profit. Some people get hung up on this with worry that they will not be able to recover their investment. These items are comparable to the costume jewelry found in department stores with one main difference, the PRICE.
Almost everyone that I have met is utterly surprised when they discover the items I have only costs $5. After they repeat the question back to me a couple times in different ways (checking to see if it really is true), they almost always purchase multiple items. After all, everyone likes jewelry but everyone LOVES $5 jewelry.
In the early 90's I tried being an Avon consultant. Although, I loved their items, so did my family. This meant we all ordered everything from Avon at my discount price. Although it was great to get the discount, I was not making any money. Plus, I had to purchase the samples, books, and bags. Needless to say, being an Avon representative was short lived for me.
I have always ran from anything that required having a party and selling items. First and foremost, I am NOT a saleswoman. I hate selling so bad that I am one of those parents that made the large purchases of useless items from the kid's fundraisers. With Paparazzi, I do not sell anything. I simply display the items I have (either online or on a table) and offer them for $5 to anyone that may be interested.
