Hi Trina,

Most companies would not necessarily put their nose into whether you are having home parties to sell their product or actually having a bricks and mortar store or if you were selling on line. For products you want to carry, simply ask the companies if they want to participate, you'd probably have to have an account with the company and then you could purchase somewhere less than retail price (depending, I would guess) on quantities you can move; but most would gladly help you set yourself up with your samples for a modicum of the retail price.

I think that part of the difficulty with "affiliate" groups is that you have to have a website hosted through them in order to offer their products. I suggest asking this question specifically of the affiliate group; if there are any out there for whom you can offer the products and not necessarily have a website, they'd be the best ones to ask.

Good luck with it, it sounds like a neat idea.

I'm curious... why would you want to do home parties but not align yourself with one of the established "home party" companies?
