How Do I Get Started?
The Practical "How To" of Starting a Home & Garden Party Business

Home and Garden Party was started by Steve & Penny Carlile in 1996 in Marshall, TX, and runs with Jesus as its center.  With their "God first, Family second & Career third" attitude, I can make a priority of my husband and boys and still make extra income.  We are financially stable and HGP is the ONLY party plan company in America to have made over $100 Million in the first FIVE years of existence - ever!

 

This is the best company I have ever worked with and the support and recognition are outstanding.   As a Designer with HGP, I receive the highest commission in the industry.  I can’t give this family company a higher rating!

How Will I Get Paid?

 

Income from Personal Sales

 

Either In-Home Parties, Catalog Parties, Fundraisers or Repeat (outside) Sales

 

Your Commission is:

30% on the first $1500 you sell

40% on all sales thereafter


NOTE:  You always keep 30% less fees as calculated on the order.   The remaining 10% is paid to you on the 15th of the following month in your commission check.

 

EXAMPLE:*

10 Parties x $350.00**                                                    = $3500

Income (30%) kept from Parties***                                  = $1050

Income (10% less fees) on 15th of following month            = $  350

Total Income                                                              = $1400

Hours worked:  10 x ~3.5 hours = 35 hours per Month!

 

*    Above example is basedon 40% commission

**  Commissionablesales

Opening a separate personal checking account will be very beneficial to your HGP business.  You will keep this account for your HGP business only!  Once you open the new checking account and you receive your checks, get started in HGP’s Bank Draft Program.  Once you complete and send in the ACH form, your checks will be automatically deposited into your account each month.  You place orders effortlessly online by paying for orders through your checking account (automatic withdrawal as a Bank Draft) rather than by mailing a check.  Your commission checks can then be directly deposited into this account on the 15th of the month.

 What Do You Need?

$100 a month?  $100 a week?  Or MORE?

How much time can YOU invest into this business?

3-6 hours per Month?  Per Week?  Or MORE?

 

 Why Become an HGP Designer?

            America!

ü     New catalogs twice a year with over 800 items.  Something for everyone!

ü     Incredible Commissions - earn more than $100 per party on average.  YOU work the hours
YOU choose.

It’s All Up To You

After your 6 parties and you decide it’s not for you, you will have paid for your kit, made some money for your pocket AND have all the beautiful things in your kit to KEEP!  (Remember it is worth over $300!) (Or to sell.)

YET…  You may decide you ENJOY Home & Garden Party and STAY!!
