Self-Storage for Your Home-Based Business

These days, home-based businesses of all stripes are becoming increasingly popular. There are a lot of reasons for that, but one of them is the continued success of the home party business model. The home party business has been around since at least the 1950s. Even if you don’t remember Tupperware parties, chances are you’re familiar with one of the countless other businesses that have benefitted from the home party model. From cosmetics and candles to home décor, customizable jewelry, knives, scrapbooking supplies, and even wine, it seems like there’s a home party business opportunity for just about everybody.

Still not sure exactly what a home party business is? Basically, it’s a direct sales business built around a bunch of people getting together—usually in someone’s home, hence the name—to have some snacks and drinks, chat, and try out samples of some product, whether it’s cosmetics or comestibles. These home parties are a great sales opportunity for the vendor, and a chance to “try before you buy” for the consumer, which may explain why they seem to be growing in popularity, even in the Internet age. While we may be able to buy just about anything we want with the click of a button these days, it’s hard to smell perfume or try on a shirt via Amazon.

Some of the leading home-based direct sales businesses include recognizable names like Avon, Mary Kay, Pampered Chef, Tupperware, and Amway, as well as more recent additions to the home party field such as Scentsy, Origami Owl, and many others. Home party businesses give you an opportunity to be your own boss, without a lot of the expense or overhead that comes with starting a business, but of course, if you’re going to be selling candles or cosmetics or kitchen utensils, you’re going to need a place to keep them all.

Many of these home party businesses require that you keep a lot of inventory on hand in order to be successful. After all, nobody can smell your candles or try out your kitchen utensils if you don’t have them around. So if you plan to sell a lot, you’ll need a way to keep your inventory neat, tidy, organized, and easy to access. That means a space that’s out of the way, but also accessible when you need it.
