Who Else Wants To Be A Stay At Home Mom?

by Dawnya Sasse


Is the idea of being involved in a billion dollar business,
which you can operate from home, sound interesting?
You CAN be at home with your children and run a
company that is profitable and expected to continue
growing.

In fact, a home based tea venture is a low-risk option
with huge earning potential. Are you prepared to profit
from the soaring popularity of tea?

There are different ways a stay at home mom can
approach a tea business. Tea parties are a great way to
earn extra income and could be a great option for moms.
Children love theme-based parties and afternoon tea can
be as creative as you can get.

The idea that a tea party has to replicate an English Tea is
simply not accurate (although some may love this type of
party). The only limit to the type of tea parties that can
be offered is what you can come up with.

Examples of themed children's tea parties include favorite
books or characters (such as The Wizard of Oz), dress-up
parties or birthday parties with a twist, incorporating fun
and fruity teas.

As a mom, you already have a great network to connect
with other families and children. For those who may be
worried about promoting a business, running a tea party
service is simply a matter of telling others what you do
when you're out and about doing all those things you
normally do-taking your children to soccer practice,
school, parent meetings and more.

And because this business is unique, many people will be
naturally curious about what you do, which means your
marketing consists of answering questions during typical
conversation.

Of course, a bit of extra marketing is always a good thing,
but the point is that a tea business can be a very non-
threatening option that doesn't have to include a lot
of high pressure sales found in other home-based
businesses.

Another option that a work at home mom may be
interested in includes in-home tea presentations, where
you host a tea party for your adult friends.

In this setting, people can sample a variety of teas without
the need or pressure to buy the tea. You can then sell
teas based on taste and demand. Your customers will
have sampled the teas before purchase, which greatly
increases the rate of satisfaction.

This is also a great way to introduce people to unusual
teas that they might not ever sample otherwise. What a
wonderful service to offer! People also like buying from
those they know. As the local tea expert, you can educate
people on the wonderful world of tea.

Running a home-based tea business is affordable as well
and when running the business from home, the overhead
is very low. If you wish to establish a loose leaf tea
company, you can purchase bulk teas at wholesale, with a
large markup.

You don't need a huge amount of startup cash to purchase
teas. As your business grows, you can expand your
offerings as well. For example, you could begin by
stocking some traditional favorites and as you expand, you
can offer unusual teas on a regular basis or even start a
"tea of the month" club with regular subscriptions.

If you're interested in running a party business, you can
start small with a few popular themes, then work your way
into offering a wide range of tea party themes, complete
with costumes for children to use for dress up.

The tea business is a growing one, with sales equaling
billions of dollars each year and expanding, with sales
expected to reach ten billion by 2010.

For at-home moms looking for a unique way to work from
home, a tea business can provide the creativity and
flexibility you require in a home based business.
