Since today is America’s birthday, I would like to mention a home – based business opportunity that not only involves products made in America but also offers a business opportunity especially for military families. The Longaberger basket company offers a direct sales business opportunity where consultants sell baskets and other home décor items through web sites as well as home parties.
Longaberger is based in Dresden, Ohio and was founded in 1973 by Dave Longaberger. Today, Longaberger consultants offer their customers the high quality handcrafted baskets which are the company’s claim to fame as well as pottery, wrought iron, and other home accents. The Longaberger home – based business opportunity is a direct sales opportunity, so it offers a flexible schedule as well as portability. Since your home – based Longaberger business can go wherever you go, it works well for military families as well as others who are always on the move. There is even a specific business opportunity listed on their web site for military families, and one of their collections, “American Valor”, is made up of items featuring military insignia.
Another good thing about the Longaberger home – based business opportunity is that it does not require a large initial investment. There are three different start – up options, with the first starting around twenty dollars. This option does not include any product samples. The other two options include some samples and are $99 and $199. There is a six month payment plan available for the $99 and $199 options. As with any home – based business opportunity, direct sales is not a good fit for everyone. Be sure to think about your personality and whether direct selling is something that you feel comfortable doing. Make sure that you thoroughly investigate and assess whether the Longaberger opportunity is right for you by reading the information on their web site and contacting them for additional information.
Of course, I must tell you that no one at Longaberger has given me anything of value in exchange for mentioning their company here, nor am I affiliated with them in any way.
