Partylite

Partylite was started in the early 1900's by a school teacher, Mabel Baker, with a passion for her hobby, candles. Mabel started out by giving her candles made from bayberrys to family and friends as gifts.In 1909, with the support of her husband, and even though it was uncommon for women to start a business at the time, Mabel's spirit and love of candles lead her to turn her hobby into her business. By 1965 Mabel's company was worth $6 million and by 1973 was looking for new ways to expand. Since the 70's was a time when American women were taking on roles outside of the home and the company was started by a successful woman, it only made sense to expand in a way that made success possible for other women. The network marketing business model was adopted for a subsidiary that was created called Partylite. Partylite was started with the hopes that the success Mabel created could be shared with other entrepreneurial women.

The Products Partylite's product line has expanded to more than just candles. While the focus is still on original candles with unique scents, Partylite also offers flameless fragrences, bath and body care, specialty decorations and beautiful decorative accents for the home.

- Bath and Body Care

Like Mabel, many women are looking for a way to earn a little extra money doing something they enjoy and even turn it into a career (not that men can't do this business also). Partylite offers two ways to earn money. One way is retail profit from selling the Partylite candles and other products. The selling method usually involves getting family and friends together for candle parties where all the products are displayed and offered for purchase. The party usually gives the people attending a chance to host their own party where more products will be offered to friends that they know.
