The benefits of hosting a PartyLite show are numerous, and at times can become down right awesome.

So you set your date, you invited everyone you know, but what do you get out of the deal? First, you get a fun night in with your closest friends and family, but of course, you want to know about free products!

The minimum sales for your show to qualify as a party are $150. At this level you will be eligible for $25 in free PartyLite product, candles or Two Sisters Gourmet by PartyLite food items. At $200 in party sales, you earn $50 in host(ess) credit, but it only gets better from there.

In general, free product choices are based at $25 for each $100 in show sales. However at $250 in sales you have $50 in hostess credit, any item you desire at 50% off and you get to purchase from the host rewards flyer for the month in which your party is held. Host rewards change every month, but are typically popular selling items and fragrances at steep discounts. These rewards are only available at the discount prices for hosts with sales of $250 or more, and are not available to guests.

When your show reaches $400 in sales you are able to pick a second item of your choice at 50% off. At this level you now have a free $100 shopping spree and two items at 50% off the original price.

Your credits continue to grow as you move up in sales amounts. For each $100 in sales you gain $25 credit and each $200 in sales after $400 you will be granted another item at 50% off.

So what's the catch? There isn't really a catch, but there is one piece of information every host-to-be should be aware of. In order to gain your $25 for each $100 your show needs to acquire a booking. PartyLite consultants run their business mostly by word of mouth and referrals. In the event you cannot obtain a booking you will have the option to rebook yourself or take $15 in credit for each $100 in sales as opposed to $25 for each $100.

PartyLite consultants are independent business owners and therefore may often add incentives of their own to reach certain sales levels or to obtain more bookings from your show. Each consultant is different, but be sure to ask your consultant what bonuses they offer.

At times PartyLite will add in extra bonuses for show hosts as well. For instance, some months host specials/rewards include an extra $100 in product credit for a small fee when your show reaches $400 in sales. During holiday seasons, there may be contests or coupon codes offering hostesses for certain months extra
