New Habits, Rebounding Economy Help To Sell Giftware and Collectibles

New Habits, Rebounding Economy Help To Sell Giftware and Collectibles
by: Opal Gilbert
Just a few years ago, when one thought of a home-based sales business, Tupperware, Avon and a
host of multi-level marketing schemes might have come to mind. Today, however, changing market
conditions and evolving consumer habits have converged to make home-based selling businesses a
realistic opportunity with real profit potential.
This is especially true in the world of collectibles and giftware. In years past, collectors—who are
among the most discerning shoppers—had few avenues for conveniently finding and then purchasing
the items they were seeking. They would have to visit specialty shops and expensive boutiques. They
often waited for the right specialty event or show, and then would drive many miles to attend so they
could look for that exceptional piece. With Internet retail sites, online auctions, and a growing body of
home-based entrepreneurs, these shoppers now are able to take advantage of many new resources.
For those considering home-based businesses, there are many avenues. There are franchises,
partnerships and other business relationships that involve other people. Many of these require an
investment in someone else’s business, and unfortunately, many of them turn out to be scams. For
those looking to sell collectibles and giftware from home, the only investment that is made is in that
person’s own business. The start-up costs depend on how much inventory the entrepreneur can afford
to have at first.
