In 1986 two sisters named Lisa Brandau (president) and Becky Wright (CEO) founded a direct selling business called Country Peddlers and Company of America. (now known as At Home America)
Over the last 20 years they have helped stay at home moms become "Homestyle Specialists" by selling hand-crafted collectibles and various homewares. This includes pottery, afghans, prints, candles, body lotions, refresher oils and mists, quilts, bedding and furniture.
With the help of the internet At Home America offers customers the opportunity to shop at a beautiful showroom without leaving their own living room. Other selling methods involve catalog and home parties as well as fundraisers.
Startup cost is $149 to become an official At Home America associate. You can earn up to 36% on personal sales and 6% commissions from people that you bring into the business and mentor. This is standard procedure in the MLM industry.
Most recently, At Home America was recognized in "Working Woman" magazine as one of the top 500 female-owned businesses nationwide.
Does this business system make money?
Once you have shown your At Home America website to friends and relatives the real test will be marketing that website to others on the net. The more people who visit, the more sales and business-builders you can bring into your business.
