Sign of the times, from Tupperware Parties to Gold Parties
What seems to be going on in living rooms across America with mom’s overrun with daily chores, household duties and job expectations is a party bringing groups of curious neighbors to find out how much money is hiding in their closets, shelves and jewelry boxes. With gold prices on the rise and oil prices pushing prices further a neTupperware to Gold partiesw business is born in living rooms across America. The business was started by an innovator as brilliant as the Tupperware inventor himself. In early 2008, January Thomas decided to create a business around the famous Tupperware model that was focused on gold.

It was all back in the year 1946 that a famous inventor named Earl Silas Tupper came up with a ground breaking design and business plan that changed the face of America. The product was dubbed as Tupperware and gained it’s famous and patented, “burping seal” trademark that became well known throughout kitchens of the country. The business was built through women returning from jobs they had acquired during World War II. After returning from jobs that proved to women they had the skills to do business, they started forming “jubilee” celebrations honoring top sellers of Tupperware. Within 16 years Tupperware become an international brand known throughout the world. Now looking down the road in current affairs and the new face of the American economy, we see a new business built off the same core model of business fundamentals and viral opportunity.

This business is built in American homes and is modeled to be replicated throughout the American countryside and the world. This new business is not built off of burping Tupperware products, but comes from a raw material that is mined from the depths of the earth. Just as people rushed to the West for riches in the exploration of gold, people are rushing into living roGold Party collectionoms to hawk up their possessions of love, gifts, heirlooms and other possessions that are made of gold. In the hills of suburbia lies a mine deeper than was once realized, the overfilled or forgotten jewelry box or attic.

The business was not created from thin air, but festered from a marriage that brought Mrs. Thomas into a jewelry-dealing family that opened her eyes to what gold was worth, once it was liquidated into dollars. With rough times facing many lower and middle-class families in America, Mrs. Thomas decided to start a new business that played middleman to the gold refinery business and named it My Gold Party. Typically, it’s a tossup what you might get when liquidating a piece of jewelry, a watch or even coins that are made of gold but with this new business model, the value of the gold is told to the owner within minutes.>>>>>snip
