- SimplyFun Matt Molen, 877-557-7767 Vice President of Marketing mmolen@simplyfun.com Between escalating gas prices and continued cost increases with groceries, the current position of the economy has left many stay-at-home parents facing the issue of having to go back to work. However, the direct selling industry offers an opportunity for parents to go back to work, while staying
at home.
According to Chief Funster and co-founder of SimplyFun, Gail DeGiulio, direct selling companies, like SimplyFun, allow parents to make their own hours, have unlimited earning potential and, most importantly, work from home.
Today, there are some 61 million direct sellers in more than 170 countries in the world, with sales of more than $111 billion, according to a recent report by the Direct Selling Association. Under preliminary figures from the Association's annual Growth and Outlook Survey, 15 million people worked as direct sellers in the United States last year.
DeGiulio attributes some of that growth to the advantages direct selling holds for stay-at-home parents.
"With all the economic woes currently taking place, people are really looking at SimplyFun as a way to earn a couple of additional bucks here-and-there, or as a single source of income," DeGiulio said. "Besides having professional benefits, SimplyFun is a great way to meet new people and bring more play and laughter into people's lives."
At a SimplyFun party, the consultant brings a diverse selection of entertaining games to a home and the host invites guests that include family, friends, coworkers and other acquaintances - then the party of play begins. Besides "face-to-face fun", the consultants also experience wholesale privileges and have the opportunity to earn once in a lifetime trips with their sales achievements.
According to DeGiulio, play is not frivolous; it's essential for human beings. "Whether you're three or 103 years old, you need play to have a happy, successful, balanced life. Our consultants are able to have a career that not only satisfies them financially, but allows them to demonstrate why we all need to play more."
