Wisconsin Home Based Business Products Vendor Shows
I've been thinking of ways of how more and more home based business folks can collaborate to widen their marketing reach and even network with other at-home business owners. And then I've read about All That and Then Some, Inc., a network of businesswomen doing what they have to do at home.

All That and Then Some Inc., a network of more than 100 Wisconsin female entrepreneurs with their own home-based businesses, has started a number of invitation-only parties and vendor shows in which their businesses host private shopping events.

Grace Ladewig, co-founder of All That and Then Some, owns Bella Bolsa, a home-based seller of handbags, sunglasses and jewelry.

She said home-to-home selling has moved away from the cold-calling Tupperware sales of the past.

"What we are trying to do here is bring a convenient, more personal way of shopping so that it caters more to our clientele and their lifestyle," she said.

Ladewig said she doesn't think this form of shopping will replace traditional shopping, but it fills a niche for those shoppers looking for specialty products and others who might see shopping as a social event.

The network she helped form is a loose affiliation - there are no dues - but is invitation-only. Its member entrepreneurs share tips with one another on selling products and expanding their businesses.


Do you know of any other similar business networks?
