As the trend of home based businesses increases, more people are choosing to quit their jobs, spend more quality time with their families and work from home. Of these, an increasing number are choosing to start SMC (Specialty Merchandise Corporation) home businesses.
History
Abe Levine started SMC over 50 years ago. His idea was to store huge quantities of gifts and general merchandise, and hire members of the general public to sell them, effectively putting people into business for themselves because he believed that people worked harder when they were working for themselves. Today thousands of people have joined SMC home business opportunities to supplement their income by selling gifts and other products from their homes. The mission statement of SMC is to 'help people achieve their dreams and goals.'
Products and Plans
By joining SMC you get access to over 3,000 items at extremely low, wholesale prices. The products offered include: a Metal Planter Shelf, Scented Shell Candles, a Single Person Hammock, a Sun Ray Mirror, a Garden Tool Set, Mahogany Lamps, Glass Candle Holders, Prayer Flower Candles and Barbecue Sets.
Upon joining you get a 'money-making program' manual and video as well as product catalogues. You also get special savings on merchant accounts, a personal business coach for 60 days, fast automated shipping of your orders, a 30 day money back guarantee, a free promotional website and unlimited business advice throughout your membership. The membership fee is either $24.95 for the Silver Plan or $299.95 for the Gold Plan.
Facilities
There is no need to worry about storage facilities for the products because SMC provides you with its own warehouse to store your merchandise. Inside the membership kit you get over 10 marketing programs that include internet, mail order, home parties, flea markets and fund raising drives. Orders are shipped to you or your customer within 24-48 hours and the best part about joining SMC is that you pocket profits of 100-300%.
Profits
SMC is not a franchise-based business. In franchises you are required to share the profits, but with SMC you buy the products well below the wholesale rate and profit from whatever you sell. You are under no obligation to buy exclusively from SMC, but to sell SMC products you must be a member. By joining SMC you are kept posted about new gift and merchandise arrivals, as well as special promotions and services. There is an online newsletter containing the latest news, moneymaking tips, and success stories of fellow SMC members. Another good feature of joining SMC is that there is no minimum order of merchandise, you operate your business at your own pace and order what you need when you need it. An extremely lucrative venture for the home business owner, SMC home business opportunities are perfect for those who want to work at their own pace from their own home.
