The Pleasure Principle
There's nothing like getting together a group of women on a Friday night and showing them the pleasure of loving themselves and the right tools to do it with. That's what Passion Party consultant Lara Hall does for a living.
For the uninitiated, Passion Parties -- according to the company's Web site -- "have been enhancing the sexual relationships of our clients with sensual products designed to promote intimacy and communication between couples" for more than a decade. Here in Charlotte, Hall says it's an exciting "girls night in" and a profitable business. She started hosting the parties in October and has really thrown herself into the business, putting on eight intimate events with five to 20 people in attendance. "When I first started, my parties were averaging about $300 in sales," says Hall. "But last month, I did a $750 party and a $1,000 party."
The market is there, she reports, despite the economy. "People are looking for a cheap night in and this is a fun way to add some spice to their marriage without going broke."
As a 40-year-old mother, Hall noticed that a lot of women in her age group had questions about bringing that spark back into their love life. "My company provides that information in the training," she says, "and I figured that I could make some money helping people."
Passion Party products range from the mild to the wild. Many of the things that Hall sells can be found in stores like the Red Door or other sex shops -- but at a Passion Party, you get a blow-by-blow demonstration (so to speak) in the privacy of your (or a friend's) home.
"A lot of times," she says, "people are not comfortable going into adult toy stores."
