WHAT DOES THE COUNTRY PEDDLERS AND COMPANY OF AMERICA DO?
CPCA is a home show company, which falls under the direct sales umbrella. Now what does that mean? We go into the homes of our Hostess, where their family and friends are "gathered". This enables you to do a presentation of the country collectibles in your Country Store! We call our home shows Gatherings; a warm, friendly atmosphere in which your guests can socialize and shop, right in the convenience of your Hostess' home. We're a Country Store Brought Right to Your Door!
WHAT IS A COUNTRY STORE?
Country Store is the term CPCA uses for your sample kit. This is what you will bring right to the home of your Hostess. It includes a representation of what is offered in our entire collection. Many Country Peddlers periodically add to their Country Store which they can purchase at a substantial discount. After all, the more you have to show your customers, the better your sales will be!
WHAT DOES IT COST?
The country Store is $199 (plus S&H + your sales tax)- It contains about $300 worth of collectibles, and $200 worth of paper supplies. We also offer an optional catalog program where you sign up for 25, 50, or 75 catalogs a month. When you use this program the catalogs are only .39 a piece vs. $1.50. It is also subtracted out of your commission statement, which makes it nice and easy. Additionally, display units and add on stores can be purchased as optional extras!
DO I HAVE TO MAKE DELIVERIES TO CUSTOMERS?
Absolutely NOT! Once you have held your gatherings and sent in the orders, you are basically done. CPCA will ship the collectibles directly to your Hostess, along with bags and instructions on how to separate the orders. She then disburses the products to her guests. We want your business to be as hassle-free as possible and still make it a pleasant experience for your customers!
WHAT MAKES CPCA SO SPECIAL?
We stand apart from many other companies because of our experience. We have been in business for over 15 years. We put that experience into everything we do for YOU!

HOW DO I KNOW PEOPLE WILL SHOW UP FOR THE GATHERINGS?
That's an easy one - it's up to YOU! Through the training we provide, you will learn how to "coach" your hostesses.
