Park Hampers

I haven't seen a thread for this so apologies if there is one, or if this isn't allowed.
I was thinking of becoming a Park Agent and got sent paperwork and a brochure, but that's it! I can't find anywhere for help on how to start, I'm a bit dizzy at first but once I get the hang of something I am ok.
I also thought that April may be a bit late in the year to ask people if they want to save - any thoughts on that?
Are there any Park Agents out there?

Hi Lyndsey
Not having any experience in this area but i think you would struggle to find customers after so many people lost their Christmas savings from a hamper company , who went bankrupt. For the life of me i cant remember who they were, but there was major coverage of this. If you really want to go ahead i would do lots of resarch first.

Yeah, I remember, can't remember the name either and that thought had crossed my mind, especially if you went "cold calling" to the neighbours!

Hi Lyndsey,

I was an agent for Park Hampers for quite a few years, I don't do it anymore as a lot of people are a bit wary about it now since farepak went bust, I had quite a few customers too, but they didn't want to risk their money. Me and my friends have now opened a savings account for Christmas instead.
