Foothills resident Donna Sneed has a full-time job, cares for her husband, is an active member of her church and even makes time to attend every UA home basketball game.
And 15 months ago, she decided to take a second job.
Sneed became one of the almost 14 million Americans, 80 percent of whom are women, who make a living selling products from their homes. And she’s not alone in the Foothills, where at private homes everything from skin-care products to sex toys are being peddled every week.
Once limited to the marketing of a few kinds of items at events such as Tupperware parties, the field of direct selling has grown to become almost a $30 billion industry, according to the Direct Selling Association, a national trade group.
