Watkins Products – “The Big Seven”
Posted on April 30, 2010

One of the most frequent questions I get from new associates that join my Watkins downline is, “How much inventory should I carry if I decide to sell Watkins at a public event (i.e., festivals, fairs, church bazaar’s, trade shows, craft shows, farmer’s markets, etc.). The second question I get for those considering selling Watkins at public event is, “What products should I stock?”
After determining how much money an associate has for investment in inventory, I handle the answer to the first question based on the associate’s budget. If I find out that an associate has less than $500 to invest in inventory I tell them about marketing Watkins at home parties, for it takes very little inventory to conduct a Watkins “Living Naturally” party — less than $50 in fact. I demonstrate ways they can build a significant Watkins business using the home party sales method and then take those profits to invest in the inventory they will need to market Watkins at public events.
In general, people who purchase products at home parties are perfectly willing to place an order and wait for the product to be shipped to and delivered by the associate. Whereas, the typical customer that buys at a public event expects to purchase a physical product already in stock and walk away with it in hand. This is the main reason you need some inventory when selling at public events.
However, with a company like Watkins that makes 350 different products, it could prove costly if you attempted to carry stock of all 350 products. So my recommendation is to stock Watkins products you know will move, that will be in demand and you can offer to take orders for any products you don’t have in stock.
This gets us to the second question, “What Watkins products should I stock for my public event sales?”
Since it’s a proven fact that you’ll sell far more stock of products you opt to demo at your public events that products you don’t provide demos on, my recommendation is to start with “Watkins Big Seven” plus products you know you’ll demo. The easiest products to demo are products like vanilla, cinnamon, black pepper, Osteogen (our calcium product) and any of the Watkins snack dips. In fact, Watkins snack dips like our Dill and Cucumber Dip and our Salsa and Sour Cream dip, are so tasty and remarkable that half of your total sales at a public event can be your supply of snack dips.
Why do snack dips sell so well? Because they’re easy to demo. Just take 3 tsps of dip mix and stir it into an 8 oz. container of sour cream. Bam! You have an instant snack dip. All you have to do to demo the dip is have a bowl of chips next to a bowl of Watkins snack dip and encourage people coming by your booth to sample the dip.
What is Watkins Big Seven?
I’m referring to some of Watkins oldest products, products that have been big sellers throughout Watkins 142-year history. These are the products your parents and grandparents grew up with — memorable products that are part of that wonderful Watkins mistique that have made Watkins an endeared and favorite supplier of products for American homes for over a century. Specifically, Watkins “Big Seven,” those products people will come up to your booth and ask for, are:
- Watkins Double-Strength Vanilla Extract
- Watkins Red Liniment
- Watkins White Liniment
- Watkins Petro-Carbo Salve
- Watkins Menthol Camphor Rub
- Watkins Cinnamon
- Watkins Black Pepper
I also send new associates that desire to market Watkins at public events a list of Watkins Top-25 selling products. Our fantastic Chicken Soup Base is high on our top sales list, for example. I send them the Top-25 list and recommend they use the list to select 5 or 6 additional products from the list to add to their stock of Watkins Big Seven and Watkins snack dips. And with this total stock of 15 or so different Watkins products (including the dip mixes), I tell them they’re ready to hit the ground running, and building a successful Watkins business through public event sales.
There are many ways to build a successful Watkins business. Watkins Living Naturally home parties and public event sales are just two such methods, but they’re two of our most successful methods. Regardless how you might want to build a Watkins business, I’d be happy to discuss the Watkins home-based business opportunity with you on a confidential, no-obligation, no pressure basis. Just call my toll-free number at 1-866-759-5158 and leave a message, phone number and a convenient time I can call you back.

“Why choose Watkins products as your source of extra income, or work from home business opportunity?” I get asked this question a lot. Making a T-List of pros and cons that evaluate the Watkins home business opportunity is really quite amusing. Why? Because the list of “pros” is so long it’s almost unbelievable, and trying to come up with a list of “cons” is almost impossible.
Still, for those that are interested in marketing Watkins products, I’ll do my best to paint a fair picture and unbiased picture for you. To be fair, let me first start by saying any review I give of Watkins may not be considered as unbiased, since I’m an Independent Watkins Associate myself. But I’ll be happy to provide a list of references for you to people that can certify I’m a straight shooter and known to express my opinions, whether good or bad, on all things related to Watkins.
Pros for Selling Watkins Products
As noted above, the list of pros associated with starting a Watkins products business is long. Ask any Watkins associate about the attributes and benefits of the Watkins home-based business opportunity and I guarantee you that you’ll come up with new pros you can add to my list. That said, here are some very important attributes of Watkins products that led me to making the decision to start a Watkins home products business of my own.
- Watkins is a company of impeccable integrity, with a reputation that is 142 years in the making.
- The company was founded in 1868 and quickly became the largest home and personal use products company in the world.

- If you’re sick and can’t work after you’b
- Etc. ( I could go on and on, but if this list doesn’t impress you, nothing probably will).
)
Cons Regarding Selling Watkins Products
- Watkins is not a get rich quick opportunity. Instead, its more of a get rich slow opportunity. It can take 5 to 7 years to build a six-figure income with Watkins. That said, my 4 15 years of Internet marketing experience and work from home experience has taught me that there are no free rides in that world, that the so-called “get rich quick schemes” touted online by thousands of get-rich wannabe’s should be more accurately called get rich quick scams.
- Neither Watkins, nor your sponsor, is going to build your Watkins business for you. When becoming an associate you are not buying an existing Watkins business, but will be responsible for going out and building your own Watkins business. Too often, many people feel they can sign up and become an associate and they will become instantly rich. Sorry friend, but you’re going to have to work for what you earn with Watkins. On the plus side, the work is extremely fun, very easy, not demanding, and can be scheduled anytime you like to operate your business.
- Although Watkins provides extensive training online, providing documents and online audio recordings, it has very little video training and relies heavily on personal mentoring from your sponsor. Hence, it is extremely important that you weigh and consider the merits and experience of the Watkins associate you are considering as your sponsor. Picking a Watkins sponsor that takes a keen interest in your success and helping you build a successful Watkins business by providing great mentoring and training is probably one of the most important decisions you’ll make when you decide to start a Watkins business. Don’t be afraid to ask a prospective sponsor what he or she brings to the table, what sets them apart from other Watkins associates or makes them different from other sponsors you could choose or might be considering.
