Tupperware is the name of a home products line that includes
preparation, storage, containment, and serving products for the kitchen
and home. It also includes plastic
containers used to store goods and/or food. In 1942, Earl Tupper
developed his first bell shaped container; the brand products were
introduced to the public in 1948.
Tupperware develops, manufactures, and internationally distributes its products as a wholly owned subsidiary of its parent company Tupperware Brands . It is marketed by means of approximately 1.9 million direct salespeople on contract.[2]
In 2013, the top marketplace of Tupperware was Indonesia , which toppled Germany as the second. Indonesia's last year sales were more than $200 million with 250,000 sales person
Tupperware was developed in 1946 by Earl Silas Tupper (1907–83) in Leominster, Massachusetts .[4]
He developed plastic containers used in households to contain food and
keep it airtight. The once-patented "burping seal" is a famous aspect of
Tupperware, which distinguished it from competitors. Earl Tupper
invented the plastic for Tupperware already in 1938, but the product
only worked with the emergence of the sale through presentation in a
party setting. In 1949, Tupperware introduced the 'Wonderlier Bowl' that
gave a start to a revolutionary range of kitchen utensils.
Tupperware pioneered the direct marketing strategy made famous by the Tupperware party .
The Tupperware Party allowed for women of the 1950s to work and enjoy
the benefits of earning an income without completely taking away the
independence granted to women during the Second World War when women
first began entering the labor market, all the while keeping their focus
in the domestic domain.[5]
The "Party" model builds on characteristics generally developed by
being a housewife (e.g., party planning, hosting a party, sociable
relations with friends and neighbors) and created an alternative choice
for women who either needed or wanted to work. Brownie Wise
(1913–92) realized Tupperware's potential as a fun commodity. She
realized, however, that she had to be creative and therefore started to
throw these Tupperware parties. Wise, a former sales representative of
Stanley Home Products, developed the strategy. Tupper was so impressed
that Brownie Wise was made vice president of marketing in 1951. Wise
soon created Tupperware Parties Inc
During the early 1950s, Tupperware's sales and popularity exploded,
thanks in large part to Wise's influence among women who sold
Tupperware, and some of the famous "jubilees" celebrating the success of
Tupperware ladies at lavish and outlandishly themed parties. Tupperware
was known—at a time when women came back from working during World War II only to be told to "go back to the kitchen"[7] —as a method of empowering women, and giving them a toehold in the postwar business world.[8] [9] [10]
The tradition of Tupperware's "Jubilee" style events continues to
this day, with rallies being held in major cities to recognize and
reward top-selling and top-recruiting individuals, teams, and
organizations.
In 1958, Earl Tupper fired Wise over general difference of opinion in
the Tupperware business operation. Officially, Tupper objected to the
expenses incurred by the jubilee and other similar celebrations of
Tupperware.[11]
However, the real reason was that Tupper had been approached by several
companies interested in buying him out; he felt that he would not be
able to sell with a woman in an executive position.[12] Rexall bought Tupperware in 1958.
Tupperware spread to Europe in 1960 when Mila Pond hosted a Tupperware party in Weybridge , England , and subsequently around the world. At the time, a strict dress code
was required for Tupperware ladies, with skirts and stockings (tights)
worn at all times, and white gloves often accompanying the outfit.[13] A technique called "carrot calling" helped promote the parties: representatives would travel door to door in a neighborhood and ask housewives to "run an experiment" in which carrots
would be placed in a Tupperware container and compared with "anything
that you would ordinarily leave it in"; it would often result in the
scheduling of a Tupperware party.[13]
Rexall sold its namesake drugstores in 1977, and renamed itself Dart Industries. Dart merged with Kraftco to form Dart & Kraft. The company demerged, with the former Dart assets named Premark International. Tupperware Brands was spun off from Premark in 1996; Premark was acquired by Illinois Tool Works three years later.[citation needed ]
In 2003, Tupperware closed down operations in the UK and Ireland, citing customer dissatisfaction with their direct sales model.[14] There has been limited importer-distribution since then.[15] The company announced a formal relaunch in the UK in mid-2011,[16] and recruited UK staff, but in December the relaunch was cancelled.[17]
Tupperware is now sold in almost 100 countries, after peaking at more than a hundred after 1996
Tupperware is still sold mostly through a party plan ,
with rewards for hosts. A Tupperware party is run by a Tupperware
"consultant" for a host who invites friends and neighbors into his or
her home to see the product line. Tupperware hosts are rewarded with
free products based on the level of sales made at their party. Parties
also take place in workplaces, schools, and other community groups.
In most countries, Tupperware's sales force is organized in a tiered
structure with consultants at the bottom, managers and star managers
over them, and next various levels of directors, with Legacy Executive
Directors at the top level. In recent years, Tupperware has done away
with distributorships in the United States. This has allowed Tupperware
more flexibility and generous commissions and rewards for their
consultants
Tupperware created a way for women to remain housewives while creating an independence from the home in a sociable atmosphere.[23]
The reciprocity that emerges at the “parties,” which are
traditionally composed of friends and family members of the hostess,
creates a nurturing atmosphere without a direct sales feeling. Studies
show that the creation of the “Tupperware party” is a gendered construct
aimed at appeasing the general ethos of the domestic arrangements of
the era where men were the sole earners and it was the women's
responsibility to manage the housework. It was the Larkin company,
however that were the forerunners of these types of "parties", during
the 1890s, that were popularized by such organizations as Tupperware.
Feminist views vary regarding the Tupperware format of sales through
parties, and the social and economic role of women portrayed by the
Tupperware model. Opposing views state that the intended gendered
product and selling campaign further domesticates women, and keeps their
predominant focus on homemaking.[23]
The positive feminist views consider that Tupperware provided work for
women who were pregnant or otherwise not guaranteed their position at
work due to the unequal gender laws in the workplace. The company
promoted the betterment of women and the endless opportunities
Tupperware offered to women; whereas, the negative view includes the
restriction of women to the domestic sphere and limiting the real separation between running the household and a career.[5]
The emergence of Tupperware on the American market created a new kind
of opportunity to an entirely underrepresented labor demographic; women,
and especially suburban housewives, which subsequently facilitated the
calls for equal rights between men and women in the workplace
