Company history

Tupperware was developed in 1945 by Earl Tupper (1907-1983) and consisted of plastic containers used in households to contain food and keep it airtight. The formerly patented "burping seal" is a famous aspect of Tupperware, which distinguished it from competitors.

Tupperware pioneered the direct marketing strategy made famous by the Tupperware party. Brownie Wise (1913-1992), a former sales representative of Stanley Home Products, developed the strategy. During the early 1950s, Tupperware's sales and popularity exploded, thanks in large part to Wise's influence, cult of personality 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", as a method of empowering women, and giving them a toehold in the post-war business world. The tradition of Tupperware's "Jubilee" style events continues to this day, with rallies being held in major cities to recognise and reward top-selling demonstrators, managers and distributorships.

In 1958, Earl Tupper fired Brownie Wise over general difference of opinion in the Tupperware business operation. It is believed that Tupper objected to the expenses incurred by the jubilee (and other similar) celebrations of Tupperware, and somewhat to Wise's style.

An original Tupperware party was run by a Tupperware lady (so named due to the high prevalence of women) in the home of a host who invited friends and neighbours into her home to see the product line. Tupperware hosts are rewarded with free products based on the level of sales made at their party, and usually receive a gift valued between 15-30% of their party's retail sales.

Tupperware demonstrators are organised in a multi-level marketing structure with salespeople at the bottom, managers over them, and distributors at the top level, however Tupperware differs significantly from most multi-level marketing companies in that high-level managers must be invited by the company before becoming a distributor, as distributorship opportunities are limited and controlled by the company. Distributorships are usually run by a Tupperware demonstrator and his or her spouse, and a Distributor's role differs significantly from a Demonstrator's or Managers in that they are no longer responsible for selling product, with their role existing to train, lead and support their sales force. A key to the company's continued growth is that new demonstrators can join the business with no cash outlay, their initial product kit being repaid from commission from their first few parties.
