What is the deal with Longeberger Baskets?
Question:Why are they so popular?
Answers:
They are beautiful handmade baskets, and very sturdy. But the popularity has do with the way they are marketed - like Tupperware. A hostess sponsors a party in her home, she gets gifts from the licensed Longeberger dealer. The dealer tries to get other women to sign up to become dealers, or to sponsor parties in their homes. And so on. It's a social thing - probably mainly popular now with homemakers (if there are any of those left!) or women who like an excuse to get their husbands out of the house so they can have a hen party.
Nutty women with too much money need something to waste it on..go to the longeberger website and check out the corporate building - it looks like a freaking basket - no kidding and I drive by it almost daily.
