The door-to-door sales industry generates a significant benefit to the local economies they visit. The average sales professional spends $455 per week on various expenses including local lodging, food, entertainment, gas, and sundries while earning an average of $1500 in sales for products people are freely willing to buy. 30% of the sales go right back into supporting the cities, counties, and towns that are supporting them. This is in direct contrast to catalog, telemarketing, and internet sales operations that have no impact on the local communities in which they sell.

The combined yearly total is over $60 Million nationwide. These are for products the public willingly purchases and will purchase through other means if necessary.

Additionally, over $10 million in sales taxes are collected by companies selling taxable products of which between $1 Million and $2 Million is paid to local city and county governments.

Nationally, the Door-to-Door sales industry employs and uses the services of over 600 support personnel and 2500 independent contractors who spend their earnings and pay taxes in their respective local areas as well.

Average Spent Locally Per Salesperson Per Week:
