What does it take to become an angel? Creativity, artistic flair and the skills to make money out of your imagination! The Angel Company or TAC was started by Mischelle Smith in 1997 at Salina, Kansas as an MLM company that gave people the chance to buy stamps for personal use as well as for business.
The Angel Merchandise
The Company started with rubber stamps, and then diversified to distribute scrapbooks, paper crafters and exclusive papers. The scrapbook business was very successful because it was introduced at a time when there was a craze for the hobby. You wouldn’t be able to buy these products from retail outlets; you could get them at Funshops hosted by Angels,as the distributors are called or directly from a distributor.
After launching its unmounted stamping system in 1999, TAC expanded to reach 48 states in US and has offices in Alaska, Hawaii and several other cities.
Let’s see what the advantages are of being an Angel distributor apart from the obvious advantage of being called an “Angel”. We shall also discuss the challenges involved and the feasibility of this business opportunity.
