That sounds horrible. Taking time out of your day to do nothing but be advertised to. Not even considering everyone hosting these things constantly having to invite everyone they come across to participate. Modern ads suck, but changing that to in-person interruptions to your day is not better. Of course, if you want to know what it might be like, there's likely a time-share presentation somewhere near you and you can go experience one. Be sure to set aside enough time.

Honestly the Tupperware parties weren't great for the company either; while it kept an exclusivity to the brand it also severely limited their client base. You had to know someone who hosted them, or knew someone who knew them. Then they had to take time away from things they have or want to do to go be advertised to. They ended up social when they started because you invited your friends and neighbours, but after you exhausted them you're just a door to door salesperson.

At the time, though, it was one of the few ways women could find employment. Same thing with Mary Kay cosmetics.
