    Members of the Senate Commerce, Labor & Economic Development Committee Presented by Dirk Bloemendaal, Amway Government Affairs (Ada, Michigan) Support for SB 2231 / Strengthening State Pyramid Scheme Law Introduction: On behalf of our 2,000 Kansas independent business owners, I wish to express Amway’s strong support for SB 2231, a bill that would strengthen Kansas’s anti-pyramid scheme law. Kansas has a law on the books that needs to be updated and strengthened. SB 2231 will also draw a clear line of distinction between legitimate direct selling opportunities in Kansas and illegal pyramid schemes. Too often, pyramid schemes succeed because of the lack of clear laws defining them. Pyramid schemes continue to appear and re-invent themselves around the country despite the best efforts of the law enforcement community. SB 2231 will more clearly define illegal pyramid promotional schemes and help protect Kansans from becoming victims. The new law will also protect legitimate direct selling opportunities, such as those offered by Amway, Mary Kay, Avon, Nu Skin, Pampered Chef, Shaklee, Southwestern Advantage, Thirty-One Gifts, Tupperware and many other well-respected companies. Thousands of Kansans are independent distributors of these income-earning opportunities, supplementing their family incomes by selling quality products to family, friends, and neighbors, while interesting others to do the same. Amway alone has over 2,000 independent Kansas distributors, working to help their families. The line of distinction separating out their legal small businesses from illegal pyramid schemes must be clear and strong. What Pyramid Schemes Are: Pyramid schemes are illegal get-rich-quick schemes in which the main source of money comes from paying large recruiting fees – not from the sales of real product to real consumers.

    International Journal of Advancements in Research & Technology, Volume 1, Issue 4, September-2012 1 ISSN 2278-7763 A Study On Direct Selling Through Multi Level Marketing F. MARY MERLIN Department of Management Studies, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, India. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Direct selling is a multi-level marketing in which the sales force is compensated not only for the sales they make but also for the sales done through their recruit. This recruited sales force is referred to as the participants who can provide multiple levels of compensation. A person's job would be to recruit others to sell their product, and in return, receive a percentage of their sales. The next person's job then is to recruit people even more so below them, and receive a percentage of their sales. Other terms for Multi-level marketing include network marketing and referral marketing. Commonly, the salespeople are expected to sell products directly to consumers by means of relationship through referrals marketing. Some people use direct selling as a synonym for MLM, although MLM is only one type of direct selling Keywords : Multi-Level Marketing, Direct Selling, Traditional Marketing. 1 INTRODUCTION evolution of direct selling.
