    Richard M. Devos, Co-Founder of Amway, Dies

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Richard M. DeVos, co-founder of Amway, dies Company and community mourn loss of leader and philanthropist Richard M. DeVos, co-founder of Amway, died peacefully at his home in Ada, Michigan, surrounded by family, on September 6, 2018. He was 92. The cause of death was complications from an infection. Perhaps best known as an inspiring, motivational leader and pioneer of the famous Amway direct selling method that offered individuals the opportunity to build businesses of their own, Mr. DeVos also was senior chairman of the Orlando Magic NBA franchise and a generous philanthropist with his late wife, Helen. A recipient of the Horatio Alger Award, Mr. DeVos’s life embodied the American dream of humble beginnings turned to great success through determined effort. He was born March 4, 1926, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and grew up during the Great Depression. He credited his interest in owning a business to his father, who always encouraged his son to go into business for himself. His entrepreneurial spirit took root in a high school friendship with classmate Jay Van Andel. The pair first dreamed of owning their own business while students at Grand Rapids Christian High School. Their friendship grew out of a business arrangement — Rich paid Jay 25 cents a week for rides to and from school in Jay’s 1931 Model A Ford. After both returned from service overseas in World War II, their early entrepreneurial ventures included a flight school and one of the first drive-in restaurants in Michigan. They sold both interests in 1948 to buy a sailboat in Connecticut with intentions to sail to the Caribbean — even though neither had any sailing experience.

    Analysis of Marketing Communication of Amway and Tupper Ware

    Introduction to marketing communication Promotion is a communication process, by which the producers of the products or services draw attention of the consumers or prospective consumers towards their products and services. Consumers are informed and reminded about the products and are requested and persuaded to purchase their products. Such communication may be made either along the product or well in advance of the introduction of product into the market. Promotion as communication: - Promotion is that marketing communication activity that attempts to inform and remind individuals and persuade them to accept, resell, recommend or use a product, service, idea or institution. Promotional communication has the triple purpose to perform. To inform, to persuade and to remind and the three basic purposes are being fulfilled at the different stages of product life cycle. Promotional communication is not always directed towards the ultimate consumer. It can be for industrial customers, institutions or some times towards middlemen. Promotion is an important tool for both profit and non profit organization. As we know that most often it is being used to sell a product or services, it is also being accepted in the marketing of social services, political candidates and ideas. Objectives: 1. Leads to behavior modification. 2. To inform. 3. To persuade. 4. To remind. 5. Specific Objectives. Such as to change the pattern of demand. Integrated Marketing Communication: In traditional marketing, promotion activities are handled by various specialist agencies. The marketing effect is fragmented and the result could be conflicting communications that confuse the customer. The result is wasted time, money and effort.

Abstract This dissertation examines the Amway Corporation, the world’s largest multi-level marketing company. Since its inception, Amway has purported to offer individuals the ability to go into business for themselves and to participate in free enterprise through direct sales. At the same time, many have attacked Amway as a fraudulent pyramid scheme that trades in false promises and leaves its distributors financially and psychologically worse off than before they joined. In addition to running the company for over three decades, Amway’s cofounders, Richard DeVos and Jay Van Andel, along with members of their families, have been influential players in the Republican Party and movement conservatism going back to the 1970s. Amway draws our attention to important subtleties in the post-World War II conservative movement. DeVos and Van Andel were prominent avatars of an ideology known as small-business conservatism. Like other champions of free enterprise, small-business conservatives attacked “big government,” but they additionally articulated a critique of corporate capitalism.
