  • ECOFORUM [Volume 9, Issue 2(22), 2020] M.IŠORAITĖ Vilniaus Kolegija
    ECOFORUM [Volume 9, Issue 2(22), 2020] NETWORK MARKETING FEATURES: FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE M.IŠORAITĖ Vilniaus kolegija/University Applied Sciences, Didlaukio str.49, VilniusLithuania, [email protected] Abstract The article analyzes network marketing. Networking is one of the direct forms of sales based on a business model whereby a company distributes products through distributors who earn revenue through retail. The distributor earns not only sales but also the recruitment of other distributors. The article analyzes the concept of network markings, which companies engage in network marketing. Key words: network, network marketing, network marketing advantages and disadvantages. JEL Classification: M31, M39 I. INTRODUCTION Network marketing is a marketing tool that encourages the use of a particular product among friends. The popularity of networking is increasing due to the availability of modern social networks. Social networks have previously been online, but companies like Facebook, Twitter and Likedln have made them tangible. Various forms of marketing were used to make the dream a reality. Hundreds of thousands of people in free world countries are engaging in this remarkable field of activity. Reasons are simple enough: network marketing is the possibility given to everyone, regardless of education, experience, marital status, gender or age. It is the way to wealth and success in their own business, personal life, the opportunity to help other people and, of course, personal development. Network marketing is a form of direct sales, when an independent distributor sells products usually at the customer's home or by telephone. Theoretically, distributors can earn not only from sales, but also from the people they recruit (Barett, 2008).

  • Products Passion Possibilities 2009 Annual
    PRODUCTS PASSION POSSIBILITIES Real 2009 ANNUAL REPORT A New Direction 2009 was a year of signifi cant change for Mannatech. We encountered a number of challenges during the year, but by the end of 2009 a new direction for the company was set. In early January, a new All-Star Pack was launched in our domestic market with a reduced price of $499, providing a much more aff ordable business-building entry point for new Associates. Additionally, Mannatech implemented business procedures making us stronger relative to our competition. Early in the year, we reached settlements that resolved two litigation issues. Most importantly, the quality and effi cacy of Mannatech’s products were never in question. The validity of our patents was upheld as in three litigation cases that we won as plaintiff against companies infringing our patents. Also, we launched our outstanding new Essential Source™ Omega-3 product, as well as a family product called PhytoBurst™ Nutritional Chews, based on our proven PhytoMatrix® technology. Evidencing our continued mission to expand our international presence,nce, we opened four new countries in Europe and intend to add additionalal countries before the end of 2011. At year-end our Board of Directors named us as Co-CEOs. Together we have moremore than 16 years’ experience with Mannatech, producing the best dietary supplementst available. We believe that today Mannatech is better positioned to be a leader in the direct selling and wellness industries than it has been in some time. Most people have begun to recognize that wellness is a consumer-driven trend that will defi nitely have a benefi cial impact on human health.

  • A Study on Direct Selling Through Multi Level Marketing
    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.

  • Than 1000 Employers and Stakeholders Sent a Similar Letter
    December 5, 2019 Dear Majority Leader McConnell and Minority Leader Schumer, The undersigned organizations —a diverse group of employers, industries, health care stakeholders, unions, patient and disease groups — urge you to take immediate action to protect the health care of the more than 178 million Americans who receive health care coverage through an employer. We are asking you to swiftly, and fully, repeal the impending 40% tax on employer-provided health care before this onerous tax increase hits the pocketbooks of hardworking Americans. In July, the House passed a bill fully repealing this tax by an overwhelming vote of 419 to 6 and that bill is currently awaiting action in the Senate. The consequences of inaction are serious for hardworking American families. Employers are making decisions today to avoid this looming tax. Many millions of working Americans will pay more out of pocket for medical treatment or face reduced health coverage in narrower networks. According to Kaiser Family Foundation 2018 data, since 2010, health care deductibles have risen 89%, while wage growth has remained comparatively flat. To avoid the huge “Cadillac Tax” hikes coming in 2022, many employers are altering their benefit packages now. Employers that offer non-calendar year health plans, could begin, as early as next year, enrolling people into health plans that could be subject to the tax. While this tax was intended to only hit Americans with “gold-plated” plans, the reality is that very modest plans covering low- and moderate-income working families are projected to trigger the tax simply because they incur greater health expenses.

  • The Psychology of Pyramid Schemes
    The Psychology of Pyramid Schemes MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING OR ILLEGAL PYRAMID SCHEME? What is the Difference? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQLUyLHi9qc Pyramid Schemes As in Ponzi schemes, the money collected from newer victims of the fraud is paid to earlier victims to provide a veneer of legitimacy. In pyramid schemes, however, the victims themselves are induced to recruit further victims through the payment of recruitment commissions. More specifically, pyramid schemes—also referred to as franchise fraud or chain referral schemes—are marketing and investment frauds in which an individual is offered a distributorship or franchise to market a particular product. The real profit is earned, not by the sale of the product, but by the sale of new distributorships. Emphasis on selling franchises rather than the product eventually leads to a point where the supply of potential investors is exhausted and the pyramid collapses. At the heart of each pyramid scheme is typically a representation that new participants can recoup their original investments by inducing two or more prospects to make the same investment. Promoters fail to tell prospective participants that this is mathematically impossible for everyone to do, since some participants drop out, while others recoup their original investments and then drop out. 1 What is a Pyramid Scheme? Pyramid schemes are illegal scams in which large numbers of people at the bottom of the pyramid pay money to a few people at the top. Each new participant pays for the chance to advance to the top and profit from payments of others who might join later.

    DEMAND LETTER TO: ,,-cbER': ........ Counselor William Blumenthal Office of the General Counsel Federal Trade Commission 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20580 DEMAND LETTER FROM: The MLM Distributor Rights Association (DRA) From: Cheryl Gonzalez, President DRA, & Rod Cook, Chairman of the Board DRA 407 Prinz Drive San Antonio, TX 78213; 2410 Cinco Woods San Antonio, TX 78259 ~f::v.: o: SUBJECT: Re:FTC Proposed Business Opportunity Rule, R511993 ~ " Dear Madam Majoras: WHAT IS THE MLM DISTRIBUTOR RIGHTS ASSOCIATION? The Distributor Rights Association is the only non-profit organization in the MLM- Network Marketing category of the Direct Sales Industry. The DRA represents approximately 1.2 million MLM Distributors through the "downlines" represented. It consists of work-from-home distributors in the Network Marketing Industry. This distributor force is comprised of single morns who get to stay at home with their children, retirees, disabled people who find it difficult to leave the house, entrepreneurs with big dreams to take their lives to the next level and others who simply need an easy way to supplement their income in order to support their families. It was founded because of injustices to MLM distributors by immoral MLM companies who put profits in front of their promises of residual income to distributors. These companies however are in the minority as most are legitimate businesses that offer fair and just entrepreneurial ways for their distributors to make extra money. The DRA promotes communication between MLM Distributors and the companies, which is our way of policing the industry and giving the distributors a place where they feel their voice can be heard and they will have people in their corner.
