Is MLM a profitable business These conclusions were confirmed in the opportunity? And if so, for whom? Just do the average earnings reports of all 30 MLMs for math – the numbers don't lie. In this and which we were able to obtain data published preceding chapters, you will find the most by the companies themselves. Such statistics rigorous and thorough analysis of MLM are invaluable for analysts to debunk the profitability ever done by an independent many misrepresentations that are told to research firm. Questions about the viability thousands of prospects every day. and profitability of MLM as a business model Failure and loss rates for MLMs are not and its many company manifestations are comparable with legitimate small answered in this and prior chapters – based businesses, which have been found to be on 15 years’ research, worldwide feedback, profitable for 39% over the lifetime of the and analysis of the compensation plans of business; whereas less than 1% of MLM over 350 of the leading MLMs, as well as participants profit. MLM makes even average earnings data, where available. The gambling look like a safe bet in comparison. answers are not pretty.

  • Prior Compliance List of Aircraft Operators Specifying the Administering Member State for Each Aircraft Operator – June 2014
    Prior compliance list of aircraft operators specifying the administering Member State for each aircraft operator – June 2014 Inclusion in the prior compliance list allows aircraft operators to know which Member State will most likely be attributed to them as their administering Member State so they can get in contact with the competent authority of that Member State to discuss the requirements and the next steps. Due to a number of reasons, and especially because a number of aircraft operators use services of management companies, some of those operators have not been identified in the latest update of the EEA- wide list of aircraft operators adopted on 5 February 2014. The present version of the prior compliance list includes those aircraft operators, which have submitted their fleet lists between December 2013 and January 2014. BELGIUM CRCO Identification no.

  • 5M1b Ltr to FTC Re MLM Income and Health Claims FINAL
    June 30, 2021 VIA EMAIL Samuel Levine Acting Director, Bureau of Consumer Protection Federal Trade Commission 600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W. Washington, D.C. 20580 [email protected] Dear Mr. Levine: For far too long multilevel marketing (MLM) companies have used deceptive marketing to promote the business opportunity and sell their wares.1 In fact, the problem is so longstanding and pervasive that the MLM industry’s self-regulatory body, the Direct Selling Self-Regulatory Council (DSSRC), stated just last month that: Though the industry has made significant strides to curtail the dissemination of unsupported claims regarding income potential …, there is still a great deal of work ahead of us to assure that the product and earnings claims communicated to consumers and potential salesforce members are truthful and accurate.2 Moreover, industry trade group, the Direct Selling Association (DSA), published an article in its January 2021 journal that stated, “[d]irect sellers will never be able to wholly prevent distributors from making improper claims.”3 Such pessimism is cause for concern as improper health and income claims not only deceive consumers but also lead to social, emotional, and physical harms, and financial hardship.4 Given this backdrop, TINA.org urges the Commission to implement a penalty offense program targeting the direct selling industry and its market-wide practice of utilizing deceptive earnings representations and false health claims.5 For more than 40 years, the FTC has consistently pursued individual MLM companies making

  • Personalization Guidelines
    Personalization Guidelines Purpose Our personalization services are a very important part of the Thirty-One experience. We believe our personalization services set our products and our brand apart. Although we never want to disappoint you or our Customers, there are legal and policy limits to the personalization requests that we will fulfill. These Personalization Guidelines are intended to assist you in: • Helping our Customers understand what personalization requests we cannot fulfill; • Avoiding damage to the Thirty-One brand; • Avoiding the infringement of the trademarks of others; and • Reducing potential legal liability for both Thirty-One and our Customers. Our hope is that these Guidelines will help you to advise Customers of problematic personalization requests when Customers place their orders. Why Can’t Thirty-One Fulfill All Personalization Requests? Legal Reasons There are legal reasons why we cannot fulfill certain personalization requests. Sometimes companies (like Avon or Microsoft), sports teams (like the Cleveland Browns or the Ohio State Buckeyes), and famous people (like Jennifer Lopez) make a filing with the government to register their name, the name of a product (like Apple’s iPad) or a tag line (like Nike’s “Just Do It”). If we fulfill a request to personalize a Thirty-One product with a name or phrase that has been “trademarked,” then there is a risk we could face a legal claim for “trademark infringement.” Trademark infringement can occur when someone uses a name or phrase that causes confusion with someone else’s trademark. Here is an example. The word “Coach” could refer to a sports team’s coach or it could refer to the COACH brand of handbags.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. 3_LIU_FINAL.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 4/26/2018 12:16 PM The Behavioral Economics of Multilevel Marketing Heidi Liu* Abstract Multilevel marketing companies (MLMs) — sales organizations that compensate independent consultants based on the sales and recruitment of other consultants — form a significant part of the American economy. Yet, MLMs provide little information to regulators and potential participants regarding potentially material information. Although MLMs are often compared to pyramid schemes, consultants argue that participation in a MLM allows them to make money outside of the traditional full-time labor force. This paper examines the law, economics, and psychology of MLMs, suggesting that MLMs may draw on prospective consultants’ cognitive biases in persuading consultants to join and continue a MLM. Consultants may be led to focus on unlikely benefits and to conform to notions of success that seem consistent with the “American dream” — even to their financial loss. * Ph.D.

  • Multilevel-Marketing Companies Like Lularoe Are Forcing People Into Debt and Psychological Crisis
    Multilevel-marketing companies like LuLaRoe are forcing people into debt and psychological crisis 8/6/17 Quartz Alden Wicker © Provided by Quartz Instagram Photo “I was urged to stop paying my bills to invest in more inventory. I was urged to get rid of television. I was urged to pawn my vehicle. I just had to get on anxiety meds over all of it because I’ve started having panic attacks.” In June 2016, Sophie (name changed) quit her job in the suburbs of Fort Worth, Texas, to sell for LuLaRoe, a rapidly growing clothing company that offers self-employment opportunities to American women in the form of hawking hyper-hued apparel. LuLaRoe’s consultants told her—and tens of thousands of other mostly rural and suburban women over the past five years—that she could provide for her family, join a sisterhood of supportive women, and find meaning in her life again through the conduit of colorful, stretchy fashion—all for a reasonable upfront investment of around $5,000. As economic opportunity has become more concentrated in urban areas in the U S , rural communities have fallen behind. Residents of towns like Casper (Wyoming), Spring Creek (Nevada), and DeRidder (Louisiana) all missed out on economic recovery following the 2007 global financial crisis. Bootstrapping, hard-working families in these regions are urgently searching for a way to regain their economic liberty, along with their dignity. Fed the fantasy of achieving the all-elusive American dream, many of them are being wooed by multilevel- marketing companies. Known as MLMs (or “direct-sales”), the current US administration is stocked with their cheerleaders: Betsy DeVos, the secretary of education, is married to a co-founder of Amway; Ben Carson is a spokesperson for a vitamin MLM called Mannatech; and president Donald Trump used to have an MLM, Trump Network, and was a spokesperson for another .
