So sorry MonaVie, eXfuze, XanGo, Vemma... the retailers have taken your consumers. :(

Adding on an earlier blog about business fundamentals...
as how a recent advertisement shown very regularly on prime-time TV goes:

"Acai berries... Blueberries... Raspberries... Mulberries... and Cranberries... Five natural antioxidants, one perfect herbal blend. New no sugar added PowerBerries Juice!".
[Background advert text: Power of 5. Combined power of anti-oxidants (vitamin C).]

This is the latest marketing pitch by one of South Asia's largest retail beverage producers.





Not only that, they've also got another Mixed Fruit Mangosteen juice among their extensive range!
Another range called Fruit Tree has "Carrot Mixed Fruit Juice with Wolfberry Juice" & also "Pomegranate Mangosteen & Mixed Fruit Juice".

NOW putting on your business thinking-caps again... industry researchers, mlm folks (including those starting to look at building an income via network marketing or a home-based business):
the big-picture benefits of running a network distribution business on multi-level commissions are truly wholesome & great.

BUT does it make sense for you to compete with a mass-market retailer who has undercut your superfruit / superfood blend's price??

MonaVie, XanGo, Vemma / New Vision, eXfuze, 4Life Riovida, FreeLife Goji / GoChi, Morinda / TNI, ViaViente / Via Viente, Intra, Fruta Vida, etc.
ALL are EXCELLENT juice / herbal supplements.

But it is now a confirmed fact that 99% of your prospective liquid-nutrition customers will argue back at you with double-enthusiasm, when they learn that they can get PeelFresh Power Berries or FruitTree Fresh at a friggin' US$5 or LESS for a whopping 1.89 litres (64 oz)!!

Prospective consumers / members will get utterly confused when pitched $50-80 for each 1 litre (32 oz) bottle of the above direct-sales brands sold via independent distributors.

More likely than not, being humans they will simply opt for the lower-cost alternative.
This time round, Peel Fresh PowerBerries & Fruit Tree Fresh win the price war hands-down. As for the marketing war, well...
don't forget the catchy mass-market advert (see above youtubes!) running non-stop on most mass media avenues.

What catchy TV spots they are!
With such heated retail competition, the only type of direct-selling / direct-marketing companies that can match up for juices... would be TV or Home-shopping, and unfortunately not mlm / network-marketing.

Oprah does NOT endorse MonaVie & other Açaí brands

Time to wake up web surfers / marketers / consumers...

Oprah Winfrey does not endorse the MonaVie juice or any other acai brand.

Oprah & her guest on the show speaks of the potential of the fruit only very simply like Time Magazine per our earlier post does -- its just a general "review"!!
BUT look at how much unnecessary hype the spindoctors (aka spammers, & unfortunately MonaVie corporate executives who caught the bug) have generated from the short segment. LOL.

This tactic is not new. It follows earlier hypes generated by Freelife Goji / Gochi.

---

As officially posted on Oprah.com here in January 2009:

The Truth About Oprah and Açaí and MonaVie
Consumers should be aware that Oprah Winfrey is not associated with nor does she endorse any açaí berry product, company or online solicitation of such products, including MonaVie juice products. Attorneys for Harpo are pursuing companies that claim such an affiliation.

ABC News in Boston posted this on 27th April 2009:

Beware Acai Berry Offers
Health Claims Questioned, Consumers Report Troubles

BOSTON -- Some call it a super fruit, claiming that acai berry can make those who eat it healthier and thinner. But the manner in which many acai berry products are marketed is leaving many consumers with a sour taste.

NewsCenter 5's Susan Wornick reported Monday that better business bureaus in Massachusetts and across the country have been flooded with consumer complaints about free trial offers of acai berry products that aren't as they appear.

Watch the news video here.

"These are companies that take advantage of those people that are desperate," said Warren King of the Better Business Bureau.

Acai juice is riding high on claims it fights cholesterol, is an anti-aging elixir and even acts as a natural Viagra.

Viewers who have emailed Team 5 Investigates complain that they ordered a 30-day free trial of acai berry and agreed to pay about $5 shipping, but instead ended up with credit card charges up to $80 or $90.

Another wrote, "What's hidden in the fine print, is that they are going to continually send you bottles of these supplements and charge your credit card $75-$80 a bottle until you call & cancel the subscription."

King said many consumer complain they have a hard time clearing up any misunderstanding with the companies.

"They can't get through, or that their lines or down or that the mailboxes are full or that the e-mails don't work."

After Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Oz spoke about the health benefits of acai berry, some companies began claiming she had endorsed their products.

Winfrey said otherwise, releasing a statement, "Consumers should be aware that Oprah Winfrey is not associated with nor does she endorse any açaí berry product, company or online solicitation of such products, including MonaVie juice products. Attorneys for Harpo are pursuing companies that claim such an affiliation."

Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is investigating claims, and the Center for Science in the Public Interest is also warning consumers to avoid free acai berry trial offers.

Further, dietician Leslie Bonci, of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, said there is no evidence to back up health claims that some acai berry companies make.

"I don't think we should be excited," she said. "As a matter of fact, I think we should be a little remorseful to pay five bucks for a bottle of something that is not going to make me thinner, or healthier and we can get those antioxidant benefits in other ways."

Finally, The Courier-Journal, a Top Newspaper from the Kentucky & Southern Indiana region published this piece on 2nd May 2009:

Tips from the Better Business Bureau consumer watch

The Better Business Bureau is advising social networkers to read the fine print when responding to advertising on Facebook or other social-networking sites because the large print doesn't always tell the whole story.

Ubiquitous ads for weight-loss products, work-at-home opportunities and offers for "free" computers can cost shoppers more in the long run.

Just because an ad appears on a Web site they trust doesn't mean they can always trust the advertisers. The following is an example of an ad on a social networking site and what the fine print reveals:

The pitch: Lose weight

In January, the BBB issued a warning to consumers about online ads and Web sites that use Oprah Winfrey's name to sell acai berry supplements as weight-loss miracles. These ads link to fake blogs that are designed to look like testimonials of women who lost weight on the acai supplements. Recent research by the Center for Science in the Public Interest identified more than 75 phony blogs that led to Web sites touting acai-berry supplements.

The fine print

The phony blogs link to Web sites that offer a free trial of an acai supplement. While the customers may think they only have to pay shipping, they could get billed as much as $87.13 every month if they don't cancel before the trial period ends. The fine print also explains that the trial period begins from the moment customers order the supplements and not after they receive the shipments.

BBB warns

Not only do health experts question the legitimacy of the weight-loss claims linked to acai berry, the BBB has received thousands of complaints from consumers who were billed despite never receiving their free trial or were billed every month despite numerous attempts to cancel.

Not all ads on social-networking sites are misleading and misleading ads aren't confined to Facebook or MySpace. It's important for people to always read the fine print carefully before giving their credit-card information online.

Donald Trump in MLM again?

"The Donald" is "back" in network marketing!

He openly supported this business concept in his bestselling book with Kiyosaki.

It does not matter if he is just a pitch-man in his latest gig. Nor if he is an owner / investor / master distributor / whatever.
Fact is, he endorses the industry and it also proves that The New Professionals are coming of age!

HOWEVER, one should favour a little thought before jumping aboard this bandwagon. Everybody should recall how super-salesperson Zig Ziglar's mlm startup bit the dust prematurely.
Great business minds / executives, do not necessarily know how to build Network Marketing organisations successfully.

If Donald Trump comes out to admit that he personally built a MLM organisation in his early days before he was "The Donald" -- NOW that is something worth considering.

In the end, it really all boils down to timing, focus, ... and a little bit of Luck.

If you are doing ok in your program, build it better.

Mean time on a totally unrelated note, enjoy this "virally" interesting video about "how to sell / market soap" put together by some savvy german marketers...

NBC NEWS: People turn to “network marketing” in soft economy

NBC Video available here.

NBC13 HD’s Chris Pollone’s report from Tuesday’s 10PM News:

" Published: February 17, 2009

BIRMINGHAM, Ala — While her husband was searching for full time work, Jennifer G. of Birmingham decided to make a little money on the side on top of her full-time job.

“I had to find some way to get an extra line of income that worked in the hours I had available to me,” she said.

Since November, Jennifer’s been selling skin care products for Arbonne International.

The company relies on a network of sales consultants who recruit other people to sell the product as well.

The more people a sales consultant recruits, the bigger her potential earnings are.

It might sound like a pyramid scheme to some, but marketing experts say it’s not.

“These are legitimate businesses, though you want to make sure you’re working for a good business, always,” Dr. Betsy Holloway of Samford University’s Brock School of Business said.

It’s called “network marketing” or “multi-level marketing” (MLM) and it’s been around for decades.

Companies like Amway, The Pampered Chef, and Tupperware work under similar arrangements.

Doctor Holloway said direct retail like this has been growing for a decade, and there’s potential for it to get even bigger.

“I think in today’s economy with the layoffs that we have and people desperate to find work, there’s going to be increased demand in these sorts of opportunities.”

Jennifer G. said she had to overcome a preconceived stigma of network marketing and the fear of rejection we all have.

“It’s not easy, but it is simple,” Jennifer said. “You just have to be able to understand it, and be enthusiastic, without being annoying.”

She’s exceeding her expectations just three months after starting.

Experts advise if someone wants you to join a network marketing opportunity, take time to research the company.

They say that can help ensure you’re joining a legitimate business, and not signing up for a risky scheme."

America's ABC News: Direct Sales Can Increase Your At-Home Business Income

As shown on ABC's "Good Morning, America" TV show.

Make More Money by Working From Home
Direct Sales Can Increase Your At-Home Business Income

Sept. 20, 2007 —

Not long ago we featured a segment on starting a direct-sales business to make money from home. The response on the "Good Morning America" message boards and through e-mail proved that many of you were eager to tap into this opportunity, while others were already doing it and looking for ways to grow their businesses.

According to the Direct Selling Association, last year there were more than 15 million direct-sales representatives in this country, which is an increase of more than a million people over the previous year. Many of those people are content earning the median income of $2,500 a year, while others want to generate that figure per month.

One woman I met, Jeanne Wildman, a Longaberger direct seller, says she went from making about $200 a month to generating 10 times that much: a whopping $2,000 a month. Almost 20 percent of all direct sellers are now making more than $20,000 a year, so we know it is indeed possible to reach any financial goal that you set for yourself assuming you're ready to put in the work.

Do something daily. I received e-mails from more than 100 women who are in the $20,000-a-year bracket and each of them say they've reached that milestone because they contribute to their business daily.

They don't just dream about making money, they take action every single day to make that money. It could be contacting customers about re-orders. It may be networking and socializing outside of their homes where they always talk about their business. For some it's as simple as meeting someone new at the hair salon and passing out their business cards. Just about everyone says they're constantly focused on planning future parties because the primary sales forum is getting friends to host parties, where people are invited to socialize and shop. Bottom line: Work isn't just on their minds, it's also in their actions.

This follows the direction once offered by Mary Kay Ash who would motivate her sales force to maintain written lists of the six most important things to do each day. The focus then was on achieving daily accomplishments, just as it is today.

Form a team. Many women who are making in excess of $2,000 a month have found that they're so passionate about direct sales, they want to form teams of other direct-sales representatives. These women become team leaders and they recruit friends to become independent sales reps who report in under them. This means they've now taken on two roles: They continue to sell, and they also motivate and lead their team. By managing a team, you make commission on the sales of your recruits.

Yet, it's not a walk in the park: As a leader, you're now doing your own sales, worrying about your own customers and you're also motivating your team to achieve their sales goals.

In many ways, this mirrors the traditional work force: Every manager knows that his or her direct reports have different motivators. Some people work hard to get a promotion. Some perform just to keep their jobs. Others work hard to make more money. In direct sales, people get into it for different reasons: to save for the holidays, to earn a vacation, to pay for home repairs or to socialize. A great team leader recognizes that she'll have to know what motivates her team and she has to work to meet their needs. It's not just about signing people up to make more commission.

Bridging the gap. For some people, a desire to work at home may just be a temporary need, especially if they are taking care of children or an older parent, but they plan to return to the office one day.

Direct sales can be an ideal way to bridge the gap in employment. Starting a direct-selling business and forming a team not only means good money, but it builds invaluable leadership skills that many people can leverage into corporate careers. This is a way for anyone who wants to be at home to keep their hand in making money and building professional skills. This can make it easier to re-enter the work force later if desired.

It's all about how you spin it. Building a customer base by selling cosmetics or gourmet food where you consistently raise the bar on your financial goals is something that any employer can relate to. Direct sales is also a smart way to maintain contact with a personal and professional network.

Outgoing personality, drive, motivation. Of course direct sales isn't for everyone. For somebody who is shy and introverted and prefers to work alone as opposed to having to get out there and hustle, direct sales is not the right opportunity. If you're not comfortable getting out there and pushing your business, it's very difficult to be successful. You must really want to have the drive, personality and motivation to make it work.

Select the company that's ideal for you. Consider the type of product sold, compensation model and whether or not you want a long-established name (Longaberger, Tastefully Simple, Avon or Mary Kay, for example) or a new entrant to the market (Luxe Jewels, Private Quarters or Baby Crazy, for example).

Robert Kiyosaki's Insights

The above is Robert T. Kiyosaki academically explaining everything in laymen's terms.

... the Employee, Self-employed / Small business owner, Business owner, & full-time Investor...

These youtube videos below are only 4 to 7 minutes long each.
So, it doesn't take up much time at all.
Have a look... and, click through to YouTube to watch all of them in 1 sitting.

R.K. recently co-authored the latest book with "The" Donald Trump -- "Why We Want You to be Rich", where they talk about the network marketing industry as a viable business option.

“Network marketing has proven itself to be a viable and rewarding source of income. There have been some remarkable examples of success, and those successes have been earned through diligence, enthusiasm, and the right product combined with timing.”
-- Why We Want You to be Rich, chapter 27, page 311.

In fact, chapter 27 is a whole section with personal views by both Robert & Donald showing very basic reasons why they recommend network marketing.

(btw, even Warren Buffett owns a network marketing company, The Pampered Chef, which follows in the footsteps of a legendary company called Tupperware.)

As with everything that exist out there in our world, there are opinions for & against the book. Essentially, forget the critics, just read the book and take away the points you find worthy & applicable to your life.
:)

As emphasized in the second video in the playlist, network marketing is essentially a part-time business until such a time where it has grown sizeably.
Experienced networkers & finance/insurance industry veterans may, naturally, choose to take the full-time route.

Tip: When you're truly building residual income... you do not take the "get rich quick" route!

As highlighted in this earlier article, and as will be clearly demonstrated in this upcoming movie, (true) network marketing remains to be one of the most realistic small businesses for a beginner to startup with (with a potential to turn really big).

Latest Documentary Movie

>> NEWS FLASH <<

This is one of the latest documentary movies being shown on selected cinema screens.

It gives realistic insight into the LEGIT side of the network marketing / mlm industry...
and does what movies like "Fahrenheit 9/11" [See this link or this link], & "An Inconvenient Truth" has done to tell the Real Stories as they should be told -- FACTUALLY.

You will see that some folks make it, and some don't -- just like in all other affiliations in life, or line of work.

The Director had personally told us:
"As you know, there are a lot of people out there that think MLMs suck.

Our hope is that we have represented that side and the other side as well!
"The Downline" is the first and only true documentary about the MLM or Network Marketing industry."

The movie also illustrates to the general public what to watch out for in illegal multi-level operations -- the "money-games" or affectionately known as "pyramid schemes".
It was filmed without the intention of making it a marketing tool for the industry as it depicts both successes & failures.

Check out "The Downline"...
