MLM vs. Consumer Direct Marketing Business Opportunities

We've all seen them before - businesses that promise great wealth and prosperity with a minimal amount of effort. Did you know that only 1 out of every 1,000 home-based businesses last longer than 5 years? So what REALLY sets all these companies apart, and which method has the least risk for everyone?

First, let's take a look at a way of marketing that has gotten SO popular (and many times out-of-hand) - Multi-Level Marketing. When you think of multi-level marketing, you may think of overbearing sales people who begin by bothering their family and friends, and resort to manipulating others into buying lots of inventory. You might also imagine a get-rich-quick scheme with promises of great wealth through very little work. Finally, you may envision business schemes that lack a compelling product, but hype up the promise of big incomes.

Now, let's take a look at what a few companies are turning to - Consumer Direct Marketing. What's the big difference? Well, Consumer Direct Marketing typically redirects the funds that would typically be used for advertising, multiple shipping costs, various middlemen, and several distribution channels into spending for higher quality ingredients, product innovations, and profit sharing with customers. The result of this is a new and interesting method of delivering quality, low-cost products to families around the world - and then SHARING THE INCOME with those families.

The companies that are truly heads and tails above the rest are all turning their attentions to the important aspects of Consumer Direct Marketing. The true result is less risk for the business-builder as well as the consumer, because there are no inventories to buy, no financial risks, and no hype. EVERYONE, people referring the products, and customers alike, only buy what they need each month. And of course, anyone who refers someone else earns a commission from the purchases of the customers they refer.

Maybe the neatest thing about this almost "laid-back" method is that the majority of customers buy each month without any interest in receiving commissions, and when you have customers that really love the products and aren't pressured from the vast majority of MLM companies out there, that means true residual income - income that you'll receive the rest of your life - your retirement, or your children's college education!

If you're interested in a 20-year-old Consumer Direct Marketing company that might be a great opportunity for you and your family, please don't hesitate to contact me, and I'd be happy to share my experiences with you.
