by  •  • 0 Comments

 
LifeVantage Corporation recently reported financial results for its second quarter and six months ended December 31, 2014.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2015 Highlights:

Revenue was $48 million compared to $52 million in the prior year period;
Revenue, excluding Japan, increased by 1.6% compared to the prior year period;
Operating income was $3.1 million, compared to $5.2 million in the prior year period;
Repurchased $4.6 million or 3.5 million shares; and
Opened corporate office in Hong Kong.

Dave S. Manovich, Executive Vice Chairman of LifeVantage stated, “We do not believe the overall second quarter results reflect the strength of our distribution network or our expanded, scientifically-validated product line. In order to improve upon these results and return to meaningful top line growth and reignite growth and enthusiasm in our Company we recently implemented executive changes within our management team.”
“During the second quarter, we achieved growth in several markets, including our core Americas market, but this was offset by lower sales primarily in Japan. We are disappointed that pressures in the Japan market continue to impact our overall performance and know we can do better in this market as proven by previous results. We are intensely focused on identifying and implementing corrective actions designed to stabilize our efforts in Japan

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Amway Corp. announced sales of $10.8 billion for 2014, a 10 percent decline that company officials blamed on lower revenues in China and fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates. 
“While 2014 revenues are lower than 2013, the company continues to exhibit strong long-term growth,” the company said in an announcement released Wednesday, Feb. 4.
“Amway has grown by 68 percent in the last decade and achieved sales growth in 13 of the last 15 years,” the company said. “In China, results have been strong as well – with growth rates over the past five and 10 years of 27 percent and 45 percent, respectively.”
Privately held Amway does not release its sales figures by country, but China is generally regarded as its largest market.
Considered the world’s largest direct sales company, Amway sells nutrition, cosmetics, home care, and durable products through a global multi-level marketing system that includes more than 3 million independent distributors.
Amway employs more than 20,000 worldwide and 4,000 near its Ada headquarters and at its hotel properties in downtown Grand Rapids.

Natura Cosmetics Gets A Sustainability Makeover

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Natura Cosmeticos has long been considered a leader in sustainability, known for materials and marketing innovations that aim to reflect its tagline of “well being/being well.”  The Brazilian cosmetics maker has been recognized by organizations such as Corporate Knights, the U.N. Environmental Program, SustainAbility and the Boston Consulting Group.
For instance, as a founding member of the Union for Bioethical Trade, Natura has promised to source ingredients sustainably without harming biodiversity, including getting one-third of its raw materials from the Amazon.
The company is currently working on Programa Amazonia, a plan to inaugurate its Ecoparque — a 1.7-million-square-meter closed-cycle industrial complex in the Amazon region — in March. The company hopes to eliminate waste and guarantee a clean destination for biproducts from Amazonian fruits, oils and berries that are used to produce its cosmetics. The plan also will involve the application of innovations from process and product research. 

“For example, we press the seeds from a certain palm tree or passion fruit and the rest is discarded,” said Renata Puchala, manager of Natura’s Amazonia Program. “At the other end, after we process the seeds, there is natural waste that needs a proper destination to close the full cycle.”

According to Puchala, Natura is in talks with other companies to form partnerships in

New Incentives Inspire Talk Fusion Russian Team For 2015

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Blue Diamond Artur Kachanov is a powerhouse of activity and motivation. He was already refocused on his Talk Fusion business for the start of 2015. But when Talk Fusion released their rebranded, redesigned Talk Fusion CONNECT video communication products and added even more incentives to their Instant Pay Compensation Plan, Artur’s excitement went off the chart—and he’s passing that energy along to his team of Associates.
“Talk Fusion has surpassed my expectations!” Artur says. “We already had a twice-a-year Dream Getaway incentive on the island of Maui, Hawaii and we could receive $600 a month to pay for the lease or purchase of our own C-class Mercedes-Benz. But now Talk Fusion will also buy us a new Mercedes-Benz when we reach a certain qualification. We can qualify for a Rolex watch, and receive diamond rings when we reach a certain milestone in lifetime earnings!”
As impressed as Artur was with new incentives and rewards, the appeal of Talk Fusion’s redesigned video products, including the release of the brand-new CONNECT Video Chat, made it obvious that the timing is perfect for the Talk Fusion opportunity.
“As the leader of a Russian-speaking team, I can tell people with 100% certainty that our products are essential!
