Avon Finally Sees A Rise After Rumors Of Buyout

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
TheStreet.com reports: 
Shares of Avon Products rose 1.25% to $8.08 in morning trading Monday on continued speculation that the beauty products manufacturer could be the target of a buyout.
Dealreporter reported late last week that Avon was in talks with private equity firm TPG Capital about a potential buyout. Dealreporter cited three unidentified sources but said it was unclear how far along the two sides had progressed in the talks or if Avon had hired any advisory firms.
Bloomberg published a report Friday to say that Avon is the cheapest personal-goods company a buyout firm could find right now.
More than 8.5 million shares had changed hands as of 11:01 a.m., compared to the daily average volume of 11,485,400.
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates AVON PRODUCTS as a “sell” with a ratings score of D. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:

“We rate AVON PRODUCTS (AVP) a SELL. This is driven by several weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company’s weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its generally high debt management risk, disappointing return on equity and generally disappointing historical performance in

Home Party Marketing Making A Huge Comeback

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Suzanne Sproul, writer for Inland Valley Daily Bulletin shared a heartwarming article on the rise … or return of home party marketing: 
In the 1950s, Brownie Wise started throwing parties. But they weren’t just like any party. Wise’s parties featured bonus gifts like speedboats and trips to Florida, sparking a revolutionary sales method coined party-plan marketing. She was the mother of Tupperware parties — and her method is making a comeback.
The depth and breadth of products one can buy while sitting on the living room couch with a few friends is virtually limitless. More than six decades after the first Tupperware party, people are now hosting parties where guests can check out personal self-defense items (Damsel in Defense) and tea collections (Zendigo Teas) to nail polish (Jamberry Nails) and pet products (pawTree).
In a time when technology can seem overwhelming to many, the personal touch of the home party is not only fun, but fills a need for personal selling and customer service, said Deb Bixler, creator of the Virginia-based Cash Flow Show, a service-based business model.

“The No. 1 commodity in the 21st century is fun,” she said. “When a home party-plan consultant creates a fun environment it becomes a way for

It says something about a company when former distributers return. That’s the case with former Vemma Affiliates and top network marketing professionals Tyler and Mimi Ford, who proudly announced recently that they have teamed back up with Vemma after a nearly four-year absence.
“Vemma, the product, is an awesome product and the foundation for optimal health and peak performance. It was a tough decision to leave, but an easy decision to come home. There’s a lot to Vemma that other companies can’t duplicate; its leadership, its innovation, but most of all, its culture,” say Mimi and Tyler.
The Fords have always been BIG believers in liquid supplementation. Now, they are looking forward to reaping the nutritional benefits of the product, while creating a solid, home-based business.
Not only does Vemma have a one-of-a-kind liquid nutritional supplement, but Mimi and Tyler are excited about Verve® energy drinks, Bod•? ® and the new Bod•? Pro™ geared towards weight management, which was a big attraction for the Ford’s team back up with Vemma.

Drink Wine, Make Money? The Latest House Party Trend

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
According to an article in the BBC Blog, the latest trend in Home parties is Wine selling, and a number of direct selling companies are jumping in.
Count me in as a customer
The BBC reports:
Out of the way Avon and Pampered Chef. Wine is the newest excuse to throw a party, sell things to your friends and neighbours — and make a little money. 
“I tried selling cosmetics and nutritional products, but couldn’t make a go of it,” said Diane Nozik, a 35-year-old mother of two married to an active-duty sailor in the US Navy. Then Nozik had a flash of inspiration after her husband took her to a number of wine tastings “and I really enjoyed them.”
Since she had wanted to make a little extra money, without the hassle of storing boxes of goods, Nozik had found the perfect solution.
“What I wanted at the beginning was just a product. I didn’t want to have to have an inventory. I didn’t want to have to deliver it. I didn’t want to have to deal with bounced checks,” said Nozik, who now earns more than six figures from her work for WineShop at Home. “I just wanted something that people would like.
