BestLife Worldwide Creates A Strategic Alliance With DECENTRA

Steve Moretta, CEO of BestLife Worldwide, is now a legend in the network marketing industry with 30 years of experience. He founded his own health and wellness company, Best Life, 14 years ago.
Best Life and Decentra will join forces in a strategic alliance that will enable Best Life members to also benefit from Decentra’s digital services.
Steve Moretta started out very young, when he was just 17 years old. All the experience he lacked, he received it in the following years the hard way.
“I learned in the school of hard knocks. I was in two companies: in the first one, I did very badly, but I learned a lot about the fundamentals and the necessary disciplines; in the second one, I achieved the highest rank in record time with an organisation in more than 22 countries and more than 30,000 members in my network.
The American dream became a reality for me because of this industry”.
Another lesson was learned when Steve lost his wallet in a taxi while attending a convention outside his home country: he found himself selling retail products door-to-door and on the street in order to pay for a hotel, food for several days and a ticket home.

LG Household Buys Avon Japan For $96 Million

South Korea’s LG Household & Health Care will purchase Tokyo-based cosmetics seller Avon Products for 10.5 billion yen ($96.3 million), marking its fourth acquisition in Japan.
Avon Japan, an offshoot of the American direct sales beauty company, will become a wholly owned subsidiary of LG Household under plans announced on Tuesday. The LG group’s health and beauty arm is expanding its distribution network in the still-vibrant Japanese cosmetics market.
LG Household’s first-quarter operating profit climbed 9% on the year to a record 283 billion won ($262 million) in results released on Tuesday. Sales for the three months ended March rose 7% to 1.65 trillion won.
Despite a slow recovery in Chinese tourists visiting South Korea, demand for high-end products was strong at home and abroad, the company said.
Avon Japan was sold to an affiliate of TPG Capital in 2010. Fellow U.S. investment firm Keystone Partners acquired it in 2016.
LG Household & Health Care is one of the largest household goods and cosmetics manufacturers in South Korea and ranks second in cosmetics in the country after AmorePacific Group. The company’s cosmetics sales via duty-free shops have increased steadily due to a growing number of visitors from abroad. In addition, it has recently been active in mergers and acquisitions
