Younique, a cosmetics direct sales company dedicated to uplifting, empowering and validating women everywhere, received the Direct Selling Management Association’s (DSMA) “Growth” award in a ceremony held November 6, 2014.
Younique’s year-over-year sales growth of 5,145% (from October 2013 to October 2014) was enough to secure the honors.
Younique cofounder Melanie Huscroft received the award and expressed her gratitude to the DSMA and to Younique Presenters around the world who are making this all possible. “It’s beyond words for me to express how happy I am to see this company’s mission expand its reach. And, to me, that’s exactly what this Growth award means; our collective success is helping spread our mission to uplift, empower and validate women.”
The “Growth” award is one of six awards that the DSMA of Utah evaluates and awards to deserving companies. The Utah DSMA was founded in 2005 to create and maintain collaboration among Utah-based, direct selling companies, and related businesses and organizations.
Another indicator that Younique is on a path to meaningful growth was its reaching and surpassing the significant 100,000 Presenter (independent sales representative) milestone.
