DubLi announced on April 21st that it will not re-elect principal board members, Blas Moros (former Chairman of the Board), Lester Rosenkrantz, and David Sasnett. This comes as a big surprise to the public as these members were not only primary board members and very present in the company’s day-to-day actions, but this move also leaves Michael Hansen, CEO, the sole member.
A reason as to the change has not been disclosed. Everything else at this point would be speculation. This, however, comes on the heels as several top distributors have left the company in recent weeks.

Avon Sales Fall From $3 Billion To $1.2 Billion In Less Than 5 Years
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
In less than 5 years, Avon has lost nearly half of its revenue, fallen off of the S&P 500, left the DSA, and lost 40% of the value of its stock. One has to wonder what other direct-selling companies can learn from this. In an article in the Wall Street Journal, they explore the reasons why:
Everyone seems to know who the Avon lady is—except for Avon.
The company is struggling with its identity. It remains heavily entrenched in the U.S., even though most of its business is abroad. It is one of the biggest direct sellers of beauty products and relies heavily on personal relationships, but it lagged behind in developing an online strategy and hasn’t capitalized on the opportunities of social media. And while its focus is beauty, its representatives are busy

Tupperware Sales Fell To $582 million From $663 million In Q1
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Tupperware Brands Corp. posted a soft current-quarter outlook Tuesday, as first-quarter sales fell 12%, primarily because of the strong dollar.
Still, revenue results beat Wall Street expectations.
For the second quarter, Tupperware said it expected to report $1.14 to $1.19 a share in profit, below analysts’ expectations of $1.23 a share. It also expects sales to be down 11% to 13%. Analysts had expected an 11% drop.
The company’s results continued to rely heavily on sales in emerging markets. For a while, Tupperware had enjoyed double-digit sales growth in those markets, although recently they had slowed to a high single-digit rate.
Chief Executive Rick Goings highlighted developing markets like Argentina, Brazil and China, which contributed to sales growth despite overall “challenged markets.”
