Demand For Herbalife Product Grows Despite Naysayers

 
Bidnessetc.com conducted a survey and the results are promising. They explain below: 
Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE:HLF) stock has dropped 51.18% year-to-date (YTD), due to weaker-than-expected financial results for its past two quarters and rising concerns of the company running a pyramid scheme.
To get some insight into the demand for Herbalife’s products and the company’s business model, Bidness Etc conducted a survey of Herbalife’s distributors.
The results of our survey support the argument that real demand for Herbalife’s products exists, distributors remain largely satisfied with the company, international regions like South Africa remain strong drivers of growth for the company, and company sales are continuing to grow in both developed and developing markets.
The survey was conducted from December 16 — December 19, on 26 Herbalife distributors from the US and 25 distributors from international markets, including China, South Africa, Germany, the Middle East, and India.
After analyzing the survey results, we have shortlisted seven eminent themes for Herbalife Ltd., which are as follows:

The Healthy Home Company Works Toward Saving Lives Of Law Enforcement

 
The Healthy Home Company has a mission to make the home a safer place to raise families. In-Vest USA is dedicated to supporting our communities by helping protect those who protect us – our first responders. Today, these two organizations have joined forces to save the lives of law enforcement officers by providing them with body armor through In-Vest’s USA’s Bless the Vest campaign to avoid future incidents like the tragic shootings that happened this past week in New York.
In-Vest USA’s Bless the Vest campaign provides law enforcement officers with protective body armor vests to wear while on duty protecting our families, communities and homeland. While many believe that officers are provided a vest as part of their equipment, this is far from the truth.
Facts: 

An officer not wearing a body armor vest is 14 times more likely to be killed by a firearm than an officer wearing a vest.
40% of officers (almost 400,000) do not have a protective vest.
Of those who do have a protective vest to wear on duty, nearly 20% of those vests do not fit properly. A properly fitting vest can mean the difference between life and death.
Body armor vests must be replaced every 5 years and cost around

To help kids begin their own journey to a healthier lifestyle, ViSalus, Inc. honored National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month this past September with a special double-donations initiative through their PROJECT 10™ Kids charity program. This double-donation incentive generated more than 65,000 kids meals and snacks donated to those in need.
PROJECT 10 Kids provides the Vi Community an opportunity to share the benefits of achieving a healthier weight with the next generation.

Struggles In Russia Affect Avon – Which Account for Up to 6% Of Sales

 
Russia’s currency crisis is not just Vladimir Putin’s problem, it’s also the Avon Lady’s.
BMO downgraded Avon Products on Tuesday to “underperform” from “market perform” on concerns the falling ruble will destabilize the region, seriously hurting door-to-door sales in Eastern Europe.
Russia alone accounts for 5 to 6 percent of Avon’s sales, BMO estimates. Central and Eastern Europe hold 12 to 14 percent of Avon’s sales, according to the company.
“Avon needs to raise prices significantly to offset currency weakness at a time when consumers, in the midst of a credit crunch, have less money to spend,” analyst Connie Maneaty wrote in the report.
BMO lowered its target price to $7 from $10 on the assumption that Avon will trade at 12 times its 2015 earnings estimate. Avon shares opened slightly lower Tuesday at $9.31.

“Direct selling can be an income-generating opportunity in difficult economic conditions, and as it has done in the past, Avon may step up recruiting,” Maneaty wrote. “But there are risks.”

It’s been a rough month for Avon investors. Last Thursday, it agreed to pay $135 million to settle criminal and civil charges relating to a bribery scandal in China.

Lia Sophia Creating Problems As Company Shuts Down

 
Earlier this month, Lia Sophia abruptly announced that they would be closing their doors. Up until that moment they had been signing individuals up to be distributors. We were one of the first to break the story about the Lia Sophia announcement.
Since the announcement Lia Sophia has posted all of their items at clearance rates. Unfortunately, customers are fuming. The Lia Sophia page is riddled with angry customers who have waited past the quoted shipping time. Customer service is practically non-existant as no phone calls are being answered or returned, emails are going ignored, and a large percentage of customers are still waiting on Christmas orders placed three weeks ago, even though tomorrow is Christmas eve. 
The closure and post handling of the companies collapse is, unfortunately, leaving a bad taste in the mouths of individuals for an industry that’s already under a lot of scrutiny. There’s very little accountability in said events, leaving customers and distributors very little control over the outcome of their own business. 
Messages to Lia Sophia for a statement have also been ignored by this publication. Posts on their Facebook advertise discounted items and have a ‘cheery’ tone, but comments under the posts sing a different tune.
