The Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) and the Direct Selling Association of Singapore (DSAS) on Thursday (Jan 8) announced the launch of their joint accreditation scheme, and more than 10 direct selling businesses have already been accredited.
Direct selling is a practice in which products are sold from no fixed location.
With the launch of the CaseTrust-DSAS Joint Accreditation Scheme, consumers can expect the following:

A cooling off period of seven working days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays), during which consumers may seek full refund of payment made
An order form at the time of sale, with clear and accurate contact details of the direct seller
A well-defined complaint mechanism put in place by the business to address disputes

Besides these, accredited businesses are governed by DSAS’ Code of Ethics, which ensures all direct sellers within their distribution system practice responsible and ethical selling, the press release stated.
Companies must also comply with regulations that regular businesses are bound by, such as the Lemon Law, and detail the terms and conditions of any warranties and/or guarantees clearly.
These terms are on top of DSAS membership criteria, which require companies to at least be registered for a year with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority, undergo a six-month

Dubli Has Paid $1 Million Sign Up Bonus For A Top Leader

by Ted Nuyten • January 9, 2015 • 0 Comments

According to well informed sources, Dubli has paid $1 million sign up bonus in cash or shares for a top leader.
It brings up the insider discussion whether or not this is ethical, as team members of that paid leader will most likely not get the same deal.
Kevin Thompson, the MLM attorney stated on his Facebook page:
“I have been dancing around this issue for 4 months. I felt like openly talking about it would somehow get me into trouble for ruining a fun party.
But enough is enough, and here’s the truth: the practice of providing people with extra incentives ON TOP OF THE PAY PLAN without disclosure…it’s fraud.
And it needs to stop. It’s created a recruiting frenzy devoid of honor.
As it turns out, the majority of network marketing companies refuse to cut these sorts of deals”.

by Nicole Dunkley • January 8, 2015 • 0 Comments

When Zija International launched one of their newest product divisions, Améo Essential Oils, they made a commitment to provide the highest-quality essential oils on the market today.
They have been able to do this through applied scientific advancement. Zija’s Vice President of Research and Development, Dr. Joshua Plant, says, “While the examination of essential oils are improving, studying their interrelationships and synergies has not been an applied science. Améo Essential Oils have committed itself to delivering the best that nature has to offer through applied scientific advancement.”
Dr. Plant and his team of researchers recently conducted an in-depth analysis of 31 different Améo Essential Oils in what is called a CaCo-2 Assay. CaCo-2 is a vetted mechanism that determines the bioavailability (the amount of the substance entering the body’s cells) of specific constituents across the intestinal track; it can also be used to measure the absorbability of nutrients in different environments.
“In the process of conducting this assay on Améo Essential Oils we made several important and exciting discoveries. For example, we found that there is a subset of constituents in Améo Essential Oils that we now refer to as SuperCarriers,” says Dr. Plant. “They share a unique characteristic that intestinal cells actively

Avon’s Downtrend Continues And Hits 52 Week Low

by Tina Williams • January 8, 2015 • 0 Comments

Share price of Avon Products Inc. has been witnessing a downtrend for about over a year as the company has lost its luster due to continuous loss of active representatives, declining volume, unfavorable foreign currency translations and reduced margins in mature markets like North America. Consequently, shares of this New York-based global beauty company hit a new 52-week low of $8.54 yesterday, before closing trade at $8.61. Moreover, the stock has tumbled about 49.6% year over year.
The aforementioned factors have led Avon to produce distressed operating results over the past few quarters. Further, weakness in the emerging markets as well as regulatory and cash flow issues risking dividend are the other negatives.
Additionally, over the last four years, Avon has witnessed a declining revenue trend in North America, especially in the U.S., mainly due to a decrease in active representatives, partly offset by large average order. Total revenue from this region has declined considerably from about $2,293.4 million in 2009 to nearly $1,458.2 million in 2013. Further, revenues from this region have also declined so far in fiscal 2014, reporting an 8% fall in the third quarter.
