TV cook Jamie Oliver’s direct sales/network marketing organisation – Jamie At Home, seems to have ceased operations a couple of weeks ago.
So far, there seems to be no official announcement, leaving a couple of thousand distributors to speculate.
The only message appearing when accessing the website www.jamieathome.com is
“Unfortunately we have sold through on all products lines”.
Basically as a distributor that puts you out of business. Seems Jamie Oliver ceased operations without any communication to the field.
The business expanded opening up in the USA, about a year ago after being establish in the UK.
Jamie Oliver appointed a husband and wife team, as CEO’s.
According to the website: “Jamie At Home is an eclectic collection of products inspired by Jamie’s relaxed approach to eating, entertaining and enjoying life available primarily through Jamie at Home self employed consultants”.
The USA website is still live, however signing up as a consultant triggers an server error.
Seems like Jamie Oliver left the reps in the dust…

Avon Hires New CFO; Former J. Crew COO
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Avon Products Inc. said Wednesday it hired James Scully away from J. Crew Group Inc. to be its new chief financial officer.
Mr. Scully has been J. Crew’s chief operating officer for nearly two years and with the retailer for a decade. His exit follows the departure of Stuart Haselden, its chief financial officer, earlier this month. Mr. Haselden left to join Lululemon Athletica Inc. as its CFO.
J. Crew is contending with falling shopper traffic at its stores and the retailer recently wrote down the value of its stores by more than half a billion dollars, while leaving its online operations unscathed, an indication of the toll that e-commerce is taking on brick-and-mortar retailing.
“Jim’s departure comes at a time when we are looking at the way our team and business is structured,” a company spokeswoman said in a statement. “Retail has been evolving quickly and we want to ensure we are set up for ’the new world’ as we move forward.”
The spokeswoman said J. Crew had already hired an executive search firm to look for Mr. Scully’s successor. Joan Durkin, its chief accounting officer, will temporarily fill the role of CFO, while it looks for a permanent replacement.
Avon said Mr. Scully, 49, will join the beauty products

by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Javita recently handed out $250,000 in extra bonuses to its Members as a part of its Million Dollar Madness: Fall 2014 Incentive promotion.
Members knew the Million Dollar Madness Initiative would be unlike anything they’d ever seen before, when it began with $10,000 cash handed out randomly to introduce the launch at Javita’s First National Convention in August 2014. News of the Fall 2014 Incentive followed — promising up to $50,000 to new Members and their enrollers, who advanced in rank by December 2014.
About 70 Members took home a share of $250,000 during Javita’s STAR Success Seminars held in New Jersey and Las Vegas in January. Javita’s Million Dollar Madness earners achieved success through their hard work, perseverance, passion and leadership.
“When we came up with the Million Dollar Madness promotion, our goal was to give away up to $1 million in incentives, trips and bonuses before the next National Convention this summer in Las Vegas,” said Javita’s President & CEO Stan Cherelstein. “Our growth is directly related to our Members’ efforts and this is a way that we can give back to those who deserve it the most.”

Avon Finally Sees A Rise After Rumors Of Buyout
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
TheStreet.com reports:
Shares of Avon Products rose 1.25% to $8.08 in morning trading Monday on continued speculation that the beauty products manufacturer could be the target of a buyout.
Dealreporter reported late last week that Avon was in talks with private equity firm TPG Capital about a potential buyout. Dealreporter cited three unidentified sources but said it was unclear how far along the two sides had progressed in the talks or if Avon had hired any advisory firms.
Bloomberg published a report Friday to say that Avon is the cheapest personal-goods company a buyout firm could find right now.
More than 8.5 million shares had changed hands as of 11:01 a.m., compared to the daily average volume of 11,485,400.
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates AVON PRODUCTS as a “sell” with a ratings score of D. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
“We rate AVON PRODUCTS (AVP) a SELL. This is driven by several weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company’s weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its generally high debt management risk, disappointing return on equity and generally disappointing historical performance in

Home Party Marketing Making A Huge Comeback
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Suzanne Sproul, writer for Inland Valley Daily Bulletin shared a heartwarming article on the rise … or return of home party marketing:
In the 1950s, Brownie Wise started throwing parties. But they weren’t just like any party. Wise’s parties featured bonus gifts like speedboats and trips to Florida, sparking a revolutionary sales method coined party-plan marketing. She was the mother of Tupperware parties — and her method is making a comeback.
The depth and breadth of products one can buy while sitting on the living room couch with a few friends is virtually limitless. More than six decades after the first Tupperware party, people are now hosting parties where guests can check out personal self-defense items (Damsel in Defense) and tea collections (Zendigo Teas) to nail polish (Jamberry Nails) and pet products (pawTree).
In a time when technology can seem overwhelming to many, the personal touch of the home party is not only fun, but fills a need for personal selling and customer service, said Deb Bixler, creator of the Virginia-based Cash Flow Show, a service-based business model.
“The No. 1 commodity in the 21st century is fun,” she said. “When a home party-plan consultant creates a fun environment it becomes a way for

It says something about a company when former distributers return. That’s the case with former Vemma Affiliates and top network marketing professionals Tyler and Mimi Ford, who proudly announced recently that they have teamed back up with Vemma after a nearly four-year absence.
“Vemma, the product, is an awesome product and the foundation for optimal health and peak performance. It was a tough decision to leave, but an easy decision to come home. There’s a lot to Vemma that other companies can’t duplicate; its leadership, its innovation, but most of all, its culture,” say Mimi and Tyler.
The Fords have always been BIG believers in liquid supplementation. Now, they are looking forward to reaping the nutritional benefits of the product, while creating a solid, home-based business.
Not only does Vemma have a one-of-a-kind liquid nutritional supplement, but Mimi and Tyler are excited about Verve® energy drinks, Bod•? ® and the new Bod•? Pro™ geared towards weight management, which was a big attraction for the Ford’s team back up with Vemma.
The move back to Vemma is perfect timing for Tyler and Mimi because Vemma is launching and shipping the new Bod•? Build™ this week, which is a delicious, ready-to-drink meal replacement shake with 25 grams
