The Mirage of Multilevel Marketing
Article by Stephen Barrett, MD, on bogus health products.
||| t The Mirage of Multilevel Marketing Stephen Barrett, M.D
Multilevel marketing (also called network marketing) is a form of direct sales in which independent distributors sell products, usually in their customers' home or by telephone
In July 1999, the National Association of Attorneys General announced that complaints about multilevel marketing and pyramid schemes were tenth on their list of consumer complaints
Amway's 1998 "Business Review" tabulates figures gathered from April 1994 through March 1995 from distributors who attempted to make a retail sale, presented the Sales and Marketing Plan, received bonus money, or attended a company or distributor meeting in the month surveyed
The report also notes that "approximately 41% of all distributors of record were found to be active." Dubious Health Claims More than a hundred multilevel companies are marketing health-related products
Dubious Promotions During the past 15 years, I have collected information on more than 100 multilevel companies marketing health products
Here are some examples of improper marketing activities: Body Wise International, of Carlsbad, California, markets "fitness" products and weight-management products

What's Wrong With Multi-Level Marketing? a.k.a
'Probably a multi-level marketing (MLM) organization, ' you think
Marketing innovations are not rare in the modern world, as evidenced by the success of Wal-Mart, which found a more efficient and profitable way to distribute goods and services than the status quo, providing lasting value to stockholders, employees, distributors, and consumers
But how exactly does this happen, and must it always? Doomed by Design? The first question is this: Is any company choosing this marketing strategy destined to fail, to degenerate into an exploitative venture, regardless of how good the product is? To see this clearly we must go through an, otherwise, obvious and elementary discussion of how any business must be careful not to overhire, overextend, or oversupply a market
the Real World The basic question that needs to be asked is this: If this product or service is so great, then why isn't it being sold through the customary marketing system that has served human society for thousands of years? Why does it need to resort to a 'special marketing' scheme like an MLM? Why does everyone need to be so inexperienced at marketing this! Is the product just a thin cover for what is really a pyramid scheme of exploiting others? But more on that later
