The Pyramid
Selling Myth and
GEM Lifestyle
Sometimes people mistakenly confuse
network marketing and GEM Lifestyle with a pyramid scheme.
A pyramid
scheme is a non-sustainable business
model that involves the exchange of money primarily for
enrolling other people into the scheme where there is no
product or service being
delivered.
The unethical
behavior of some network marketing companies has added to
the misunderstanding and skepticism towards network
marketing. This is why it is very important that people do their due
diligence in checking out a network marketing business
opportunity.
Some very well known
fortune 500 multi-billion dollar global companies have
chosen network marketing as a way to distribute their
goods and services and the now includes GEM
lifestyle.
These also include Virgin, Tiscali, Avon, Anne Summers,
Herbalife, Coca Cola, Motorola & and
Xerox. In
2007 global soccer icon David Beckham signed for LA
Galaxy whose main sponsor is Herbalife, a multi billion
dollar global nutrition network marketing
company.
Naturally these global
giants would not want to harm their brand names in anyway by
involving themselves in a product distribution model which
would do that. Network Marketing is not a pyramid scheme, it is
a business model for distributing products and
services.
The Direct Selling
Association forecasts that by 2010 networking companies
will produce over $700 billion in revenue with a major
growth in the industry resulting from the explosive
growth of the internet (1.3 Billion users in
2007).
With 21st century
digital marketing, a network marketing company can now
distribute its products or services to the whole globe
within 2-3 years if their product or service is an info
product or an online subscription internet service.
Previously it would have taken 20-30 years to distribute
tangible products such as nutrition or skincare
products.
Why do companies choose Network Marketing to distribute their
products or services?
Below the 2
diagrams show the standard and network marketing models
for distribution of goods and services.
Diagram
1
As you can see
in
diagram 1 the company can get the product to the
consumer faster and with less costs.
They save on the conventional costs of
Marketing, Advertising, PR &
Distribution.
Diagram
2
As you can see indiagram
2 through
standard distribution, there will be a mark-up in price at the
Wholesale Distribution stage, again at the Regional
Distribution stage and again at the Retail Distribution
stage.
This must happen in order for all these
functions to operate profitably. The result is a higher price
for the consumer and less profit for the
company.
