Motives & MA World Conference 2010 Update
Funny how I keep posting everything to Facebook & Twitter and thinking of lengthy blog posts but not even making drafts that I can publish whenever I finalize the editing. This year I plan to write more because it really does help me track my progress and ideas for business and personal growth.
I partnered with a very talented beauty professional last month that has kept the winter quite busy. We've done several retail events already and have major plans to present Motives by Loren Ridinger Cosmetics to the network of salons and freelancers she knows. I have been organizing and strategizing this for the last year! So now as team we can bring the line into the Long Island beauty marketplace which is a feat in itself!!! The Long Island area has been an ongoing challenge for the company in general. And I am glad to say that the rebranding of Motives will finally make it appealing to the beautyscape of salon and spa owners and help the beauty industry empower itself to get through the recession.
Next week is the much anticipated 2010 World Conference in Miami where about 20,000 Market America distributors will get a whirlwind of trainings and company updates. There have already been pre-event trainings for the Internet Shopping niche that gave the scoop to some key leaders on how to train the field for marketing the webportal and the "Get Paid To Shop" program. I can't wait to hear what they are doing next! I know Social Media is a new addition to our site with "ma Connect" an interface for the top social networks that is capable of giving the distributor cutting edge technology for sales and prospecting new entrepreneurs. Can't wait to learn more about this one!
MA already released it's killer app for the iPhone and soon will have WAP for Blackberries, Droids and the rest of the smart phones. I don't have any of those models yet but I had my son download it to his iPhone and even he was impressed. I hear it's in a beginning stage so it's not fully functional but with Microsoft FAST powering the search it's just a matter of the technology and programming being completed because MA does tend to get a head of itself that way. They get an idea and want it launched at the next major event but it's not quite ready because of the complexity of it. I love that and know it will just set the company way ahead of anyone else.
In the past the direct sales industry how competition tried to copy the MA webportal and affiliate store program but have failed to some degree. The 3 most popular ideas I know of were from Quixtar (which went back to being Amway), ShopToEarn and the most recent Blast Off Network powered by Pre-Paid Legal. There's nothing wrong with that and I'm sure affiliates can make plenty of sales from the legion of distributors from those companies but the limitations and misrepresentations are the problem....so I hear. Even Bing's cash back has major drawbacks and it can't offer leverage with a network of people that creates any kind of residual income potential or any compensation for referring a friend. I believe that MA"s investment in technology is what keeps it strides ahead of any other company, webportal or opportunity and is perfect for the average entrepreneur looking for a turn-key model.
So I anticipate many innovative new releases and updates for our company to utilize. The company blog has already launched a redesign and now it looks really professional with a great photo of the corporate headquarters in Greensboro. I asked all the techs over the years for a company blog and I am so glad to see it evolve into a location for information, public relations and announcements. They even monetized it with Google's Adsense which is something that MA also added to the portal. And if my understanding is correct, that Adsense click revenue created an additional income that even customers will accrue into some form of compensation, most likely cash!
Okay, back to work on my Motives salon flipbook. I downloaded the Press Release on MotivesCosmetics.com and selectively printed off pages, especially the first 3 about Loren, Motives & the rebranding of the line and put them in the branded briefcase in sheet protectors. I also included a few beauty blog stories along with our company magazine promos for the beauty lines. There are also some pages about past celebrity studded events that MA or the Ridingers participated in that are in there too. Plus there's a whole section of how Motives can benefit a salon/beauty professional because the goal is to get them to see the backend income along with the typical retail profit.
Motives & MA offer a unique opportunity for everyone to create more wealth with their existing business. My team has a few Motives Day of Beauty events scheduled for the coming weeks at LI salons and the owners already want to see the compensation so that they understand the full potential of partnering with our company business model. I believe that 2010 is the year for MA on Long Island!!
That's all for now....
PS... Happy Blog Anniversary!!! I just realized after the post that my blog is 4yrs and 10days old!!!
