Market America to show off upgrades

Market America Inc. plans to show off its one-stop shopping portal at its annual convention Aug. 1 to 5.

Shoppers who visit Market America online can now put all their purchases into a single shopping cart instead of completing multiple transactions during on trip. And new software lets users search to compare all the products within a category and buy products from mutliple vendors at one time.

The Greensboro-based Internet marketing and sales company also has partnered with legalzoom.com to help customers prepare and manage legal documents online.

Market America's sold-out 11th annual convention will take place at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex and include product demonstrations, advice from industry experts and talks about the company's best-selling products.

Market America has more than 3 million customers and 150,000 distributors worldwide. The company, which employs more than 400 people worldwide, has generated more than $2.4 billion in retail sales.

Please call Market America what it really is. The folks over on Pleasant Ridge Rd. like to throw around terms like "Internet Marketing" but what they really are is Multi-Level Marketing. Their "independent distributors" make money off the recruitment of others.

Of the 15,000 that come to their convention, MAYBE 2% of them are actually making any money. Most of the money goes into the Ridingers' pockets so they can pay for their Miami Beach Mansion or their daughter's $500K birthday parties.

Does Amway by any other name still smell the same?

The only true difference between Market America and a common street thug is that the thug is at least honest about what he wants.

I disagree with Herm however, I bet less than 2% make money and thats only because they sell their tickets to the conventions at a profit.
