There is no doubt Market America and Shop.com Powered by Market America are at the right place at the right time, with the right opportunity. We are leading the parade! The most efficient use of your time right now is getting people to World Conference in Miami to show them how they can leverage and learn about exactly what is in the following article.

Let me ask you—what do you do with material like this? You should be sending it to select people followed by a phone call. It should be posted on your MaNetwork, Facebook, and Twitter pages. You should be sharing it with your partners – especially the ones that need stimulating.

If you are doing nothing with it, you are not doing the DAILY RESULT PRODUCING ACTIVITIES and are asleep at the wheel! Check out this article that appeared in Time Magazine last week related to the growth of e-tailing – and come to World Conference to learn about the latest features and technology of SHOP.COM!

“Click To Buy”

Traipsing around crowded shopping malls to fulfill loved ones' wishes can bring out our inner Grinches. No wonder more and more shoppers are forgoing long lines at packed stores to shop from home instead.

Online holiday sales rose 15% vs. last year, compared with only 4% for brick-and-mortar stores. Consumers are now doing a third of their holiday shopping online, according to an International Council of Shopping Centers poll.

The rush into e-tail is crushing traditional outlets like Sears, which announced in late December it would close up to 120 stores because of disappointing holiday sales. The key to success in the e-tail race? Being a catchall for customer needs. Cybersavvy firms like Amazon, which lives and breathes the Web, are cleaning up on one-stop shopping.

U.S. online holiday sales

2006 $24.6 billion

2011 $35.3 billion

Please take a moment to read the following PDF, containing a very interesting article from SUCCESS Magazine, which discusses the different ways reality stars have leveraged their personas to create successful branding initiatives.

This is an excellent presentation tool, and a great article that really validates the assertion that we are moving in the right direction with the Celebrity Ambassador program and MeetOn.com. These are powerful tools and marketing channels, not only unto themselves as self-sustaining enterprises but as collaborating tools with Shop.com and Market America.

This is excellent and relevant documentation and validation why the Celebrity Ambassador program and MeetOn.com makes so much sense!

Activist. Icon. Showman. Champion. People have called Muhammad Ali many things over the course of his remarkable lifetime. Say what you will about the man, but Ali had the uncanny ability to stand out in a crowd and to stand up for what he believed in. I, like so many Americans, grew up idolizing Ali.

Ali exuded the confidence and swagger befitting of a world champion, and had a style and flair about him that made him stand alone. His unique rope-a-dope fighting style went against the grain, and helped make him the icon he is today. His style (and mouth) made him famous, but it was his amazing work ethic and determination that made him a true champion.

Today marks the 70th birthday for “The Greatest” – and I wish him the best. Take a look at a few of Ali’s quotes – I hope you find them to be inspiring!

“I hated every minute of training, but I said, "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion."

“He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”

“It's lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.”

“Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.”

“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.”

Today, people across this great nation are honoring the civil rights hero who helped shape our society, and ushered in an era of positive change; Martin Luther King, Jr.  As we take time to consider the significant impact Martin Luther King, Jr. made on America and humanity as a whole, I think it’s worth discussing the concept which was of critical importance for this extraordinary man: equality.

MLK believed in a world where individuals were treated equally because he understood the American Dream was meant to be an ideal that every man and woman could aspire to - regardless of race, religion, or any other factor.

Wow! It just keeps coming and coming! La La Anthony partnering with Loren and Motives has created a tremendous amount of media buzz. La La is also tearing the business up as a new UnFranchise owner and celebrity ambassador. She is a fast-growing UFO too and a huge promoter of Paid to Shop in the Celebrity ambassador program.

Are you ready for new Yours by Loren pieces just in time for Valentine's Day?  The second Yours by Loren show will go live on HSN Wednesday night at 10PM! Loren’s last show broke sales records at HSN for a two hour fine jewelry show! You can order pieces from this beautiful collection either on Shop.com or MarketAmerica.com at our partner store HSN – plus you get Cashback!

It’s a great way to get new customers and even existing customers or partners on Paid to Shop, while getting an incredible and affordable Valentine’s gift.  You can also use a ShopBox designed for this to share with others on Facebook.

Be sure to spread the word as this builds our brand and brings you new customers! Get all your partners to watch and call in - there will be a few celebrity friends calling in too!

Viewers can purchase items from the Yours by Loren collection at HSN (our partner store) on Shop.com or MarketAmerica.com - and get Cashback and become a Preferred Customer or Paid to Shop participant and collect cash back. Of course it recognizes your existing customers and partners when they go in through the MA or SHOP.com shopping sites. But it will not happen by calling an order in or going direct to HSN.

When people go to buy Yours to get Paid to Shop (Cashback) they are buying from HSN - who gets the order or conversion - but they discover the Shop.com or Market America site, shopping experience, other products like Motives or Isotonix, and many end up buying or becoming customers.

The amount of press coverage the new “Motives for La La” cosmetics line has been receiving is incredible! This is fabulous news and an amazing branding opportunity!

This opens doors for Motives and presents us with an opportunity to expand into new markets!  Let’s help spread the world about this amazing new cosmetics line by sharing these links with your customers, partners, and prospective customers!

Make sure you are at World Conference to see this launched – it will be spectacular!

This is a great representative testimonial on how iTransact gives UFO’s control over their business - and how it generates business, sales, and customers! Thanks for sharing, Liz.

If you have an experience you’d like to share with us, please email us your testimonials to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . We want to hear from you! Here’s Liz’s amazing experience with iTransact:

I'm so excited!!

I have iTransact and have been hearing how we can do specials for our customers with free shipping.

I took a look at my reports and noticed that I was going to miss the IBV pool because none of my customers ordered BV products this month from me.  (a lot of IBV but no BV).  So I put an email out the other day that I was offering free shipping till the end of the year, then I followed it up today with a reminder email.

I just got a little over $300 in orders, but the BV that I got from the orders just put me over 5000BV and I will hit my $600 commission check - AND now that I will make the IBV pool, I will reach my $600 commission check for IBV in the next couple weeks!!!

$1200.00 for pushing out 2 emails and paying for a few customers shipping!!!

What a way to end the year!

YES I'm excited!!

Happy New Year everyone!!

PS: if you do not have I Transact I suggest you look into it - it is well worth it!!

Liz :)
