IMN (Waltham, Mass) has introduced a new “e-nnovation” called Net Connect, which will provide its Network Marketing clients a new solution for reaching their target audience.

Network Marketers have very specific needs when it comes to reaching their social networks and downlines. Information needs to reach their community fast, and often there is a lot of information that needs to travel back and forth quickly to different groups of people. Net Connect allows network marketing companies, and their distributors, to strengthen communication between distributors and help build their brand and networks. Net Connect offers Company’s the ability to send out customized e newsletters, and can even customize newsletters to different groups of people, whether its distributors, customers, prospects, each audience can receive the correct information in an efficient manner. The Net Connect program also offers follow-up analytics with simple log it that lets the company make better decisions about the content they send out and tailor the material to what each group deemed important and relevant.

The e-newsletters are sent out by the Network Marketing company on behalf of the distributor, to each of the distributors customers. The newsletters are personalized for each distributor with pictures and contact information. The distributor can even attach his or her own personal message to the newsletter. IMN feels that it is important to personalize each newsletter as people are generally more inclined to open an email from someone that they know as opposed to an email coming from a business or company. Because most of the content of the newsletter is created by the network marketing company it assures consistent brand image as well as maintaining corporate and industry compliance.

IMN has been around since 1999 and active in assisting Direct Sales and Network marketing companies. With over 3,000 active accounts, the company has been agressively growing its business by putting out products like Net Connect. The new Net Connect product joins the others services IMN offers: iMakeNews, Loyalty Driver, Party Pulse and Total Channel Communications.

 Cleure (Camarillo, CA) A wellness company founded by Dentist and Natural Health Expert, Flora Stay, has expanded its business by adding Cleure associates nationwide. Previously the products had been available only on its website, but now, the company will use a direct-sales model to sell products in all 50 states using Cleure sales Associates.

The company which started with a line of dental products, now has over 70 different health and beauty products all of which have gone through rigorous testing to ensure that they are healthy, natural and eco-friendly. The company’s product line includes: Dental, Nutritional Supplements, Cosmetics, Skin Care and Personal Care.

Cleure was founded by Flora Stay, a practicing dentist who is also an author and natural health expert. She found that so many products that were on the market, especially in the dental field, were marketed as “natural” but actually contained dangerous chemicals and toxins, including lead and aluminum. Stay decided that it it was time for people to have a real safe and natural choice when it came to health and beauty products.

Cleure products are available and legal in all 50 states and the business structure strictly follows guidelines set by consumer protection groups, the FDA and the FCC.

Cleure has an interesting Compensation plan (see below) which is not the most lucrative we have seen but does seem to be practical in its approach:

Obviously this is just an example but one which could be practical with the right amount of time and effort dedicated to selling Cleure - also recognizing that your adoption rate is on track with their forecast for you.
