Roger Barnett, CEO and Chairman of Shaklee Corporation announced plans to launch a nationwide campaign to promote the Shaklee business opportunity. The 50 year old company hopes to raise awareness of the potential the company offers for financial freedom. Barnett says that the Shaklee opportunity has the chance to help over a million families throughout 2009. The campaign got underway in Greensboro NC on February 9th.
Shaklee representatives on the tour will tout the benefits of becoming an independent distributor and highlight the chance to become financially independent while taking control of your life and time. Barnett will promote Shaklee’s revolutionary business model that will help those in need even during the economic downturn.
“Families are struggling to make ends meet in this difficult economy,” says Barnett. “While so many others are cutting back, we’re a 50-year-old company with a revolutionary business model that’s seeking to create one million new entrepreneurial opportunities to give people the potential to thrive even during these difficult economic times. Shaklee has actually grown during the past seven economic downturns. Our economic growth, combined with products that make people and the planet healthier, make Shaklee a powerful force for good,” says Barnett.
The tour comes at a perfect time, when millions of Americans have lost their jobs within the last year, and new jobs are scarce, if not impossible to find. The tour will travel to half a dozen cities and expose thousands to the possibility of operating their own independent business. Shaklee hopes to highlight the opportunity the company provides either to supplement income or create a source of full time income.
Shaklee is over 50 years old, and is one of the most well respected companies not only in the Direct Sales Industry but in the world. Shaklee has been a pioneer in the fields of all natural products that are healthy and harmless to the environment.
The nationwide tour will run through Feb. 14 and is free and open to the public. For information on this campaign, call 1-800-SHAKLEE.

The exit from the board comes after being questioned in the past weeks by the Wall Street Journal about the endorsement of the product. Dr. Sinclair now claims that his name has been misused in connection to Vivix and disputes claims that he approved use of his name in its advertising material.
