Does anyone Know if this magazine is mostly about direct sales companies? I was under the impression that no it is not mostly about direct sales companies,,,,,,


Then I saw another edition featuring Creative Memories! Someone had said at my show before last that they had seen it before and that so what if PC is featured they always feature direct sales companies so it's no big deal. Then my next show host is a creative memories consultant and when I walked in her door there was a stack of them right there!!!! I couldn't believe it. Needless to say, at that show I didn't mention it at all, but had it out at the table where I took orders. I am really bummed about this and feel that it has lost its effectiveness.
any one else's opinion?
 
I noticed the first issue was Beauty Control, Pampered Chef was the second issue.

It's a genius business idea. Thousands of consultants all over buy them up and I hadn't even anticipated the hundreds of thousands that the company itself buys for the consultants. If they ever run out of direct marketing companies to feature, they can just quit and retire rich.
 
My impression when it first came out was that each issue would feature a different company.

I do still think it's a great tool for us to use. When a contact isn't sure TPC will fit their life, we can show them an article about someone with a similar lifestyle.

Keep using it!
