Business Week

"Reader's Digest has successfully turned around its QSP youth fund-raising division and could have similar success as it expands operations internationally, according to S&P analyst James Peters, who has a buy recommendation on the stock. In a May 18 report, Peters also points to expected revenue growth from new products and new business ventures, such as recently launched party planning business Taste of Home Entertaining.

Shares finished at $13.81 on July 26, up 5.2% from a 52-week low touched on June 13. Still, some analysts spot few factors likely to improve the stock price further, particularly as Reader's Digest's full-year earnings tend to be weighed toward December-quarter results. "We do not see a catalyst for [the] shares near term, given its seasonality and general economic concerns," Merrill Lynch analyst Karl Choi wrote in a July 10 report. Choi has a neutral recommendation on the stock. (Merrill owns 1% or more of Reader's Digest stock and makes a market in the securities.) "

Cosmetic major Oriflame sponsors education of 1,000 girls

Swedish cosmetic giant Oriflame has announced a mega charity initiative to sponsor the education of 1,000 girls for a period of three years. Called the ‘Oriflame Girl Child’, the project, launched in partnership with Delhi-based child welfare organisation Deepalaya, will primarily facilitate the education of girls in the age bracket of 4 to 17 years. The direct selling company has allocated Rs 2.7 crore to the NGO for the project.

Tomas Eriksson, managing director, Oriflame India, says the project is “much more than just education”. He adds: “What is more important is the investment made on a girl child. We believe that any investment made in the education of a girl translates directly into better healthcare, poverty reduction and enhanced socio-economic performance of the family. Education for the girl in the family has wide ranging impact on the family in the first place, and human survival and development in the long run.” Eriksson says that the new project is “an attempt to spread the message that a community’s development is incomplete without the education of its girls. Says he: “Through this, we aim to lead the girls towards the path of education and bring out their latent talent.” "

"Most of us dream of winning the lottery, of getting a call out of the blue to say we're the sole beneficiary of a long-lost rich relative's estate. What wouldn't we do if only we had financial freedom?

Multi-level marketing (MLM) companies promote such dreams -take charge of your life, work the hours you choose and earn unlimited amounts. Products or services are sold direct to customers via a network of sales representatives, who may also be encouraged to recruit more people, who recruit more people and so on. With a solid team under you and group commissions passing through your "business centre", MLM companies promise a path to financial freedom.

While MLMs are legal in New Zealand, pyramid schemes are not. In a pyramid, earning money relies solely on recruiting new people into the scheme; those on higher levels earn more than those below, but ultimately it becomes impossible to recruit enough people for newcomers to make money. MLMs, on the other hand, offer a commercially viable product and the opportunity to earn a living through repeat sales.

Diet supplements company Usana uses the MLM model. Founded in 1992, it listed on the Nasdaq stock market in 1993. Reported net earnings for the first quarter of 2006 were $US9.6 million - a nice earner for majority shareholder and company founder Dr Myron Wentz. "

Grassroots Campaign Urges Change of FTC BizOp Rule

BOZEMAN, Mt.— The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was flooded with more than 1,000 letters from individuals and companies calling for the modification of a proposed business opportunity rule that critics contend would adversely affect the network marketing industry.

According to the campaign, the rule, if not modified, would create a de facto seven-day waiting period before a new distributor can be enrolled; require the release of any litigation involving misrepresentation or fraud in the last 10 years whether the company or distributor was found innocent, settled out of court or the decision was pending; the release of a distributor’s 10 closest customers and their contact information; and the release of estimated earnings along with detailed financial data upon request.
