Founded in 1992, Market America is an innovative product brokerage and Internet marketing company based in Greensboro, North Carolina, specializing in One-to-One Marketing. The company markets a wide range of high-quality, consumer-oriented, and market-driven products and services through a vast network of Independent Distributors and UnFranchise® Owners.
The company empowers this network as an effective sales, marketing and distribution force through the UnFranchise Business Development System — the most dynamic and affordable home-based independent plan ever created. It is a perfected, standardized, and uniform structure that combines franchising with direct sales and products referral to promote the duplication of independent business success.
Determined to differentiate itself from other direct sales opportunities and to lead the parade into the One-to-One future with computerized marketing through the use of electronic technology, Market America has built its success on a solid foundation of Four Cornerstones:
(A) The Binomial Marketing System with the Management Performance Compensation Plan (MPCP): The most advanced and realistic compensation program in the industry, the MPCP addresses the problems associated with other direct sales/network marketing programs with its emphasis on organization building in depth, not width, thus avoiding group competition. The Management Performance Compensation Plan offers better cash flow, higher retention, higher and consistent earnings, and the ability to attract a wide variety of people. It was designed based on what has already been proven the average person can actually and realistically do, thus ensuring profitability and stability. Market America’s Management Performance Compensation Plan is exceptional and fair, rewarding field representatives not only for their referral success, but also for their leadership and their management in motivating and training other Distributors and UnFranchise Owners to conduct their businesses according to the proven business system. The Binomial Marketing System perfectly facilitates One-to-One Marketing.
(B) The UnFranchise Business Development System: The UnFranchise Business Development System not only provides a systematic means to conduct business, it features the standardization and uniformity necessary to facilitate duplication — the key to the business. It guarantees your success when you make others successful. You are in business for yourself, not by yourself. Distributors are equipped with the finest marketing and management tools. Meetings and trainings provide Independent Distributors and UnFranchise Owners with a standardized, coordinated and comprehensive training and support system. Thousands of meetings and webinars are coordinated and publicized, including comprised of business briefings, training sessions, seminars and conventions. Utilizing this system allows everyone access to expert speakers and trainers within Market America and provides a means to build their UnFranchise Business anywhere.
(C) The Product Brokerage System through GLOBAL.SHOP.COM: Without the burden of manufacturing, the company can stay focused with established market-driven products and move with the marketplace. Market America’s Product Brokerage System provides access to multi-market environments and promotes unique relationships between marketers, customers and manufacturers, stimulating share of customer and avoiding shelf space competition. Market America identifies the highest quality market-driven products customers want. These products are on the leading edge of consumer trends and colossal markets emerging from information supplied by Distributors and Preferred Customers. The variety of products and services through Market America minimizes vulnerability to swings in the marketplace, thus placing the Distributor and UnFranchise Owner in a position for short-term and long-term profitability and stability. GLOBAL.SHOP.COM allows each Distributor and UnFranchise Owner to access multiple lines of the highest quality of products and services that appeal to a wide consumer base. The Product Brokerage Concept through Market America positions the company and you for explosive growth and unlimited potential. Market America does not incur costs such as research and development, inventory, or advertising, thus allowing more value to be put into the products. As a result, Market America will always provide products that are very unique, innovative and competitively priced.
(D) One-to-One Marketing: One-to-One Marketing represents the future of business that is being pioneered by Market America. This evolving concept centers on tracking customer data, identifying commonalities, and sourcing them out so customized products can be produced and delivered to waiting customers. Internet activity through our state-of-the-art UnFranchise Business Accounts, custom Web Portals, and shop.com facilitate and accelerate the customized marketing process while personal relationships are established and maintained through our Distributors and UnFranchise Owners. Market America’s Preferred Customer Program is the principle One-to-One Marketing vehicle. Market America’s strategy for its implementation revolves around three simple core principles: (1) referring more products to fewer people, which is more efficient and profitable than the time-honored mass marketing rules of pitching products to the greatest number of people; (2) concentrating on building unique relationships with customers on a one-to-one basis; and (3) establishing, sustaining and maintaining dialog with customers, and obtaining feedback from those customers. The era of mass production and mass advertising has run its course and Market America intends to build on its Four Cornerstones to implement a One-to-One future that will revolutionize the way people purchase products as it changes the face of business, one customer at a time.
Market America’s mission centers on revolutionizing the way consumers shop for products and services as it redefines the nature and perception of the direct sales industry. In so doing, the company is committed to providing quality, market-driven products to end consumers through its unique and innovative UnFranchise® Business Development System, a system the average person can actually and realistically implement. Market America will boldly chart a new course toward a One-to-One Marketing future to become the new standard by which other businesses are measured.
