Saving with the Internet Is Easier Than Ever

Internet shopping is getting more and more popular every day. The growing popularity of digital coupons is just one sign of this economic change. More people than ever used coupons in 2009, and many of the coupons they were using were either used online through coupon codes, or found by searching on the Internet. A recent usage report performed by Coupons.com published that digital coupon usage has now outpaced newspaper-based print coupons by a ratio of 10 to 1.

Steven Boal, CEO of Coupons.com, recently stated that "for the first time in almost two decades the use of coupons increased in 2009, in part due to the growth of digital coupons as more consumers made them part of their shopping routine and more brands tapped them to engage with their consumers. We expect the adoption of digital coupons will continue to accelerate in 2010 as consumers and brands alike increasingly adopt them, and as we continue to enable companies to engage with their consumers with coupons in innovative ways, including mobile and social media initiatives."

With our Hot Deals page on each and every Web Portal, Market America is already providing our customers and Customer Managers with easy-to-find deals that make saving while shopping simple. Take the time to show your customers how to search for and use online coupons in conjunction with Hot Deals and ma Cashback to save and make extra money each and every time they shop on your Portal. Your BV and IBV will grow exponentially!

Paid to be Online Program Alert

It has come to the attention of Market America, through the Google AdSense program that has been implemented on all the Market America Web Portals, that some Customer Managers have engaged in fraudulent activity and abuse by generating invalid and erroneous impressions or page views on their respective Web Portals.

Market America has identified these individuals and requests that all fraudulent clicks and page views be stopped immediately. If this activity continues, Market America will remove Google AdSense from these Distributors' Web Portals and institute corrective action procedures. This could result in the Google AdSense program possibly being removed from all Market America Web Portals, which would negatively impact the Paid to be Online Program. Please help us keep this powerful new program alive by not participating in fraudulent activity such as erroneous clicks and page views.

Important Market America Canada Announcement

Standards play an increasingly important role in the Canadian marketplace and in protecting the interests of consumers. There are a number of initiatives currently being taken into consideration regarding the use of standards in consumer advocacy and regulation of the marketplace regarding Health & Nutrition products.

In that context, it is important for each Canadian Independent Distributor to be aware that there are regulatory costs associated with the sale of Health & Nutrition products in Canada, which, in turn, will increase the cost of certain products. Please find below the price increases we will have to make for a few Canadian Health & Nutrition products. The price increase will be effective as of March 1, 2010. Market America is working diligently to support the Canadian marketplace and wanted to inform you as soon as possible so you can inform your organizations and customers of the upcoming changes.

Please note that these products will each have a new code; please update your transfer buy if necessary.

*Prices shown are in US$. Canadian prices will vary based on the current exchange rate. Please see the Canadian Price List for the most accurate prices.
