Oriflame Direct Marketing Strategy

It is one of the largest companies to sell through direct marketing through an independent sales force of over 3. 6 million sales consultants in more than 60 countries worldwide with annual sales exceeding some ?1. 5 billion. Network Marketing or Multi-Level Marketing (ML) is a strategy which allows the parent multi-level company to market and distribute their products r/and service, directly to the consumer by direct selling in a Nan-permanent retail location and grow the network through relationship referrals.

These sales are done through independent, unsteadied Sales Consultants (full time or part time) who represent the company and make commission based on the volume of sales.

The sales consultants often build their own organization by recruiting a down-line of other independent distributors, who perform the same job; and as a result the entire organization expands. As a consultant they earn commission not only based on their own sales, but also on the entire sales of the down-line group.

This strategy has a very low distribution cost and also offers a leading business opportunity to people.
