Alive Worldwide no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company. Last update Monday, June 22, 2026

Alive Worldwide was a relatively small network marketing (MLM) income opportunity that launched to sell a product called Cheia Vida. The company operated using a six-level, 2x12 forced-compressing matrix compensation plan.<br/><br/>Like many smaller, recruitment-focused MLMs, the company quietly ceased operations and faded away. Historically, these schemes generally collapse due to the following reasons:<br/>Recruitment-Driven Models: New members were heavily incentivized to pay joining fees and recruit others to bypass lower levels of the "matrix" rather than selling tangible retail products to outside consumers.<br/>Unsustainable Growth: Without a solid base of retail customers, downline growth stalled, making it impossible for the majority of participants to earn the promised returns.<br/>Market Obsolescence: Historically, smaller, non-household name MLMs have a high failure rate. Many of them end up closing their doors after a few years once the initial wave of recruitment dries up.

Launched around 2013–2014, All’asta (which means "at auction" in Italian) was a home-decor and lifestyle MLM with a unique twist: it combined direct sales with a silent auction. All’asta shut down in December, 2015. Consultants were given notice to liquidate their remaining inventory, and the company officially dissolved its operations at the end of December 2015. The website domain was subsequently abandoned and allowed to expire.

Original Npros business profile for Allasta, preserved below for archival purposes:

All'asta is a direct sales company with a twist. All'asta is the Italian word for "auction." An All’asta party operates on the same model as most home party businesses, but the guests and host actually sell their own goods, and everyone has a chance to earn some profit. In addition to the items brought by the host and guests, All’asta also offers a catalog of “Signature” items that can be purchased at the party.

Guests at All-asta parties bring 1 to 3 items that have barely been used, and work with the All'asta Consultant to set a starting bid, which is posted on a bidding sheet next to the item prior to the start of the auction. After bidding stops, winners buy their items and take them home that night. Sellers earn 50% of the purchase price and can use it at the party as credit towards any purchase, or they can choose to receive a check within two weeks of the party. Hostesses earn free and half-priced All'asta Signature items based on the total sales of the party.

American Income Life Insurance Company is a Waco, Texas-based life and supplemental-health insurance company founded in 1951 by Harold Goodman and his nephew, Bernard Rapoport, with $25,000 in borrowed capital. The original business was established in Indianapolis as American Income Insurance Company, and American Income Life Insurance Company was organized as a stock company in 1954. Its executive offices moved to Waco in 1958. Beginning in 1961, the company developed a close relationship with organized labor by selling insurance to union members and offering benefits designed for working families. Torchmark Corporation acquired American Income Life for $563 million in 1994; Torchmark later adopted the Globe Life name, and American Income Life now operates as a wholly owned Globe Life subsidiary.

American Income Life sells whole life, term life, final-expense, accident, hospital-indemnity, cancer, critical-illness, and other supplemental insurance. Its Special Risk Division provides blanket accident policies for organizations including 4-H and Cooperative Extension programs, summer camps, colleges, universities, student travel groups, and other youth-serving organizations. The company also distributes no-cost Legacy Will Kits, Child Safe Kits, and accidental-death benefits through relationships with labor unions, credit unions, associations, and affinity groups.

American Income Life uses a direct-selling insurance model built around independently contracted agents and separately operated agency organizations. Agents earn first-year sales commissions, continuing renewal commissions while qualifying policies remain in force, performance bonuses, and incentive awards. Managers can also receive renewal credit when producers within their agencies make sales. The structure includes recruiting, agent development, agency management, and compensation connected to the production of other agents, giving it some characteristics associated with multilevel field-sales organizations. However, it is not a conventional retail-product MLM: agents sell regulated insurance policies, do not purchase inventory for resale, and generally must obtain the applicable insurance licenses before conducting business.

American Income Life remains one of Globe Life's largest distribution operations. The company reported more than four million policies in force and more than $393 million in annualized life-premium sales for 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, the American Income Life Division averaged 11,064 producing agents, generated approximately $459.2 million in life premium, and recorded $101.3 million in net life sales. The company operates in 49 states, Canada, and New Zealand, with National Income Life serving New York. American Income Life held an A, or Excellent, financial-strength rating from A.M. Best as of November 2025.

Arbonne International is a provider of premium quality skin care and nutritional products from Irvine, California. Their products include both internal health remedies, and external health and cosmetic products such as skin creams, muscle massage gels, make up and lipsticks. Arbonne International initially began in 1975 when an entrepreneur and a group of leading bio-chemists, biologists, and herbalists began research and development in order to develop skin products. The company has grown to include color, aromatherapy, nutrition and weight loss products which Arbonne International believes to be unrivaled in quality, safety, and value. The company is also a member of the DSA.

Products distributed by Arbonne are only available for purchase through Arbonne Independent Consultants. The products consist of internal health remedies, external health and cosmetic products, skin creams, muscle massage gels, lipsticks, and anti-aging skin creams called RE9 Advanced, and RE9 Advanced for men. Arbonne also produces an assortment of neck creams, skin lift gels, facial renewal creams and eye moisturizers.

Ardyss independent distributors buy the products at wholesale and after markup can earn up to 40% from sales.

Ardyss International appears to still be active largely in the direct sales and network marketing space, with their website at www.ardyss.com currently accessible and branded around reshaping garments and nutritional supplements. The company’s model involving independent distributors selling shapewear and nutritional products remains consistent with their historic positioning in personal care and wellness.

Assured Nutrition Plus no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for Assured Nutrition Plus, preserved below for archival purposes:

Assured Nutrition Plus was a Greenville, Ohio-based nutritional and weight-management company that distributed its products through multilevel marketing. The Assured Nutrition Plus trade name was formally registered in Ohio on October 13, 1994, although the business may have begun operating before that registration. By the late 1990s, the company was an established participant in the direct-selling industry. A Direct Selling Association membership roster from 1997 lists Assured Nutrition Plus as an active DSA member in Greenville, Ohio, with its products categorized as nutrition and weight management.

Assured Nutrition Plus marketed nutritional and weight-control products, including meal-replacement shakes, through independent distributors. The company's product offering was centered on nutrition and weight management rather than cosmetics, household goods or services. Historical direct-selling directories consistently identify the company in those categories, while later direct-sales listings specifically describe its principal offering as meal-replacement shakes.

The company used a six-level multilevel compensation plan. Independent distributors earned commissions from their own product sales and from sales generated through their organizations, with commissions extending through six levels. Assured Nutrition Plus promoted the plan as requiring relatively little personal or organizational volume for distributors to qualify for full commissions. The company therefore operated as a conventional product-based MLM rather than simply a retail affiliate or single-level direct-sales program.

Assured Nutrition Plus was led by Lowell E. Garber, Chairman and CEO, and operated from 4279 Crumrine Road, Greenville, Ohio 45331. Historical company contact information listed 937-548-7713 as its telephone number and 937-548-7795 as its fax number. The same telephone number appears in independent network-marketing industry references identifying Assured Nutrition Plus as a Greenville-based nutrition and weight-management company.

ATG Technologies no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

ATG Technologies no longer operates under that name, but the underlying business remains active as PATLive.

Original Npros business profile for ATG Technologies, preserved below for archival purposes:

ATG Technologies, Inc. was a Tallahassee, Florida telecommunications company associated with entrepreneur Glen A. Davidson. Florida corporate records show that the corporation now known as PATLIVE, Inc. was originally incorporated on June 23, 1987, and lists ATG Technologies, Inc. as one of its former corporate names. PATLive's current company history traces its operating business to 1990, when Davidson developed a networked voice communications platform for distributed business users. The company later shifted toward telephone answering and call-management services and adopted PATLive as its principal brand. The original atg-tech.com domain was registered in 1997 and remains registered using PATLive contact information.

ATG Technologies marketed business telecommunications services rather than consumer merchandise. Historical materials identify PATLive as a division of ATG Technologies and describe services including toll-free telephone numbers, voice mailboxes, automated call routing, caller-number capture, message transcription, fax and email delivery, and telephone answering. An older customer application listed the company at 2024 North Point Boulevard, Tallahassee, Florida 32308, and promoted its PocketOffice and PATLive services. The business subsequently expanded PATLive into hosted local and toll-free numbers, auto attendants, Internet fax, call tracking and live receptionist services.

Original Npros business profile for ATX INC., preserved below for archival purposes:

ATX Telecommunications Services was a Pennsylvania telecommunications company founded in 1985 and based in the Philadelphia area, later operating from 50 Monument Road in Bala Cynwyd. The business was built by principals including Michael Karp, Debra Buruchian and Thomas Gravina. Buruchian joined ATX in 1986 and became a partner and co-CEO, while Gravina joined in 1987 and also became a partner and co-CEO. ATX grew into a substantial competitive telecommunications provider serving primarily business customers throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

ATX sold local and long-distance telephone service, toll-free service, calling cards, private-line service, Internet access, web hosting and development, frame relay, conference calling, fax broadcasting, cellular and paging services, network integration and other business communications products. Regulatory filings describe ATX as a telecommunications carrier and reseller rather than a consumer-product direct seller. By the early 2000s, the company was also providing higher-capacity voice and data services, managed networking, Internet security and other communications technology to small and midsize businesses.

ATX used both conventional employees and independent telecommunications agents and resellers to sell its services. Channel partners could earn recurring commissions from customer accounts; in 2006, for example, ATX's managed-security agent program paid approximately 12% to 20% commissions, plus promotional bonuses on certain services. This was a telecom agent/reseller model rather than a conventional MLM compensation plan. There is no documented binary, matrix, unilevel or generation-based structure in which representatives were paid for recruiting additional representatives.

Ava Anderson Non-Toxic closed its doors in January 2016 due to severe public backlash, negative reviews from bloggers, and pressure from the USDA.

Avalar Network, Inc. no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Avalar Network, Inc., also known as Avalar Real Estate & Mortgage Network, operated as a real estate and mortgage franchise system built around broker and agent recruitment. The company promoted itself as an agent-driven real estate organization, offering franchisees training, technology, marketing support, broker support, referral programs, and a revenue-sharing system for participating agents, brokers, and staff.

Avalar was not a typical product-based MLM. It was closer to a real estate franchise model with MLM-style compensation features, especially its revenue-sharing and recruiting incentives tied to building the organization. Public records and older franchise listings show Avalar active through the 2000s, including its 2008 acquisition of Better Homes Realty, but the original Avalar.biz site does not appear to be operating normally today.

Avedis Group no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for Avedis Group, preserved below for archival purposes:

The Avedis Group Inc. was a financial-education and network-marketing company incorporated in Nevada on January 6, 2003. It was initially headquartered in Allen, Texas, and later maintained operations in Columbus, Kansas, and Searcy, Arkansas.

Avedis marketed financial-literacy courses and support services intended to help members reduce debt, manage household finances, start home-based businesses, invest in real estate, and develop long-term financial plans. Members received written educational materials, participated in conference calls, and could work with people presented as mentors or financial advisers. The company promoted its mission as helping families earn more, save more, eliminate debt, and achieve financial independence.

Avedis distributed its memberships through a multilevel-marketing organization. Contemporary reporting indicated that membership required a one-time enrollment payment and a continuing monthly fee based on the service level selected. Entry-level participation reportedly began at approximately $40, followed by a $25 monthly charge for educational materials and counseling.

Avon sells its products through multi-level marketing. The company produces cosmetics, skincare, perfumes, jewelry, clothing, and toys. Avon products are currently sold in over 140 countries. Although the majority of Avon products are designed and intended for women, Avon also offers products for men as well as children. Those product lines, such as aftershaves, shampoos, and products intended for use by adolescents, continue to expand.

Corporate Citizenship has been a part of Avon since the company’s inception. One of Avon Founder David H. McConnell’s guiding principles was: “To meet fully the obligations of corporate citizenship by contributing to the well-being of society and the environment in which it functions.” Central to Avon’s corporate citizenship is the mission to improve the lives of women globally. Since the Avon Foundation was created, more than $500 million worldwide has been donated to address breast cancer, domestic violence and emergency relief for women and families. Avon is the largest single corporate supporter in breast cancer awareness and research.

Founded in 2003 by artisan Cheri Larson in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Azante Jewelry grew into a national direct-sales company. It employed over 200 independent consultants across 28 states who sold handcrafted jewelry—such as Swarovski crystal bracelets and Bali sterling silver pieces—primarily by hosting in-home jewelry parties.
Representatives purchased start-up kits ranging from $99 to $599 and earned a 30% to 40% commission on retail sales while recruiting downlines to build multi-tiered sales teams.
The Transition away from MLM: The national multi-level network marketing operation dissolved years ago. The founder later shifted away from the structured, multi-tier consultant model to focus on independent artisan work, marketing eco-friendly products, mixed-media art, and jewelry directly through e-commerce channels like Etsy and Amazon.

Beauty Society remains active party plan company with a direct-sales/advisor program. The company says advisors can earn commissions on personal sales without buying inventory or recruiting, but its compensation materials also include group volume, level volume commissions, rank qualifications, and generation bonuses. For directory purposes, Beauty Society is best described as an active direct-selling beauty company with MLM-style compensation features, even though the company's own affiliate terms state that it is not a multilevel company.

Hostesses of Beauty Society Facial Events receive free full size products and a 15% merchandise discount based on the event's total sales.

BeautyCounter no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Beautycounter is no longer active as a multilevel direct-selling company. The original business shut down in April 2024 after entering foreclosure, and founder Gregg Renfrew later relaunched the brand as Counter with a single-level affiliate model rather than an MLM compensation structure.

Original Npros business profile for BeautyCounter, preserved below for archival purposes:

Beautycounter was founded by Gregg Renfrew in 2011 and commercially launched in 2013 from Santa Monica, California. The company became one of the better-known "clean beauty" brands in the United States, selling skincare, cosmetics, bath and body products, sunscreen, and personal-care products while advocating for tighter regulation of ingredients used in cosmetics. Beautycounter developed its own "Never List" of more than 1,800 ingredients it excluded from its formulations and combined its direct-selling business with e-commerce, company stores, and retail partnerships. By 2021, the company had more than 65,000 independent sellers across North America and more than 100 products.

Beautycounter used a genuine multilevel compensation plan. Independent Consultants earned retail commissions on personal customer sales and could recruit additional Consultants and receive commissions from the resulting downline organization. A historical company compensation plan paid a base retail commission of approximately 25%, increasing to as much as 35% based on sales, while team overrides extended through multiple levels. Leadership ranks included Consultant, Senior Consultant, Manager, Senior Manager, Director, Senior Director, Executive Director, and Managing Director, with additional generation overrides and frontline development bonuses available at higher ranks.

Beautycounter became particularly valuable during the growth of the clean-beauty category. In April 2021, private-equity firm The Carlyle Group agreed to acquire a majority stake in Counter Brands, LLC at a $1 billion valuation. At the time, the company hoped to expand beyond its consultant network and accelerate conventional retail and e-commerce growth. Carlyle subsequently pushed Beautycounter further into traditional retail, including a national relationship with Ulta Beauty, while changes to the consultant compensation program strained relations with parts of the field organization. Carlyle ultimately invested roughly $700 million in the business before surrendering it to lenders in March 2024.

Bellamora no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company. Last update Tuesday, June 23, 2026

Founded by Ed Ayala (a former NYC narcotics detective) and based in Tampa, Florida, Bellamora launched in late 2010/early 2011 as a luxury skincare and anti-aging MLM. Its primary marketing angle was an "immediate results" topical cream.
To build a massive network quickly, Bellamora offered free sign-ups during its pre-launch phase. This gimmick was highly successful, drawing in over 52,000 to 64,000 distributor sign-ups in a matter of weeks.
Before the company could properly launch and ship its official inventory, intense internal conflicts broke out among the executive staff. The primary founders and top field leadership abruptly abandoned the company.
In March 2011, Bellamora's corporate website experiences outages that frustrated representatives.
Bellamora permanently closed its doors in 2011 without ever establishing a sustainable corporate footprint.

Benchmark USA no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company. Last update Tuesday, June 30, 2026

Benchmark USA was a Salt Lake City, Utah-based MLM/direct-sales company listed in the nutrition, personal-care, and skin-care category. The company operated through the former benchweb.com domain and was associated with a Lawndale Drive address in Salt Lake City. Public directory records preserve the company as an older network-marketing opportunity, but provide limited information about its ownership, executive team, compensation plan, or full product catalog.

The original Benchmark USA MLM opportunity no longer appears active. The former benchweb.com website is no longer operating as a company, customer, or distributor-enrollment site, and directory records now mark Benchmark USA as closed. Current businesses using similar “Benchmark USA” naming appear to be unrelated commercial concession-equipment companies rather than a continuation of the old nutrition and personal-care MLM.

Bessemer no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Bessemer remains active as an Australian cookware brand, but its former party-plan direct-sales operation has ended. The company now sells through conventional retail and e-commerce channels under Global Retail Brands.

Original Npros business profile for Bessemer, preserved below for archival purposes:

Bessemer began in Australia in 1961 and became known for heavy cast-aluminium cookware designed to distribute and retain heat evenly. Neil W. Mathews was identified in a Sydney Markets corporate report as a co-founder of Bessemer Party Plan. The company's manufacturing and sales operations were combined in 1982, and Bessemer developed into a widely recognized Australian cookware name during the following decades. Museum records show that separate cookware ranges were sold through retail stores and through Bessemer's party-plan organization during the 1980s and 1990s.

The product range centered on nonstick frypans, saucepans, casseroles, roasting pans, baking dishes, multipans and fitted lids, with kitchen accessories, porcelain, crystal and household-cleaning products offered during parts of the company's direct-selling period. Bessemer promoted its cast-aluminium construction and "oven effect" cooking method, which allowed some baking and roasting to be performed on a stovetop. The current collection uses European-sourced ceramic nonstick coatings and is advertised as free from PFOA, lead and cadmium and covered by a lifetime guarantee.

Independent distributors historically demonstrated and sold Bessemer cookware in customers' homes through a party-plan system. Bessemer Sales was included among the Direct Selling Association of Australia's member companies, and distributor recruiting continued through at least 2018. The available public materials do not document a multilevel compensation plan, recruiting bonuses or commissions on multiple generations of distributors. Bessemer therefore operated as a party-plan direct seller, but the evidence does not establish that it used a conventional MLM compensation structure.

Global Retail Brands acquired Bessemer in 2020 as part of an expansion that also included the MyHouse retail business.

Original Npros business profile for Bidify, preserved below for archival purposes:

Bidify was launched in 2012 by Icelandic network marketer Larus Palmi Magnusson, with Frode Jorgensen serving as chief creative officer. The company operated as the affiliate-marketing division of Bidsson Ltd., an online penny-auction business.

Bidify affiliates also purchased "sample bids" that they distributed to prospective Bidsson customers. The company operated through entities associated with Seychelles, Delaware and Ireland rather than from a single clearly established headquarters.

Bidify used a network-marketing compensation plan built around bid purchases, subscription packages and affiliate recruitment. At its 2012 launch, affiliate packages were priced at â'¬150, â'¬250 and â'¬1,000. Participants could earn from retail bid purchases by personally referred customers, sample bids purchased by personally sponsored and downline affiliates, subscription sales and monthly renewals.

BigSmart no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company. Last update Tuesday, June 23, 2026

Launched in early 2000 by brothers Mark and Harry Tahiliani, the Arizona-based company collapsed just a year later following an aggressive federal crackdown. Members paid a $10 application fee and a $99.95 monthly hosting fee to get their own personalized Bigsmart "welcome page". This page acted as an e-commerce hub, featuring links to major third-party retail sites like MarthaStewart.com and Bigsmart’s own product "Superstore". In March 2001, the FTC filed a formal complaint charging Bigsmart with running an illegal pyramid scheme and promoting false income claims. Rather than fighting a lengthy legal battle, the company and its owners agreed to a massive settlement: $5 Million Consumer Redress: Bigsmart was ordered to pay $5 million back to defrauded customers, Strict Performance Bonds: The Tahiliani brothers were barred from participating in any future Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) programs unless they first posted a $500,000 performance bond to protect future consumers, andatory Compliance Monitoring: The company was stripped of its autonomy, forced to aggressively police its distributor force, and mandated to turn over its customer data directly to federal investigators.Following the settlement, Bigsmart tried to temporarily modify its pricing and language to state that it was a legitimate MLM. However, crippled by the $5 million fine, stricter rules, and a destroyed reputation, the business quickly collapsed entirely and dissolved.

Billion Dollar Travel Network no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Billion Dollar Travel Network operated as a Las Vegas-based travel home-business opportunity promoted through the domain BillionDollarTravel.com.

Biltmore Inspirations no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Biltmore Inspirations was a short-lived home-party direct-sales division of The Biltmore Company. It ceased operations in December 2012 after approximately 18 months in business.

Original Npros business profile for Biltmore Inspirations, preserved below for archival purposes:

Biltmore Inspirations was developed by The Biltmore Company, owner and operator of the historic Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. Announced in September 2010 and formally launched in July 2011, it was Biltmore's first entry into the direct-selling industry. The company positioned the program as an extension of the Vanderbilt estate's traditions of hospitality, entertaining and craftsmanship. By September 2011, Biltmore reported that the business had independent consultants operating in 42 states.

The exclusive product line included tableware, serving pieces, home décor, wine accessories and approximately 40 chef-selected gourmet foods. Many items drew inspiration from the architecture, gardens, artwork, winery and entertaining traditions of the Biltmore Estate. Products included the Olmsted Oak and Damask tableware collections, baking dishes, wooden serving pieces, lanterns, candleholders, linens, decorative accessories and regional artist-inspired merchandise. Biltmore initially stated that the products would be available only through Inspirations consultants and would not be sold at the estate or through conventional retail outlets.

Independent Consultants sold the products through home parties, personal orders, events and consultant websites. The company selected 12 experienced direct-selling leaders to serve as an initial advisory council, develop consultant teams and provide field training. Consultants could sponsor and build teams, making Biltmore Inspirations a party-plan network-marketing business rather than a commission-only retail representative program. A lower-priced "Grab n Go" starter kit was advertised for $99. Surviving public materials do not provide a complete compensation schedule, typical consultant earnings or verified commission percentages.

Biltmore Inspirations closed in December 2012, roughly a year and a half after its national launch.

Bioceutica no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Bioceutica is no longer active. The Massachusetts health-and-wellness network-marketing company ceased operations in September 2018.

Original Npros business profile for Bioceutica, preserved below for archival purposes:

Bioceutica's business originated with Ideal Health, a personalized-nutrition network-marketing company founded in Massachusetts in 1997 by Lou DeCaprio and brothers Todd and Scott Stanwood. Ideal Health was renamed The Trump Network in 2009 under a licensing agreement that allowed the company to use Donald Trump's name and promotional appearances. That agreement expired at the end of 2011. Entrepreneur Antoine Nohra acquired the remaining business and assets in early 2012 for an undisclosed amount and relaunched the operation as Bioceutica. Jesse Young initially served as interim chief executive before Candace Keefe was appointed CEO in August 2012.

Bioceutica retained personalized nutrition as a central part of its business. Its Custom Essentials and MyVitaminsRx programs used the PrivaTest, an at-home urine test that the company said could be used to customize a monthly vitamin regimen. The catalog also included Silhouette Solutions weight-management products, MetaReset meal replacements, FlexCaps, Energen, SuperOptiGreens, detoxification supplements and Intuitiv by Nature skin-care and cosmetic products. By 2013, the company reported that customer enrollment had increased 180% and Independent Consultant enrollment had risen 171% compared with the previous year, although those figures were company-reported and not independently audited.

Independent Consultants earned retail commissions ranging from 15% to 35%, with the percentage increasing as monthly customer volume grew. The multilevel plan paid 7% on the first three unilevel levels and 4% on the fourth level, followed by generational bonuses of 4% or 5% through as many as four generations for higher-ranked Consultants. Enrollment was listed at $89, with optional product packages priced at $299, $339 and $499. Beginning January 1, 2016, Consultants were required to personally purchase at least 100 points of product each month to receive monthly commissions. The plan also offered a $200 Area Manager advancement award and a Lexus Hybrid automobile bonus for qualifying Directors.

Bioceutica ceased operations in September 2018.

Biometics International no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

On November 19, 2013, Youngevity International acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Biometics International. Youngevity described Biometics as a developer and distributor of liquid supplements marketed through a network of independent sales representatives. The transaction gave Biometics distributors access to Youngevity’s larger product catalog while adding the Biometics formulas to Youngevity’s network. The acquisition price was not publicly disclosed.

Approximately 10,000 Biometics distributors joined Youngevity in January 2014. The former independent distributor organization was folded into Youngevity’s broader network, and Biometics ceased operating a separate compensation structure. Former Biometics representatives could continue selling the products and building organizations under Youngevity’s MLM plan.

Original Npros business profile for Biometics International, preserved below for archival purposes:

Biometics International was founded in California in 1993 and operated from Camarillo under the leadership of founder, president and chief executive officer Ted Silverberg. The company developed and marketed liquid nutritional supplements, weight-management products and targeted wellness programs through independent distributors. Chris Sanchez, who initially helped establish the company's operating, inventory and compensation systems, later became its chief executive officer.

The company built its product line around a formulation process called Biocellular Micellization, which it promoted as improving the delivery and absorption of nutrients in liquid supplements. Products included Bio Fuel liquid multivitamin, Aloe Plus, Get-Go-N Plus, Bio Alert, Flexi-Care Plus, Cal/Mag 100, Bio Nite and several bundled nutrition, energy, mobility and weight-management programs.

Biometics sold its products through a multilevel network of independent distributors. Participants could earn retail profits from product sales and additional compensation based on the sales activity of recruited distributors and their organizations. The company maintained distributor accounts, replicated ordering tools and a network-marketing compensation system, although a complete surviving version of its former compensation plan with verified rank qualifications and commission percentages was not located.

BioNovix no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

BioNovix is no longer active. The health-products MLM closed in April 2009 after approximately three years in business; BioNovix Incorporated was subject to a cease and desist order by the South Carolina Securities Commissioner.

Original Npros business profile for BioNovix, preserved below for archival purposes:

BioNovix was established in Scottsdale, Arizona, around 2006 as a consumer health-products company. Its principal product was Meridium, a dietary supplement formulated with xanthohumol, a naturally occurring compound derived from hops. The company promoted Meridium as a proprietary wellness formula and planned to build additional products around xanthohumol and related nutritional technology. Its last reported corporate address was 16410 North 91st Street, Suite 110, Scottsdale, Arizona 85260.

The company distributed its products through network marketing. Independent distributors sold BioNovix products directly to consumers and could build sales organizations by sponsoring additional distributors. Company materials emphasized proprietary products, scientific research, intellectual property and a secured ingredient supply chain, although a complete official compensation plan documenting commission rates and rank requirements is no longer publicly available.

Fred Auzenne served as BioNovix's chief executive officer, owner and controlling person beginning in 2006. Mark Labertew later became chief executive officer, while Auzenne moved into a director's role shortly before the company closed. Other individuals connected with the organization included Dr. Kim McLachlan and marketing executive Leonard Walker.

In February 2014, the South Carolina Securities Commissioner issued a cease-and-desist order against BioNovix and Auzenne concerning the company's earlier sale of stock. Regulators found that BioNovix had offered shares to investors, including South Carolina residents, without registering the securities or the sales agents involved. A June 2015 consent order resolved the matter as to Auzenne and STG Investors without admissions or denials; Auzenne and STG agreed to cease securities-law violations and jointly pay $7,500 in investigative costs. The proceeding concerned investment shares used to finance BioNovix, not its MLM compensation plan or nutritional products.
Archived Info:
BioNovix has a prelaunch event scheduled for January 12-14, 2007. BioNovix IBC's market MeridiumXN, a proprietary formulation of xanthohumol. According to the BioNovix site " wealth of established research shows that xanthohumol acts as a potent wellness agent in the body and plays an active role in counteracting a wide range of conditions associated with chronic health problems.
MeridiumXN is the first and only health product that makes xanthohumol available in a form you can metabolize."

Original Npros business profile for Blessings Unlimited, preserved below for archival purposes:

Blessings Unlimited was a Christian gift and home-accessories direct-selling company established in 2007 by DaySpring Cards in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. DaySpring, which became part of Hallmark Cards in 1999, created the business to sell faith-based merchandise through independent consultants and home gatherings. The original assortment included inspirational home décor, tableware, wall art, jewelry, books and personal gifts carrying biblical verses and Christian messages. At launch, Blessings Unlimited employed seven people and operated as a separate direct-selling division within DaySpring.

Independent consultants conducted home parties known as Gatherings and accepted orders through personalized websites and direct customer contacts. The original enrollment package cost $159 and included approximately $400 in products and business materials. Consultants initially earned 25% of their gross personal sales. A 2013 company guide continued to list a 25% personal-sales commission and offered additional leadership compensation to Team Leaders, Senior Team Leaders and Directors based on the sales activity of consultants in their organizations.

In 2013, DaySpring renamed Blessings Unlimited as Mary & Martha. The rebranding retained the Christian home, gift and hospitality focus while introducing a broader identity based on the biblical story of Mary and Martha. Mary & Martha continued as a home-party and social-selling company, offering home décor, tableware, mugs, books, children's products, stationery, seasonal merchandise and gifts. The company later reported a consultant opportunity paying a standard 25% retail commission, with higher personal-sales commissions and multilevel leadership bonuses available at qualifying sales and rank levels.

The Body Shop remains active as a global beauty retailer, but its former multilevel sales division, The Body Shop at Home, closed in February 2024. The current company sells through stores, e-commerce, franchise partners and a conventional affiliate program rather than an MLM compensation plan.

Its present catalog includes body butters, shower gels, skin care, hair care, makeup, fragrances, soaps and gift products. (thebodyshop.com)

The Body Shop added a direct-selling division in the United Kingdom in 1994 under the name The Body Shop at Home. The program later expanded into Canada, Australia and the United States.

Original Npros business profile for Broad Point Communications, preserved below for archival purposes:

roadPoint Communications, Inc. was a Landover, Maryland telecommunications and advertising company founded in October 1997 by A. Perry Kamel, who served as president and CEO. Kamel had previously worked in strategic planning and business development at MCI Communications and as a consultant with McKinsey & Company. BroadPoint developed an unusual business model that combined long-distance telephone service with targeted advertising, describing the concept as "Sponsored Communications." Duquesne Enterprises, a subsidiary of DQE Inc., took an equity stake in BroadPoint and partnered with the company for its initial market launch.

BroadPoint's principal service was FreeWay, an advertiser-supported long-distance telephone service. The service was first tested in Pittsburgh beginning April 6, 1998, initially attracting about 800 users before growing to more than 10,000 during the trial. Customers registered at broadpoint.com and completed a questionnaire covering demographics, interests, shopping habits and other information. When making a call, the customer dialed a toll-free access number and listened to targeted advertisements lasting approximately 10 to 15 seconds. Each advertisement generally earned the caller two minutes of free U.S. long-distance calling. Advertisers paid BroadPoint for delivering their messages to selected customer demographics. Early advertisers included Blockbuster Entertainment, Acura, TGI Friday's and The Wall Street Journal.

FreeWay was rolled out nationally in January 1999. Approximately 40,000 consumers had registered around the time of the national launch, and BroadPoint reported approximately 300,000 subscribers about ten months later despite doing little conventional consumer advertising. The company developed proprietary technology for matching promotional messages with individual callers and received U.S. patents covering the delivery of targeted advertising through telecommunications systems and transactions initiated directly from advertisements heard during calls.

BurnLounge was an online digital music store/business opportunity. Participants could become “Independent Retailers” selling music and merchandise, and some paid extra to become “Moguls” who could earn cash rewards. The Ninth Circuit summarized the business that way and upheld the finding that BurnLounge’s MLM operation was an illegal pyramid scheme. <br/><br/>The FTC sued in June 2007, alleging that BurnLounge sold “product packages” priced from $29.95 to $429.95 per year, made income claims, and primarily compensated participants for recruiting new participants rather than retail product sales.<br/><br/>The final judgment was substantial. The court entered judgment against BurnLounge and CEO Juan Alexander Arnold jointly for $16,245,799.70, intended for consumer reimbursement, with additional disgorgement judgments against other defendants.

Cajun Country Candies no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company. Last update Tuesday, June 23, 2026

Call the Planet ( CTP ) no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for Call the Planet ( CTP ), preserved below for archival purposes:

CallThePlanet Corporation, commonly abbreviated CTP, was an international Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telecommunications company operating by at least 2005. The business was led by John Eitel, President and CEO, and maintained operations in Vancouver, British Columbia, as well as an international presence in the Caribbean and Latin America. By 2007 the company was also using ctpcom.net alongside calltheplanet.com, and company correspondence showed an administrative office in Barbados. Eitel later stated that CTP had customers in more than 100 countries.

CallThePlanet marketed low-cost international telephone service delivered over the Internet. Its principal hardware product was the VectorWORLDBox, a portable VoIP telephone adapter that connected a conventional touch-tone telephone to an Internet connection. The device could be used with broadband service and was also promoted for dial-up Internet users. Calls between VectorWORLDBox users were marketed as free and unlimited, while calls from the CTP network to ordinary telephone numbers were charged at discounted international rates. Historical company material stated that CallThePlanet obtained rights through an agreement with Galaxy Telecommunications to market the VectorWORLDBox through its affiliate program.

Customers paid a one-time charge for either software or a hardware adapter and then a recurring service fee. Historical CallThePlanet pricing preserved by Npros lists the retail service at $24.95 per month. Individuals interested in selling the service could enroll as resellers and pay approximately $69.95 per month for a Virtual Business Center, which provided the tools needed to market CTP service and enroll customers. The affiliate program was also promoted as a way for users to offset or eliminate their own monthly telephone-service cost by referring additional customers.

Cambridge no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for Cambridge, preserved below for archival purposes:

The American Cambridge Diet business originated from nutritional research conducted by Dr. Alan Howard at Cambridge University in England beginning in the 1960s and 1970s. Howard developed a nutritionally fortified, very-low-calorie meal-replacement formula intended for weight reduction. His patents were licensed in the United States to Cambridge Plan International, and Vaughn Feather, together with members of the Feather family, commercially introduced the Cambridge Diet in the United States in 1980. The product was initially sold by mail order and then through a rapidly expanding multilevel network of independent Cambridge distributors and counselors.

The original Cambridge program called for three servings of powdered meal replacement per day, providing only about 330 calories in total. At the height of the diet's popularity, Cambridge Plan International reportedly generated approximately $47 million in sales during May 1982 alone and nearly $400 million for all of 1982. The rapid expansion was followed by equally rapid financial difficulties, and Cambridge Plan International filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September 1983. By 1984, annual sales had fallen to approximately $23 million.

Cambridge subsequently expanded beyond the original powdered diet formula. Products included the Original 330 Formula, flavored meal-replacement shakes, soups, nutrition bars and the later Food for Life Weight Management System. Dr. Robert O. Nesheim was brought in during the 1980s to develop the Food for Life formulations, which increased protein and carbohydrate content and provided approximately 140 calories per serving. Cambridge products were offered in flavors including vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, along with soup and cereal formulations. The company also developed weight-maintenance programs and products sold through physicians under the MediBase name.

The U.S. business continued after the original Cambridge Plan International financial restructuring. In 1991, Cambridge Direct Sales became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dean Distributors, Inc., a California specialty-food manufacturer founded in 1952. Dean operated the Cambridge business through its Advanced Health Care Systems division from Monterey, California. Independent distributors could earn retail profits and build distributor organizations, with additional override bonuses based on organizational sales. The FTC itself described Cambridge Direct Sales as using a "multilevel distribution system," firmly establishing its status as an MLM rather than merely a counselor or affiliate program.

CandleWealth International no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for CandleWealth International, preserved below for archival purposes:

CandleWealth International was a California-based candle-making and network-marketing company headquartered in Chatsworth. The company operated from 9666 Owensmouth Avenue, Suite K, Chatsworth, California 91311, and marketed a home-based business built around the production and sale of soy candles. Richard Anzalone served as president and chief executive officer, while Michael Farmer served as vice president of sales and marketing.

Unlike party-plan companies that supplied finished candles, CandleWealth sold candle-making kits, wax, fragrances, jars, and related supplies that allowed associates to manufacture their own candles. Its principal material was branded NV-Soy, meaning Natural Vegetable Soy wax, which the company promoted as a cleaner-burning alternative to petroleum-based paraffin wax. Associates sold their finished candles through home parties, craft fairs, farmers markets, trade shows, and direct customer relationships.

CandleWealth combined the candle-making business with a multilevel compensation program known as the S.U.M. compensation plan. Associates could earn immediate retail income from the candles they produced and sold, fast-start commissions when they enrolled new associates, monthly residual commissions from their organizations, and participation in bonus pools. Historical promotional materials placed substantial emphasis on recruiting additional candle makers alongside retail product sales.

CandleWealth International was also a publicly quoted over-the-counter company under the trading symbol CWNN during the mid-2000s, although its shares had minimal reported market value and trading activity. Public evidence of the company largely disappears after the late 2000s.

Care Entrée no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Care Entrée is no longer active as an independent network-marketing company. Its parent company, Access Plans, Inc., was acquired by Aon Affinity in June 2012, and CareEntree.com no longer operates as an active representative-enrollment or healthcare-discount website.

Original Npros business profile for Care Entrée, preserved below for archival purposes:

Care Entrée was established as a medical-discount membership program and later became a subsidiary and principal brand of Access Plans USA, Inc., formerly known as Precis, Inc. Care Entrée merged into the publicly traded Precis corporate structure in June 2001. The company was based in the Dallasââ'¬"Fort Worth area and marketed non-insurance healthcare savings plans to individuals, families, employers and affinity groups.

The programs provided negotiated discounts through participating healthcare-provider networks. Depending on the membership selected, benefits could include discounts on physicians, hospitals, dental care, prescription drugs, vision services, hearing aids, chiropractic care, alternative healthcare and other ancillary services. Care Entrée did not pay members' medical bills and was not health insurance; members remained responsible for paying providers after the contracted discount was applied. Monthly family memberships generally ranged from $9.95 to $99.95, plus an enrollment fee of up to $30, although third-party marketers sometimes charged as much as $120 per month.

Care Entrée distributed its plans through independent marketing representatives using a multilevel compensation structure. Representatives paid a $99.95 enrollment fee and a $49.95 annual renewal fee. They generally earned a recurring 20% commission on the monthly membership fees paid by customers they personally enrolled, for as long as the customer remained active and the representative stayed qualified. Representatives could recruit additional marketers and receive override commissions through seven levels. The company reported that ongoing commissions, overrides and bonus-pool contributions could total as much as 55% of qualified membership sales.

Carico International is a Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based direct-selling company founded in 1967 by Richard R. Cappadona. The company's name is derived from "Character in Company," and its long-running slogan is "Carico is Forever." Carico built its business around premium household, health, wellness, and lifestyle products, with operations centered at the Carico Center near Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport.

Carico's product line includes water-filtration systems, air-purification systems, cookware, food-storage products, cutlery, china, tableware, steamers, juicers, mattresses, and related household wellness products. The company has traditionally positioned its products around healthier living, cleaner water and air, better sleep, quality construction, product longevity, and in-home demonstrations.

Carico operates through a direct-selling model using independent retail sales representatives, consultants, and distributors. Sales representatives promote Carico products directly to consumers, often through presentations, referrals, demonstrations, and relationship-based selling. Current company materials continue to support consultant and distributor logins, recruiting for retail independent sales reps, training, management development, commission-based income, incentives, recognition, and advancement opportunities.

Cash Texts no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for Cash Texts, preserved below for archival purposes:

CashTexts was a mobile-advertising and referral-marketing company launched in August 2011. The business was co-founded by Kenny Gardner and Kristian Hoenicke, with Hoenicke initially serving as president. Atticus Killough later served as president and described the company as operating in the United States and Canada. Unlike a conventional product-based direct-selling company, CashTexts connected advertisers with consumers who agreed to receive promotional text messages containing coupons and offers from restaurants, retailers, entertainment businesses and other merchants.

Membership was free. Participants completed demographic and interest profiles and could select when and how frequently they wanted to receive promotional messages. CashTexts advertised payments of five cents for each qualifying text received, with a maximum of five paid messages per day. Members who accumulated at least $5 were paid through a branded prepaid debit card. Because the number of messages depended on advertiser demand and demographic targeting, many participants received substantially fewer than five messages per day.

CashTexts also used a five-level unilevel referral structure. Members received additional payments when people in their referral organizations received advertising messages, extending through five levels. The company also offered commissions for referring businesses that purchased mobile-advertising campaigns. Compensation therefore came from advertising revenue and referral activity rather than participant enrollment fees or purchases of a proprietary product.

The company encountered difficulties attracting enough advertisers to support its promised message volume. In March 2012, CashTexts announced that Gardner and Hoenicke were stepping away from corporate management. Gardner reportedly left while undergoing treatment for throat cancer, while Hoenicke left to pursue local marketing ventures and attend to family matters. Killough continued with CashTexts through August 2013.

Celebrating Home Direct is still active, but it is no longer operating as the old MLM/party-plan opportunity. The current site is an ecommerce store selling candles, home fragrance, décor, wall art, stoneware, and related home products.

Celestial Harvest no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for Celestial Harvest, preserved below for archival purposes:

Celestial Harvest is no longer active as a direct-selling company. Celestial Harvest was a Boulder, Colorado-based home-grocery and direct-selling business led by Frederick J. Weih, who served as president. The company operated from 2450 Central Avenue, Suite C-2, Boulder, Colorado 80301. Weih had spent years developing alternative home-grocery shopping systems, beginning with Harvest America and later operating several variations of the concept. His later corporate biography specifically identified Celestial Harvest as the natural and organic version of his grocery-delivery model and his first Internet-based grocery operation in Colorado.

Celestial Harvest marketed natural, organic and whole-food grocery products for home purchase and delivery rather than conventional MLM products such as nutritional supplements or cosmetics. The concept was an early attempt to combine online ordering with direct-to-consumer grocery distribution. Npros' historical listing categorized the company under food and identified its product line simply as "Whole Foods," while Weih's later business history more specifically described Celestial Harvest as his natural-and-organic grocery model.

Celestial Harvest was connected to Weih's broader experimentation with direct-to-consumer grocery distribution. His later business history traces the progression from Harvest America, an early mail-order/store-pick grocery model in New York, to The Grocery Club in Arizona, then Celestial Harvest in Colorado, followed by later versions including My Harvest America and M

Changes International no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for Changes International, preserved below for archival purposes:

founded in 1994 by Scott and Terry Paulson in Destin, Florida. The company sold vitamins, herbal formulas, weight-management products and other dietary supplements, including its flagship Thermo-Lift formula. Changes International marketed the products through independent distributors who could earn retail commissions and build sales organizations by recruiting and supporting other distributors.

Twinlab Corporation acquired Changes International in November 1997, marking Twinlab's entry into multilevel marketing. Twinlab paid approximately $7.8 million in cash plus 310,000 shares valued at about $6 million at the time, putting the transaction's initial value at roughly $13.8 million. Scott Paulson remained president and Terry Paulson remained vice president after the acquisition. Under Twinlab, Changes International generated net sales of $51.3 million in 1998, $47 million in 1999 and $38.1 million in 2000. Twinlab subsequently sold Changes International and its PR*Nutrition division together for $5 million as both businesses experienced declining sales.

The Changes International operation was later folded into Goldshield Elite, and some former Changes products continued under the Goldshield Elite name.

Charmelle no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for Charmelle, preserved below for archival purposes:

Charmelle, Inc. was founded in San Francisco in 1995 as a European-influenced fashion-jewelry company. Joakim Silvanderson served as the company's chief executive and co-owner, while Lisbeth Silvandersson was also identified as an owner and chairman. Alfredo Casuso has described himself as one of the company's cofounders. Charmelle operated from addresses on Townsend Street and later Freelon Street in San Francisco and developed sales operations extending beyond the United States.

The company marketed costume jewelry and fashion accessories for women and men. Its collections included necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings and coordinated accessory pieces, with designs plated in gold, silver or rhodium and finished by hand. Some collections also incorporated sterling silver and precious or semiprecious stones. Products were sold through catalogs, individual customer orders, consultant websites and home-party presentations.

Independent Charmelle consultants purchased products at a discount and earned the difference between their wholesale cost and the retail selling price. Contemporary descriptions stated that new consultants received a 40% product discount, while some accounts placed potential retail profit at 40% to 50%. The reported enrollment package cost approximately $75. Charmelle also used a four-level network-marketing compensation structure that paid commissions on organizational sales, along with product-based training awards, sponsorship bonuses and recognition programs. Promotional descriptions referenced a special override for consultants who sponsored ten people and car or platinum-club recognition for sellers producing more than $100,000 in sales, although no company income disclosure establishing typical consultant earnings was located.

Chartreuse is a direct sales company offering earth-friendly products at reasonable prices. The company’s products include shopping bags, organic personal care, baby and cleaning products. Chartreuse is a member of the DSA.

Chartreuse products are sold through a network of consultants who are trained to help consumers find ways to lighten their impact on the planet by conserving resources and reducing toxins and pollutants. Chartreuse Eco-Party hostesses choose a theme such as Organic Baby Care, Spa Parties, Go Green Save Green, and Righteous Reusables. Hostesses receive credit for free product and 50% off a Distinctive Green Gift Set, based on total sales at the party.

Chaume no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Chaumé is no longer operating as a direct-selling company. The Wisconsin handbag business launched in 2012 and ceased operating by approximately mid-2014.

Original Npros business profile for Chaume, preserved below for archival purposes:

Chaumé was a Green Bay, Wisconsin-area handbag and fashion-accessories company co-founded by Amanda Rhodes and Mollie Thiry. Development of the business began during 2011, followed by its formal direct-selling launch in 2012. Rhodes was responsible for designing and developing the company's products, while both founders managed the business as a home-party and relationship-based sales operation.

The company specialized in fashion tote bags that could be updated with interchangeable straps, embellishments and other accessories. Its catalog also included canvas tote sets, insulated fashion bags, handbags, cosmetic cases and wallets. The concept allowed customers to change the appearance or function of a bag without purchasing an entirely new handbag. Chaumé received national exposure in a December 2012 Forbes article covering handbag styles and interchangeable accessories.

Chaumé sold its products through independent representatives known as Stylists. Stylists conducted home and social selling events, operated personalized affiliate pages and could recruit and lead teams of additional representatives. Hostesses received product credits, half-price merchandise and other discounts based on party sales. The use of team development, sponsored representatives and replicated sales pages made Chaumé a multilevel party-plan company rather than a single-level retail affiliate program.

Chef Specialties Company does not appear to be active as a direct sales company.

Chef Specialties is a family-owned American manufacturer of pepper mills, salt mills and other spice-grinding products founded in 1940 in Detroit, Michigan.

Chef Specialties provides a lifetime guarantee on the grinding mechanisms used in its pepper and salt mills.

Chews-4-Health International was based in Wilmington, North Carolina, and sold chewable dietary supplements through an MLM/affiliate-style model.

ChicBoutique at Home no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

ChicBoutique at Home was a fashion and accessories direct-selling company associated with the former domain ChicBoutiqueAtHome.com. Founded by Janette Stoll, the company sold versatile clothing, handbags, jewelry, and accessories through a home-party format. Its concept was built around bringing a semi-upscale mobile boutique experience into the home, with customers shopping in a relaxed social setting rather than sitting through a formal presentation.

The company marketed itself as a different kind of direct-sales fashion business, emphasizing “no boring presentation,” a fun girlfriends’ shopping atmosphere, and an opportunity for women who wanted to run a boutique-style business from home. Its product mix included everyday fashion, handbags, jewelry, and accessories, positioned as a complete mobile retail boutique rather than a single-product home-party line.

ChicBoutique at Home no longer operates as an active direct-selling company in any meaningful public-facing way. The former ChicBoutiqueAtHome.com domain no longer serves an active company site, and no current consultant enrollment program, product catalog, replicated-rep system, or compensation plan was found.

Cierra Ashley no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Cierra Ashley is no longer operating a functioning party-plan or multilevel sales opportunity.

Original Npros business profile for Cierra Ashley, preserved below for archival purposes:

Cierra Ashley was an Idaho-based home-fragrance company launched in 2008 under Cierra Ashley LLC and the related 2MB LLC. The Cierra Ashley trademark was first used commercially on July 1, 2008, and covered air fresheners, room deodorizers, fragrance diffusers, distributorship services and shop-at-home parties. Deborah "Debbie" Merrill was identified as the company's owner and vice president. The business was headquartered in the Idaho Falls area and initially expanded through Independent Advisors in states including Idaho, Utah, California, Colorado and Florida.

The company specialized in decorative fragrance fans that dispersed scented oil through natural evaporation rather than candles, heated wax or lightbulbs. Wicks drew fragrance oil from a reservoir while a small fan circulated the scent through a room. Its catalog offered more than 55 fragrance choices, along with large, small and economy diffusers, fragrance refills, hanging air fresheners, fragrance blocks, spill-proof mini refills and room sprays. Cierra Ashley also operated the "Cierra for Life" program, which supported the Alliance for Lupus Research.

Cierra Ashley obtained U.S. Patent No. 8,876,086 for a fragrance-emitting apparatus developed by Eric Kent Burke and Deborah M. Merrill. The patent application was filed on February 16, 2012, and the patent was granted on November 4, 2014. The design used an internal air mover and a Venturi-style outlet to draw air across a fragrance source and disperse the resulting scented airflow.

Products were marketed through home parties, catalogs, personalized websites and direct customer sales. Historical Advisor materials advertised a $99 business opportunity and offered hosts free or discounted merchandise based on party sales. Advisors could also take catalogs into workplaces, conduct fundraisers and sell directly through online storefronts. A complete official compensation plan is no longer publicly available, so the company's former retail commission percentages, leadership bonuses and downline-payment structure cannot be reliably confirmed.

Cierra Ashley is no longer active as a party-plan or MLM opportunity.

CityWorth no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

CityWorth was founded in Fairfax, Virginia, in August 2011 by mortgage-industry executive David Shumway. The company officially launched its first local promotion on January 24, 2012, presenting itself as a daily-deals platform that combined elements of Groupon-style local promotions, social networking, and network marketing. CityWorth initially operated in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area and announced plans to expand into ten additional metropolitan markets before the end of 2012.

CityWorth arranged discounted offers from restaurants, retailers, service providers, and other local businesses. Independent participants, known as CityWorth Connectors, created customer databases from their personal and social-media contacts and promoted CityWorth daily deals to those consumers. Connectors earned commissions when people in their customer database purchased a promoted deal. Participants could also become CityWorth Business Connectors by recruiting local merchants to provide offers, earning additional commissions when those merchants deals were sold.

Claudia Jean Collection no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for Claudia Jean Collection, preserved below for archival purposes:

The business was founded by Claudia Jean Dutro-Nelson and traces its commercial history to October 31, 1996, when she began using the Claudia Jean name for a shop-at-home clothing service. Its original specialty was women's clothing designed for senior customers, sold at retirement communities, assisted-living facilities, nursing homes, adult day-care centers and home parties. Dutro-Nelson registered the CLAUDIA JEAN SENIOR SIZING trademark for dresses, skirts, blouses, slacks, sweaters, jackets, turtlenecks and vests. The senior-oriented business operated initially from Vancouver, Washington.

The business subsequently evolved into the broader Claudia Jean Collection. A trademark application for THE CLAUDIA JEAN COLLECTION was filed in December 2002 for women's clothing, and by 2004 Dutro-Nelson was expanding the brand into a more complete fashion and accessories line. Trademark applications from that period covered shirts, blouses, pants, skirts, shoes, socks, shorts, hats, scarves and belts, as well as purses, wallets, watches, earrings, bracelets, rings, necklaces and other jewelry. By this stage the company was based in Southern California and was marketing clothing to a broader female audience rather than concentrating exclusively on seniors.

Claudia Jean promoted comfortable, coordinated women's fashions designed around fit, flattering colors and versatile fabrics. The company's sales representatives were known as Image Coaches, who provided customers with personal styling assistance and wardrobe recommendations. Products were sold through home parties and personal fashion consultations, with Dutro-Nelson also offering appointments from a Carlsbad studio. The Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce described the business as providing personal style testing, clothing and accessories both in customers' homes and at its studio.

Clever Container no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Clever Container discontinued its consultant-based direct-selling program in December 2018.

Original Npros business profile for Clever Container, preserved below for archival purposes:

Clever Container was a home-organization direct-selling company founded by Karen Eschebach and Jennifer Weaver in the Detroit area. The business began in 2006 after the two women tested a small selection of organizing products at a vendor show. Eschebach brought experience as a professional organizer, while Weaver had worked as a Pampered Chef consultant. They initially operated from Weaver's basement and expanded after attracting interest from prospective consultants across the United States. In 2010, Chicago-area investors placed $250,000 into the company, helping it move into warehouse space, establish an online ordering system, and develop a larger compensation plan. By 2012, Clever Container reported approximately 900 consultants and projected annual sales of about $2 million.

The company sold storage and organization products for kitchens, closets, offices, craft rooms, children's rooms, automobiles, travel, laundry, and general household use. Its catalog included totes, baskets, drawer organizers, food-storage products, shelving accessories, travel bags, filing systems, and other products intended to reduce household clutter. A later company profile reported more than 3,000 consultants and 216 products, with projected annual sales of approximately $3 million.

Clever Container used a party-plan sales model, referring to its in-home demonstrations as "Workshops." Independent consultants earned retail commissions on personal sales and could recruit and manage teams of additional consultants. Historic versions of the compensation plan paid a base retail commission of approximately 20% to 25%, with higher percentages available after reaching monthly personal-sales thresholds. Qualified leaders could also earn unilevel commissions on team sales, rank bonuses, and mentoring bonuses connected to newly recruited consultants. Starter-kit prices varied over the company's operating history and were commonly advertised between $49 and $149.

ClickIncomes.com no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for ClickIncomes.com, preserved below for archival purposes:

ClickIncomes.com was a San Diego-area Internet business opportunity founded in 1999 during the rapid expansion of advertising-supported and "get paid to surf" Internet businesses. Direct-selling executive Scott Kufus later identified himself as one of the founders and said he wrote the company's business and compensation plans. The operation was subsequently led by J. Stewart Borie, President, with Matt Morrow serving as Director of Marketing.

ClickIncomes combined Internet portals, website services and paid online activity. Kufus described the concept as allowing Internet users to earn money by clicking through participating websites, with advertising and e-commerce revenue supporting the compensation system. The company's April 2000 trademark application gives a broader picture of the platform: ClickIncomes planned to provide website-development tools, website hosting, multiple-user Internet access to shopping, information and entertainment sites, chat rooms, electronic bulletin boards, online databases and graphic-design services. The trademark claimed first commercial use on April 10, 2000.

ClickIncomes was promoted through a direct-sales/network-marketing compensation program rather than solely as a conventional Internet portal. Kufus specifically states that he developed the compensation plan and describes the company as an "online click through direct sales" business. Matt Morrow brought substantial network-marketing experience to the company, including previous work building a WebTV distributor organization.

Close To My Heart no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Close To My Heart, a Utah-based direct-sales papercrafting company, closed as an independent business in 2024. Its founder, Jeanette R. Lynton, announced on February 27, 2024, that Close To My Heart would cease operations effective June 30, 2024. The stated reasons included her health, modest but insufficient profitability, lack of long-term growth, personal subsidizing of business losses, and broader economic/business challenges. Makers continued earning commissions through April 30, 2024, with final commission payments scheduled for mid-May, followed by liquidation of remaining inventory.

Close To My Heart’s business did not continue under the same brand as a stand-alone MLM/direct-selling company. A transition arrangement with Stampin’ Up! gave former Close To My Heart Makers a path into Stampin’ Up!’s demonstrator network, and Stampin’ Up! later offered limited quantities of Close To My Heart products while supplies lasted.

Close To My Heart was a direct-sales papercrafting company based in Pleasant Grove, Utah. The company traced its roots to founder Jeanette R. Lynton's decorative-stamp business in the 1980s, later developing through D.O.T.S. and the Close To My Heart brand. Close To My Heart became known for scrapbooking, stamping, cardmaking, albums, coordinating paper collections, inks, embellishments, project kits, and its clear polymer My AcrylixÃ'® stamps.

The company operated through an independent salesforce known as Consultants and later Makers, who promoted Close To My Heart products through home parties, workshops, classes, customer websites, events, and online sales. The opportunity centered on retail sales of papercrafting products, product discounts, commissions, team-building, leadership advancement, recognition, training, and incentive opportunities.

Close To My Heart is no longer active as an independent direct-selling company. Founder and CEO Jeanette R. Lynton announced on February 27, 2024, that the company would cease operations effective June 30, 2024. In the announcement, Lynton cited health concerns, limited long-term growth, modest profitability, personal subsidizing of losses, and economic/business challenges. Makers earned commissions through April 30, 2024, with final commission payments scheduled for mid-May, and the company then moved into liquidation of remaining inventory.

After the shutdown announcement, Close To My Heart worked with Stampin' Up! on a transition path for Makers. Stampin' Up! welcomed many former Close To My Heart Makers into its demonstrator community and later sold limited quantities of Close To My Heart products while supplies lasted. The Close To My Heart brand therefore ended as a stand-alone direct-sales business, while portions of its product legacy and salesforce transitioned into Stampin' Up!'s papercrafting ecosystem.

Coastal Vacations no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for Coastal Vacations, preserved below for archival purposes:

Coastal Vacations was a travel-discount and vacation-membership business opportunity associated with founder Fred Combs. The program was promoted for many years through independent directors and online marketing systems, with older materials connecting the business to N.B. Management and listing a Kissimmee/Orlando, Florida presence. Coastal Vacations marketed access to travel-related discounts, vacation certificates, resort stays, cruises, and membership packages rather than operating as a traditional travel agency.

The company's product offering centered on packaged travel-discount memberships sold in multiple levels. Older Coastal Vacations materials described Level I, Level II, and Level III packages, with package pricing that included $1,295 for the Level I package, $3,995 for the Level I/II Premier package, $7,500 for the Level III package alone, and $11,000 for the full Platinum package. The packages were promoted as lifetime travel memberships with access to discounted vacation benefits, resort stays, cruises, travel certificates, and related travel savings.

Coastal Vacations used a network-marketing-style business-opportunity model built around independent directors, replicated marketing systems, training calls, lead generation, and package sales. Opportunity materials described a 2-up structure in which new participants had to pass up their first two training sales before qualifying to keep commissions at their package level. Published representative materials listed commissions of $1,000 on Level I sales, $3,200 on Premier package sales, and $9,705 on Platinum package sales.

CoffeeFair no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for CoffeeFair, preserved below for archival purposes:

CoffeeFair was a California-based gourmet coffee and tea company launched in late 2003 and early 2004 using a network marketing sales model. The company was already recruiting distributors during a pre-launch promotion in December 2003, advertising free enrollment and "multiple streams of income." In January 2004, an individual identified as Howard who was developing the company described CoffeeFair as a new online coffee business preparing to sell fair-trade coffee, tea and chocolate. By April 2004, distributors were actively promoting CoffeeFair products and replicated CoffeeFair storefronts online.

CoffeeFair specialized in fresh-roasted gourmet coffee, tea and chocolate, with a strong emphasis on socially responsible coffee sourcing. Distributor promotions described single-origin, shade-grown and fair-trade coffees sourced from coffee-growing regions around the world. Coffee was promoted as being roasted in small batches when an order was received and shipped within approximately 24 to 36 hours of roasting. One documented blend was the 5/4 Blend. The company marketed its coffee as fair trade, although surviving distributor material indicates that the products did not carry a conventional Fair Trade certification logo, so the products are more accurately described as marketed as fair-trade-sourced rather than documented as Fair Trade Certified.

Cognigen Networks, Inc no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company. Last update Monday, June 29, 2026

Cognigen Networks was a telecommunications and internet-marketing company that sold communications and personal-technology services through a web-based agent and affiliate sales model. The company operated through direct and indirect sales channels and later acquired Commission River, an online marketing and distribution platform that used independent agents, affiliate groups, and customized websites to market telecom services and related products.

The original Cognigen opportunity no longer appears active. Cognigen Networks changed its name to BayHill Capital Corporation in 2008, and BayHill sold its interest in Commission River in 2010, effectively leaving the company without business operations. The public-company shell later changed direction, becoming Agricon Global Corporation in 2012 and eventually moving through additional corporate pivots. Current references to Cognigen generally relate to Cognigen Corporation, a pharmacometrics consulting business acquired by Simulations Plus, and not to the former telecom/affiliate-sales opportunity.

Original Npros business profile for Cognigen Networks, Inc, preserved below for archival purposes:

Color Me Beautiful traces its roots to Carole Jackson's early-1980s color-analysis system and the bestselling Color Me Beautiful: Discover Your Natural Beauty Through Color, which popularized seasonal color analysis built around Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter palettes. The company later expanded that concept into coordinated cosmetics, skin care, color-analysis tools, swatches, and consultant-led personal image services. Its current site says Color Me Beautiful has helped more than 26 million women identify flattering shades and continues to market products around seasonal color palettes.

Color Me Beautiful remains active as a beauty and image-consulting brand. Current product categories include makeup, skin care, foundations, concealers, primers, eye products, lip products, seasonal palettes, color-analysis tools, AI color analysis, and related accessories. The company also operates alongside related brands including Flori Roberts, Adrien Arpel, and Gale Hayman Beverly Hills; Flori Roberts' own site states that it is sold almost exclusively through Color Me Beautiful's direct-selling and mall-kiosk entrepreneurs.

Color Street is a Totowa, New Jersey-based beauty and direct-selling company founded as an independent brand in 2017 by Fa Park. Park's underlying nail-strip technology dates to 1988, when he began developing real nail-polish strips after seeing a woman painting her nails in a New York City taxi. The company states that its technology uses 100% real liquid nail polish transformed into a dry nail strip with a base, color, and top coat in one application. Color Street reports more than 70 patents, more than $2 billion in sales, and more than 200 million Color Street packages sold.

The company's flagship product is its real nail-polish strip, marketed as a fast, mess-free, dry-to-the-touch manicure product that can be applied at home and removed with ordinary polish remover. Color Street has expanded beyond nail strips into hand and nail care, pedicure products, lip products, eye cosmetics, face cosmetics, makeup removers, makeup brushes, and beauty bundles. Its current website also promotes rotating seasonal nail collections, premium makeup, hand and nail care, and the Color Play Club monthly product program.

Color Street uses a direct-selling model built around independent Stylists. Stylists sell through personal websites, social media, parties, customer relationships, and beauty events. In 2025, Color Street shifted to a simplified compensation plan and a broader omnichannel strategy, replacing a more complex 18-rank generational structure with a plan more heavily focused on personal sales and directly connected seller communities.

Comforts of Home no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for Comforts of Home, preserved below for archival purposes:

Comforts of Home was a Germantown, Wisconsin-based home décor party-plan company founded in 1981 by Helen Aiken. Aiken began the business by making home decorations from her home, and the company operated for many years as Wicker Plus, Ltd. before adopting the Comforts of Home name. Historical company materials described Comforts of Home as a family-oriented home-party company supported by independent Consultants and Directors, along with its office and warehouse staff. Wicker Plus was an established direct seller by the 1990s and was included on a Direct Selling Association membership roster with its product category listed as decorative accessories.

The company sold decorative home accessories and household décor, with the earlier Wicker Plus product line including decorative wicker and country-style home accessories. Surviving Wicker Plus merchandise includes decorative stoneware and kitchen pieces, while contemporary industry directories categorized the company broadly under decorative accessories. Following the transition to the Comforts of Home name, the product emphasis remained home décor and accessories sold through personal presentations and home parties.

Comforts of Home operated through a party-plan direct-sales model using independent Consultants and field Directors. Consultants conducted home presentations and sold products directly to customers, while the Director structure supported development and management of the sales organization.

Conklin operates as a multi-level marketing (MLM) and direct-sales network. They do not sell their products in traditional retail stores. Instead, their inventory of over 130 products is sold exclusively through a nationwide network of Independent Distributors. These distributors earn money both through direct product sales and by recruiting new distributors into their sales hierarchy.

From Corporate Site: "With Conklin, you have the freedom to generate business anywhere in the United States. We offer you a solid management structure that allows for both personal and professional growth, and training programs for every stage of your business development."

Cookie Lee Inc no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company. Last update Wednesday, June 24, 2026

Original Npros business profile for Cookie Lee Inc, preserved below for archival purposes:

Cookie Life was a California-based health and weight-management company headquartered in El Cajon. The company marketed its products through the home-business and direct-selling market and operated from 1610 N. Magnolia Avenue, Suite A, El Cajon, California 92020.

Cookie Life centered its product line on a nutritional meal-replacement cookie designed for consumers interested in weight management and convenient portion-controlled meals. The company promoted the cookie as its primary product rather than offering the extensive supplement and personal-care catalogs commonly associated with larger nutritional direct-selling companies.

The company also offered a home-based business opportunity through which independent representatives could market Cookie Life products. Surviving information about the opportunity does not provide enough detail to establish the complete compensation structure, including whether commissions extended through multiple generations of distributors.

Country Gourmet Home no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for Country Gourmet Home, preserved below for archival purposes:

Country Gourmet Home was a family-owned gourmet-food direct-selling company based in Richmond, Utah. The business existed in an earlier form by 2005, but Shane and Amy Beth Pitcher took ownership in 2010 after developing a home business selling wax melts and food mixes. Amy Beth Pitcher was later identified in Richmond city records as the operator associated with the company's food-production business.

The company sold easy-to-prepare gourmet food mixes designed to require only one or two additional ingredients. Its catalog included dip and seasoning blends, breads, cookies, cupcakes, desserts, soups, dinner and side-dish mixes, salad dressings, sauces, jams, syrups, pancakes, muffins, smoothies and beverages. Country Gourmet Home also sold wickless wax melts in food-inspired fragrances.

Independent consultants marketed the products through home parties, catalog orders, online storefronts and direct customer sales. Hosts earned free or discounted merchandise beginning with qualifying party sales as low as $50. Historical opportunity listings placed consultant starter options between approximately $5.75 and $69, with personal-sales commissions generally ranging from 25% to 30% and organizational overrides of approximately 1% to 5%.
