Multilevel Marketers
Nikken
Nikken is an
MLM company that started in Japan in 1975. Nikken
entered the US market in 1989 and it wasn't until the following
year that a caucasion took a look at the opportunity. It has been
growing rapidly since then. The chief product from Nikken is magnet
theropy
for body pain.
In my opinion,
the payment plan Nikken created is a little
rough around the edges.
and a larger initial investment than most other mlm companies I've been
a member of.
But I've been
told you can join at a intro price of $49.95 for
NIKKEN's sales kit. Now, NIKKEN does recommend that you purchase the
Demo
Pak (so that you can do demonstrations) and the Career Pak (which
contains
alot of the items NIKKEN carries). That's when Nikken starts to get
really
expensive to get involved in.
In my opinion
Nikken reps push the limits of truth as I've
heard some
far fetched claims about what their magnets can do. Some of it really
sounds
made up. And they sell these magnets at an obscene markup.
The company
sold $700 Million last
year in Japan. I wonder what happened to the collapse. Nikken claims to
have 30,000 active distributors in America doing the business.
The idea of
selling magnets is strange, I will admit. I was
very
skeptical when I was first approached by a Nikken distributor and
introduced to the product line.
Be sure to look
in the area about the Nikken career
opportunity. There
is information on the marketing plan, top US distributors, car/home
incentive program, and misc company and opportunity information.
Magnet therapy
at the moment is on
less solid ground as the much quoted (by Nikken) Baylor scientific
study of magnets is being called into
question as possibly false.
I've heard some
interesting things from the Japanese point of
view. Americans are gaining a reputation around the world of being
among the most gullible patsies there are. I think Nikkin is aiming
their alleged miracle alternatives at the same people who buy the
tabloids.
A friend of
mine has been busily selling their products,
essentially a close cousin to refrigerator magnets that will cost you
$25 a pop. But I
believe most refrigerator magnets are much stronger than these. And a
lot less money. Most refrigerator magnets will stick to the side of
your fridge and hold their own weight plus that of the decorative
device glued to them. But I've been told the Nikkin ones won't.
I've seen many
Nikken distributors on the net sniffing out
anyone who has admitted to having any imaginable affliction and will
give them a sales pitch about how her magnets are the magic panacea.
The biggest
problem with Nikken for their distributors to overcome is
the questionable
befefits of their magnets.
