Vemma - The Product

Vemma is delicious. My plan is to do a 30 day trial and to determine if the product makes me feel any different. I have also given a little thought to benefits of a liquid supplement for children.

I started to do some research on the Vemma product and here is the corporate information:

Mangosteen, known as the "Queen of all fruits" has been used for centuries by Asian health practitioners for its nutritional benefits and delicious flavor. Combine the antioxidant rich power of mangosteen with plant-sourced minerals, aloe and green tea and you've created the ultimate nutritional foundation. Introducing the Vemma Nutrition Program – Essential For Life! It's now well known that taking multivitamins with minerals on a daily basis is vital for long-term optimal health. The Vemma Nutrition Program provides two powerful liquid formulas that make it easy to get the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants you need to form a solid nutritional foundation. Each product is bioavailable (body-ready), delicious and easy to take!

In your Vemma Nutrition Program you'll receive a 32oz bottle of Mangosteen Plus and a 32oz bottle of Kiwi-Strawberry Essential Minerals®. Fill your Vemma™ shot glass (included in your program) half full with Mangosteen Plus and fill the rest with Essential Minerals for your daily power shot. Who knew taking care of your body could be so easy?

Saturday's finally here!

OK, so I had a rough week at work and it made me realize how much I'd like to be my own boss. This vision will certainly help me drive my business.

I bought a few redirect URLs this weekend to help advertise my Vemma site:

• http://www.vemmabrett.com
• http://www.learnvemma.com
• http://www.vemmawinner.com

If you click on the links, the first two will take you to my the site provided by Vemma. However, the third link is another attempt at marketing the Vemma idea to people who are solely interested in growing a business and care a little less about their health.

I'll post more later. I need to go to the gym!

Vemma - Communication

I received two emails from Vemma corporate today.

Email one was from customer service:

Thank you for your recent order with Vemma! Your order has been received and is being processed. We are pleased you have chosen to shop with us and know that you will be pleased with our quality-guaranteed Vemma Nutrition Program.

The other email was a welcome message from Vemma President and CEO, BK Boreyko:

Congratulations on your decision to join the Vemma Team! You have taken the all-important first step that can lead to an extraordinary life for you and your family. I'd also like to take this opportunity to introduce my two wonderful sisters Lauren and Karen. They're co-owners of Vemma and I know you'll love them when you meet them at the next event.

My commitment to you is that our Home Office Team will work hard every day to meet and exceed your expectations of us. Our job is to help you make your goals and dreams a reality. It is in this spirit of partnership that motivates us each day to provide you with the very best service, support, tools, systems and training available.

The email goes on to talk a little about the product and free marketing website. Then BK takes a minute to remind us (Vemma Members) not to keep this a secret and invite people to our websites

The Vemma Compensation Plan

There are 3 ways to earn compensation with Vemma:

1. Retail Sales - The enroller of each customer would receive a Customer Bonus of $16 for the first order and $8 for every additional order shipment when one Vemma Nutrition Program is purchased, $32 for the first order and $16 for every additional order when the two pack is purchased, or $50 for the first order and $30 for each additional shipment when the Family Pack is purchased.

2. Team Building Income - Consistency Bonus: On every order of your personally enrolled member's Autoship orders, you, as the enroller, will be eligible to receive a $5 Consistency Bonus on orders of one Vemma Nutrition Program, a $10.00 Consistency Bonus on orders of two Vemma Nutrition Programs, or a $50 Consistency Bonus on orders of the Family Pack if you are active and have qualified your membership.

Cycle Bonus: At the end of each volume period (week) , the Vemma computer searches down your left and right groups and whenever three sales in one line and six sales in the opposite line occur (sides can switch back and forth), you are eligible to earn a Cycle Bonus of approximately $20. You can cycle as many times a pay period as you earn! You must have an active membership , and have qualified your membership to earn this bonus.

Enroller Matching Bonus: This unique feature of our pay plan allows you to be eligible for a 10% matching bonus on all of your personally enrolled member's Cycle Bonuses! To qualify for the Enroller Matching Bonus you simply increase your personal Autoship order to two Vemma Nutrition Programs ($120.00) and have four active members ($60) who you personally enrolled within the past 52 weeks.

Second Tier Matching Bonus: Not only can you earn on the people that you personally enrolled, but you are eligible to earn a 10% matching bonus on all of your personal enrollees' personally enrolled member's Cycle Bonuses! When your personal Autoship order is two Vemma Nutrition Programs and you have six active members ($60) who you personally enrolled within the past 52 weeks. The two members used for qualification and the two members used to qualify for the Enroller Matching Bonus will count toward this bonus. Also, the two additional members can be ANYWHERE within your structure.

Instant Sponsor Bonus: For the first sale only, the immediate upline sponsor will receive a $5.00 Instant Sponsor Bonus on their frontline new member's purchases, including purchases of the Family Pack. Subsequent orders will be paid out in the existing Cycle Bonus. Neither activation nor qualification is required for this bonus. This bonus will pay out only once in the lifetime of each member.

Top Producer's Bonus Pool: Each member who enrolls a minimum of $400 in new sales in a volume week will qualify for a pro-rated share of a Bonus Pool made up of a percentage of total Vemma sales volume in that period

3. Global Bonus Pool - Earn even more with these 12 week bonus pools that set aside 2% of overall Vemma sales to encourage team cooperation! To qualify for a share of each bonus pool, you must meet or exceed the cycle requirements listed below for the twelve week period. Each level of this bonus you qualify for also entitles you to a share of the previous bonus pool with the possibility of earning a part of all four pools.

...and the corporate explanation ends....

In MLM-speak, Vemma sports a 6/3 cycle Binary compensation plan with $20 payments per cycle. In semi-english that means you build two "legs", placing business partners in depth under others. The pitch in a business like this is that your upline will build one of your legs, sometimes called a "powerline" or "powerleg", leaving you to focus on placing people in one leg. Obviously we will watch this closely.

The Vemma Experiment - Day 2

The Vemma Experiment is a project to journal about my experience with a Network Marketing start up. The experiment part is the fact that I am doing 100% of the marketing for this new business on this blog. So follow along with the Vemma Experiment, as you and I see if it is possible to build a profitable Network Marketing business by talking about it on a weblog.

Vemma Experiment by the numbers:

To Date Unique Blog Visitors: 52 Average Time of Visit: 1:59

Number of people that went on to watch the Vemma Presentation: 2
Number of customer orders: 0
Number of business sign ups: 0

Total time invested in the Vemma Experiment: 30 Minutes

Total Money Spent: $60 (sign up and first months product autoship including free website)

The Vemma Experiment is not in the top ten pages on Google under Vemma. (I would like to think of other search words to track, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know.)

The Company - Vemma

Vemma, (pronounced vee-mah) is the name of the product and the company that not only launched today but will be at the center of the Vemma Experiment.

Vemma, The Product: A two part liquid nutritional system, Vemma actually stands for Vitamins, Essential Minerals , Mangosteen, and Aloe. Formula one is called Mangosteen Plus, a patent pending antioxidant and multi vitamin formula. Formula two contains 65 minerals necessary for optimal health. Sound too good to pass up? Buy Some!

Vemma, The Company: Vemma is a brand new, ground-floor opportunity from the creators of New Vision, a 10-year-old international leader in health and wellness with over $1 billion in total retail sales.

New Vision has built a solid and dependable company with a great reputation in the networking industry. In an industry that sees a failure rate for start-up companies of over 90% in the first year and over 98% within five years, New Vision is celebrating its tenth year of profitable success. Even more impressive in this industry, New Vision has paid out almost $400 million to its members, without ever being late on delivering royalty checks or promises.

Both New Vision and Vemma are owned by BK Boreyko and his sisters Karen and Lauren. As the children of successful network marketers Ben and Dottie Boreyko, the founders have literally grown up in the industry. At the age of seven, BK began helping his parents in their Amway (now Quixtar) business. By the age of 18, he developed his own Amway distributorship to the PS Direct level. And by his early 30’s he and his family launched the next generation of network marketing — appropriately called New Vision.

(Information taken directly from the corporate website)

The Vemma web presentation titled "Extreme Financial Makeover" can be found here. It's pretty funny, really. I get the feeling that the presentation is making fun of other hype filled presentations.

I will end today's post with my main concern at this time:

Is there really a market for this type of nutritional supplement system outside of people that want to build a Network Marketing business? I spend a lot of my time telling people that the average person would never spend $75 on a bottle of vitamins and now I appear to be marketing a nutritional system that sells for $60 (free shipping for customers). This should be interesting.

Tune in tomorrow for first day website statistics and a quick look at a compensation plan, that some industry people might call a scam.

For more information on Vemma, send an email to vemmabrett-1@yahoo.com. Please keep in mind that I plan on posting all questions and answering them on this site.

Welcome

Welcome to the my Network Marketing experiment. The premise is simple; journal my experience with a well-known Network Marketing company and use this blog as the only means of marketing the product and business.

Before I get into some of the details of this project I want to let others know that I have tried Network Marketing before and was pleased with the results. I will be devoting no more than two hours each week to this blog. More than anything this is an experiment to see what happens if I consistently journal about this new product and business.

The plan is to track as much data as possible. I will post how many hits this site gets, current Google rankings by keyword, and how many people purchase product and sign up for the business on a regular basis. Other posts will contain information directly from the company and some posts will contain my personal observations and opinions.

So tell all your friends and family. The Vemma Experiment is about to begin.
