Every so often, a great concept with a great product comes along, and it takes the market by storm. MonaVie, a provider of an all natural fruit drink consisting of the acai berry and 18 additional exotic fruits, has grown faster than nearly any other MLM is US history, but its integrity is being undone by its own distributors.

Several years ago Monarch Industries launched a new product to market called MonaVie. The team they assembled to create the product was second to none. The leadership was a collection of powerhouse multi-level marketing veterans ready to take the US market by storm. The product actually works wonders for people who have a hard time getting their 3-5 servings of fresh fruit a day. (Nearly everyone) The endorsements by people across the country are flat out amazing. Video sites like youtube are loaded with testimonials, as well as the internet chat rooms. The product has been all over the news in nearly every part of the country. Acai has been featured on Oprah and many other shows touting it as the world’s number one super-fruit. You know you are doing something right when advertisers of other products start buying google adsense words with your name in the title to try to get people to look at theirs.

MLM is the method of marketing that Monarch chose to sell their product. It has been proven to be a very effective and profitable method to move a health related product in the US, and it has worked well for them. They became a nearly 700 million dollar company in about 3 years. Very impressive indeed. The concept seems to be simple one: Drink it, feel it, share it. .

For less that $40, an individual can sign up as a distributor of the MonaVie product and market it themselves. They can sell it retail, they can sell it wholesale, and they can sign up additional folks to do the same. With an aggressive compensation plan and tremendous stories of health benefits spreading like wild-fire, it seemed that the sky was the limit. That is, until, MonaVie became unable to keep its own distributors in check. One of the very first stipulations to becoming a distributor is agreeing to never market the MonaVie product through any auction type of website. Ebay, Amazon, and any other similar auction site would be off limits. Although internet marketing is a powerful tool, it has the potential to destroy the “secret wall” that exists with an exclusivity that comes from being a distributor. The walls have now come down and MonaVie’s pricing structure is revealed.

How can you maintain your exponential growth when people interested in trying your product, but don’t want to pay $45 retail for it or $40 to sign up to first become a distributor, can find that MonaVie is available to buy for about $20 on Ebay?

In order to get that type of deep discount going through MonaVie directly, you literally have to buy about $1,000 worth of product, and in some cases, go pick it up yourself. Most people are not ready to buy what would equate to a year supply of juice in advance to get those prices. And why would they when they don’t have to pay to become a member, won’t have the negative perception of being involved in an MLM opportunity, and don’t have to recruit others just to get a good product? And why would they spend $1,000 in bulk when they can buy it a few bottles at a time on Ebay at the same rate?

Why would MonaVie distributors blatantly disobey rules that protect the pricing structure that creates their profit, enhance the value of their product with “exclusivity”, and essentially bite the hand that feeds them? How can they get away with it if the penalty is losing your distributorship? Obviously it has not been enforced. Obviously greed has taken over, and the “move product at all costs” mentality has pervaded the distributor and management workforce.

At the writing of this article, over 260 auctions for MonaVie will end in the next few days on Ebay alone. Auctions will end that will sell 2-3 bottles of MonaVie product at 48 bottle bulk order “member” prices. Monarch Industry’s inability or unwillingness to enforce their own policies has begun to cripple their own distributors’ ability to market their product with an air of integrity or a straight face. “Why would I pay this much to get it from you when I can get it over here for less? And why would I pay $40 to sign up for a multi-level marketing opportunity if I don’t have to.” And more importantly, “Why would you try to talk me into this when you know I can get it for less over here?” “Do you care about my health, or do you care about the money?”

Monarch has put its own distributors in the crosshairs of a skeptical public. Most Americans have an aversion to buying MLM products due to the fact that past MLM giants have conducted themselves in less than an above board fashion. Although MonaVie’s approach is far from that, how different is it when you can buy it for less online, they know it, but yet continue to insist their own distributors sell it at inflated prices? Integrity is any business is essential to success, and Monarch will need to recapture theirs in order to continue its phenomenal growth.

Our bodies continue to produce free radicals as byproducts of normal metabolic processes and in reply to such environmental factors, such as pollution and radiation.

The best foods to fight against this process should contain antioxidants such as Vitamin C and E and beta carotene. Foods like spinach, blueberries, strawberries and wine are great but Acai berry is even better. Acai berry also plays a significant role combating inflammation.

LillySuccess.blogspot.com read my story. Since the acai berry on oprah became the newest trend on health products many people have been enjoying the acai berry health benefits before that Tv show. This video shows a fox TV station that reviews that acai berry diet and goes through a try it before you buy it review of the acai berry.

This whole system seems crazy to me.

“The MonaVie opportunity and the R3 Global Total Support System to achieving better health and wealth.” Sounds a little crazy don’t you think? I say it is. But again, don’t want to upset anyone, it’s just my opinion.

The MonaVie product is claiming to be number one as a supper food? Brig Hart said these words himself. Who, by the way is an excellent speaker. Humble though isn’t he? MonaVie is a wine like substance, in a wine like bottle that you are to sell to your friends and family.

You will be offering the business opportunity and product to others through the follow acronym: The ITS factor, (Invite, taste and share.) “Make a list of every one you know every where…” Sounds familiar doesn’t it? Let me tell you something, If you are anything like me your reputation with friends and family for testing crazy products and programs on them is pretty bad. The last thing I ever do at this point is try to push or sell stuff to them. They know where to find me if they see me working on something that interests them.

$39.00 to get involved. Then you have the “right” to be able to buy a case of the product again, bottles of some sort of wonder wine at a wholesale price. Then you get signed up on an “AS” (auto ship) so they can continually ship you cases of this stuff. Anything like AA? (Alcoholics anonymous) You buy the MonaVie wine-like product at $32.00 each and then unload it at like $45.00 a piece.

I don’t know, didn’t people catch on to this kind of thing with Am Way years and years ago? At least that was regular products you could use every day or that regular people bought like toilet paper and T.V.s and such.

This system brings back terrifying memories of a drinkable goopy green Aloe Vera gel that I sold with Nutrition for Life. My poor mom still has some of that stuff in a box in the basement along with some other pills and stuff. Sorry mom.

I just can not support Brig Hart or this MonaVie product and selling system. Imagine trying to get people to come over to your house, drink some mystery drink and then actually buy it! THE END.
