“A part-time Melaleuca business can provide the
retirement income thousands need to have better security
during their retirement years. ”—MCKAY CHRISTENSEN
buy Melaleuca products. If you were to
buy those products when you are a new
customer as part of the Value Pack, then
you would save more than $200 when
compared to the national brands. In short,
you can help the average household save
money when they shop at Melaleuca.
What Melaleuca’s Done to Help:
Recently, Melaleuca established a $120
guarantee for Directors. So, if after
reaching Director your personal enrollee
does nothing else, as a Director they are
guaranteed to earn at least $120 per
month. That pays for their products every
month. There are great rewards for getting
to Director quickly at Melaleuca.

Economic Condition—Rising Prices:
Despite the slow down in energy inflation,
the overall inflation rate remains at a
17-year high. Food prices continue to
increase. Kraft announced a 12–13 percent
price increase this year and Kellogg,
ConAgra, and Tyson are also planning on
increases. Dow Chemical announced a price
increase of 20 percent. A few months ago
at the National Association for Business
Economics (NABE) annual meeting, 35
percent of business said their firms raised
prices in the latest quarter. A record 75
percent of respondents reported paying
more for materials in the past quarter and
more than 77 percent expect prices to
increase in the future. So, the bottom line
is the price of grocery store products will
continue to increase.

Opportunity: Now, more than ever,
households are looking for savings. We sent
a group of price shoppers to Albertsons,
Walmart, Target and several other stores
recently to compare prices of national
retail brands to Melaleuca products. If
you took all the products included in the
Value Pack, for example, and compared the
Preferred Customer price of those products

national brands, you save $96 when you
What Melaleuca’s Done to Help: At
the end of last year, based on the emerging
economic conditions, Melaleuca established
a one-of-a-kind value proposition for new
customers called Loyalty Shopping Dollars.
In this tough economy, no company
anywhere gives $100 just for trying their
products. Use this Loyalty Shopping Dollar
program as your example of how our
company moved in this economy to provide

Esther and Scott Littlefield
Directors VI
Maine
Esther and Scott make about $900 per
month with their Melaleuca business,
which has come at the perfect time for
their family. Since January, they have
advanced from Director IV to Director VI.
“We’re expecting our first child
soon, and the extra income is helping
us as we purchase all the things you
need for the baby,” Esther says. “Even
in today’s economy, we’ve also been
able to do a lot of extra work on our
100-year-old home. We’ve always
wanted to do these projects, but didn’t
want to put it on the credit card. And
in addition to all this, we’ve used the
income to start paying off debt and help
me transition from full-time employment
to part-time.”
Developing new Directors has
come easier to Esther because she
has a schedule and works during the
times she says she will. “You have
to be consistent in your activities. I
treat this like a business because it
is a business,” she says. “You have
to constantly look for new business
builders who are excited to earn
income, which is how you grow your
business.”
