Who remembers going to Amway
meetings and the cult leader would be lying about how Amway doesn’t do any
advertising and instead uses the money that would go to an advertising budget
to pay off big commission to IBO’s.
I heard that bullshit at every Scamway meeting I attended.
So who has seen Amway commercials on TV? You don’t usually know its Amway until
the end spot in the commercial. Kind of like going to an Amway meeting where
the cult leader might not say the dreaded A word at all or if admitting this is
an Amway meeting its usually later on in the night.
Who’s been to Amway meetings where the cult leader brags that Amway owns an
arena in Orlando? That’s another lie. Its owned by the city. That Orlando arena
has had other company names on it before Scamway came along. Its called bidding
for advertising and many other cities across our country do similar things with
arenas. In Orlando’s case Amway had its name on the original arena and when the
new arena was built Amway was given first rights to purchase advertising which
they did for $40 million dollars for 10 years. I think, I’m going off memory of
the city’s press release that I read a few years back on the dollar amount.
I mean what the fuck!!!! Amway is shelling out $40 million for advertising
instead of that $40 million going to pay commissions and bonuses to the
commissioned salespeople in their fleet. How does that happen? The cult leaders
at Amway meetings say Amway does not pay for advertising and instead redirects
that advertising budget dollars to IBO commissions and bonuses.
WTF????????!!!!!!!
LIARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if people don’t watch beauty pageants on TV they’re aware they happen.
Many companies pay to get product placement on these shows. There’s a swimsuit
company that pays big bucks for the advertising they get by the contestants
wearing their product. Same thing for the hotels the contestants stay at – they’re
mentioned on the show. Same thing for evening gowns, shoes, and make up the
contestants wear.
Amway liars will show up here and say that Miss America uses Artistry. You don’t
have to be a genius to go to the Miss America website and check out the
sponsors and see or don’t see the companies listed. Amway and Artistry ain’t
listed. Many years ago Amway was a paid sponsor and Ambots who play pretend
business owners like to pretend that Amway is still a sponsor and lie about it.
Amway paid to be a sponsor and then whoever was crowned Miss America got a one
year contract to be their spokesperson. Amway shells out some big bucks for
this advertising. Again what the fuck????!!!!! How can Amway be paying for this
advertising instead of using that money to pay out IBO bonuses and commissions?
Now if you listened to brainwashed Amway ambots they show up here and lie that
Miss America plasters on Amway shit out of the goodness of her heart and the
pageant is the one paying Amway for the honor of having their cosmetics used on
the show. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!Typical Amway lies. And why do dumb
fuck ambots show up here and spout off bullshit like that anyway so everyone
can laugh at them. Do they really think beauty pageants will just allow
companies to flog their wares out of the goodness of their hearts or are they
looking for paid sponsors. And does the woman wearing the crown feel the same
way about Amway Artistry cosmetics if she isn’t getting paid to be a paid
spokesperson. If they told her to buy the overpriced shit and wear it would she
still be doing it or would she tell Amway to go fuck themselves. And then look
for another cosmetics company willing to pay her to be a spokesperson.
We’ve all seen product placement in TV shows and movies. You know where part of
the script someone goes to eat at a real restaurant or shop in a store or stay
at a hotel or is eating or drinking something. The company is paying big bucks
to make that product placement happen. Movie making is all about finding
backers and investors who hope to make back their original investment and then
some. Companies paying for product placement are a win win cause they don’t
have to be paid back.
Someone dropped by to say Amway has paid for product placement in Transformers
for a Nutrilite product. Now that’s fucking disgusting. But if its correct you
can be sure that Amway paid big bucks to advertise their product in the latest
of this series.
But again why is Amway paying out this advertising money instead of paying more
money to their commissioned salesforce?
The next time some lying Amway asshole tells you the fairy tale about how Amway
doesn’t pay for advertising tell them they’re full of shit. Amway pays millions
of dollars in advertising every year.
Amway shells out all that money not for the purpose of selling its products, but just for getting the Amway name out there, in the public eye.
ReplyDeleteOther companies pay for advertising to sell their products. Amway can't do that, because the demand for Amway products is practically nonexistent in the general public. Any serious money made in Amway comes from bilking the IBOs for the forced purchase of products every month. The Amway name on a stadium or a billboard is purely for hype, to get suckers to think that Amway is a big operation, and to entice them to sign up as paying IBOs.
Hi Anonymous. I don’t know why a company was such a bad reputation as Amway wants to get their name out there in the public eye. Amway is a closed market shopping club so like you say it’s not advertising because only a small percentage of people can actually buy overpriced shitty Amway products. And because Amway sales have been on the decline for many years, they can no longer afford to advertise on city sports arenas or TV ads.
DeleteAnna, you've put your finger on a real dilemma for the Amway Corporation.
DeleteAmway's public image is so bad that the various subsystems tell their members not to mention the name "Amway" at all during recruitment, and to say that Amway is merely "one of the suppliers that we use." This shows that the company is acutely aware of their rotten reputation.
On the other hand, Amway did try to drop its name and use a substitute name (Quixtar) several years ago. It was a failure for a number of reasons, and the company decided to go back to "Amway" out of loyalty and tradition that allowed them to claim being founded in 1959.
Both cases show that the Amway bigshots are conflicted on this whole question. They know that the Amway name is badly besmirched, and that they are steadily losing business (especially because of the anti-MLM websites like this one that are blasting them day after day). But there is also a residual loyalty to the original concept dreamt up by DeVos and Van Andel, which makes them want to keep the original name.
The more money the company loses, the greater will be the pressure to change its name to something else. But that won't be of any help now, since we have the internet with shitloads of negative information about the Amway racket, and plenty of angry people who will immediately make fun of Amway's attempt to rebrand itself.
Anonymous - it would be interesting if Amway did a name change again but it would soon be known and blogs and Tik Tok would make fun of it and warn everyone not to be fooled. Any way you call it - it is still ScAmway.
