Hi ladies, I love to be able to shop by catalogue, but being from Canada am finding that many of the moms on this site sell their product in the states. With our dollar being so crappy I would love to know if there are any canadian direct sellers, preferrably in Calgary, or Alberta.



I would love to be able to enjoy so many of the direct selling products from the states, as they are so different from what we have up here in Canada....I guess the grass always seems greener on the other side. However, the exchange is just t brutal.

If you would like to get into a great home business (that can also be done online) that is both changing lives and can earn you from a modest amount per month to no cap on what you can make that is a simple concept yet is one of the leading companies in the market contact us at my personal email fvlabs@hotmail.com for more info- and I’ll give you the basics as we do not hard sell anyone on joining us, we only offer you information then the ability to learn more, and more over a short tutorial we take you through- then it is up to you (after you also do your own research online on this company as well like I did ) where you want to go.

We are in Vancouver WA this is legit as am I. Just Google my email and who I am you will find my kennel French-Vanila Labradors all over, and no this is not about dogs it is about bettering yourself beginning with a 90 day challenge that can change your life

WE make the future- it is up to each of us what ours will be.

Take Care Sandy Metcalf

Thanks for your cooperation!

Hi, Kari Lynn,



I saw your post from last fall and wondered if you had found what you were looking for?

I, myself, am a mom of 4 living in Aurora, Ontario, and in January I became a preferred customer of Melaleuca, an international wellness company based out of the U.S. Melaleuca actually distributes to 13 different countries and here in Canada we order all our household cleaning, bath & body and essential health products from the Canadian catalogue either by phone or online. No currency conversion required!



There are also really enticing referral bonuses, whether you are "just" a customer, or whether you choose to pursue the business aspect of the organization.



I would be pleased to provide you with an overview of the company, its products and even its fantastic compensation program (should this appeal to you.) Everything is backed by 100% satisfaction guarantee which makes it risk-free.



Hope to hear from you.

All the best,

Erica

Staying healthy is especially important so we can be there for our families, our job or our business. One of the many ways we can look after our health is with vitamin and mineral supplements.

But before you order, let me tell you about the extra income part. GBG has not just a great product, but a great business as well. The FREE business comes with the product. There are no extra costs.

I didn't realize you already had someone from Send Out Cards, so I'll tell you about my other company - Legacy for Life.  It's I26 in Canada and another upline of mine is also from Canada.  I'm a National Marketing Director.  www.legacyforlife.com/BuonHealthandWealth



(The slash / doesn't show too well!)



The product has over 100 patents.They also have TrimBerry, which I use to control my sugar level and for extra energy.



My grandchildren love Immune 26 Complete, which I make as a milkshake.  They live next door and are always asking my my special milk!  It's such a lifesaver for so many people.  On the website, there are phone calls you can check and e-mail me if you want other info.



I wish you luck with whatever company you choose!  They all have great products, just find one you can LOVE!

My upline is from Canada!  Check www.sendoutcards.com/7007



Everything is done on the computer and the company sends physical cards that are less expensivew than the store cards.  I love to send cards with pictures I have taken.  If you check the website, you can send a FREE card to yourself or someone you care about - like a best friend.

Love your name!  If you're looking for a business that doesn't require holding inventory or tring to sell an "extra", take a look at ACN Telecommunications.  If interested in the slightest (Donald Trump endorses our company), check out my website, kariandjason.acnrep.com and click on "The Opportunity".  Watch the first video link on the left side of the screen.  We're in 20 countries and on 3 continents around the world including Canada.  Best of luck to you in your future ventures.

Check out my website www.zena.brightwomen.com I joined 13 years ago and was a stay at home mom. Limited income but a passion for getting the toxins out of my home. After learning a tube of toothpaste contained a deadly amount of formaldehyde I was open to better, safer and cheaper. Never looked back

A great one to look at is FHTM (Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing) for their Canadian division. I hear it is exploding like crazy up there! You have some great opportunities to offer people products & services THEY USE ANYWAY! It's great, because these things are recession proof (i.e. cell service, home phone, DISH TV, internet services, etc) whereas many other direct selling products are the first things that get cut out of a family's budget when money gets tight. There are many websites you can use to research, starting with MINE! (LOL) www.fhtmus.com/theduke and others like profitwithfortune.com If you have more questions, feel free to contact me here or call me at 704-241-2319. You will find that people in this business are awesome -Friendly & helpful, and interested in helping you succeed. Good luck to you in whatever you decide to do!

Hi Kari!  Wow, you've rec'd a lot of comments!  But again, I would recommend Arbonne International!  Like Shannon, below, mentioned - Arbonne is a botanically based skin care/ health & wellness company.  The products are formulated in Switzerland w/ the higher European standards and then produced in the US.  With the tough economic times, some home businesses are harder than others - people are more discriminate on their purchasing of "extras" or "non-essentials".  I love Arbonne because it is safe & pure (vegan and mostly organic) - also everyone washes their face and shampoos their hair!



Arbonne is in the US, Canada, Australia & the UK with more countries on the way.  Plus, the company is revamping their compensation plan in Feb so consultants can earn "right now money".  Let me know if you have any questions & GOOD LUCK in whatever you decide to pursue!!  Julie Phillips - ArbonneOC@aim.com

Hello Kari Lynn;



I am from Innisfail, Alberta working with Passion Parties Canada.  Our catalogues are all in Canadian prices, and our Canadian warehouse is right in Calgary!  I was actually in Calgary last night for our Valentine's Day product launch. I am a working single mom who does this on the side for fun money. We have lotions and potions to things that go BUZZ in the night - empowering Women from the bedroom to the bank!



Here is a statistic that you may find interesting. The 2 industries that are not effected by recession are: the sex industry, and food.

Hi there Kari! I have been an Independent Consultant for Arbonne Int'l for a little over a year and absolutely love it! The products are 100% pure and the opportunity will change your life. Arbonne was launched in Canada a couple of years ago and so, you would have such an awesome opportunity! I would love to send you a skincare sample because you truly have to see how great these products are! If you are interested in the business, we have conference calls and continual support that I can help you get linked with. I wish you the best and if you'd like to try a skincare sample or would like more info, just let me know! :)

What about online shopping? I have an online shopping portal that gives you acess to over 300+ online stores and pays you not only for your direct selling efforts but for your shopping as well! . Take a look! www.shoptoearn.net/visconti You could be the 1st rep in Canada; that would be so awesome! I can also send you an invitation to a converence call to listen in to as well. Just let me know!

Good luck!

Hi Kari - If I were in Canada I would definatley research the Quixtar business. I have a big business in the states and would love to sponsor you in Canada. But instead I think it would be easier for you to be mentored by someone local to you. I can recommend a few very reputable business associates that would help you launch and build your business. The best part about our business is it deals with products you use everyday - food, shampoo, detergent, drinks etc. So no matter the economy people are always buying. Also, you can shop by catalog, online, or 800#. Plus the corporation has been around for 50years and is completely debt free! Let me know if you'd like me to forward your info to the people I know in Canada. Good luck to you!!!
