In 1985, Frank L. Vandersloot started a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) business that did not require dealers or distributors to own an inventory or invest a lot in business and sales materials. Their headline product, a body and skin lotion, was rated higher than the current leading brand at the time, Eucerin. It was named Renew, and was effective against extremely dry skin and eczema. The Melaleuca business was born and adopted the name of a tree known as a Tea or Ti tree found in Florida and Australia.

The product line is over 350 items ranging from health and nutrition, skin care and personal care to cleaning products. Each product has been designed to use elements occurring naturally in the environment. The company takes pride in their “green” method of obtaining and manufacturing the raw ingredients that make up their product line, and in recycling efforts at their plant.

Comparing their prices with equivalent products found at the grocery store, Melaleuca’s were found to be much less. Their products are also in a concentrated form compared to others, and are sold directly to the consumer by word-of-mouth referral. Sharing the discounted prices with others by recruitment, of which there is a kickback from the company, qualifies the Melaleuca business as a multi-level marketing strategy.

Commission checks are distributed from the company, and the income statistics show that with minimal effort on a part-time basis, the average income is $87 per year. These people usually are not interested in the business opportunity, but love using the product. The top executive earns over $1 million with a downline of 12,915 active customers.

If a person likes using enviro-friendly products, and his or her personal goal is to save money, or if a person has his sights set on a secure retirement and high income, the Melaleuca business can meet all those goals.
