Morinda, LLC & Tahitian Noni Juice – Products & Business Review

Posted in MLM, MLM Reviews

Energy drink sales are an exploding $10 billion market globally. Why? Proof stems from a 500%+ growth in the past 2 years. 33% of those aged 16-35 consume 1 to 2 energy drinks each day. This demand indicates that more than 70 million are purchased every day. This market is projected to continue to double yearly. Most all energy drinks claim benefits of both energy and health.

When speaking about the “energy claims” of most energy drinks, the biggest concern is that the energy is short term. ‘Energy’ can be measured in hours typically. The health claims of these individually or in combination will not be discussed here. Most drinks face the oxymoron of using Green Tea Extract, Caffeine, Taurine, Guarana, or Sugar.

There are also energizers such as Red Bull and Monster consumed by the main target group. Some of the ingredients can become addictive. These are not sold by an MLM company, but are figured in the overall statistics in sales.  There are other concerns that an energy drink may or may not be the best way to get the short term energy boost most are looking for, according to the experts. Here is where the healthy side of the argument looses steam. Most of the energy drink products do not have long term benefits or health benefits.

Remember the label of “energy drink” is left to the manufacture’s discretion because the FDA does not define the term. Is the product scientifically formulated and backed by reliable clinical research? I believe most would agree it would be better to take a healthy energy drink with long term benefits if possible. While considering if you will become a distributor/prospect in the lucrative MLM Healthy Energy Drink Market, make sure you understand how effective the energy drink product you are considering selling, is for both energy and health. Other things to consider are how the energy drink product will be marketed, price comparison, accuracy of unsolicited testimonies, and where and how you can promote the product.

Summary: Tahitian Noni International is an option among many in the field of MLM energy drink companies. You are responsible to recruit others to purchase the products and maintain your level by showing others to do the same. County Fairs, and/or the Craft Fair Community, are typical ways of marketing these energy drinks in public venues. Most who are interested in making a great deal of money have deserted this model of marketing the product for a variety of good reasons. If you are considering selling energy drinks to work from home and make you wealthy, please consider other alternatives to MLM or Direct Selling first. Working at Home.
