Revolutionizing the Way People Shop  and the Future of Business Market America’s Acquisition of SHOP.COM Webinar Presentation  Monday December 20th 2010
We have secured the most powerful partnership in Market America's history — one that will revolutionize the future of business.  SHOP.COM is joining Market America to provide a technology platform that will position us as a leader in e-commerce.  This literally speeds up everything we have been doing and planning to do by years. It puts us five years ahead of where we are right now. It is a shortcut to greater success and changing the way people shop.  This is all about making it Easier to get there and grow Faster so that the business will be Better and Market America and your UnFranchise® income will be Bigger!  EASIER, FASTER, BETTER, BIGGER! 3
Market America Inc. has acquired dot-com survivor Shop.com Inc, a 13 years old online comparison shopping engine backed by Bill Gates, Oak Investment Partners and others.  With the addition of SHOP.COM, Market America will increase employees from about 600 to 650 and add greater technological muscle to its marketing expertise.  4
Both MarketAmerica.com and Shop.com will continue to operate as separate websites. Market America will maintain its headquarters in Greensboro, N.C., while Shop.com will continue operations from Monterey, Calif., and Pasadena, Calif., as well as in London. The acquisition further consolidates the online shopping center and may enable Market America to better compete against larger rivals, like eBay and Amazon - each of which have had recent shopping sprees of their own, snapping up smaller rivals.  The company expects to generate $460 million in revenue and roughly $45 million in net income this year. 5
The SHOP.COM Story In 1997 Lee Lorenzen found his mailbox bulging with more than two dozen catalogs, all delivered in a single day.  As both an entrepreneur and a technologist, he realized that there must be a more efficient way for merchants to place their offers in front of customers and for customers to shop conveniently for just the right product and brands across a wide selection of merchants. Instead of "pushing" offers to customers and hoping the products and timing matched their needs, why not create a single location where customers could shop for the exact products they wanted, precisely when they wanted them? And why not leverage the Internet to build a virtual marketplace? 6
The SHOP.COM Story ... And so began Catalog City, a web site dedicated to catalog retailers where customers could order from hundreds of catalogs online. The vision grew to include products from department stores, specialty stores, and web only retailers. Catalog City also developed its patented OneCart® technology which allows customers to shop across hundreds of merchants and check out only once with a single password-protected account.  7
The SHOP.COM Story ... Now, backed by over a decade of technology development, the original vision has evolved into SHOP.COM, the destination comparison shopping engine that merchandises to women and leverages the multi-merchant features of its patented OneCart® technology.  8
SHOP.COM provides easy access to a vast selection of products and merchants – from well-known name brands to lesser-known but equally high quality specialty retailers – organized for convenience in finding, comparing and buying items for the home, family, work, friends, and personal needs and interests. 9
CEO JR Ridinger discussed Market America's acquisition with SHOP.COM on Bloomberg TV "Street Smart“. The show captures the day's top market-moving stories, trends and investors news.  ,[object Object]

Further details about the acquisition of Shop.com's business and how it will greatly impact the growth of your UnFranchise business will be outlined in the January issue of Powerline magazine and communicated through newslines, Leaderline, News & Announcements, the ma Blog, Twitter and Facebook.  Be sure to secure your tickets to the ma World Conference  (being held February 3-5, 2011 in Miami, FL) as you will gain all of the insight  about the acquisition and also learn from the executives  of Shop.com.  16
The integration of both websites will begin immediately and work together under one umbrella as all customers will be assigned to Shop Consultants, which are UFO Customer Managers. You will be trained on this and how to handle customers from both Market America and Shop.com. There will be a major press and media campaign positioning the partnership's power and potentials while blowing up Paid to Shop! Within months we will be converting and assigning millions of customers so make sure you have met the IBV requirements to be in the lead rotation. 17

The plan is to move as many vendors or merchants over to the EZ Cart (to be called the OneCart) as quickly as possible and to give customers or visitors access to all the merchants, brands and stores.

  • 33. This is the time to get everyone you know on the Paid to Shop. This is the time to get on board with the IBV requirements so you can receive the customer and the lead flow from all of this. Think about how you can use the recent press links to grow your own business and influence people. Use these links on Social network like maChatterbox, Facebookand Twitter by saying something thought-provoking or asking a question. Have you tired that yet? If you have not—this is the time to do it! I believe in you. Keep growing. JR Ridinger 20
  • 34. Congratulations Loren Ridinger! Market America’s rise over the past few years to become one of the premier online retailers, has been nothing short of remarkable. A lot of the credit goes to Senior Vice President, Loren Ridinger, who has been instrumental in this rise, as she works tirelessly to bring on new partners and to work-out deals to help keep Market America at the forefront of online shopping. Recently, Loren Ridinger was featured in the Forbes.com publication, Insights, where she talked about embracing the non-text web. 21
  • 35. ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORKING TIPS By now, you’ve hopefully already joined the social networking revolution. In the midst of adding friends and neighbours, you’ve probably been all excited and intrigued over the networking opportunities you’ve now been presented with. Who wouldn’t get excited – considering that some 340 million + global users are currently using social networks! Facebook, for example, has an alternate means for people wanting to promote a business. While you would setup a profile to connect with your friends, anyone wanting to promote a business to others needs to do so by creating a separate Facebook fan page. Not only is a fan page a great way for you to highlight your business and keep it separate from your personal account, but it allows you to contact people that have opted to become a fan of your business. This helps keep Facebook happy, not to mention your friends and acquaintances! 22
  • 36.
  • 37. Inviting someone to join your business helps maintain solid relationships with your friends and family.
  • 38. If you promote your business through your standard profile, it could lead to people ‘unfriending’ you due to excessive business promotion.
  • 39.
  • 40. How to: Share videos from YouTube Sharing videos from YouTube is a great way to engage your customers as it helps spread information related to your business that you want to get out to the world. There are many options for sharing a video you've found on YouTube. Here are a few: Have YouTube send your customersan email with a link to the video - just sign into your YouTube account, click on the "Share" link underneath any video, and then scroll down to the "Send this video from YouTube" box. Enter any email address you want and an optional personal message, then click "Send" Send a video URL to your customersdirectly - just click on the "URL" text box to the right of any video, copy the text, and paste it to anyone in an email message or IM window Share to a social network - just click on your favorite social network underneath a video (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, etc), sign into that social network (if necessary), and follow the instructions to send the video to your profile or directly to your friends/customers.
