Scam Types dot Com

I’ve been hearing about Arbonne international recently and the word ’scam’ has often entered the conversations. For that reason I thought I would take a quick look to see whether I agree with that assessment or not.

An online company, Arbonne offer botanically derived skin care products developed in Switzerland. Their product range comprises of not only skin care products but also body care, aromatherapy, weight loss and nutritional products.

They are based on a networking principle which would initially seem like a red flag. However, they don’t promise to make you rich quick or suggest that signing up other distributors is the way to make money.

Arbonne have been in business since 1980 and are actually quite forthcoming on their website, stating that, whilst some distributors do well, others do struggle to make money.

This isn’t sounding much like a scam is it?

On the downside, Arbonne are trading in a highly competitive market. Think of skincare and body products and I’m sure you will also think of other distributors such as Avon who are extremely well known and have a huge market share.

For Arbonne to compete they would need to offer very competitive prices at the least. They don’t though and so any potential distributor for them is going to have to work extremely hard for their money.

Conclusion

Whilst there will always be a group of people who can make good money from opportunities such as this one, I am of the opinion that the average person would have to work extremely hard and that they may fair better as a distributor for someone else.

Verdict : I believe that, despite these issues, Arbonne would appear to be a quite legitimate business opportunity.
