Wow! Convention is almost here. Showtime!! I can’t wait to see your smiling faces there. I can’t remember ever being so excited going into an event with so much to announce and share!

Well It is that time that I personally turn my entire focus to getting people to the convention. You know we have a record number of tickets sold with over 23,000, but with the new 360 degree configuration there are a few hundred seats that we freed up so that new people could get in. That won’t last past this week. But lets make sure there are no unused tickets. If anyone has a unused ticket, please call upline, put it out on chatterbox or your voice mail network and let the events department know because people are looking for them. Read More

MA launched Microsoft Fast search on the Marketamerica.com portal. Microsoft partnered with Market America to launch the largest product search and comparison shopping site ever. It was launched Monday and every day, more products are added and the relevancy and search gets better because it learns and can be tweaked as it is used. Watch it grow and get better and faster every day. Within weeks there will be 35 million products and within 6 months 50 million. This opens a new chapter for Market America, Its UFO’s and its customers. Try it weekly and see the difference.

Keep Growing,
