NEW YORK, June 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

According to research conducted by Euromonitor International, direct selling continued to grow. In the Unites States, despite aggressive competition from internet retailing, direct selling posted moderate growth in 2016. Businesses support their products through their online sites by promoting offers, offering manuals and promoting their products through social media. Furthermore, direct sellers strive to innovate and target the needs of different consumers. Euromonitor indicates that Mary Kay and Herbalife Ltd. led direct selling with retail value shares of 8% and 6% in 2016. Both companies support their brands with an online presence. For instance, Mary Kay makes its product catalogue available online for consumers, and then directs them to sales representatives. Herbalife also has a product catalogue, along with recipes and product recommendations. In addition, both companies invest in sponsoring events, famous personalities and product innovation.

Direct selling in China continued to enjoy strong growth in 2016, registering current value growth of 14%.

For instance, as WeChat became the most popular social media platform in China, various direct sellers, such as Infinitus (China) Co, promoted their products, built their brand reputations and connected with consumers via WeChat.
