An Industry Poised for Growth

You may have heard the term “direct selling” before but wondered what it really means. Direct selling is simply a way to sell products or services directly to customers, away from a retail or store location. A direct-sales business allows you to connect with customers one on one, in groups, through online sales, catalog sales or by phone.

Although there are many kinds of direct-selling businesses, Mary Kay is an example of a strong, successful and prosperous direct-selling company that has received numerous awards from the Direct Selling Association and has been a shining example to other direct sellers for more than 50 years. Mary Kay is well known around the world for setting the highest standards, not only for product quality and customer satisfaction, but for truly enriching lives of the Independent Beauty Consultants.
