Citation preview
The year 2010 will certainly go down in history as the most significant span of success since the company was founded some 20 years ago. We set the pace in January for a record year with our revolutionary paid to shop program in full swing. By the time 2010 had ended, we were paying registered customers up to 50 percent cash back on qualified purchases made through the Web Portal. Paying customers that
much to shop was unheard of, especially amidst the country’s continued economic woes. Fortunately, Market America remains insulated from sudden market swings, as demonstrated by yet another solid year of growth. Market America’s performance continued to excel as we surpassed $451 million in retail sales for 2010 — an increase over 2009’s $429 million. Even better, our UnFranchise Owners were paid $111 million in commissions, and earned an estimated $119 million in retail profits, meaning that approximately $230 million was placed directly into the pockets of individuals implementing our proven business plan in 2010. All told, our Shop Consultants and UnFranchise Owners have earned over $2.2 billion since Market America’s inception. The growth we experienced didn’t stop with sales and commissions paid. Our product line expanded as we launched
the new high-end personal care brand, Fixx, and our health professional division, nutraMetrix, gained some major momentum last year as we continued to penetrate the medical community. In September of 2010, Market America successfully expanded the UnFranchise® business opportunity to the Philippines, making it the company’s sixth market worldwide. Presently, the company has operations in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and now, the Philippines. We have our sights set on Europe next as we’re already paving our way into the United Kingdom. With the acquisition of SHOP.COM, not only did we speed up our technology, we instantly launched our brands in the United Kingdom through their existing platform UK.SHOP.COM. This will set the stage for introducing the UnFranchise Business Development System there in early 2012. The acquisition of SHOP.COM to close out 2010 was by far the greatest move in the history of the company. It combines SHOP.COM’s strength in technology and merchandising (providing customers with the latest, high-tech online shopping) with Market America’s high-touch, personal shopping experience, including the industry’s only unlimited cash back program. As the integration continues to unfold, it will make 2011 an even greater success as we confidently predict global sales and commission growth of more than 22 percent. Above all, this success will be shared by all of us!
THE BILLION DOLLAR ROLL
2QH�WR�2QH�0DUNHWLQJ� Creating The Economy Of The Future
Approximately every 10-20 years, a new marketing system emerges as a better way of
distributing products to the end consumer. One-to-One Marketing has emerged as the
new paradigm for the 21st century. With the philosophy that people hate to be sold but
love to buy, One-to-One Marketing seamlessly matches people to products and products
to people. As a One-to-One Marketing company, Market America is on the leading edge
of digital marketing. Digital marketing is the process where PD� matches products
to people’s profiles and in turn people to the products they are shopping for based on
digital correlations in our database. Market America is then able to customize the display,
presentation and medium based on the customer. With this dynamic in place, customers
get exactly what they want — we are supplying rather than selling. Market America will
be to One-to-One Marketing what McDonald’s is to franchising and what Microsoft is
to computerization.
7KH�8Q)UDQFKLVH��%XVLQHVV�'HYHORSPHQW�6\VWHP A Proven Plan For Your Financial Success
Like a franchise, Market America provides systemization, standardization, state-of-the-
art management systems, merchandising and marketing tools, growing visibility and the
opportunity to own multiple business locations. However, unlike a franchise, there are
no franchise fees, monthly royalties, territorial restrictions, little to no risks and minimal
startup expenses. Best of all, UnFranchise Owners can begin on a part-time basis with
flexible hours. There are two ways to earn income. First, provide products through your
Market America Web Portal. Earn 30 to 1,000 percent gross retail profit by servicing
the needs and wants of 10-15 Preferred Customers. Second, leverage your time and
duplicate your efforts by creating a sales organization with others doing the same.
Simply put, the UnFranchise Business Development System provides a path to financial
independence by allowing you to secure a stream of ongoing income.
3URGXFW�%URNHUDJH� Market America’s Mall Without Walls®
As a product brokerage company, Market America identifies the highest quality
market-driven products and services. By moving with the marketplace, Market America
does not rely solely on the sales of any one product or service. Without the costly
burdens of manufacturing, mass marketing and advertising, greater resources are placed
in product development and quality assurance, which guarantees that everything we
offer is backed by substantial science, rigorous testing and peer-reviewed research.
With over 2,500 exclusive products and services, our Mall Without Walls™ gives Shop
Consultants access to numerous multibillion-dollar industries including health & nutrition,
cosmetics, anti-aging, weight management, home & garden, pet care, auto care, financial
services and more. UnFranchise® businesses do not rely on the sale of any one product
or service, resulting in short-term and long-term stability and profitability. Whatever the
trend, Market America is in a position to capitalize on it.
,QWHUQHW�0DUNHWLQJ�The Ultimate Online DestinationOur Web Portal, combined with Market America’s people power, provides the most
efficient and friendliest experience found anywhere on the Internet. With unlimited
shopping — including 2,500 exclusive Market America-branded products, thousands
of Partner Stores, a Universal Shopping Cart, comparison shopping and exclusive
deals — Market America’s Web Portal is the most innovative online destination ever
created. Combine that with features like Microsoft FAST product and content search,
our revolutionary paid to shop program, rich media content, plus news, weather, e-mail
and more — all in a single location. Plus, with a dedicated Shop Consultant responsible
for ensuring a pleasant shopping experience, Market America delivers a personal touch
unmatched by any other retailer, online or off.

BUILDING A GLOBAL COMMUNITY
AustraliaAs Market Australia approaches its tenth year of operations, the company is optimistic about the future. Sales during 2010 were a strong $7.43 million USD, up from 2009, and the company expects sales in 2011 to further increase by 29 percent as we continue to introduce more products and services through marketaustralia.com.au. Despite the continued global recession, commissions paid in 2010 were $1.52 million USD and for 2011, commissions are projected to increase as well. Combining retail profit and commissions paid, Shop Consultants and UnFranchise Owners in Australia earned more than $3.64 million USD in 2010.
Hong KongIn 2007, Market America expanded its operations into yet another region in the Pacific Rim: Hong Kong. Market Hong Kong has continued to demonstrate solid growth, and last year was no exception. With sales topping $15.66 million USD in 2010 and UnFranchise Owners earning $8.37 million in retail profits and commissions, Market Hong Kong has created solid momentum. The proven strength of this market is why we’re setting an even more aggressive goal of $19.31 million USD in revenue for 2011, a 20 percent increase over 2010.
TaiwanIn 2005, Market Taiwan opened its doors, extending the UnFranchise® business model to yet another continent. The growth of operations in Taiwan during 2010 was impressive, with sales topping $99.50 million USD and commissions paid in excess of $30.19 million USD for the same time period. In total, Taiwan Shop Consultants and UnFranchise Owners earned more than $58.62 million USD in 2010. For 2011, sales of over $128.25 million USD is anticipated, a 24 percent increase over 2010. We’re also predicting that Market Taiwan’s field operations will surpass 35,000 Shop Consultants and UnFranchise Owners.
THE FOUR CORNERSTONES OF OUR SUCCESS
Philippines & The United Kingdom�Less than a year ago, we launched the UnFranchise business in the Philippines. With the growing number of Shop Consultants and UnFranchise Owners in this new region, we anticipate a solid first full year of sales for Market Philippines. Earlier this year, we began merchandising our products on UK.SHOP.COM which will build brand awareness and customer base to put us in position to offer the UnFranchise business throughout the United Kingdom in early 2012.

brokerage and
Internet marketing
company that
specializes in One-
to-One Marketing.
MARKET AMERICA — AN OVERVIEWMarket America (marketamerica.com) is one of the largest online retailers for consumers worldwide, featuring exclusive products and services (PD brands) along with offering products from more than 3,500 of the top Internet retailers. Together, Market America offers over 50 million products and services. Our proprietary business model combines the power and scope of the Internet with the personalization of One-to-One Marketing to provide consumers with what they want and need. The Market America Web Portal utilizes comparison shopping, customer reviews, live chat assistance, and a state-of-the-art search engine powered by Microsoft®.
With a dynamic real community of entrepreneurs and loyal customers, Market America tracks customers’ profiles and buying habits in order to match products to people and people to products. Each entrepreneur has a Web Portal supplied by the company. Through each individual Web Portal, in addition to news, entertainment, videos, blogs, social networks, free e-mail, etc., consumers can access over 50 million products and services (PD’s brands and Partner Stores), making it one of the largest Internet shopping sites on the planet! Think of it this way…it is like owning your own Amazon.com — but much better!
Market America provides a systemized and standardized business model, just like a franchise. Everyone follows a proven business system and the company provides the support, training, technology, products and growing visibility. It's called the “UnFranchise® business” because you have all the benefits of a franchise but do not have to pay a franchise fee. Additionally, instead of paying the franchisor a royalty, PD pays you commissions and retail profits from the sales through their Portal and referral network. Customers get paid for shopping and UnFranchise® Owners earn commissions and retail profits from shopping on their site and from referrals.

MARKET AMERICA IS A HYBRID BETWEEN HSN AND AMAZON.COM
A Web PortalThe Market America Web Portal is the ultimate online destination, offering over 50 million products and services from thousands of the world’s most popular e-retailers, in addition to thousands of our own exclusive company brands. Plus, you’ll find instant access to blogs, social networking, entertainment, videos, digital publications, a customizable toolbar, coupon codes, personalized product recommendations, cash back on thousands of products, and more!
An OpportunityMarket America provides the most realistic and lucrative business plan — the UnFranchise® Business Development System. The UnFranchise business can yield a very substantial ongoing income for those individuals who are serious and willing to implement the proven system.
The Power of PeopleEvery customer is assigned a Shop Consultant who can guide them on the Portal and maintain a personal connection and relationship (high-tech and high-touch). With our global community of entrepreneurs, we’re banding together and combining our economic buying power to make money. We are ultimately buying through each other using an incredible tracking system that enables us all to be compensated! We are leveraging people power to provide better products at a better price. We don’t compete for shelf space since there’s no product inventory so we, as the entrepreneurs, can create an ongoing income and compete alongside the big corporations.
Market America will be to One-to-One Marketing what McDonald’s® is to franchising and what Microsoft® is to computerization.
LIKE AMAZON.COM, BUT WITH POWERFUL DIFFERENCES AND ADVANTAGES:
“Market America’s home page is an entirely addictive online experience that ultimately generates revenue for its users.” — HAUTE LIVING MAGAZINE
THE ULTIMATE ONLINE DESTINATIONWith the recent acquisition of SHOP.COM, Market America is upgrading to a third-generation shopping search with intuitive navigation, personalized recommendations, and lightning fast results. This will allow shoppers not only to find the products they're looking for, but to quickly reference content relevant and beneficial to their shopping decisions.
Our business is similar to HSN because, as a product broker, we are presented with thousands of products. We only take the most market-driven and unique products. HSN sells direct to the consumer over TV, using someone to explain the product to the viewer. We do the same thing on the Internet and use Shop Consultants and intuitive technology to explain the product and educate the customer. The company is annualizing at $500 million in retail sales and growing at 25 percent per year. Market America is expected to hit $1 billion in revenue within two to three years, $10 billion within five years, and $50 billion within 10 years from the acquisition of SHOP.COM, international expansion, continued product development, and the shopping experience that pays you cash back.
We are like Amazon.com in that we have aggregated millions of products and services into one shopping experience. Over 50 million products and services can be accessed through each individual Web Portal. Each Web Portal has over 3,500 name brand stores and companies (e.g., Target, Best Buy, Apple, Nike, Victoria’s Secret, Bloomingdales, Barnes & Noble) in addition to the 2,500 exclusive PD-branded products and services. Therefore, each Web Portal is one of the largest Internet shopping sites on the planet! People actually get paid to shop and for referring others to shop from their Web Portal. We have sophisticated software that tracks from whom leads are generated, resulting in retail profits, commissions and an ongoing income. �

TECHNOLOGY & THE SOCIAL MEDIA REVOLUTIONMarket America enables you to always be on the forefront of the latest technology and capitalize on the growing social and economic impact of the Internet, social networking and online shopping. The advancements in technology are making communication and connectivity instantaneous, thus fueling the UnFranchise® businesses of our growing global community of entrepreneurs. Social media (i.e., Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) provides a valuable tool to reach people, instantly exposing them to products, services and our business system. Although social media is a valuable tool, it will not take the place of personal interaction and relationships. The combination of people power and technology is the solution, and Market America offers both!
A Web Portal + The UnFranchise System + Management Performance Compensation Plan + Social Media + People Power = Ongoing Income!
While other companies are trying to build social networking into their shopping sites, Market America has taken an opposite approach, bringing marketamerica.com to Facebook with an application called PD Network. On social networks, there is a wealth of information. People tell you more about themselves than they would ever reveal on a shopping site. There is so much interactivity going back and forth between people — their likes, their dislikes, their wants, their emotional experiences, how they are feeling at the moment, and what they experienced throughout the day. PD Network bridges the gap between social media and online shopping with one simple, easy-to-use interface that lets you search, shop, save and share with over 600 million potential customers! PD Network mirrors the user’s activity on marketamerica.com back to PD Network, streaming updates in the news feed, alerting friends and customers to hot deals, product recommendations and reviews. Beyond that, PD Network allows users to actually browse Market America’s 50 million products without ever leaving Facebook!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT“Thank you, Loren, for the newest Cashback video that you created! You spell out the program so simply yet in such a way that everyone who watches it will surely be hooked. I had a family reunion and showed it to some of my extended family that I don’t see very often, and just from that video alone I got eight new customers and they’re all already getting paid to shop from my Portal! Cashback is incredible!”
- Elizabeth S. / Baltimore, Md.
“I LOVE Cashback! I can buy the things that I regularly buy at brick-and-mortar stores and I can have them delivered right to my door. I don’t have to stand in lines and deal with traffic. The best part is that I am earning money back on every purchase I make. There is no reason not to take advantage of Market America’s Cashback program. It is a no-brainer!” - Staci Bockman / McHenry, Ill.
“I didn’t step foot out of my home to do any shopping this past holiday season and I loved it! I have three children — ages 8, 6 and 5 — and my Market America business saved me from spending my limited free time rushing around trying to find gifts for them and everyone else on my shopping list.
In very little time, I was able to search for what I needed, comparison shop, search for coupons for additional savings, and place the orders. The best part about shopping on my Portal is that Market America PAYS me to do this in more ways than one. I earn commissions, my team earns commissions, and I earn cash back on my purchases. Why would you not do this and why would you not tell your friends and family members to do the same???”
- Deb Walton / Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Internet changed the way people shop, but the paradigm is shifting once again. Mobile technology is the wave of the future and Market America is ahead of the curve. The PD Mobile site and application allows users to browse and purchase from marketamerica.com and its thousands of Partner Stores, plus it offers the same Cashback program and comparison shopping — all from the palm of your hand. We’ve just developed two amazing new features for PD�Mobile — a barcode scanner and store deal notifications. The barcode scanner allows shoppers to scan UPC codes found on all packaged products, automatically searches marketamerica.com for that product, and returns results showing all stores that offer it, while listing the prices to compare for the best deal. If no store offers that product, a related product will be suggested. The store notifications feature lets customers select their favorite Partner Stores, then automatically searches daily for deals and coupons from those stores. If a deal is located, the customer is instantly alerted. It is like having your own coupon book updated daily with the stores you shop at.

CHANGING LIVES ACROSS THE WORLD• For the second straight year, Market
America organized an incredibly successful fundraiser. More than $125,000 was raised by Market America toward the Rally for Kids with Cancer at an event held in Miami. Loren Ridinger, who served as the event chair, JR Ridinger and friend Eva Longoria came together along with many other celebrities for the second consecutive Rally for Kids with Cancer event in Miami Beach which benefited the Jackson Memorial Foundation, International Kids Fund (IKF) and Holtz Children’s Hospital.
• Market America and the Make-A-Wish
Foundation partnered to send 8-year-old Michael Harris of Lexington, N.C. to Disney World shortly after the holiday season. Market America also held a luncheon for Michael and his family, which included a gift-giving segment to help him prepare for his trip and a surprise phone call from his favorite TV show host, Howie Mandel of NBC’s Deal or No Deal.
• Motives® by Loren Ridinger is proud
to team with the American Heart Association through “Go Red” — a fabulous lipstick that you can feel good about flaunting. For one full year, 25 percent of “Go Red” proceeds were donated to the American Heart Association. Motives “Go Red” lipstick was launched at the “Go Red for Women” fashion show at Funkshion Fashion Week in Miami Beach in October 2009.
MARKET AMERICA MAKING HEADLINES
Market America Ranked #61 on Internet Retailer’s Top 500Recently, marketamerica.com was ranked as number 61 of Internet Retailer’s 2010 Top 500 websites. The ranking reflects our constantly growing web sales, which hit $332 million during 2010 — a 3.4 percent increase over the prior year. This means for the past three years, we have remained a top 100 website throughout the U.S.
Keep in mind this number reflects marketamerica.com’s 2010 year of Internet sales — in other words, before we had integrated the technological and traffic prowess of SHOP.COM. With the collaboration of SHOP.COM’s strength in technology and merchandising and Market America's high-touch, personal shopping experience fully in place, we have the power to make 2011’s list in the top 25.
The Top 500 Guide breaks down financials, operations, customer satisfaction, performance, marketing, corporate information, website features and functions, payment systems and vendors.
SHOP.COMMore than 300 media outlets around the world covered Market America's acquisition of SHOP.COM. All the major networks including ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC featured the story — with an exclusive interview with JR Ridinger seen on Bloomberg; websites such as Yahoo, Internet Retailer, and MSN talked about it; and newspapers from the Washington Business Journal to the local Greensboro News & Record had articles on the acquisition.
