USANA in Mexico

¡Hola!

In continuing our series on foreign countries, I would like to showcase the beautiful country of MEXICO. I’ve had the privilege over the last several years to spend many vacations all around Mexico. My Dad actually planted this bug. He spent many weeks in Mexico after his retirement and encouraged all of us to come visit him while there. (Thanks, Dad!) So I’ve had the opportunity to swim and snorkel off the beautiful white beaches of Cozumel and Playa DelCarmen; I've walked along the Malecón in Puerto Vallarta; and I’ve enjoyed the Carnaval (Mexican Mardi Gras) in Mazatlán. And how about those Pyramids!! - How did the Mayans do that?! They’re awesome. We enjoyed many excursions to small villages inland, as well, and we met many wonderful people. What fun! Even though my Spanish language skills are very limited, indeed, it was never a problem. The Mexican people are so helpful and friendly – one way or another we could always find a way to communicate. When I joined USANA Health Sciences two years ago, you can imagine how excited I was to learn my favorite supplement company is also in Mexico!

On March 4, 2003, USANA announced plans to begin operations and selling products to new Associates in Mexico in the first quarter of 2004. According to the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations, direct sales in Mexico were approximately $2.9 billion in 2001. "The opening of Mexico will give USANA a presence in each of the four largest direct sales markets in the world," commented Dave Wentz, president of USANA. "We have a growing number of Hispanic leaders in both the U.S. and Canada with ties to Mexico and believe this announcement will help existing Associates build their businesses in the local markets in anticipation of our opening in Mexico. We believe that this market is another important step in our global expansion efforts, further diversifying our Associate base and enhancing our long-term growth."
As we've mentioned in an earlier posts, USANA develops and manufactures high quality nutritionals, personal care, and weight management products that are sold directly to Preferred Customers and Associates in many different countries, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

If you are living in Mexico or have family and friends there and would like more information, please e-mail the blogmaster. We’ll be happy to tell you how you can get the products or start a business yourself.

¡Adios, Amigos!
