Nikken is an MLM company that started in Japan in 1975. Nikken entered
the US market in 1989 and it wasn't until the following
year that a caucasion took a look at the opportunity. It has been
growing rapidly since then. The chief product from Nikken is magnet theropy
for body pain.
In my opinion, the payment plan Nikken created is a little rough around the edges.
and a larger initial investment than most other mlm companies I've been a member of.
But I've been told you can join at a intro price of $49.95 for
NIKKEN's sales kit. Now, NIKKEN does recommend that you purchase the Demo
Pak (so that you can do demonstrations) and the Career Pak (which contains
alot of the items NIKKEN carries). That's when Nikken starts to get really
expensive to get involved in.
In my opinion Nikken reps push the limits of truth as I've heard some
far fetched claims about what their magnets can do. Some of it really sounds
made up. And they sell these magnets at an obscene markup.
The company sold $700 Million last
year in Japan. I wonder what happened to the collapse.
Nikken claims to have 30,000 active distributors in America doing the business.
The idea of selling magnets is strange, I will admit. I was very
skeptical when I was first approached by a Nikken distributor and introduced to the product line.
Be sure to look in the area about the Nikken career opportunity. There
is information on the marketing plan, top US distributors, car/home
incentive program, and misc company and opportunity information.
Magnet therapy at the moment is on
less solid ground as the much quoted (by Nikken) Baylor scientific study of magnets is being called into
question as possibly false.
I've heard some interesting things from the Japanese point of view. Americans are gaining a reputation around
the world of being among the most gullible patsies there are.
I think Nikkin is aiming their alleged miracle alternatives at the same people
who buy the tabloids.
A friend of mine has been busily selling their products, essentially
a close cousin to refrigerator magnets that will cost you $25 a pop. But I
believe most refrigerator magnets are much stronger than these. And a lot less money.
Most refrigerator magnets will stick to the side of
your fridge and hold their own weight plus that of the decorative device
glued to them. But I've been told the Nikkin ones won't.
I've seen many Nikken distributors on the net sniffing out anyone who has admitted to having
any imaginable affliction and will give them a sales pitch about how her
magnets are the magic panacea.
The biggest problem with Nikken for their distributors to overcome is the questionable
befefits of their magnets.
