12 goals, $120,000 for charity

A goal can make the difference between a win or a loss.  Or in our case, more or less money for an Italian children’s sports center.

Every goal that AC Milan star Ronaldinho scored this season meant another $10,000 to fund the center, thanks to Nutrilite.  This year Ronaldinho scored 11 goals in regulation play plus a ceremonial goal to kick-off the program.  This month we gave  $120,000 to an AC Milan Foundation fund that will build a sports center in the Italian city of L’Aquila in Pagliara di Sassa - topping last year’s donation of $100,000.

Ronaldinho scored big.  But the real winners are the kids who’ll have a place to play.

This is just part of our relationship with AC Milan.  To learn more, check out the trailer below.

Competitive advantage

Every  team needs an advantage over the competition. 

For the players of AC Milan, one such advantage is MilanLab, an interdisciplinary research center dedicated to preventing injury and optimizing the performance of team members.

Since 2008, Nutrilite has been the institutional sponsor and official dietary supplement brand of AC Milan and has worked with MilanLab to create individual nutritional profiles and recommendations for players.  It’s all part of a philosophy of creating a personalized program for each player to help them achieve optimal health and performance. 

Last week MilanLab invited international media to learn how Nutrilite has been a part of the center’s efforts.  MilanLab’s Daniele Tognaccini  talked about how “Nutrilite perfectly met our need” as a partner in the centre’s work.  Team Nutrilite spokesperson and AC Milan star Ronaldinho shared how important what MilanLab and Nutrilite is doing to improve the health and well being of athletes and people from all walks of life.  

That’s in addition to helping provide a competitive advantage for the world’s most successful soccer team.

Nutrilite tops in India

Our Nutrilite brand is now the top selling vitamin and dietary supplement brand in India.

Nutrilite is already the world’s best selling brand of vitamins and crossed the $3 billion annual sales mark in 2008.

Being tops in India is Nutrilite’s latest accomplishment in 75 years of helping people live healthier lives.

Inspiration from the next generation

If you want to learn how to market to the next generation, go right to the source.nutrilite-rapper

That’s what Amway Korea has done since 2007 through its Nutrilite User-Created Content (UCC) Challenge, which pits groups of college students against each other to create marketing videos for our flagship nutrition brand.

The experience starts with a classroom visit from an Amway Korea marketer, includes a brand immersion and lectures, and ends with one group winning an award for the most creative treatment. More than 3,000 students have participated in the competition since its launch, and the program and videos have taken Nutrilite from almost no awareness among college-age students to being recognized by more than 10 percent of that group.

The 2009 winners chose rap music as their medium for spreading the Nutrilite message. We think it’s an inspired choice.

Tune in

A few months ago we told you about Amway’s launch of an app for Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch.

Now we’ve added a video podcast series to our store on iTunes, to help spread the word about our Artistry and Nutrilite brands.

You can download individual podcasts or subscribe to the series.

But do tune in to see what we’re up to.

The customer’s always right

For the fourth year running, consumers have named our Nutrilite brand among the “most trusted” brands in Asia.

The Reader’s Digest Asia Most Trusted Brands Survey cited Nutrilite as a top brand in the vitamin/health supplement category earlier this year.

Consumers in eight Asian markets ranked brands in 43 product categories on quality, innovation, value, understanding of consumer needs, credibility, and trustworthiness. And they scored Nutrilite a “gold trusted brand,”  indicating that Nutrilite is way ahead of the competition.

The customer has spoken. And as everyone knows, the customer’s always right.

Not slowing down

Back in 1969, Dr. Sam Rehnborg started work at Nutrilite. But Dr. Sam’s roots go much further than that with the brand started by his father in 1934.   Dr. Sam has joked he was the first Nutrilite customer, but he’s now among the millions who have made Nutrilite the world’s leading brand of vitamin, mineral, and dietary supplements (based on 2008 sales).

Amway affiliates celebrated Nutrilite’s 75th anniversary and Dr. Sam’s 40th with a “Super Tour” this fall in nine Asian markets, drawing crowds and headlines everywhere Dr. Sam traveled.

After 40 years at Nutrilite, Dr. Sam shows no sign of slowing down.

Nor does the septuagenarian Nutrilite brand.

But the official Amway Facebook page hasn’t launched yet. We’ll let you know when that’s ready.

And then we’ll make things official.

Closing the gap

phyto-chart-mid1What do 88 percent of Americans have in common? They aren’t eating enough foods that are blue and purple. And that’s a shame, because blackberries, blueberries, grapes and plums do some pretty amazing things in the body.

Today, our Nutrilite brand released America’s Phytonutrient Report, the first major analysis of fruit and vegetable consumption by color. So whether it’s yellow/orange, green, or the blues that your diet might be missing, you can find out what it all means here.

Along with the report, Nutrilite unveiled the Phytonutrient Spectrum to make the colors, health benefits, and fruits and vegetables associated with key nutrients easy to follow and understand. All of this was showcased at a New York farmer’s market that offered free fruits and vegetables as well as bushels of advice on eating more colorfully and better.

Check out the full online press kit to learn more, and follow The Coloring Book blog for continued tips on how to close those dietary gaps.

Super 75th

The celebration of Nutrilite’s 75th anniversary is too big to be contained to the brand’s hometown of Buena Park, California, or even this continent.

Nutrilite hosted an event in September for employees to celebrate 75 years of helping people live healthier lives. But that was just a warm-up for the super celebration that’ll bring the world’s leading brand of vitamin and mineral supplements to hundreds of thousands of people in some of Amway’s biggest markets.

The Nutrilite 75th Anniversary Super Tour will stop in nine Asian countries from October 9 to November 13. Health-conscious consumers and business owners from China to Singapore will participate in fun walks, health carnivals, and other events designed to help people learn how to achieve optimal health. Dr. Sam Rehnborg, the son of Nutrilite’s founder Carl Rehnborg and president of the Nutrilite Health Institute, will be there every leg of the journey to celebrate wellness and commemorate the anniversary. You can follow the tour at Nutrilite’s Facebook page.

It’s a super way to celebrate 75 years.
