Hi there,

I recently did a review on this product and have to tell you the truth. These are $ 20-$ 30 bottles of juice with no proven health benefits. It’s an all natural product and no FDA approval for specific health claims. It’s also priced too high to sell during a recession and that’s what the US market it going through right now.
I know this isn’t the answer you want to hear, but it’s the truth. This kind of product is the most difficult to market in today’s economic climate compared to others. If you had a brick and mortar business like a health food store in an affluent area, or a juice bar at a health club, then you’d have the chance to move some product at this price range.
I remember the dot com boom when people were throwing money literally out the window at everything online, but it isn’t that way anymore. It’s overpriced, there’s no health claims since it has no active ingredients, and that makes for the toughest of sells when it comes to these kinds of economic times.
I know people who have tried these kinds of products. The way they get customers is usually by the reseller program, who are afraid to cancel because they are invested in it, even if their house is full of juice, they can’t let go of it. This is what they are counting on, and it’s how many MLM’s make their money, by the auto order, not by retailing the product itself.
I wish I had better news about this type of product, but I don’t. We’ve done over 800 reviews of Internet businesses and I’ve seen a lot of these before and know this problem with them. If you want to call me at 813-908-3138 I’ll be happy to talk to you about it. I don’t give out links when it comes to this kind of thing, I’ll help if you want to call though.

To be honest, if this was the Clinton administration where people were spending money hand over fist (and I remember those days) then I’d say go for it. The problem is the economy and anything overpriced doesn’t sell. The effort just isn’t worth it compared to recession proof businesses.
