LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

The company has recorded a 41% growth in sales during the financial year ended March 31, 2010 consolidating on the good results of the last two years. The outlook for the coming year is highly optimistic and the company expects to touch a retail sales turnover of Rs. 5000.000 Millions by December 2011.

 

The company identified the growth in Manager count as a critical factor for future business growth and accordingly introduced some key business strategies during the year including the new promoting programme and the Group Manager programme, both of which were launched in January 2010. The new promoting programme has introduced the concept of 'self-promoting' as Consultants can promote themselves to the level of a Manager upon achieving the prescribed standards. This has helped eliminate personal biases and discretion which were previously associated with decisions involving promotion of Managers. In addition, the Group Manager programme has encouraged existing Managers to develop and promote new Managers from their units. Both programmes have yielded successful results as the quarter ending March 31; 2010 witnessed a 59% growth in the number of new Managers promoted.

 

The company has also been building on the concept of 'Chain of Confidence' (CoC) which was launched in January 2009 with major CoC events being organized across the country every quarter. The 'Chain of Confidence' movement has allowed the sales force to transcend from merely selling kits to recruiting women with a purpose by helping them realize their dreams. This movement also contributed significantly to the 36% growth in recruiting during the financial year ended March 31, 2010 as the recruits grew from 48,624 in 2008-09 to 66,300 in 2009-10

 

Over the last two years, the company has also been actively involved in various advertising and brand building activities aimed at providing greater visibility to the brand and creating more consumer awareness. These activities have continued during the year with the company focusing on integrated campaigns involving a mix of print advertisements, display of kiosks in malls and commercials on popular radio channels such as Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM and Fever 104 FM. The company also continued its association with Bollywood by co-sponsoring 'London Dreams', the second such movie to be co-sponsored by the company after ‘Billu Barber' in February 2009.

AS PER WEBSITE

 

Profile:

For over 60 years, Subject has been creating a niche for itself in the business world, making a difference to the lives of millions through its innovative storage products and extremely attractive business opportunity. In recent years, Tupperware has made tremendous inroads into becoming a true global entity. In 2000, Tupperware acquired Dallas-based BeautiControl, followed by the acquisition of the Sara Lee Corporation’s direct selling business in 2000. These advancements brought an increasing product diversity to brand Tupperware. In order to reflect this diversity, Tupperware Corporation changed its name to Tupperware Brands Corporation in 2005.

These acquisitions were in line with the Company’s corporate strategy to add premium consumable items to their product category mix. They also boosted the Company's global portfolio to eight champion brands and changed the Tupperware Brands Corporation into a multi-brand, multi-category, direct sales conglomerate with a worldwide sales force of over 2 million.
