Direct Sales Industry Proves to Be a Home Run in Today’s Economy

Fort Lauderdale, FL – June 5, 2009 – – It’s the major leagues for direct sales company ShopToEarn/ShopToEarth (Twitter @shoptoearn or @shoptoearth) with the news of Jeff Conine joining the business network. The Florida Marlin’s All Star recently signed as a ShopToEarn broker for green reasons including health, wealth and social responsibility.

“Besides the organic and eco benefits of ShopToEarth, what appealed most to my family and I was the fact that we did not have to sell a certain product like a juice or cleaning product,” said Conine. “This is a business that involves saving money while shopping for the things we already buy at our favorite stores. It also is an opportunity to bring my family and friends into an incredible business opportunity.”

Conine says he is not a “mall type of person” and is attracted to the fact that his family can shop at all the retailers they normally buy from. The only difference now is shopping online, which provides allows them get cash back and saving money. Whether it is books for his kids from Borders, Sun Warrior protein shakes for himself or the skin care line his wife has been buying for years from their dermatologist, they are now buying these products at a fraction of the cost via retailers on the ShopToEarth network.

How did Conine get introduced to the business? He was in the right place at the right time. His decorator led him to ShopToEarn while he was looking for a possible direct sales company to partner with and was considering Monavie. After Conine met with ShopToEarn’s Rich Soviero for a ShopToEarn/ShopToEarth business overvew, Conine said, “It was a no-brainer decision.”

“Every time I think to myself that I not only got to meet Jeff Conine and his wife Cindy, but that I went to their home and helped introduce them to this amazing business, I’m blown away,” said Soviero. “I was smiling from ear to ear while in their home and my wife was home dying because she has been a huge Conine fan for years. The Conine’s excitement with Shop To Earn has excited me even more. If you think about it, there are not many businesses out there that you can be involved with a major league player like Jeff Conine. He is an All Star on and off the field and we are proud to have him in our business.”
The ShopToEarn/ShopToEarth news crew went on location to film video testimonials for the Shop To Earn/Shop To Earth network at Conine’s home in Weston, Florida. Five videos were produced detailing ‘Mr. Marlin’s’ personal and business experiences with ShopToEarn.

The clips were filmed in Conine’s personal memorabilia room and will be used as part of Shop To Earn’s social media PR strategy. The videos will be released on Shop To Earn’s Facebook, YouTube and Twitter channels.

Conine calls Shop To Earn his “third career” after winning two World Series with the Marlins as a player and now serving as a Special Assistant to the Marlins’ President in the team’s front office.
