A Review of Nopalea and TriVita From An MLM Industry Standpoint

Have you heard of Nopalea, the newest addition to the TriVita family of health supplements? 

As an active, thriving member of the mlm business community, I’m always interested in what’s new on the mlm horizon.  Being a health and fitness advocate (and my wife being a bit of a nutritional supplement fanatic), the health and wellness industry particularly interests me.  That being said, with this being a review of both Nopalea as the product and Trivita the company, let me clarify right now by making it clear that I AM NOT a member of TriVita nor do I use any of their products…at least not at this time.

Let’s start with a look at the Nopalea juice itself.  That’s right, ANOTHER nutrition drink.  So what’s the deal with Nopalea?  By the way, I consider myself (and my wife Beth) to be pretty well qualified to do this review from both a network marketing industry standpoint and a nutritional mlm point of view because of my experience and success in the industry, and my past involvement with a very successful company and their great nutritional products.  Back to the nutrition juice.  From everything I’ve read and heard, TriVita definitely has the science to back up their claims about the antioxidant power of the fruit of the Nopal Cactus, a.k.a Prickly Pear Cactus, the most important ingredient of their new flagship product.  To date, more than 280 scientific papers have been published on the benefits and properties of the Nopal Cactus.  In other words, it’s good stuff.  So the Nopalea the product seems to have merit.

However (how come there always seems to be a however?), you’re still dealing with yet another health and wellness product (which by the way is a fantastic industry), and yet another nutrition juice with super antioxidants.  What this translates into is, while it’s great to be passionate about your product(s) (like my wife is with these things), don’t make that your focus if you choose to make TriVita your primary (or even secondary) mlm business.  No matter what your product, you should be selling YOU and Your System, and not your juice.  More on that later.

Now on to the company, a nutraceutical company based in Scottsdale, Arizona.  I’m sure that people will look at this from two points of view.  One being that it’s a great positive to have an established and stable company over 10 years old with a great track record, and the other being that it’s been around too long already and you want to get in at the top of a really up-and-coming company.  From an industry standpoint, the former is definitely better.  Many of these new companies are here today and gone before 2 years have passed…probably the amount of time it would take you (especially without the right system in place) to get to the place where there is more income than outgo in your business.  That would absolutely suck!

Although this is not what is termed a “ground floor opportunity,” with TriVita’s newest product, Sonoran Bloom Nopalea, coupled with their newly revamped pay plan, you have the chance to be a part of what will probably be a pretty good “growth spurt.”  They’re also using an innovative marketing strategy that includes marketing their products through their own website and TV infomercials as well as the usual network of independent affiliates. Putting a different slant on its marketing plan, the company is selling customer leads to its affiliates through what has been termed the “Media Acquisition Program” (MAP), and they call this method of shared marketing “Cooperative Marketing.”

However (here comes that however again), there is a definite downside to this kind of marketing system, and that is the cost.  Although it is really inexpensive to get started with TriVita for even the most financially challenged, the marketing program is not.  While it appears that this system provides an alternative solution for people to actually get prospects to join as well as get some customers so they can start generating some income, the costs are a little high for most people just starting out.  After all, the low costs of starting a home based business, along with the beauty of leveraging, is what draws so many folks into a network marketing business in the first place. That was definitely the case for us.   

DISCLAIMER here: First, other factors may enter into the cost of the marketing plan (like earning “free” prospects from your upline), so do YOUR OWN research to get all of the facts, and Second, it has yet to be proven that this marketing system really works.

CORRECTION/ADDITION: Some information regarding “TriVita’s “Cooperative Marketing” business model was brought to my attention by a TriVita associate, and since this marketing plan is one of the things that is unique about and draws attention to this mlm opportunity, I thought it only fair to add that information here.

This cooperative marketing plan involves TriVita’s generating paying customers from their tv, radio and other advertising which in turn can be purchased by their affiliates at a cost of $50 each, with affiliates being able to buy up to 100/month (at the time of this writing). Let me be clear that these are not leads, but customers who have already purchased product from the company. This is something quite unique in the mlm industry, and I thought it worth adding the correct information here.

Through my research it is my understanding that in addition to providing customers for “sale”, if one chooses to join the company at the associate level, Trivita gives the new associate up to 25 buying customers, which gives them a pretty good jump start. However, I am not certain of the cost of joining at the associate level.

My conclusion about Nopalea and TriVita from a mlm business and industry standpoint?  While I don’t endorse it personally, anyone can see from the documented research that has been done on the Nopalea Cactus that the product has merit.  And you certainly can’t accuse a well established 10+ year old health and wellness company of being a scam, so we agree that it is a stable company, and it appears to be striving to be forward thinking in both their pay plan and their marketing strategy.  Now whether or not these points are worthy of your further study is totally your call. 

I’m going to throw in an important tip here:  no matter how “great” the product or company is, that should NEVER be the focus of your mlm marketing strategy.  If you’ve read any of my articles before, you’ll recognize this as a recurring thread, because it’s that critical to your success.  Having the right marketing system in place for your network marketing business is key, whether you’re just getting started or have been trying to develop your business for 2, 5 or even 10 years. 

So don’t just do your research on a product or company, make sure you have the right marketing system in place, and you will reach heights you’ve only dreamed of in your business. Click on this link If you want the full trivita-nopalea-review
