Description
USANA USANA is nutritional supplement company located in Utah. USANA is noted as one of two or three nutritional products that are pure enough to be listed in the PDR for pharmaceuticals.  (PDR is the Physician Desk Reference and means the standards are pharmaceutical.)  The typical supplements sold in drug stores are "food grade" which means that they only need be within ten percent of their stated ingredients.

Dr Wentz is the developer of the product and is still with the organization.  He believes so strongly in health and nutrition that he takes no compensation from the company.  Here is a example to disprove the "pyramid" concerns.  (See more about this)

People choose supplements for health reasons and USANA for effectiveness.  (The number of athletes who are suspended due to "doping" problems shows one dimension of the supplement problem.  While there are athletes who knowingly use banned substances, many of them are trapped unaware that the nutritional supplement contained those substances because of lax quality control.  (Note the recent quality problems in China.) 

USANA has had a $1million guarantee that should an athlete using USANA fail a drug test, USANA will pay the athlete $1million.  Should that occur, just think of the damage to USANA otherwise.)

USANA is a great opportunity for people who are concerned about health and nutrition.  The company is mature.

 
Ambit Ambit is an alternative supplier of natural gas and electricity located in Dallas Tx.  Ambit is able to predict usage of both to an unprecedented level of precision.  As a result, Shell Oil has become a major funding source of the business. 

Ambit is a response to the de-regulation of the utility industry.  This is the last of the major industries to de-regulate.  (Remember the telephone industry and its de-regulation of about 20 years ago?)

Ambit offers natural gas and electricity into several states where the utilities have been deregulated.  The product is sold by the referral marketing approach.  Direct Marketing is a $2 trillion business in this country.

The plan depends on the states where Ambit is approved.  Ambit is expecting approval for the State of Ohio in the first quarter of 2009.

In Illinois, the savings are guaranteed to be at least 1% over NICOR.  Texas varies with homeowners experiencing savings of as much as 25%.

Ambit is a great opportunity for people who want to want to be at the beginning of the next, actually probably the last deregulation.  Ambit is relatively new, but the founders include Seven Eleven corp.
 
NetTrav NetTrav is a discount travel service that competes with Orbitz, Travelocity, and others.  Unlike the others, NetTrav pays a commission to the people who direct customers to them.

Even during the economic environment we are facing, people will still travel and their interest in doing so at the least cost will be even more important.

 
IVO Straightedgemarketing, located in Tennessee, is the developer of an Internet overlay to dramatically personalize web sites without requiring involvement by the company web staff.  The service is sold on a referral marketing approach.

IVO provides a highly effective means of communicating with prospective customers of a business.  Again, the current economy requires people to "do business" again and IVO is a cost-effective way of getting customers to a business.

StraightEdge Marketing is relatively new.  The service is on the cutting edge of Internet technology and its movement toward personalization and "humanization."
