Market America Delivers Message of Economic Opportunity to Entrepreneurs and Stars

We were there and r 1 of those entrepreneurs

miami, FL (Feb 9, 2009) – “I have an announcement about the recession…we choose not to participate.” That was the message delivered by James Ridinger, president and CEO of Market America, to an enthusiastic crowd of entrepreneurs at a sold out American Airlines arena at the company’s World Conference held Feb. 5-7. Over 25,000 attendees from the US, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia attended the conference to learn about the company’s newest products, services, technology and how they can leverage the Internet to earn an ongoing income. Despite a slumping world-wide economy, Market America saw sales increase by 20% in 2008 and projects continued growth for 2009. Market America made a number of announcements regarding enhancements and additions to marketamerica.com, of which most significant was that Market America has partnered with FAST, A Microsoft Subsidiary to index over 35 million SKU’s on marketamerica.com. Bjørn Olstad, Ph.D., co-founder of FAST and leader of the Enterprise Search Group at Microsoft was on hand for the announcement and spoke about how Microsoft FAST will improve site search for Market America’s 180,000 independent Customer Managers and six million customers.
