SAN DIEGO, CA, Mar 16, 2017 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — Country serves as Gateway to Latin America Markets, Opening Door to Future Expansion
SAN DIEGO, CA–(Marketwired – Mar 16, 2017) – Youngevity International, Inc. (otcqx:YGYI), a leading omni-direct lifestyle company, today announced its inaugural corporate event taking place in Mexico March 24 and 25th. Youngevity’s Mexico head office is located in Guadalajara and is overseen by Country Manager, Alicia Gutiérrez. Alicia reports to Director for Latin America, Susana Azócar. As field leadership has grown in the region, the decision was made to launch an event strategy in Mexico similar to the event strategies Youngevity utilizes in support of its Associates in other countries around the world.
“We are proud to see Mexico expanding and to experience the momentum being created in this market by our leadership in the region. Mexico is quickly evolving as one of the faster growing countries where Youngevity does business,” stated Steve Wallach, Co-Founder, and CEO of Youngevity. “The Company has invested the time, resources and staffing to help ensure that this market will be well served by Youngevity and can represent the model for further regional expansion. We believe Mexico serves as the gateway to our Latin American markets.”
“Youngevity opened registration in Mexico in 2014 based on the growing success of the U.S. Latin market for our Company. As we look toward further expansion into Mexico, we applied our product lifestyle concept, our omni-direct business model, and identification of the best initial product mix — all of these aspects, together with country-specific customer service needs and distribution strategies, and now an event strategy should enhance the Youngevity brand experience in Mexico,” continued Dave Briskie, President and CFO of Youngevity.
Product categories currently available in Mexico represent a microcosm of Youngevity’s virtual main street of products, and include: nutritional supplements, all-natural spa and beauty products including Youngevity’s therapeutic-grade essential aromatherapy oils, triple-certified coffee, and the Mialisia jewelry collection.
