ViSalus™ Sales Increase Seven-Fold to $231 Million in 2011 from $34 Million in 2010

All ViSalus Co-Founders Continue in Leadership Roles and Invest $14.6 Million Stake in Parent Company Blyth, Inc.

All three company co-founders, Ryan Blair, Chief Executive Officer; Blake Mallen, Chief Marketing Officer; and Nick Sarnicola, top sales leader, have agreed to stay on with ViSalus in their current roles. The founders personally invested $14.6 million from the proceeds of the acquisition in restricted stock of parent company Blyth, Inc., making them the largest inside shareholders after the Goergen family.

“We believe in Blyth. The Goergens have been like family to us so it only makes sense that we go all in with the Blyth family of companies,” stated Ryan Blair, co-founder and CEO of ViSalus.

“This answers the question as to the future of the founders of ViSalus and Blyth once and for all. We now own a significant stake in Blyth,” continued Nick Sarnicola.

“Our vision from day one was to build a great company that would stand the test of time,” said Blake Mallen, Co-Founder and CMO. “In 2008 we were privileged to become a part of the Blyth Family, and today we are honored to be significant shareholders. What excites me most is the lives we can impact together in the years to come.”

“We are gratified that Ryan, Blake, and Nick are continuing in their ViSalus leadership roles and have an enhanced presence with Blyth,” stated Robert B. Goergen, Blyth’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. “ViSalus’ market model and technology savvy is truly transforming the health and direct selling industries.”

When Skip and Cindy Taylor joined the Body  Vi 90 Day Challenge in June 2010, it was with the hope that they would be able alleviate the health issues that were negatively affecting their quality of life. Skip was a wresting coach who was tired of shouting out workouts to his team while he stood on the sidelines in pain after multiple surgeries. Cindy suffered from debilitating migraines and had a  counter full of over the counter medications she took daily just to cope.

Skip was working 70 hour work weeks, and Cindy was working the third shift. They were stressed, unhealthy, and barely saw each other -  just to make ends meet in a crushed Michigan economy.

One year later – their lives are forever transformed!

Their team has impacted thelives of thousands of people. Through there reaching out to promote the Body By Vi Challenge in their community, they have helped people to achieve their natural weight and in many cases, to leave behind the medications that were needed as a result of their obesity related diseases.

ViSalus Sciences Has Found a Recession Proof Formula for Success (Press Release) – Aug 03, 2011

The September issue of Success from Home just hit the book stores on August 2, 2011. In this edition, it catalogs their track record for success as a company on the move.

It was not long ago that Melanie Milletics was fed up with the antics in the home-based business world. While she had seen major success before, she became sick of the deception that so many companies led with. It was 2009, and the recession had done major damage to the direct sales industry, with sales down by 60% in the USA.  Like many who were sick of the industry, she almost quit her dream of working from home. She was in need of a company that could offer real opportunity in a recession. A company with stability that was run with integrity; a company she could proudly promote.

In the summer of 2009, Melanie was introduced to a company called ViSalus Sciences. She did her due diligence and expected to find the same flaws she had seen before…  However, this time Melanie found something different. She found a solid company with integrity that had products that people were seeing real results with and were priced for the recession. It was then that Melanie knew she had found a home with ViSalus. July 2009, the Body by Vi 90 Day Challenge was launched and Melanie’s trust in the industry was reborn.

In two short years ViSalus has rocked the home-based business industry with unsurpassed growth.  Their growth has not gone unnoticed by the likes of the DSA, Success from Home Magazine and the Wall Street Journal. Co-Founders Ryan Blair, Blake Mallen and Nick Sarnicola knew that combining passion for people with the principles of health and entrepreneurship was a formula for success. It is how they have helped everyday people become recession proof in an unprecedented time. Documentation beats conversation every day – and the growth numbers published by ViSalus show that it is undeniably the fastest growing home based business in North America.

It’s this community approach teamed with effective products and industry leading marketing tools that has created an infectious buzz on and offline with the Body by Vi 90 Day Challenge.
