ZamZuu – An Overview of the Company
ZamZuu is a new offshoot of YTB International, the 29th largest travel seller in the US ZamZuu is their new e-commerce business solution, giving online retailers opportunities to get noticed on the web. The goal is to capture not just online sales, but all kinds of retail sales through personalized shopping experiences.
There are over 700 stores (all branded) that participate in ZamZuu. Members make purchases through the company online and then earn cash back and rewards for their purchases.
The opportunity
So how do reps make money? First, they refer new customers and receive rebates on purchases made by these newly registered customers. Second, they enroll new members of the ZamZuu team. Cash and rewards are earned based on the performance of your downline members and of course yourself.
The cost to join and start building your team is relatively low. There is a monthly fee of $49 and a one-time upfront fee of around $250. This is slightly cheaper than the program’s previous model, initially called ShopYTB shopping portal.
The company’s compensation program offers various incentives and rewards, but it’s hard to judge if this could be a great opportunity for every potential team member. The truth is that the success or failure of the opportunity really depends on the people.
Possible mishaps with ZamZuu
A persistent problem with ZamZuu and other MLM companies is their network marketing model. Many companies looking for new reps start with training materials – videos or brochures that outline the most successful ways to gain new customers and quality team members. But a fundamental problem lies in its technical marketing.
New team members are encouraged to go to their friends and family first. This is, in new school circles, known as the “pity sale.” Friends and family accept a sale and reluctantly make a few repeat purchases before calling it quits. Usually the seller gets frustrated and the opportunity he once promised so much fails.
The same can be said for the ZamZuu opportunity. It could be a great investment for someone willing to take the time to learn real-time marketing techniques for Internet applications. Imagine hundreds or thousands of people reading about your product, through your own website, with quality percentages of them converting into users! The possibilities through social media, SEO, and targeted marketing tools are literally endless.
Many people can (and have) learned the techniques to position themselves properly in the market with a product like ZamZuu. With the proper training, this could be a lucrative opportunity.
