The Shopping Annuity Assessment makes building your Shopping Annuity more convenient, efficient and effective. Whether you are interacting with your Assessment on mobile, tablet or desktop, the site has been optimized for that device. This seamless design creates a better user experience regardless of which device you use to access it. Simply log into UnFranchise.com on any device to access the Shopping Annuity Assessment.

Step 1: Time Value
This exercise identifies the value of the time you spend shopping, an amount that will be saved when you build your Shopping Annuity. By entering your annual income and time spent shopping, you can see the true value that could be saved if you simply changed your shopping habits.

Step 2: Household
You will be asked to add more specific information on your household, such as the number of the adults, children, pets and vehicles, so that we can provide you with a more complete final report that takes into consideration your home’s makeup. In addition, these details allow us to generate your household’s estimated spending, and will automatically populate your annual spending and help us make more valuable recommendations for your specific household.

Step 3: Exclusive Brands
Simply check the types of products you use, in order to view the exclusive brands that are available instead of competitor brands. Remember, you receive the highest return on your spending when you switch to exclusive brands. When you view the results of your recommended exclusive brands, you will notice:

• Products are organized and broken down into categories such as Digestive Health, Children’s Support, etc.
• Products offer a Quick View to show important information, descriptions and testimonials. Additionally, you will be able to see social media images from other UFOs and customers who have used each product. Making the decision to switch from a competitor brand to your own brand right from your assessment has never been easier.

Step 4: Regular Spending
This exercise features categories and subcategories so that you can get granular about where your money is spent on a monthly basis. When you provide these additional details, we are able to make better store and product recommendations. For example, the Food category is broken down to include more subcategories. If you enter a value for baby food, we will recommend appropriate stores for that. If you put a 0 there, we know not to recommend those types of stores and/or products for you.

Step 5: Annual Spending
When you enter your household’s spending on recurring annual events such as birthdays, seasonal events and holidays, we’ll build a customized list of events that are important to you. Different types of events will prompt you with more specific questions to allow us to make personalized recommendations. For example, when you enter in a holiday, we will ask you if you are traveling or hosting, so we know whether to recommend stores for hosting an event or travel deals. The system will notify you via email or text (if you are opted in to SMS texts on UnFranchise.com) 60 days prior to your scheduled event to create a MyList and/or a gift registry — and then again 30 days prior to that event. It is important to take the time to select as many events as possible so that you have the opportunity to prepare for the annual spending you’re going to do anyway, redirect that spending to your own business, fund your Shopping Annuity, and even create new customers by sharing your registry with others.

Step 6: Projections
You can enter your organization’s details to view your projected earning and savings. If you do not have an organization, we recommend that you enter 10 partners on your left and 10 on your right who are participating in the Shopping Annuity, to see an estimate.

Step 7: Complete Report
The information you receive in your final report is personalized and interactive.

• View graphs that depict savings, earnings and your progress toward SAMM status.
• Products can be added to your cart, MyLists and Shopping Annuity AutoShip. You can either click the products you want, to put them into conveniently located lists, or you can drag and drop them into “rooms”/lists.
• Top stores with the highest BV and IBV are recommended based on your household size and spending.
• You can sign up for SHOP Local by linking your card in the assessment.

It starts with you. Once you have completed the Shopping Annuity Assessment, you have to implement the findings you were given. Not all spending is created equally. Let’s explore the best ways to get the biggest return and best products.

Start With Exclusive Brands: BV
The most effective way to fund your Shopping Annuity is to maximize the number of exclusively branded products you are using. There are thousands of products to choose from. It’s simple; for example, instead of buying a competitor’s brand of laundry detergent, buy your own exclusive brand. Why?

1. Superior Products. Market America Worldwide invests in long-term relationships with manufacturers that produce consistent quality products from year to year.
2. Best Prices. Because we don’t have the same overhead as our competitors, we can pass those savings onto our UnFranchise Owners and customers.
3. Highest Margins. You receive the highest return when you switch to exclusive brands. The average BV paid out on an exclusive brand is 80% BV per dollar.

For Everything Else, Partner Stores: IBV
For products that can’t be replaced with exclusive brand products, continue buying those brands but change how you buy them. Through SHOP.COM, the company offers millions of additional products and services from well-known stores like Target, Nike, Apple and more. The cost is the same as it would be shopping directly from the store's site, but SHOP.COM is able to pay Cashback, whereas individual sites do not.

There are multiple options for shopping through our Partner Stores:

• Super IBV: Consumable products and brands you know and love with increased IBV.
• Marketplace: More than 60,000 products available with increased IBV. Best of all, these products come from the same merchant, which reduces shipping charges to free or a nominal fee for orders below their threshold.
• Partner Stores: With thousands of stores to choose from, you can earn Cashback and 2% – 50% IBV.
• SHOP Local: Earn IBV when you purchase from participating local businesses in your community.

By now, you’ve taken the Shopping Annuity Assessment and are ready to maximize it by converting as much of your spending into earning as possible. Let’s be real — life can get really busy, and we may end up having to go to the store instead of shopping from ourselves for last-minute items. Without proper planning, getting the most out of your Shopping Annuity could become challenging. How many times have you had to go to the store to grab last-minute gifts, items for cooking, cleaning, paper goods and such?

The Uberization of the Shopping Annuity begins with automation and making it easier to convert your spending into earning. That is exactly what Shopping Annuity AutoShip does! By automating the delivery of products that you will be using on an ongoing basis:

1. Have Peace of Mind: Side-step the stress of trying to remember what you need to reorder all the time by automating those purchases.
2. Maximize Your Spending: Avoid going to a store to replace something you ran out of. Automate those purchases and ensure you have what you need and that you’re buying from yourself to fund your Shopping Annuity.
3. Save Valuable Time: Why repeat the process of buying products you buy all the time, when you could spend that time doing more valuable things, such as building your business?

So how does it work? It’s simple!
The first step toward automation is to create lists in the Shopping Annuity Assessment by dragging and dropping the products that are recommended for you. We’ve preloaded lists such as “laundry room,” “kitchen supplies” and more, but you can edit them to match your home’s space. By organizing your products into lists, you get a better idea of the products you need to meet your household needs. The drag-and-drop technology makes it simple and quick to create the lists. By simply investing your time once to create these lists, you can save yourself from having to organize them week after week.

Using the lists that you created in your Shopping Annuity Assessment, you can create as many AutoShips as you want. This allows you the flexibility to put the specific products you want on customized frequencies, rather than trying to figure out what needs to be shipped out on a monthly basis.

You’ll want to set up as many Shopping Annuity AutoShips as you need, based on what you would have reordered on an ongoing basis. The lists you created in your assessment are a great place to start when building your AutoShips, but you can also add any additional products by using the search bar. You can select as little as one item to put on an AutoShip, and you customize the frequency for that delivery. You can choose as frequent as every week or as infrequent as every year. Once you add products, you can easily see when the order will ship, select when to be charged, and even postpone an order or make changes to an order within 48 hours prior to it shipping. We will communicate with you via email when your items have shipped, if something is out of stock or discontinued, or if there was a credit card failure. If something is discontinued, we will automatically adjust the total of your AutoShip.

*** Shipping Tip: When creating your AutoShips, try to select from similar vendors such as the Marketplace — which has over 60,000 products — to reduce shipping charges.

Market America Worldwide provides a system for entrepreneurs to create supplemental income, while providing consumers a better way to shop. At the heart of this system is Market America’s Management Performance Compensation Plan (MPCP), which rewards each UnFranchise Owner with BV and IBV for all of the shopping they or anyone they lead to directly or indirectly does through SHOP.COM.

The Shopping Annuity takes 75% fewer people to earn the same amount of commission in income because it acts as a forced multiplier to accelerate supplemental income generated through the MPCP. By duplicating a business with a base of 10–15 customers and maximized personal consumption, the Shopping Annuity becomes rocket fuel for the MPCP.

Which would you prefer?

An organization of 50 people on the left and 50 on the right, performing the minimum activity to generate this income?

Or

An organization of five on the left and five on the right to earn the same amount of income?

The Shopping Annuity is a forced multiplier and requires only 25% of the people to earn the same amount of money.

To build supplemental income in any industry, you need to create leverage. The UnFranchise Business model is the driving force behind the supplemental income paid from the Shopping Annuity.

To create leverage, follow these simple steps:

1. Identify individuals who are committed to creating supplemental income.
2. Complete the Mini Shopping Annuity Assessment to see if they qualify.
3. Once they have qualified, share the UnFranchise Business Opportunity.

4. Launch your new UnFranchise Business Partner through the UnFranchise registration process.
5. Plug them into trainings. Mentor them to duplicate the same steps you have gone through: implementing the Shopping Annuity, creating a customer base, and prospecting and recruiting to grow an organization.

In order to benefit from the Shopping Annuity’s forced multiplier and create supplemental income, you must duplicate the basic activities of the Shopping Annuity with your organization. These activities include completing the Shopping Annuity Assessment, getting the maximum return by focusing on BV products, redirecting everything else possible through SHOP.COM, automating your Shopping Annuity to avoid missed opportunities, and continuing to grow an organization with your UnFranchise Business.

A basic one-year plan to grow your organization could look like this: Duplicate by helping just two households per quarter convert their spending into earning, and teaching those people to do the same.

Over a one-year period, that could multiply to look like this:

• Quarter 1: You and two households converting spending into earning
• Quarter 2: Nine households converting spending into earning
• Quarter 3: 27 households converting spending into earning
• Quarter 4: 85 households converting spending into earning

It’s all about the power of two. Teaching two people to duplicate converting spending into earning can quickly multiply to a strong organization.

People don’t generally recommend books they haven’t read or restaurants they haven’t eaten at. Personal recommendations stem from a person’s good experience with a product or service and the desire to help someone.

Creating a customer base can be as simple as recommending products you love to people who need them. Remember, people don’t care about features as much as they care about benefits. Very simply put, product education and why it works usually comes after a person realizes how it can solve a problem for them.

In order to generate interest in products and services, you should share first- and third-party testimonials. Those first-party testimonials will come from your personal experience with products. For example, if you’ve used the Skintelligence® pH Skin Normalizer, you might have a testimonial like this: “I used the pH normalizing spray on my face and loved how it felt, but the other day I realized that I could spray a little on my hair, too, and it completely got rid of all my frizz and fly-aways!” That testimonial gets someone excited about how that product can be a good fit for both their skincare … and as a bonus, hair care. Once you’ve got that conversation started, you can share product details, FAQs, comparisons and science by sending your customer a link to the product to learn more. The order of this process is critical — you want to start conversations first to identify needs and see if it’s a good fit before sending product information. In order to start good conversations, you must have some experience and/or exposure with the products. By using your own exclusive brands, you will organically build your knowledge of the products and create more stories to share with potential customers.

A second way to share testimonials with potential customers (or even to make a buying decision for yourself) is through third-party testimonials. When you view your Shopping Annuity Assessment, you will notice social media posts about our products that were posted by consumers. By learning how they use the products and what benefits they’ve enjoyed, you and your customers can make buying decisions easier.
