USANA Preferred Customer Status Coming to Six More EU Markets
USANA’s reach in Europe will soon be growing. Starting in the second quarter of 2012, six additional European Union countries will be able to enjoy the benefits of USANA’s high-quality nutritional supplements, with more European markets to follow.
Preferred Customer status will soon be available to the residents of Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, Luxembourg, and Ireland. This move will follow on the heels of USANA opening in France and Belgium, which will make it possible to begin selling products in other European Union countries as well. Once these six additional markets are opened, residents will be able to enroll as USANA Preferred Customers and order products for personal use only.
Depending on the success of these countries as PC-only markets, there may be an opportunity to open them to USANA businesses completely, allowing residents to become full-fledged USANA Associates. But not yet. And while PC-only markets are a great opportunity to expand your customer base, the decision to open a new market on the continent will especially depend on the success of France and Belgium.
With the addition of these six countries, it’s an exciting time to be a part of the ever-growing USANA family. And this provides even more opportunities to spread true health—through USANA’s award-winning products—around the globe.

Q. What promotional activities can I do in these new markets?
A. None.
