    Fuller Life, Tupperware to
    operate as one entity

    MORE variety translates to higher sales. This, as sellers of expect to benefit from the integration of two multinational direct-marketing companies, Fuller Life Direct Selling Philippines and Tupperware Philippines, starting July.

    The integration dubbed “The Power of Two. Bigger. Better. Fuller” will consolidate back office, logistics and selling operations of the two businesses.

    “Since Tupperware is one of the strongest brands in the Philippines for 42 over years, its inclusion in the Fuller Life umbrella brand will add more premium and opportunities for customers and sellers,” explained Pablo Perez, managing director of Fuller Life Direct Selling Philippines.

    He added, “Tupperware’s more than 25, 000 sellers will be welcomed to Fuller Life’s over 180, 000 sales force to continuously service our over 90 branches nationwide. More coverage will mean easy access to consumers.”

    On top of the company’s plan to give their clients “wonderful product offerings and exciting perks,” it also hopes to break the $100-million annual gross sales recorded last year.

    Perez said, “We’re looking at double-digit revenue this year, Tupperware can sell an incremental of more than $15 million in the Philippines alone.”

    Asked about his assessment on the direct-selling business amidst the weakening spending habits of Filipinos, Perez gave an optimistic reply. “Direct-selling growth here will not decline despite unfavorable economic factors, as sellers will be more active in offering products backed by word of mouth,” opined Perez.

    The executive said that to further support and inspire Fuller’s “growing family,” outstanding dealers who have accumulated large sales may avail themselves of a car plan.

    Tupperware now joins Fuller Life’s global brands of portfolio that include Playtex, Hanes, Champion, Wonderbra, Colour Collection, Ivana, Nutrimetics and Zwitsal.

    Perez disclosed a foreign skin-care brand will be added in their product range this September to further improve the company’s growth and presence.

    The executive expressed confidence on the quality of Tupperware brand being the households’ storage and serving choice through the years to keep food from contamination. Recently, the brand ranked second on the list of Fortune Magazine’s Most Admired Household Products.
