Marlo Quinn Review and Profile

Marlo Quinn no longer appears to be active as a direct sales company.

Original Npros business profile for Marlo Quinn, preserved below for archival purposes:

Marlo Quinn was a Tennessee-based direct-selling company that entered the market in 2006, offering natural bath and body products, skincare, mineral cosmetics, and soy candles through independent consultants. The company promoted products made with natural, botanical, organic, and vegan-oriented ingredients and developed separate product offerings for women, men, and babies. Its soy candle line included a large selection of fragrances and formats, including container candles, travel tins, and wax tarts. Historical company listings placed its operations in Farragut, Tennessee.

The company used a low-cost network marketing and direct-sales model. Consultants could reportedly join for $10 and received a personalized online store without inventory or monthly sales requirements. Representatives earned a 25% commission on personal sales and could earn an additional 5% on the sales of distributors in their organization through three levels. Products could be sold online, directly to customers, or through home parties. Marlo Quinn also offered fundraising programs, with participating organizations receiving 30% of sales and the referring consultant earning a 10% commission.

Marlo Quinn experienced rapid early recruitment. In October 2006, an advertisement offering the business for sale stated that the company had more than 3,000 consultants, only a few months after its launch. The advertisement described the business as an e-commerce operation selling candles and bath products manufactured and drop-shipped by an outside supplier.

The company's run was extremely short. Consultant reports indicate that Marlo Quinn abruptly closed around February 1, 2007, and its website disappeared shortly afterward. The original Marlo Quinn direct-selling operation never resumed, and its former websites, MarloQuinn.com and MarloQuinn.net, are no longer active company sites.
