Slightly different subject for the Gills board: I have seen quite a bit of debate going on with Luton fans in regards to this product/marketing. It appears to me that many of the comments appear to have been negative in my personal opinion, mainly due to the promotion by a particular player. This is one example via a link I have seen (comments contain swearing)...https://twitter.com/jonshaw101/status/260361167237681152/photo/1 The first I ever knew of the product/marketing was when it was brought to my attention via twitter, I have been followed by them a couple of times or maybe users promoting the product/marketing. However, part of my personal profile rules has always been to only generally follow and allow to be followed by Gills supporters with some exceptions. I don't think they are following me currently. Because of the players that I have seen promoting this product, I had allowed it to stay on my profile as a follow (not players) but did not follow back, hence on both occasions they eventually unfollowed me. I have read allegations about a pyramid scheme...http://pyramidschemealert.org/a-european-court-rules-herbalife-is-an-illegal-pyramid-scheme/ Just wondered if any one else had come across this product/marketing and whether you have any thoughts in regards to players promoting it. Any accurate detail would also be welcome in regards to this topic...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbalife
You probably worked out that spillsy17 is Danny Spiller! He has been promoting that stuff for a while now! Danny Spiller 21st October ''Herbalife is an amazing company, come and get involved and make it happen for you''
Yes and I was aware, in regards to your first sentence. I hasten to add the comments I originally refer to were not from a twitter source, however, that link was included within them. I think because I have realised for some time the amount of marketing via twitter, also my attempts to ignore it, led to the reason why the Hatters comments caught my attention.
I attended a meeting to recruit people for Herbalife some 20 years ago. It was very much like an American razzmatazz show, with speakers extolling the virtue of this "wonderful" product. I seem to remember the main aim seemed to be for people who joined to recruit more people,and then them to do the same. I believe if I remember correctly,you had to pay a fee to start. Some of the claims they made about the product seemed to infer that it could be used to help cancer sufferers,which I found an unbelievable claim. At the question session at the end ,I caused a bit of disruption asking them to prove their claims,which they then backtracked on.I felt it was a con and they were surprised that I wouldn't join, although quite a few of the audience did. Whether anyone apart from the organisers made any money out of it I don't know, but it all seemed to disappear from view for several years, until I saw Danny Spiller promoting it on Twitter, and he does seem to have people on there(mainly footballers) praising its effectiveness. It may work, but to me it seems its a vitamen pill by another name,but it was the selling of it and the way it was portrayed that put me off.
I remember the Mail on Sunday Finance Section once making a comment about the company. It alleged they had no true interest in herbal products, only in building up a world wide data base of peeps who would be willing to pay out 500 quid to go on one of their weekend seminars. Some relatives of mine got involved with HL, and used to send us HL products as Christmas presents...presumably unsold stock! How sad is that? As Mad Dog says, stick with the chicken salad and you can't go wrong!
Spiller promoting a fitness product! The irony is incredible. What next? Anton Ferdinand promotes the BNP?
Just seen on facebook that Danny Kedwell and his wife Viki are now distributors of this. Type the following name for more details: Viki & Dan Kedwell - Independent Herbalife Distributor. I am sure they will appreciate some followers.
I already follow Keds, however, I have no intention and will not promote or retweet anything containing said product.
