For the fourth consecutive year, Internet Retailer has ranked Quixtar as the top online retailer in the Health & Beauty (H&B) category, placing 22nd overall based on web-generated sales.
Grand Rapids, Mich. (PRWEB) June 6, 2007 -- For the fourth consecutive year, Internet Retailer has ranked Quixtar as the top online retailer in the Health & Beauty (H&B) category, placing 22nd overall based on web-generated sales.
Internet Retailer's "Top 500 Guide" ranks America's largest retail websites based on 2006 sales. According to the publication, online sales topped $136 billion in 2006, a 21% increase over the previous year. Of Quixtar's $1.118 billion in 2006 revenues, $880 million were generated online, up 10% from 2005 online sales of $800 million.
"Quixtar Independent Business Owners (IBOs) deserve the credit for our high ranking and our continued business success," says Jim Payne, Quixtar's Managing Director. "Our business model relies on their efforts to drive sales at www.Quixtar.com, and as a result they earned more than $370 million in bonuses and incentives last year."
Quixtar's continued success in H&B also can be attributed to the strong showing of exclusive brands like NUTRILITE® nutritional supplements, ARTISTRY® skin care and cosmetics, XS™ Power Nutrition, and others.
"We're very pleased with Quixtar's performance last year and excited about our prospects for 2007," says Payne. "We're working on a number of new programs to help more IBOs make more money sooner, including initiatives to increase awareness of our Nutrilite and Artistry brands and to create stronger product pathways to profitability. Those efforts include product portfolio enhancements, additional training, and improvements to our compensation program. We hope these efforts will help maximize the partnership with IBOs that we enjoy and that is critical to our business success. "
