Thanks for making HNN the leading independent provider of retail websites for Herbalife distributors!
Herbalife has announced a new product and updates to the weight management programs.
The newest product is Hand Sanitizer, and you will find it under Immune Solutions in your HNN retail site.
Other changes include increased sizes of Formula One in all of the weight management programs. From Herbalife’s official announcement:
“By popular Distributor request, the 550g canister of Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix included in all of our Weight Management programs has been replaced with a larger 750g canister! You can now offer your customers a program containing 30 daily servings to support their nutrition needs.”
Increasing the sizes has also increased the overall price for the programs, and the HNN team has made all of the necessary changes to your retail sites.
Herbalife has just announced an update to their “Price Advertising Rule” which will affect your HNN retail website. Effective April 8th, 2010, all retail websites will be required to have a customer password before those customers can view prices. Here’s the information direct from Herbalife:
In 2009 Herbalife introduced a Price Advertising Rule in the US, which we are
updating at this time to include additional provisions which make it a requirement for websites that reflect
pricing information to be accessible to the general public ONLY via the use of passwords.
We view this as a positive development for distributors, as this will discourage the use of discounting as a promotional technique. You see, we believe that customers want to buy from the distributor who will serve them the best, and not just sell at the lowest price. Mark Hughes believed in ‘use, wear, and talk’, and this price rule will allow you to ‘talk’ to your customers before they see prices.
We’re going to use this opportunity to activate a customer login module we’ve been working on, which will allow your HNN retail site to stay in compliance with Herbalife’s rules, and allow repeat customers to login to a personal account for quick and easy reordering. We will do everything we can to make this as simple as possible for your Herbalife retail customers!
If you have questions about this rule, please contact distributor relations at (866) 866-4744.

LoseBig is getting closer to final release. There are still issues with the navigation (it’s a little confusing in places), but now you can:
Participants can also register using Facebook Connect which allows a Facebook user to register with their facebook account. There will be more Facebook tools coming soon.
If you’d like to register and help ‘kick the tires’, you’ll need to have a HNN account. Plese read through the blog entries and then proceed here to register:
You first use your HNN account to sign in, then you create a new account for the new LoseBig service. Over the weekend, I’ll be posting some “how-tos” which will show you how to use this new service.
Please don’t use for (real world) use yet.
Our new local WLC website is currently completing it’s first round of testing. We’re adding new features, improving the site navigation and tools, and getting ready to bring in a new group of distributors to review the site.
At first, LoseBig will be used primarily as a ‘landing page’ for your local WLC advertising, as well as online challenge registration and payment. After that, the next phase of development will be creating a series of reports for you to use for your challenges.
Our overall goal for LoseBig is to create a resource that will be so useful to you as a distributor, that you will want to use it for your challenges even if none of your participants do!
For example, the site will be able go generate attendance and statistic charts in PDF format that you will be able to print off and take with you to each challenge. Each week, you could record the participants weights on a form, then enter the data into the LoseBig website. Participants can then login and review their data, view graphs, and download the training PDFs from the site.
At the conclusion of the challenge, you could generate a professionally formatted report with their statistics on it, along with graphs and other data. You could print these and hand them out to each participant (for those who don’t use the site), or your participants could log into their account and download it themselves, if they wish.
We have a lot of questions for you as we complete the website, and your feedback is critical. If you could take a few minutes and review these questions, and then send us your answers we would greatly appreciate it. Also, if you have any templates for reports that you would be willing to share with us, that would be outstanding.

Great reminder when the days are long and dark… Spring is Coming!
As you may know, Herbalife has made changes to their Weight Management Programs and to the labeling on several of their products. In short, the Shapeworks Protein Plus programs are no longer available in the US; in addition, the contents and price of the Ultimate program has changed.
HNN US retail sites have been updated for the members. However, if you had any of the Protein Plus programs as a Featured Product, you will need to adjust your selections in the HNN Members area. Just log in at http://herbal-nutrition.net/ go to Manage Store, then choose Featured Products. Make your changes and hit Update at the bottom of the page.
Also, please note that the following products have had label changes:
Schizandra Plus
Herbal Aloe Ready to Drink
Finally, in addition to new labels …
RoseOx is now RoseGuard
Tang Kuei Plus has a new SKU: 0566
Again, HNN websites have been completely updated. If you don’t see the changes
the next time you view your site, please click on View, then Refresh, or hit the F5
button on your keyboard.
Merry Christmas from the HNN Team!
If you missed Michael Johnson on Jim Cramer’s Mad Money the other night, you missed a great interview. It was about 10 minutes long and Jim Cramer talked with Michael Johnson about how Herbalife is thriving in these difficult economic times. HLF’s stock has had some ups and downs over the past few years (as many companies have), but Herbalife is now at a 52 week high. Michael even discusses some facts about the new markets Herbalife is opening, including Vietnam.
Herbalife is a very well-run company, and this video segment could also be used for your recruiting efforts to help show people how great the business model is, and how Herbalife distributors are going to OWN 2010!
We’re ready for some feedback on our new local WLC site. Here’s our first publicly released screenshot. A lot of things are still subject to change, but I think you’ll get the idea. We are currently planning on launching this site for use in January 2010.
We’re following the same development model we used for the WorkFromHomeSystem.com website – put something basic online where distributors can try it, use it, and make ‘real-world’ suggestions for improvement. We then compile a list of suggestions and rework the site to implement your feedback.
