Over the past month or so I’ve received word that several direct sales and MLM companies suddenly closed their doors completely or discontinued their direct sales divisions.

In January, Affordable Luxuries (which sold several brand name candles, including Yankee Candles) abruptly closed.

Just last week, Gold Entertainment discontinued it’s MLM program stating that it was “no longer economically viable.” Members marketed that service through MyMovieBiz.net.

It appears that Creative Living Network is no longer operational as the website now forwards to it’s parent company www.duncancrafts.com and there is no mention of a direct sales opportunity. Products are available at retail craft stores.

Ravenwood Spa is still retailing products, but also discontinued its consultant program.
