Now let’s find out what NU SKIN has been preparing. What are the competitive edges that it possesses? NU SKIN helps you embrace a successful future!
Competitive Advantage 1: Knowing the Channels
“Channeling” was the reason why Wal-Mart, the U.S. retailing giant, earns a total revenue of US$ 220 billion, outruns Exxon Mobil and ranks first in the service sector for two consecutive years, as Fortune Magazine pointed out in 2010. It was also the exact reason why 7-ELEVEN can make its way to success with more than 3,000 branches and an annual revenue of tens of billions in Taiwan. The book “Channeling is a New Revolution”《通路創新革命》proposes the concept: “Channeling is the Trump Card in the Low-profit Age.” Only those who know the channel can grasp hold of the privileges and gain upper hand in the brutal market that champions survival for the fittest.
Do you know what channels are you holding in NU SKIN? According to a research from the U.S. headquarter, 57 % of the NU SKIN business partners in the U.S. possess an undergraduate degree or above, nearly 2 times higher than the average value among the industry (31%) announced by the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations. The extensive and solid channels built by quality business partners in NU SKIN let products and business opportunities make way for success.
Competitive Advantage 2: Strength in Innovative Research & Development
Founded in 1984, NU SKIN has always been an enterprise leaping for best of the best. The Company always upholds the “All-of-the-good, none-of-the-bad” and “Provided by Nature.

It adopts the attitude of sustainable business operation and never gives in before reaching perfect quality.
Up to now, NU SKIN has already launched more than 200 products within 16 product lines in Taiwan, while PHARMANEX has also introduced more than 29 nutritional supplements. The launching of new products can be continuously anticipated in future, which do not only fit the needs of everyone, but also add important indications to the bright future of the Company.
According to Annual Report of the Company in 2002, 60 % of the sales volume in NU SKIN products and 86% of that in PHARMANEX nutritional supplements are contributed by products innovated after 2000. This is solid evidence showing that NU SKIN’s resourcefulness in product research and development is being widely recognized by consumers.
Competitive Advantage 3: Enormous Market Potentials
The trend of aging societies is universally hard-hitting. That is why products that appeal for “youthfulness” and “health” have unprecedented market potentials. Being able to go seamless with the trend makes NU SKIN products distinctive. What’s more, both personal care products and nutritional supplements possess the characteristics that allow one to use every day from head to toe, and from the inside out. Such nature of products guarantees the sales volume of business partners, which sets a sound and secured foundation for the business.
Competitive Advantage 4: An International Market Crossing Time Zone Barrier

Services of high standard and continuous adjustments are the guiding visions and action rules for businesses that can stand the test of time, as J.W. “Bill” Marriott, CEO of the world’s biggest hotel chain Marriott International, pointed out in his new book “The Spirit to Serve”.
Since the inception of NU SKIN, the Company has spent efforts in adjusting the business model to keep its leading role in trends and currents. Starting from the acquisition of PHARMANEX in 1998, every adjustment of NU SKIN did not only bring the Company an enlarged scope of business opportunities, but also a firmer grasp of the market current.

Bill Gates addressed in his book “THE SPEED OF THOUGHT” the future stress of corporations in competitions in terms of speed, which has to be solved with internet technologies, synchronization in information sharing and the improvement of information utilizing efficiency, as these help getting the company to the clients quickly that help win the competitive advantage.
As early as the turn of century, NU SKIN spent an amount close to US$ 600 million in renovating the electronic system and software, which equipped business partners with resourceful IT service, including rich internet resources, online enquiry and ordering services.
Competitive Advantage 8: Financial Soundness
Research institutes often attributed the closing down of numerous large enterprises to their lack of financial soundness rather than plight in sales volume. In 1996, the transparency of the Company’s financial status was further enhanced when listed on Wall Street. A sound financial status and bright result was the biggest advantage NU SKIN offers to its business partners.
Competitive Advantage 9: A Corporate Culture of Giving
Morris Chang, Chairman of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company stressed multiple times in his speeches the importance of shaping a corporate culture, the core value of actions for a company.
