Nikken is an MLM company that started in Japan in 1975. Nikken entered the US market in 1989 and it wasn’t until the following year that we took a look at the opportunity. It has been growing rapidly since then. The chief product from Nikken is magnet therapy for body pain.

In my opinion, the payment plan Nikken created is a little rough around the edges. and a larger initial investment than most other mlm companies I’ve been a member of.

But I’ve been told you can join at a intro price of $49.95 for NIKKEN’s sales kit. Now, NIKKEN does recommend that you purchase the Demo Pak (so that you can do demonstrations) and the Career Pak (which contains alot of the items NIKKEN carries). That’s when Nikken starts to get really expensive to get involved in.

In my opinion Nikken reps push the limits of truth as I’ve heard some far fetched claims about what their magnets can do. Some of it really sounds made up. And they sell these magnets at an obscene markup.

The company sold $700 Million last year in Japan. I wonder what happened to the collapse. Nikken claims to have 30,000 active distributors in America doing the business.

The idea of selling magnets is strange, I will admit. I was very skeptical when I was first approached by a Nikken distributor and introduced to the product line.

Be sure to look in the area about the Nikken career opportunity. There is information on the marketing plan, top US distributors, car/home incentive program, and misc company and opportunity information.

Magnet therapy at the moment is on less solid ground as the much quoted (by Nikken) Baylor scientific study of magnets is being called into question as possibly false.

I’ve heard some interesting things from the Japanese point of view. Americans are gaining a reputation around the world of being among the most gullible patsies there are. I think Nikkin is aiming their alleged miracle alternatives at the same people who buy the tabloids.

A friend of mine has been busily selling their products, essentially a close cousin to refrigerator magnets that will cost you $25 a pop. But I believe most refrigerator magnets are much stronger than these. And a lot less money. Most refrigerator magnets will stick to the side of your fridge and hold their own weight plus that of the decorative device glued to them. But I’ve been told the Nikkin ones won’t.

I’ve seen many Nikken distributors on the net sniffing out anyone who has admitted to having any imaginable affliction and will give them a sales pitch about how her magnets are the magic panacea. The biggest problem with Nikken for their distributors to overcome is the questionable befefits of their magnets.
