Alticor Media Blog is the official news weblog from the Alticor family of companies.
Okay, complete this series: Britney, K-Fed, Hannibal Lecter, Chee-tos… Amway?
Well, you be the judge.
Don’t know what it says about us that we had to hear about this from a dentist. Worse, not sure what it says about the dentist.

We just released our sales numbers for 2006.
Overall, we are in full swing:
We weathered an expected decline in China, though after earning a direct selling license there in December, we are all smiles for 2007.
In 45 of our 57 markets, sales were up. Europe and Latin America did very well for us. Japan […]

A hallmark of U.S. culture: Everybody’s entitled to their own opinion. Like the gentleman who wrote us the other day to complain that the Orlando Magic weren’t giving guard J.J. Redick enough playing time, and could we please do something about it. Sir, we’re sorry, but we only bought rights to the name that goes […]

Yes, it is true, the old O-rena, the former TD Waterhouse Centre, the “Arena in Orlando” will become Amway Arena.
No, our licensing agreement will not require Stuff the Magic Mascot to toss samples of SA8 out to fans. Nor will we replace official game programs with reprints of Consumer Reports.
Sure, we […]

Haven’t forgotten about all of you. In fact, we were thinking about you on our drive in this morning, through a West Michigan ice storm that had cars slewing around like tipsy otters dancing in an over-waxed ballroom. Not that you remind us of otters. Or that you’re tipsy.
Really, we need to work on our […]

Today’s Grand Rapids Press mentions our company lending a hand to stock new library books in the Grand Rapids Public Schools.
Seems like only yesterday, you were sifting through card catalogs, immersed in some far, far away tome between towering stacks. Even if today’s youth seem to prefer MySpace over “My Side of the Mountain“, […]

What a great surprise to open today’s New York Times and see this article offering tips on a 36-hour getaway to our hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Prominently featured are the area’s many works of sculpture along the Grand River and at Meijer Gardens — though we, of course, turned our focus to the nice […]

Finally, a chance to return to talking about business. Crain’s Detroit Business recently published a special fall supplement, “Living and Investing in the D,” about, well, living and investing in Detroit. And there, on the inside back cover, was a nice compliment: a full-page ad from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, headlined, “Start-ups have always […]

We were pleased to see James Prichard’s corporate background story hit the wires this afternoon. One of the things that we constantly struggle with…is the complexity of this company, its business model, its product offerings, and its personalities. And that’s without the extra noise and controversy that’s been kicked up around the Michigan governor’s race. […]

Never stopped to think, really, about where we’d like the government to put our picture. Postage stamp good, of course; Post Office wall bad.
But our picture on… a license plate?
Yep. Uh-huh. Yeah, buddy. Says so right here.
When the state of Michigan phases out its old blue plates next year, the new plate will feature a […]
