Direct selling

Direct selling is the marketing and selling of products directly to consumers away from a fixed retail location. Peddling is the oldest form of direct selling.

A textbook definition is: "The direct personal presentation, demonstration, and sale of products and services to consumers, usually in their homes or at their jobs." Industry representative, the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations, reports that its 59 regional member associations accounted for more than US$114 billion in retail sales in 2007, through the activities of more than 62 million independent sales representatives.
