Malaysia's QNET Well-Placed To Penetrate Lucrative Spanish Online Market

KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 (Bernama) -- QN Europe, the European arm of Malaysia’s e-commerce direct-selling conglomerate QNET, is now well-placed to penetrate the Spanish market, which is regarded as one of the top 10 direct selling markets in Europe. This follows its admission as an official member of the Asociación de Empresas de Venta Directa (AVD) or Spanish Direct Selling Association, QNET said in a statement Monday. Spain is one of the top 10 direct selling markets in Europe, charting over US$892.15 million (751 million euro) in sales in 2019, with over 250,000 individuals involved in the direct selling industry actively contributing to the region’s economic and social growth. QN Europe general manager, Jérôme Hoerth, said that Spain has become one of the company's key growth markets in Europe as more people are getting involved in direct selling due to its flexible environment that can provide additional income and entrepreneurial opportunities. "Direct selling is an industry that is demonstrably resilient amidst tumultuous times, and we believe that it has the potential to fulfill the increasing demand for alternative, or gig-based, opportunities in Spain,” he said. QN Europe offers a diverse and innovative portfolio of products, ranging from home, beauty and wellbeing, to luxury products that meet the highest manufacturing standards in Europe. With the AVD membership, QN Europe joins the association’s extensive roster of veteran members such as Amway, Herbalife, Mary Kay, and more. The AVD was established in the 1970s to represent the interests of the direct selling sector in Spain, acting as an accreditation body for direct selling through the promotion of ethical policies and protecting the interests of those in the direct selling trade. QNET, the flagship business of the QI Group which has its operational headquarters in Malaysia, is being represented in nearly 30 countries with offices in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. In March this year, QN Europe was accepted into the Federation De La Vente Directe (FVD), or Direct Selling Association of France. Globally, QNET is a member of the Direct Selling Associations in Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Indonesia. -- BERNAMA
