What a friggin joke.
If you were a publicly traded company, your main obligation is to serve the best interest of the shareholders. In other words, make some MONEY!
Then why in the Hell would a company enforce such restrictive rules and regulations upon your sales staff and hinder their ability to promote and sell the company's product?
That is exactly what Tupperware, a publically traded company with a stock symbol of TUP does.
I explained this situation to a good friend of mine, and she came up with the best analogy I have heard... It is like playing the game, Taboo, [from Wikipedia]
The objective of the game is for a player to have their partner guess the word on their card without using the word itself or five additional words listed on the card.
Killer Analogy (thanks Anna)!!!
Tupperware consultants, according to their "Internet Policy", are not allowed to use the word Tupperware when advertising their website.
Oh Really??!?! hmmmmm....
THEY, TUP, claim, that anyone with enough money to advertise will take all the traffic directed to the various Tupperware Internet Sales Sites, (including their own).
And that is only part of the reason they impose such restrictions, rules and regulations on their "Internet Specialists".
Well Shit.. if I want to spend my money with Google or any other advertising agency, on the word Tupperware, or the word Toecheese, for that matter, ITS MY GODDAMN BUSINESS!
I don't pitch a fit or cry foul that I can not afford to take out a SuperBowl Sunday ad promoting Tupperware?!!?! The companies that can AFFORD to promote their product take out ads on SuperBowl Sunday, those who can not, don't. Its that GodDamn simple.
It can not get any more clear.
It is the American Way.
It is Capitalism.
It is what shareholders LOVE.
It is why the Middle East HATES US!
It is the same concept within Tupperware. If you want to spend your money advertising the taboo word, Tupperware to drive traffic to their site, they should be able to. Its THEIR GD money!!!
Unless I am completely high
this is the clincher as I see it... all sales proceeds from the Tupperware Consultants' websites all go toward the bottomline of Tupperware, or TUP, if you will. Did I mention that Tupperware is a publically traded company with a stock symbol of TUP??? Wouldn't the Tupperware company WANT this? Or I should say, the Shareholders? Shareholders want MORE sales? no Matter WHERE it comes from? I say YES... nyet... I say "HELL YES"
I honestly believe that the KnuckleNuts at the top of the CrapperWare foodchain are getting a piece of the pie, and that when an honest, hardworking person that thinks outside-the-box comes along, shakes the tree and threatens their BullShit, Territorial, Bogus policies, they hide behind these restricting policies in order protect their piece of the pie....
WOULD THE Tupperware Shareholders approve of this practice???
Perhaps after I buy 5 shares of TUP, attend the shareholders meeting and bring these faulty, bogus, territorial sales practices to the Board of Directors and the rest of the Shareholders. I really don't think they will like, once they think about the BottomLine.
oh yeah.... listen to zizakdotcom
bitches.

Thank you for putting the frustration we "Tupperware Internet consultants" into words! What da hell? How does Tupperware think it will be successful in the new age of "technology" by shoving its consultants out of it? Guess they can sit high atop their thrones of internet millions and look at their "home party" consultants, cracking the whip of "recruit and date more parties", and laugh thinking they will be making all the money they need. I think not! I was ready and willing to spend my hard earned money advertising for the all mighty plastic...because as a "consultant" I thought I would get the word out a lot faster than the corporate world could. Do they seriously think that their own "Plastic IT department" can do better and keep up with search engine optimization? Yeah right, I highly doubt it. O.K. Tupperware nazi's you have made me resolve myself to the un-betterment of the world and go back to filling the landfills and my garbage can with the "Glad disposables". It's all your fault, Tupperware/Crapperware....and Im sure this will all lead to "Global Warming"....then what will you do!!!!??????
