YOUNIQUE

Younique is a direct-sales company specializing in nature-inspired cosmetics and beauty products. Founded in 2012 by Melanie Huscroft and Derek Maxfield, Younique relies on a growing network of independent entrepreneurs — Younique Presenters — to market and sell its products through a variety of digital channels. Younique is based near Salt Lake City, but the brand is open to Presenters and customers in more than a dozen countries worldwide: the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kin... gdom, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Belgium, Austria, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, and most recently Columbia. Resources and Support for Younique Presenters Younique pioneered a “social first” approach to direct beauty product sales, and Younique Presenters continue to leverage social media channels like Instagram and Pinterest to build and scale their businesses. From day one, every Younique Presenter gets access to a robust collection of sales resources and tools to build a successful business: - A personalized e-commerce store where potential customers can find and purchase beauty products - The Younique Rewards Links are a publicly visible way to easily earn Y-CASH credit (product credit) from purchases from customers - The Younique Back Office system, which includes everything Presenters need to manage and grow their businesses - An array of text and video resources to help Presenters get started, troubleshoot e-commerce issues, and more Younique Presenter Earnings Younique Presenters earn commission on every product sale — starting at 20% and increasing as Presenters progress. Younique’s Instant Royalties process pays out within three hours of each sale, and Younique also offers monthly Royalties to high-performing Presenters who reach predetermined monthly sales milestones. Younique in the Community Younique is proud to donate 10% of the profits from its product sales to Saprea, a nonprofit organization that works closely with survivors of sexual abuse and helps parents and caregivers address and prevent abuse in vulnerable young people. Younique is also on a mission to support women entrepreneurs everywhere. For their part, Younique Presenters get access to the Younique Family, an international community of entrepreneurs built around the simple idea that everyone deserves to look and feel beautiful — inside and out. Younique’s Co-Founders Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Derek Maxfield spent more than a decade as a software developer in the direct-sales industry before developing the vision for Younique with Huscroft. He saw the potential for transformative improvements to the direct-sales model and doubled down on the mobile revolution when many were still skeptical. This set the stage for Younique’s anytime-anywhere digital sales model. Younique co-founder and Chief Visionary Officer Melanie Huscroft balanced a career as a marketing and sales professional with her role as a full-time mom for more than a decade before launching the brand with Maxfield. Today, she is responsible for Younique’s visual identity — from digital design to packaging — and for interfacing with Younique Presenters. Both Maxfield and Huscroft live by Younique’s corporate motto — “Keep it simple, keep it special” — and this influences every interaction with Younique Presenters and customers. Both are devoted parents and spouses who enjoy nothing more than spending time with their families.More
