Standards for DSA’s • The purpose of the standards are for DSA’s to both understand the minimum standards that DSA’s need in order to function and to encourage DSA’s to achieve more as their ability and resource permit • Bronze is the minimum for WFDSA membership since below this level there will be serious gaps in the DSA’s ability to act as the representative of the industry in the country. • Moving up to Silver and Gold does require more commitment but is achievable by most DSA’s.
Achieving Platinum! Platinum requires a DSA to stretch itself and through proactive activities. Platinum can be achieved by: • Mentoring another DSA to move up a level • DSA must launch a major media initiative aimed at improving the direct selling image • DSA must launch a major new education initiative locally aimed at generating a positive image of the industry within the industry sector • DSA must launch two or more major social media platforms which it will support on an on-going basis • DSA must launch a new major research study outside of the normal data that the DSA would look to capture for statistical purposes
DSA Toolkit on Efficient DSA Management: Membership Categories/Dues Structure • Full/Active Members – companies that manufacture or deal in goods or services intended to reach the consumer through a personal sales contact. Dues for such members are typically based on their net or retail annual sales; • Supplier Members – companies that provide goods and/or services to support direct selling companies. Supplies may pay a flat fee to join the association or be assessed dues on a sliding scale based on annual revenues. • Prospective/Provisional Members – prospective membership is designed to meet the requirements of both established companies and new direct selling businesses whose eventual aim is to apply for full membership. Terms of prospective membership vary from one DSA to another. Prospective/provisional members may pay a flat fee to join the association.

DSA Structure and Function: New Zealand • As a small DSA in a small population country, the New Zealand DSA has to work within tight constraints. How we achieve the results are through both member support and through working collectively with other associations. • Some key aspects on how this works: 1. The DSA contracts its services to the equivalent of the local chamber of commerce who provide a full time person available for as much or as little time is needed for the DSA to function. The resources of that organization are also available when required This is cost effective but ensures the ability to meet all the requirements of the DSA 2. Members assist when required for lobbying, organization of events and for other activities 3. Other functions are contracted out such as accounting to further reduce costs with oversight from the DSA Board
DSA Structure and Function: New Zealand 4. The DSA sets up a planned schedule of meetings each year including workshops by webinar 5. The DSA works with the DSA Australia to utilize some of their social media resources and website design skills 6. Over half of the members are organizationally based in Australia with limited or few staff in the country so we share our conference by having a New Zealand segment each year within the Australian conference. 7. We have a code administrator who is a retired high court judge and operates as an independent adjudicator. He only charges the DSA for any time he spends on DSA matters. 8. Membership matters so we proactively seek out new members that we believe will meet and adhere to our Code 9. We budget to ensure we spend time with both officials and government every year and lock this into our strategic plan
DSA Programs & Initiatives: Depending on your resources you can achieve a lot or a modest amount. Social Media Social media can be difficult to maintain so start with those you can manage easiest and build up. Share resources with or from other DSA’s if you can. Twitter - easy to start up and can be maintained from any device. A picture of activities and events are positives that can easily be placed on twitter. In New Zealand I maintain twitter almost exclusively from my mobile phone. Snapchat – again this can be maintained by any device and if you are posting to twitter then think about also doing a snapchat Facebook – Well known but make sure you have the time to maintain content
Social Media – The Australian Example Australia developed a strategic plan that included the need to have a real social media program targeting key areas. This meant they would target cross platform social media. This was achieved by: 1. Creating a new website for good visual and messaging 2. Placing a new video blog each week in the web site 3. Cross lodging the video along with other messages on facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. (You can go to any of these and see the same video via Vimeo links) 4. Real interviews with real people – Skype interviews with distributors talking about how they had benefited from being involved in the industry and then placed as a series of interviews timed to load up at scheduled times throughout the year. 5. Monitoring the likes and comments is critical. They do this again from a mobile device and address negative comments quickly.
