Growth in the Direct-Selling Industry Is the Result of Two

Growth in the direct-selling industry is the result of two trends.First, many direct selling retailers are expanding into markets outside the United States.The second trend is

A) increased gas prices and traffic congestion are causing people to want the store to come to them.
B) the pendulum is beginning to swing back to more mothers (and fathers) staying home during the day with children, making direct selling more convenient.
C) the purchase or lease of real estate to build an actual "brick" retail store is becoming prohibitive.
D) there are very few jobs for graduating business students; more than 40 percent have sought direct selling positions in the past five years.
E) there are a growing number of companies that are using direct selling to reach consumers who prefer one-on-one customer service and a social shopping experience rather than online shopping or big discount stores.
