CVSL is a holding company of direct sales companies.〔()〕 CVSL was founded by its chairman, John Rochon, a micro-enterprise pioneer. John Rochon, Jr. is the CVSL Vice Chairman and Chairman of the Investment Committee. The CVSL community currently consists of Agel Enterprises, a global seller of nutritional products in gel form; The Longaberger Company, an American maker of handcrafted baskets and other home décor items; My Secret Kitchen, UK-based maker of gourmet foods; Paperly, the leading direct seller of personalized stationery and gifts; Tomboy Tools, seller of high-quality tools designed specifically for women; Uppercase Living, seller of vinyl expressions; Your Inspiration at Home, a maker of spices and other gourmet food items; and Golden Girls, international buyer of precious metals and jewelry. The direct selling industry functions through relationship-based commerce. Consultants or other sales force members sell products and services directly to customers. By bringing multiple direct selling, or micro-enterprise, companies under a single umbrella, CVSL maintains a self-contained network of contacts where social media is combined with commerce. Each company within CVSL maintains its own identity, leadership, and brand, but utilizes some shared financial and communications services through a centralized management team. The U.S. management team is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. CVSL's European headquarters is in Luzern, Switzerland. ==History== In September 2012, John Rochon named a board of directors that included experts in micro-enterprise, and announced his strategy of making CVSL a holding company for building a growing "consumer cloud" virtual community that would connect tens of millions of members.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CVSL )〕 First to join the CVSL community was The Longaberger Company, which joined in March 2013.
