The Greensboro-based company, which markets and sells everything from cosmetics to furniture from its Web site and network of independent distributors, hopes to open a call center and distribution center in the island nation as early as next March, said Joe Bolyard, executive vice president at Market America. The initiative, Market Philippines, will have its own Web site, marketphilippines.com.ph.
Bolyard said he expects the Philippines to represent about $30 million in sales in the first full year of operations.
