FLINT RIVER RANCH


Could you use an extra $2,000 to $17,000 a month income?

If so, the Flint River Ranch pet food business is one of the most exciting and profitable opportunities you will ever run across!

Flint River Ranch produces GREAT Super Premium dog and cat foods with no chemical preservatives, no BHA, not BHT, no Ethoxyquin, no by-products, and no artificial flavors or colors, with delivery to your customer's home.

Imagine.... developing a network of hundreds of people across the United States ordering dog and cat food for their pets.... and Flint River Ranch sending you a check each month.

Under a standard wholesale/retail sales program, an individual purchases at wholesale and adds normal profit for a retail sale. The advantage is that you receive a profit return when a sale is made. The disadvantage is that there is a constant need to invest capital in product, overhead and advertising to generate profit. Customers relocate, change shopping habits and trade at other locations. When customers change, they are lost as a profit generator.

Flint River Ranch products are marketed through Associate Distributors by sharing product samples and information with pet owners.

Flint River Ranch distributors seek to generate and build "residual" income that increases over a period of months and years. They do so by investing time and effort in building a customer base. This does not require major capital investment in inventory and advertising.

Some Distributors purchase inventory to generate customer sales. The customer then is encouraged to order direct from Flint River Ranch. Other Distributors do not maintain inventory. They purchase samples or purchase product to make their own samples, then they simply recommend and share "food samples" and distribute product order forms to customers so the customer can purchase direct from Flint River Ranch.

The value to the business is the Flint River Ranch health foods are the finest on the market and they cannot be purchased in wholesale discount stores. Once a customer is registered to a Distributor, the Distributor receives commission income on all purchases under the terms of the Marketing Plan.

Some Distributors elect to become Senior Distributors by enrolling individuals that want to earn extra income as Distributors. A Senior Distributor receives bonus income on all sales generated by their downline Distributors and customers. The choice to be a Senior Distributor depends upon individual requirements.

The key to business growth is patience. Adding one customer or Distributor at a time, allowing the monthly income to build and compound from commissions and bonuses. The Flint River Ranch program is not designed to "get rich quick". It is structured to build a "residual" or "retirement" income with a few years of dedicated effort.



MARKETPLACE

A $20 BILLION DOLLAR A YEAR INDUSTRY.

"More than half of all U.S. households have pets, or, to be politically correct, animal companions. Americans as a whole spend about $20 billion a year on their pets. (They spend a mere $15.7 billion on both movies and home videos).

Increasingly, younger people, having delayed starting families, are devoting their attention to dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, pigs and other pets.

The pet is an individual with a personality, born into the home and treated as a family member. That is the paradox of the ultimate enchantment of pets. By choosing to be responsible for nonhumans, we can define our humanity." (Time Magazine, August 16, 1993)

The Petfood Industry Publication (June 1993) reported approximately 30.8% of all households own one or more cats. There are approximately 63 million cats in the U.S. Approximately 37.9% of all households own a dog, with an average of 1.33 dogs per household. There are approximately 52.3 million dogs in the U.S.

HEALTH FOOD FOR PETS

Pet lovers have learned there is a considerable difference in the nutritional, digestibility and health value of natural foods in comparison to those foods containing chemical preservatives, fillers, artificial flavors and colors. Pet lovers are concerned with providing the highest QUALITY food for their family companion and have an awareness of the health benefits of Super Premium Foods.

Flint River Ranch canine and feline all natural super premium food products adhere to the traditions of quality in animal nutrition and health. The best quality ingredients and higher digestibility are better for your pet's health and less expensive for you to feed. The higher the digestibility, the more nutrients a family pet can absorb. More nutrients mean more energy and better health.

Flint River Ranch super premium products are composed of natural ingredients of high quality poultry, fish, lamb and grains. These quality foods are fortified with vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C, E, B12 and zinc. The formulas are carefully blended for optimum balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates for good health.

There are no artificial flavors, colors or chemical preservatives like ethoxyquin, BHA and BHT used in other pet foods. The common chemicals used to prevent rancidity in pet food are BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) both known to cause liver and kidney dysfunction. Another fat stabilizer often used is ETHOXYQUIN, suspected of being a cancer-causing agent. Propylene glycol, a cousin to antifreeze, is found in many semimoist dog foods.

Any government health official or veterinary nutritionist that says feeding pets toxic chemicals will not have a deleterious effect on the pet's health has not fully studied the facts. The use of chemical preservatives may be associated with dry skin, allergic reactions, dental disease, poor health, lack of energy and degenerative organ dysfunction.


PET LOVERS READ AND UNDERSTAND PET FOOD LABELS

The Secret to good nutrition is not how many nutrients are present in a pet's food, but rather, how available they are and how efficiently they can be utilized when digested.

Flint River Ranch Super Premium Dog Food

The Flint River Ranch dog food formula is OVEN-BAKED under carefully controlled conditions and temperatures to change hard to digest starches into easy to digest dextrins which are readily absorbed into your dog's system. Right away you will notice the difference that our kibble is baked in "flat cookie" form and then broken into easy to eat size. It is not extruded in pellet form under high pressure and then sprayed with fat and other products in order to encourage dogs to eat. The good value is baked-in, not sprayed on.

Ordinary dog foods are made with corn. Flint River Ranch Super Premium dog food does not contain corn. Rice and wheat are easier for a dog to digest than corn; therefore, easier on your dog's system. Various selected parts of the wheat berry are used along with whole-wheat flour; it is one of the most nutritionally balanced grains. A combination of grains provides better nutrition than one grain.

From time to time you have noticed a change in your dog after feeding him or her different batches of the same brand of pet food. Your pet may have diarrhea, increased flatulence, a dull hair coat, intermittent vomiting, or may scratch more often. These are the most common symptoms observed over the years, and they all are associated with commercial pet foods.

Flint River Ranch Super Premium Cat Food

Flint River Ranch Super Premium cat food promotes low urinary PH and helps prevent F.U.S. The chicken meal is the highest grade for Taurine. There are low levels of both ash and magnesium. We use human grade fat sources and the amino acids provided by chicken and lamb are the basic building blocks of muscle, skin, coat, bone, blood and the immune system. The real benefit is a happy, healthy pet.

It may be defined as a method of moving services to the consumer via a direct marketing system. Emphasis is on the service distribution process.

Behind every business venture there is a story.

Flint River Ranch is a private company owned by Jim Flint. The total story spans the "reality test" of forty years of personal business experience and includes the wisdom, advice, insights, inspiration, dedication and contributions of many people.

The business was first structured to provide the very finest feline and canine foods. Jim called upon some of the best talent in the industry, utilized the finest quality ingredients and carefully formulated the finest products available that sincerely contribute to the health and quality lifestyle of our family companions and can be honestly represented, with pride, to the marketplace. This goal was realized. Product was manufactured and delivered to the Riverside warehouse on Columbus Day, October 12, 1993. A fitting date for our exciting business "voyage" into the future.

The second goal was to utilize the dynamic changes and tangible forces taking place in the marketplace and the way people purchase products. The major shift evolved from people shopping from home to make things easier, to relieve time stress and unwanted elements in their lives. A program was designed to keep things simple and provide services and products that reduce complexity for the consumer marketplace. This was supported with a desire to merit public acceptance with strict attention to service and for continued dedication to the business of Flint River Ranch - providing the highest quality canine and feline foods.

Third, it was the goal to structure Flint River Ranch as a vehicle designed to kindle the spirit of entrepreneurship and individual opportunity for self-employment. The business actually belongs deep in the hearts and minds of a growing team of Independent Associates. Dedicated individuals who embrace the opportunity and accept the responsibility to own and manage their own business venture and build toward their financial independence.

The opportunity for self-employment is not for everyone. It is a serious and studied commitment to create the kind of lives we each want to live. For those willing to participate, it is exciting, exhilarating and dynamic. It is a way for certain people to turn dreams into reality. The keys to success never really change. What does constantly change is the strategies and principles used to gain life's rewards. It is not a feat of intellect, but of will and desire.

Rapid changes in the employment environment are affecting all of us. We have become victims of deregulation, foreign competition, mergers, hostile takeovers, acquisitions, corporate restructuring, cost cutting and staff reduction. There is no longer any job security in the work environment. Job security today is totally within the individual.

A major key to your success with Flint River Ranch is an understanding of the tremendous explosive exponential growth potential available. You must look toward the future, with patience, and not have the "front-end" profit mentality that exists in most small businesses.

"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows that it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle: When the sun comes up, you'd better be running!" -Corporate Growth Report
