Direct Selling Women:
About the DSWA
(Direct Selling Women's Alliance)


Never, in the 100-year history of the direct selling industry has there been an Alliance that is dedicated solely to the needs of the independent direct seller. At last, it's here! Direct selling women from around the world now have a place to call their own... an Alliance designed with their success in mind.

The information DSWA provides members is offered in a spirit of sisterhood, aimed at uniting direct selling women toward a common vision of success for themselves, their teams, their companies and the industry.

Why Women?

Surveys conducted by the Direct Selling Association (DSA) revealed that approximately 87% of direct sellers are women, many of whom are mom's who want more flexible work schedules. Many of these women are now turning to the Internet as a convenient and reliable source of information and support while growing their businesses.

The DSWA addresses the needs of this powerful segment of the direct selling profession in an effort to strengthen the individual and therefore the industry. Through the DSWA website many issues are addresses that direct selling women face every day. Challenges such as juggling multiple roles, balancing career and family and developing the unique skills that will enhance their success are just a small part of the vision the DSWA holds.

While the DSWA efforts are focused on supporting women in the profession, the information offered is equally applicable to male direct sellers. The DSWA membership is open to all direct sellers regardless of gender, company affiliation, race or religion.

A Note To The Men

With 79.9% of the direct selling profession comprised of women, chances are you work with women every day as you build your organization. Nearly 20% of DSWA memberships are now comprised of men, you will be joining an elite group of forward thinking leaders who will be setting the pace for the profession's growth in the next decade.

Through your membership with DSWA, men can gain an understanding not only of the unique challenges that direct selling women face, but also the many strengths they can bring to your business.

Industry Facts:

According to the Direct Selling Association, there are nearly 14 million direct sellers in the United States and over 55 million worldwide doing an estimated 97 billion dollars in sales.  79.9% of all direct sellers are women.

The DSWA is dedicated solely to the success of all direct sellers who have helped shape this unique and empowering profession.
