humble roots and the challenges that drove us to be an industry leader in Quality,
Technology and Innovation.
Yoels mechanical inclination was fueled by his passion for automotive engineering.
From a young age he worked in various capacities related to race cars and high-end
restoration.
In 1989, Yoel took a second job as a delivery driver for a retail remanufacturer
(selling direct to end users). His curiosity led him to ask for an opportunity to fix a
printer that was not working properly. He took the printer home over the weekend
and brought it back in working condition. This led to an opportunity in production,
where he began to learn the cartridge business.
In 1991, a co-worker left to start his own company and recruited Yoel to join him as
the production manager. As with many start-up companies, multiple hats were worn
by Yoel and he oversaw Research & Development, Quality Control, Production and
was involved in certain aspects of Sales. The company did relatively well and
became a viable remanufacturer during the early years of the industry.
Although still good friends to this day, Yoel and the owner of the company shared a
different vision which would ultimately lead to an amicable split in 1994
with Yoel forming his own company, MSE. MSE was originally formed as a direct-toend-user reseller and service provider. On a much smaller scale, MSE did what many
of our customers do today: sold aftermarket cartridges and serviced laser printers.
With a small loan from his brother, Avi, MSE began operating from Yoels apartment
as a one-man shop.
As a first time business owner, Yoel was faced with many challenges, but none more
serious than the poor and inconsistent quality of aftermarket cartridges available at
the time. Yoel found himself spending more time addressing customer complaints
than focusing on capturing new customers. He would sell one or two cartridges and
at times would have to spend an hour on a service call cleaning a machine due to a
leaking cartridge. For a period of two years, Yoel faced severe struggles and lost
more customers than he was able to gain. He found himself working a night job to
make ends meet.
After two difficult years Yoel met with Avi, who remained involved with MSE as an
outside consultant while still holding a position as Vice President of Sales and
Marketing for a high-end jewelry distributor. The two discussed the challenges of the
business and Yoel arrived at two options:
1)
MSE would be dissolved; Yoel would work as many jobs as needed to support
his family and slowly pay Avi back the money he loaned.
2)
Yoel would require additional money to set up a remanufacturing facility in
order to control the level of quality and consistency delivered to his customers.
One of the concerns about entering into manufacturing was that MSE would be
undercapitalized while being within a five mile radius of the largest manufacturers
in the space, producing nearly 500,000 units a month.
Avi pointedly asked Yoel how a small start up could compete in the midst of all of
these well-funded and established behemoths.
He asked, Is there room for another manufacturer?
Yoel replied, There is room for one good one.
Yoels vision was that MSE would be able to compete because it would not focus on
the share of the aftermarket already captured, but on the much larger OEM share.
MSE would also approach the manufacturing aspect from an engineering standpoint,
which would be the catalyst to producing products that could truly compete with the
OEM. This vision is what we call today Intelligent Re-Engineering.
Manufacturing began in 1997 with a goal to reach 5,000 units a month as the directto-end-user model continued. MSEs first significant milestone was reached
in 1997 as this was the first year in which the company broke even.
After what can be deemed as MSEs first successful year, Avi Wazana joined MSE as
partner and CEO in January of 1998. Avis main focus was to drive MSEs sales
efforts while freeing Yoel to focus on continued innovation and quality
improvements. Three interlinked and critical decisions were agreed upon and
quickly made:
1)
As a manufacturer, we should honor the supply chain and sell through a
reseller channel as opposed to selling direct to the end-user. A small network of
resellers was developed and by the end of 1998 all end-user business was
transitioned to the reseller network.
2)
Avi believed that proper branding would be essential in creating loyalty at the
end-user level and would be instrumental to the success of the reseller. The MSE
Brand was created to drive a higher level of perceived quality as opposed to the
unattractive packaging options most commonly used. More importantly, the MSE
Brand was designed to drive awareness of ACTUAL quality as a true alternative to
the OEM.
3)
In order to truly support the reseller channel in competing with the OEM, a
comprehensive dealer support program was created that included sales training,
customized materials and other marketing programs. In essence, the foundation for
our consultative sales approach was formed.
We want to thank our army of champions, the independent dealer for allowing us a
degree of success in this still vibrant industry. We will continue to reward your
loyalty with ongoing investments into our technological capabilities so that you can
offer your customers the markets best alternative to the OEM.

Honesty
Who hasnt heard of NATASHA, the direct selling company, whose numerous dealers
and agents go office to office or door to do door to sell shoes, bags, apparel, and
accessories? And who hasnt been convinced to look at its colorful catalogues and
finally succumbed to the temptation of buying one or two items, because they are
oh, so accessible and can be had on installment?
The direct selling industry is highly competitive and dominated by multinationals
(Think Avon, Amway, Tupperware). Natasha stands out in that it is home-grown and
owned, 100 percent, utilizing local materials and local craftsmanship.
Over the years since it began in 1993, Natasha has survived the tight competition,
the Asian financial crisis and two historical upheavals and has grown steadily to
reach people all over the country through a network of 42 distribution centers and
150,000 direct dealers all over the country from Aparri to Tawi-tawi.
Credit its sustainability and growth to the survival instincts and enterprising ability
of is owner and CEO, Victoria Vicky Bello-Jardiolin.
Vicky obtained her bachelors and masters degrees in business administration from
the University of the Philippines, Diliman. In the 1980s, she taught marketing in the
same school, where she also researched on entrepreneurship, small and medium
industries, and cooperatives. She also worked as consultant at Sycip, Gorres &
Velayo.
Vickys children pitched in to develop the networking system. Vicky would herself
personally sell shoes to her friends and acquaintances. A son worked on developing
the dealer network. A daughter took charge of selecting the merchandise, while a
son took pictures of the products . The first Natasha catalogues were done by
members of the family.
Soon, Natasha was selling, through its network of dealers, not just shoes but also Tshirts, pants, wallets and bags, and, lately, cosmetics and fragrances.
Natashas product marketing follows the classic direct selling scheme basically the
same being used by Tupperware, Amway, and Avon.
Natasha dealers go from person to person in commercial and residential areas with
a catalogue of shoes, bags, clothes, accessories, and personal care products. The
customer chooses from the catalogue and then pays on installment, locally known
as cry-cry.
The dealer network has expanded rapidly as dealer recruits new dealers. But one
does not have to wait to be recruited but rather can apply at any of the Natasha
branches all over the country.(Click here for a partial directory of branches.)
The direct-selling strategy has become very convenient for those who have no time
to shop or are not eligible for usual credit facilities, or are too far away from
shopping malls, as in Batanes and Basilan.
Small wonder, Natashas first slogan was Let shopping come to you. When some
OFWs became Natasha dealers in the foreign countries where they are deployed,
the slogan becameKung saan may Pinoy, may Natasha.
Best of all for countrys economic well-being, the Natasha way of doing business
unlocked income-earning opportunities for low-salary employees and underemployed people.
In the direct selling system, needless to say, dealers earn not only from what they
sell but also from what their recruited dealers make.
Everyone dreams of becoming rich. The company promises to help make such
dreams come true. But this transformation from dream to reality is rooted
in sipag at tiyaga and will not come easily and certainly not to everyone who
engages in direct selling Natasha -- or Avon, Amway, Tupperware, for that matter. If
one is very patient and hardworking and very, very focused, there is little reason
not to make in network selling.
Dreams have come true for some Natasha dealers, as the video testimonials of
Natasha Top Dealers indicate: higher education for themselves and their children,
houses, lots, vehicles, their own dealership business, a sense of fulfillment, and
other Pinoy aspirations.
With over 89 full-blown branches and Branch Sattelite Offices strategically positioned in key
cities all over the country, the company continues to be steadfast in its pursuit to bring the
Boardwalk
brand
to
new
heights.
The company carries an extensive collection of affordable and trendsetting fashion pieces
that are truly stylish and world-class. From casual to corporate clothes, underwear, jeans,
shoes, bags, wallets, and fashionable timepieces for children, teens and adults, Boardwalk
