Those who want to lose weight, gain weight or just eat for better health need look no farther than The Blend Protein & Energy Bar. Wanting to improve her health, owner Key Gibson began using and selling products by Herbalife Nutrition in 2020.
“I had wanted to lose weight and nothing I tried seem to be helping,” Gibson said. “A friend recommended Herbalife Nutrition and I was so impressed with it I became a distributor.”
The products are more than merchandise sold in a shop. Distributors create menus and guidelines to help customers obtain their desired goals.
“I evaluate someone’s needs and create a program especially for them,” Gibson said. “I don’t just sell products, but teach people how to combine them with other foods for optimal nutrition.
Key Gibson shows a sample of several Herbalife Nutrition products she carries in her business.
“Our products are not meant for total replacement, but as enhancement to a well-rounded diet,” she added.
“We specialize in protein shakes, coffees and bars, clean-energy teas, waffles, donuts, cakes, soups, and more providing a healthy and vibrant option for everyone. We also have a hemp bar that helps with pain, face and body washes and lotion for skin care, vitamins and antioxidants.”
Products are sold individually or in sets.
Gibson opened a shop in Jamestown in June, but due to restrictive use of signage was forced to close it recently.
“I tried all type of ways to advertise my business, but due to a lack of visibility, people had trouble finding my location,” she said.
Currently, Gibson is taking orders by text or phone and offers free delivery. She serves individuals and also delivers to businesses, sheriffs’ offices, schools and other groups.
“I can cater events offering such things as healthy teas, shakes, muffins, brownies or cake,” Gibson said. “I have also helped with fundraisers for groups.”
As a courtesy, Gibson checks in regularly with customers to make sure they have what is needed. She makes sure they have instructions on maximizing products to get the most benefit from them.
