The Face And Fat Index Tells The True Story Of The Employment Outlook Replacing Lipstick Index As An Indicator Of Economic Health Says Research By Liberty Health Network.

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) November 21, 2011

Could the Face and Fat index replace the lipstick index as the actual indicator of the current economic and employment outlook in the US? In the 2000's Leonard Lauder came to the conclusion that lipstick sales could be used as an economic indicator, showing that purchases of cosmetics (especially lipstick) demonstrate a tendency to be inversely proportional to economic health. Lauder believed that women substitute more expensive purchases like clothing and hard goods for lipstick during economic downturns. The lipstick theory was debunked when lipstick sales failed to generate a statistically significant relationship to the ups and downs of the economy after the 2000's.

But Russell Bly, Chief Operating Officer with Liberty Health Network, LLC (LHN) believes his Face and Fat index says a lot about the employment outlook. He explains We have the data. Although we have close to 100 different products and services in inventory, we are seeing an explosion in the sales of our Beau Visage Facelift Without Surgery At Home Facial System and our Weight Loss Plus and Slim EZ products. The increased sales are especially noticeable in our direct sales channels like Amazon.Com and Google Checkout.

From a purely statistical point of view, we can track the sales increases in lock-step with the unemployment rate over the last 24 months. In speaking with our customers we are finding many purchasers fear the loss of their job to someone younger or healthier, supporting our analytics. Surprisingly to us, both Men and Women are purchasing our Facelift Mask with a number one priority of looking better at work. And since the attempts to overhaul health care, we've seen brisk sales in weight loss supplements. Customers are telling us that they are not only concerned about their appearance, but concerned about employers increasingly looking negatively at overweight employees due to increased health risks and health insurance liabilities. It's great when people just want to feel better about themselves. But with these two products, our internal research indicates many purchases are being made out of concern. Fear is a powerful motivator. Says Bly.

While LHN offers two powerful products for looking better and losing weight, ultimately the consumer will decide why to purchase. For now, it seems purchases correlate in large part to the jobs outlook. For many consumers, it really is the economy.
