Southwestern Advantage began publishing and distributing family-orientated products in 1855. University students, and recent graduates, have been selling these products since 1868, and we are pleased to announce that they are again available in the UK through independent student dealers.
Over the years, thousands of students from UK universities have also participated in this programme, in both the U.S. and the UK. Today, the young people who present these products are independent business people from countries such as Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. Their summer experience in the UK will provide them with meaningful cultural and entrepreneurial experiences as they provide families with the opportunity to choose valuable educational resources for their homes. You may verify their authorised status to distribute our products by clicking HERE.
By connecting with families door-to-door, they are able to provide individualised advice as to which products might help most. All product deliveries are made personally by the student dealers, who also give a short instruction at that time as to how to benefit most from each product. All deliveries are guaranteed by Southwestern Advantage.
Southwestern Advantage is registered in England and Wales, with Company Number 12691315.
