Business Model[edit | edit source]

AdvoCare operates using a multi-level marketing (MLM) model. This means that independent distributors sell AdvoCare products directly to consumers and can earn commissions based on their sales and the sales of their recruited team members.

Sponsorships and Partnerships[edit | edit source]

AdvoCare has been involved in various sponsorships, particularly in the sports industry. The company has sponsored NASCAR events and teams, as well as individual athletes in different sports.
