An alternative business

    ISLAND FALLS — Pam and Frank Hill know a thing or two about natural food products. As independent Watkins Associates with J.R. Watkins, the Hills offer environmentally friendly, natural home products; distinctive gourmet food products; USDA certified organic herbs, spices and extracts; timeless medicinal products and dietary supplements; natural personal care products certified by the Natural Products Association; and the opportunity to become an associate with a minimal fee of $39.95 plus tax.
    According to the company’s website, J.R. Watkins is “America’s pioneer in natural living since 1868.” As America’s original natural apothecary manufacturer, Watkins uses only the finest ingredients in its diverse lines of personal care, home care, remedies and organic flavorings.
    Located at 106 Granite Ridge Road in Island Falls, the Hills have sold environmentally friendly natural home products since October 2009.
    Customer service and outstanding products made available to them from Watkins Naturals are the Hills secret to staying in business.
    “Customer service is what separates our business from our competition,” Pam said. “When you have a product to market and that product can be sold by many different vendors in many different venues that give you an edge, and ultimately make you successful. This is how we serve our customers.”
    “First, we are a customer oriented business for without them we would not have a business,” Frank added. “Second, Watkins offers a full line of natural products which are friendly to the environment.”
    The Hills are also looking to branch out and add associates to their growing company.
    “Anyone can start a business with Watkins and do exactly what we are doing,” Frank said. “They can have another stream of income with a minimal investment of $39.95 that is part-time or fulltime, the choice is for them to make.”
    The Hills are open Monday to Wednesday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or by appointment.
