RUSK

Anti-Diversion Efforts Rating: GOOD / FAIR / POOR √

Rusk is one of the industry's top 10 diverted products and their diverted slaes continue to grow every quarter. Rusk's management has done a poor job in the fight against the diversion of their products.

According to AC Neilson 2006 1st Quarter statistics, Rusk has increased its volume of diverted product sales by 5% over the previous quarter.

What is equally alarming is that Rusk does not take a public stand anywhere against diversion of its products. Rusk is not a member of Beauty Industry Fund (BIF) as are many of the other top 10 diverted salon product manufacturers. Unlike most manufacturers, Rusk does not make any mention of diversion on its official website.
