Who is Minimie Noodles?

Minimie is a fast-growing brand that’s already available in five countries in Africa.

Their origins can be traced back to Italy in 1919, but, unfortunately, the brand didn’t gain popularity until the 1960s when a British couple decided to take a chance on this unusual noodle. They started by selling mini portions of their meal to cafeteria employees and then expanded to their colleagues and eventually to the public. Since then, there’s been a steady growth, with the introduction of mini packs, marinara sauce, and spaghetti.

Their bestselling product is definitely the minature portion of spaghetti, which makes up 50% of their sales.

What does it mean to be a distributor?
Distributors are the generalists of Minimie Noodles! If you aren’t interested in a distribution role, don’t worry, you can still be apart of the family! The good news is you can be a minimie specialist and do whatever it is that you do best for the company!

Get to know Minimie Noodles

Minimie noodles are all natural and made from natural ingredients, unlike most foods in the West. The noodles are made of chicken, carrots, and peas, and are made to be gluten-free.

This is great for those of us who can’t eat gluten and are looking for a new product to try, or for those who want to give the gluten-free lifestyle a try, but haven’t gotten a chance to cook with it yet.

Why now is the perfect time to expand into Nigeria and what does it mean if you choose not to become a distributor?
There are three reasons to start making introductions now into Nigeria. The first is that companies in Nigeria have been waiting for the Minimie brand to launch, and the time is now! The customers are already excited about the brand, and the distributors should be as well.

Because of this excitement, a distributor is able to earn 50 percent of the profit of the products sold. If this was your first time ordering Minimie products, you could easily make $1,000 a month.

Minimie has been in business in the U.S. for a year now, so there is a lot of information already available. If a distributor does decide to pass, it doesn’t mean they don’t believe in the products. You will still be able to get the best deal possible by starting with the company that is already selling the product.

How much money can I make as a distributor?
Nigeria is a country in Africa with a population of approximately 186 million people. In 2016, the nation had a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of $490 billion, making it the 16th largest economy in the world. We’ve all heard that one billion (USD) can’t buy you happiness, but it can sure bring you much more than that!

Let’s put that into perspective: 1.7 million Ghanaian citizens earn on average $2,800 each month, and just under a million in Vietnam make a similar amount. A little over a million citizens in Egypt earn roughly the same. In Nigeria, the average income is over $2,000 per month for the average person.

The question is, what are they earning?

Let’s take a look at Minimie Noodles. They’re one of the most popular brands in Nigeria.

Making money as an official distributor
Because they’re already making a profit in Nigeria, Minimie has access to a much lower marketing budget than most other companies. An average month for this company, which started selling food items in 2006, costs a small minimum of 50k naira (0.45K USD) to advertise. This small marketing budget, coupled with the low expenses that come with being an official distributor, make the potential to make a living entirely from selling Minimie noodles very real.

To date, the company has sold over 900,000 of their products, with an average of 400,000 of those sales happening in the fourth quarter (December through March). Minimie is said to be the number 1 selling instant noodles in Nigeria. This is not all due to the excellent quality of their products, though. The appeal of Minimie is the price.
