Business Model Change · March 3, 2026 · 🟡 Medium Impact

Idaho Falls-based 7K Metals announced on March 3, 2026 that it is transitioning from a network marketing model to a direct retail and affiliate-driven model. CEO Blake Davis cited "changing marketplace dynamics" and the "rising influencer economy" as drivers. Network marketing members who built multi-level teams will lose their downline income streams under the new structure. 7K Metals joins Beachbody and Rodan+Fields in making this MLM-to-affiliate pivot.
