They sell cool purses, sandals, jewelry, clothing, barbeque stuff, a glass teapot with infuser, even cake decorating tool sets, and Silicone cupcake pans. Their make up and moisturizers have come a long way since the 70's, when my Mom sold Avon! Everybody that tries the sample of Anew wrinkle corrector, loves it, and orders some.
Mother's Day is May 9th, and Father's Day is June 20th, so this is great timing.
I signed up for a professional website to sell online. It's called an eRepresentative. If I get 1 or more orders from my website, the $7.50 per month fee is waived. That should be easy! If I don't want to leave the house (or garden), I can still build a business! I'm pretty excited.
I met with a really nice lady last night, that has been selling Avon, and recruiting reps. for 33 years. She gave me everything I need to get started, nice brochures, and some samples.
Avon has sure changed with the times. This isn't your grandma's Avon anymore! You know, walking the neighborhood, knocking on doors. I plan to promote the website, and hand out/mail out brochures to people I know. Beauty and Nail Salons are great to set out a few brochures!
The way I look at it, everybody already knows the Avon name, and they have a money back guarantee on their products, so it speaks for itself. They have been around for 120 years. They started out selling nothing but perfume.
The special sales are fantastic! Even though I don't have alot of money laying around, I'm ordering a Glazewear Party Pack of 16 different colors of lip gloss, for $16. The regular price would be $96 for 16. At $1 each, I can afford to give them out, to advertise. With each Glazewear Lip Gloss ordered you receive 1 mail-in entry form to win:
GRAND PRIZE: 2010 RED MALIBU, valued at $29,000!
2nd Prize: 5 winners get $1000.00
3rd Prize: 250 winners will get a $150 value Beauty Bundle, which is a selection of top selling full size beauty products.
The contest ends June 16, 2010.
