My AVON Story: My First Year as an AVON Rep

On January 11th, 2015 I signed up online to become an AVON Independent Sales Representative. Through my shyness, anxiety, and fear I somehow gained the courage to take a huge leap out of my comfort zone and complete the sign up process. It was easy enough to do and it didn't take long. After signing up, I told all of my family and friends about my new endeavor and was relieved to find support. Not only did I gain the support from my loved ones but also from the AVON Community online. There are online forums through your AVON account, full of tips and veterans willing to show you the ropes. There are also Facebook groups to join that welcome you again with more helpful advice. 

I threw myself into the AVON University Online Training Courses, desiring to master them all and soak up as much information as I possibly could to make a real go of this "AVON thing". My reason to start my AVON business? Honestly, it was to do something for myself. Sure, I have a lot for myself to do around the house with the kids and all, but I needed something for me. I'm sure a lot of Moms out there can relate to that! I also started my business because I wanted to earn a little bit of extra money and take advantage of the discount from being an AVON Rep to get some pretties for myself. I never really thought at first that I could turn my business into something truly profitable. That quickly changed as I learned more about selling AVON and I caught the bug to want to get my name out there and make some real money!

Before signing up, I looked into direct selling companies and of course AVON was high on the list. For starters, its legit. AVON has been around for almost 130 years.. they clearly are doing something right. Also, AVON has the lowest priced start up kit in the direct selling beauty industry. Only $15. The eStore that is provided to me to have customers shop on and get their orders delivered directly to them, is FREE. Always. The AVON Foundation that supports Breast Cancer Awareness and Domestic Violence Awareness, really means a lot to me. AVON is giving back in such a powerful and emotional way. And the Customer Service? I love it. If I have to call in about an issue or question I have, no matter whom I talk with, it always gets corrected and taken care of. They do not just write you off. You are not just a number to AVON --- you matter. Millions of Representatives have flourished, not only in a monetary value but on a personal level. 

That is where I have found myself. Family and friends have noticed --- I am confident. I am proud of AVON and what I am doing. I am proud of myself. I have my own business! It is fun, rewarding, and is a key part in defining who I am and what I am doing in my life. 

Since starting my own AVON business I am more outspoken. You have to be! The most interesting take on this for me is just how easy and naturally it came about. I have struggled my entire life with anxiety and depression. AVON has launched me out of my own shell and i'm becoming a strong and more independent woman. 

My hope is to continue to grow with my business and for those who are struggling with themselves in a way as I was... that they too can find that AVON can help them.  I truly feel this way. I was happy before AVON but with it, I am more.  You can be, too! It takes less than 5 minutes to get started and the excitement that fills you will just spill on to others!! I've met so many amazingly helpful and friendly people along the way. Every day there is something new and exciting waiting to share with the world. Thank you for allowing me to share this with you.

Tips for Gaining New AVON Customers

Good evening, beauties. I know one of the toughest things when starting any business is finding (and expanding) your customer base. Yes, there are millions of AVON Reps out there who are working their businesses and have their customer list and are making some serious bank. How did they get there? Did they complain that there were too many Reps out there? Did they wait around for people to automatically know that they sold AVON and could purchase from them? Doubtful. I don't mean to sound rude but if you want your business to work, YOU have to work!

First, your AVON brochures are your store. Every brochure you leave somewhere plants a seed in what takes time to grow into your beautiful AVON garden. Where have you left brochures? With family members? That's a great start! With friends? Well done! Now that you have done that, ask your family and friends to leave a book at their place of work (if it is permitted. Some places of employment do not allow this. If not, move on to the next idea!)

Places to leave your AVON brochures:

- The doctors office. Next time you have an appointment, or even just stop by if you won't be seen for some time, ask the receptionist if it would be permitted for you to leave an AVON brochure in the waiting room. She/He may even want a brochure for themselves, so make sure you take a few along with you. It is always best to have "too many" brochures on your person than to have run out when someone is really excited about looking at one. 

- The gas pump. I have heard many Reps say they leave brochures at the gas pumps. I honestly don't think that I would have thought to do this had I not heard it from someone else, but apparently it works! So, pump some gas and plant another seed to your AVON garden. 

- Your local bakery shop. Do you have a bakery or cakery in town? You should stop in, buy some yummy sweets and ask the owner if you could leave a brochure there. The answer may be no, but unless you ask it always will be. This stop won't be a wasted chance since you'll be treating yourself to a chocolate chip cookie or donut. 

- Your significant other's place of work. Again, if this is allowed in your SO's place of employment, send some brochures into the office with your sweetie to leave around. My husband works in an office building that he does IT work for and the secretary's just love their AVON! You might be surprised to find out someone may order AVON online, through no Rep, and they would be glad to shop with you so you could get  the credit.

- The laundromat. This one is great! While people wait for their clothes to finish the rinse cycle, they can flip through your AVON brochure. They are sure to find something that peeks their interest and they will have all of your info right there on the back of the book!

- The hair salon. Is there a certain place in your town that you always go to to get your hair/nails done? If so, stop in and see if you can leave some books. Chances are, the owner will say yes, especially if you are a frequent customer at their establishment. It would also be a good idea to ask if you could leave a basket of AVON samples on their counter. Doing this could really increase your customer base!

- Retirement homes. You could even check with the manager/caretaker and see about setting up a monthly event for the residents. Bring in some samples, some on-hand items, plenty of brochures, and set up a table. Again, with permission to do so!

- On the restaurant table with your tip. I've heard a lot of Reps do this one, too! When they pay for their meal at a sit-down restaurant, they will leave a brochure along with the tip for their waiter/waitress. I think it's also a professional idea to leave a business card, too. Which, by the way, is another great tip for a New AVON Rep! I have found Vista Print and AVON's Printing Company: Town & Country to be good companies to order business cards from. 

- At daycare/schools. If your drop your kiddos off at daycare or school, don't forget to leave some AVON brochures. Even though drop off is usually a busy time, Moms/Dads would be happy to grab a book real quick to look at later when things slow down. 

- Neighbors doorknobs. Ah, yes. The old AVON standby! In the Business Tools section when placing your AVON order, make sure to purchase some "Clear Literature Bags". These bags are designed for all the brochures for a Campaign to fit inside and hang on doorknobs with a pre-cut hanger hole. I believe the quantity is a pack of 50 for 80 cents! Another inexpensive yet effective tool for your AVON business.

- Apartment complex. (Checking with the manager/superintendent first, of course!) An apartment building is an ideal place to leave AVON brochures. There are tons of occupants, varying in age, and interests. Since AVON offers way more than "just makeup" the products could benefit anyone. You'll find that people are surprised when they look through the brochures. You are sure to hear "Wow, AVON has this!?" a time or two. 

- Dressing rooms. Why not? The point of this post is to show you that you can leave your AVON brochure aka your AVON store just about anywhere. The possibilities are endless and once you get past any nerves and leave that first brochure somewhere, you'll just want to go to another place to plant another seed to your beautiful AVON garden!!

Bonus Tip: When filling out the labels or backs of your AVON brochures, make sure you include the link to your AVON eStore so that your customers know they can shop online AND have their order shipped to their home address! People love the convenience of shopping from home. Be sure to include that there are products/sales that can only be bought when shopping online (for that extra incentive to check out your eStore!)
