1.     Share your Goals – make a Dream College of pictures cut out of magazines and have it reduced to postcard size copies, Laminate and put everywhere you will see it to keep your motivation up, also give to your down line and customers so they can see what goals you are working for. Another poster to make is a poster to keep track or your sales and meeting your goal  - looks like a have different lines at different dollar amounts to chart your progress on reaching your goal whether it be PC or HS. Take this around and show your customers so they can see how your progress is coming.
2.   Letter Your Car – Put Avon on your car and your Phone number, and Buy or Sell. You can use vinyl letter or magnetic signs or even just use Glass Chock that you can write on your car windows. (the kind used in car dealerships – can be purchased at Wal-Mart) 
3.   Vanity Plate – Contact your state DMV to get a vanity license plate with Avon in the wording some how.
4.   Light Up Signs – Get a light up sign with Avon for the roof of your car.  The following company sells this item HTH Inc – 1.800.321-1850.
5.   Car Plaque – get a car plaque like the one that is used by the car dealerships, Avon and your phone number. www.farrbetterideas.com or 603-644-2331
6.   Mail Box – Use your Mail box as a Avon Advertisement by putting the company logo on the mail box
7.   Signs On Your House – Put signs on the front of your house so people know you sell Avon.
8.   Brochure Box – Hang a brochure box on the front of your house and keep current brochures in it at all times. Hand a Brochure box from your car window when you go into the stores or where ever you go. These are available at www.winnerinyou.com

10.Adopt A Highway – In most states it is free to adopt a 1-mile stretch of highway. That gets your mane and business on a sign for all driving by to see.
11.  Mini Posters- Make up mini posters and put around everywhere (size is ¼ sheet). Make them up for both getting customers and recruiting.  Never let a brochure leave your home with out a mini poster attached. Carry a poster hanging kit in your car at all times with thumbtacks – tape and scissors.
12.Post It Notes –There is a computer program available to make up post it notes so you can put them everywhere and on everything – ATM Machines – Bulletin Boards – Car Door Handles –ect.
13.Bumper Stickers – Again with a simple computer program and a package of computer bumper stickers make them up and put them on your cars with Avon and your name and phone number. You will need to spray with a spray sealer so the ink does not run when it gets wet.
14.Sponsor A Local Sport Team – Any children’s baseball, softball, soccer, football. Have the tem with your name on it (Lisa’s was a girls softball team called Lisa’s Avon Girls) At mid season she passed out cupcakes at a game At the end of the season she threw a Pizza Party and gave a team picture to each girl with an Avon Logo and her name and phone number on the picture.
15.Coloring Contest – Have a picture of an Avon Children’s product drawn up in black and white to color in- run off copies and take to the local elementary school. Have the students color in and give Avon gift certificates 1st – 2nd-3rd place in sever different age groups.

17.10% Fund Raising Cards – These are fundraisers that don’t have to hurt. Have business cards printed up with the following saying. Present or mention this card with your next order and 10% of the profits will be donated to (the given Charity) in your name. Make the date valid for 1 year. Give these to a local organization to pass out to everyone and they will be passing your name around to hundreds of new people.
18.Full Commission Fund Raiser – Set up a fundraiser using an example Avon Gund Bear. Sell a bear paper cutout to people for $1.00 and tell them that it takes 17 $1.00 bears to Purchase one Bear – then donate those Bears to the Police or Fire Departments to give to children in need.  Have the police and fire department and local business also selling the cutouts.

This is just a few more tips that I could not figure out what category they fell into, so I am adding onto the end of the list.

Business Cards – Purchase 500 for $29 and get 500 Free
Beaver Prints – 1-800-742-6070

Buy a Fishing License Holder that hangs around the neck and put in your business cards – when people ask you what you have that on for give them a card or show them. It looks like you are wearing press credentials.

Buy Sidewalk Chalk and when you get out of your car in a parking lot write To Buy or Sell Avon and your Phone number.

When giving a member of your down line a prize for doing something great only give them business tools never a non-related gift. Give them something like a moneybag or tote bag. Also in your sign up kit you should give them an Avon Button to get them started right away promoting their business. (See tip 20 for the Website info).

Well this is all I learned at the Lisa Wilber Seminar – I hope this information will be as helpful to you as it is going to be to me.
Good Luck and Happy Selling!

Tips on How to Sell Online!

 This article highlights a few of my best Avon selling tips for Avon Representatives to sell more Avon online. The problem with online advertising and other forms of advertising is it’s hard to measure where the sale came from unless you are using some sort of promotion code or coupon to be able to track it. When I first started promoting my Avon website in 2008, I was only getting one or maybe a few online orders a month. Now I get about 30 online orders a month and I believe it will continue to grow but it has taken A LOT of hard work and time. For the 2012-2013 sales cycle, I reached President’s Club based on online Avon sales only. It seems the blog posts and hours spent on social media marketing bring in more sales than any paid advertising, which is good and bad because it saves money but takes up more of my time.

Avon Selling Tips to Increase Online Sales

Avon Selling Tips
The biggest jump in my online Avon sales was in 2012 and what I did differently was posted blog posts a few times a month and really started utilizing social media to promote my Avon website. Here are my best online Avon selling tips and what has seemed to work well for me:
1) Put a label on the front of your Avon catalog with your name, phone number, website address, and a free shipping offer. The Avon free shipping coupon code: FS30REP has worked for a long time for free shipping over $30 so I always use that one. I also only put the 2 week time frame for my customers to order so they feel a sense of urgency and will want to order out of the next campaign too.
2) Every time a new Avon campaign starts, I create a new photo album on my Avon Facebook page. I add photos of the Avon catalog, new products, and the sales I like best for the campaign. The posts when I create an album for a new Avon campaign definitely get the most engaged viewers. It also makes it easy for me to come up with what to post during those two weeks. I just share one of the photos from that album and comment on it. I always include my website url when I create social media posts so viewers can go directly there to buy Avon online if they choose.
3) I try to post at least once a day to each social media site marketing my Avon business: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Google Plus. Lately I have noticed my Pinterest boards are starting to rank well on Google. I can’t say I’ve seen any of my posts from any of the other social media sites lately in Google’s top 10 but the Pinterest boards are starting to show up on the front page for the keywords I’m targeting. According to www.mediabistro.com, 97% of Pinterest’s Facebook fans are women and Pinterest drives more referral traffic than Google Plus, LinkedIn, and YouTube combined. See an example of my Pinterest page here: http://pinterest.com/avonrep2

4) One last piece of advice for selling Avon online: when you start getting online Avon orders, be sure to thank your new customers! I have started sending my online customers a new Avon catalog if they place an order with me. If one of my e-customers places an online order in January, they will get the two campaign catalogs for February. There are two great companies owned by Avon Representatives that will mail your catalogs for you at a fair price: Campaign Mailer or Consultant Depot.
