If you are trying to build an online Avon business, here is an excellent way to do it!
Emily Seagren is an Avon representative with an enormous business (online and in her Avon Store)
President's Council, Advanced Unit Leader
Question from Karen Q.: Is it worth it to give up the award sales on
the Avon catalogs to use one of the brochure mailing services? Here is
my answer...
I'll give up the award sales on the catalogs any day
for the convenience and return on investment of the brochure mailing
service (whether you prefer Campaign Mailer or Consultant Depot). I've
said it in the videos and I'll say it again, I swear by mailing out the
brochures. In 2012, the average # of monthly visitors to my Avon
website was 4,163 and my avg. monthly online sales were $785. In 2013,
the average # of monthly visitors to my Avon website was 4,457 and my
avg. monthly online sales were $1,151. That's a $366 monthly increase in
online sales with only 294 more visitors per month in 2013. What did I
do differently? Mailed out brochures to eCustomers who purchased in the
prior month.
I'm sure you will agree for a number of reasons that building a huge online business is an optimal way of managing your Avon career.
(Notwithstanding the horrid winter, the increase usage of the internet, social media, convenience for both the customers and us!)
Let me know your thoughts!

Top Ten Reasons I love Working from Home! #1 I'm MY Own Boss
Through the years I've had good bosses and some not so good. Actually horrid bosses to the point, though I was grateful to have a job, I dreaded getting up and going to work.
I hated the often long commute during inclement weather (and in Michigan we have dreadful winters).
There hasn't been one day since I've worked my Avon business full time, that I haven't enjoyed it!

Work from Home Avon
Excellent article by Melody Schafer, national recruiter for Avon
If you have been looking for a work at home business opportunity, you may want to look for an opportunity where you can work online, with little start-up cost, no inventory, free online training,
free web store for your customers, and whatever else may be on your
list of important credentials to meet your needs in finding that perfect
fit for you and your family.
The economy has been in the dumps for a few years now, good paying jobs are difficult or impossible to find and working for someone else, definitely is not the answer in reaching our dreams, especially without jeopardizing the time we want to have, so we can spend more time with our families.
Being one's own boss has more to do with freedom than it has to do with money. Being your own boss allows you to spend more time with your family, allows you to go places and do things you normally couldn't if you were checking in and out of a 9-5 job.
Set your own schedule so you can work as little or as much as you want, and WHEN you want. You are your own boss, so how much you make will be up to you. Do you want a raise? Give yourself a raise by doing the things that need to be done to grow your business?
Think you are too busy to have your own business? Think again. Many work at home businesses can be worked COMPLETELY online, so all you have to do is get your customers to your website that may be provided to you, or one that you create yourself. Many businesses, such as direct sales companies or affiliate programs are fairly simple to do online. All you have to do is get customers to your web store and the company handles the payments, orders and shipping. All you have to do is collect your paycheck or direct deposit to your bank account.
There are other options, such as owning your own web store on e-bay,
Amazon, Etsy, Artfire and so many other well known sites where you can
post items that you either make or are re-selling. With this type of
business you either can carry the inventory in your own home and ship to
customers OR use dropshipping, if it is available, for the product you
sell.
I will be writing future articles breaking down the pros and cons of using dropshippers versus carrying inventory and shipping items yourself, versus finding a company, such as a direct sales organization to work with, and other choices you may have.
Remember, being your own boss, is about freedom. With freedom comes great responsibility. You must use your time wisely and to also remember working from home is not a "get rich scheme". This will take time and lots of patience. You will have failures along with success in your venture. If you want to succeed, the one thing you should remember is: "NEVER GIVE UP".

Selling Avon Online-Internet Marketing
The internet is here to stay. Millions of people shop online daily to purchase their products.
Why not get a piece of that business?
One way to market your Avon business is via a blog. Here is an excellent article by a guru Leslie Truex, the work at home expert:
Word-of-mouth,
buzz, referral, viral marketing, whatever you call it, there’s no doubt
that people are more likely to take a look at something suggested by a
friend. The challenge is to create content that people
want to share. There is a bit of stardust involved when it comes to
having something that catches fire versus falling flat, but there are
strategies you can use to improve your odds of creating viral content.

Go Viral! Tips to Creating Content People Share
Word-of-mouth,
buzz, referral, viral marketing, whatever you call it, there’s no doubt
that people are more likely to take a look at something suggested by a
friend. The challenge is to create content that people
want to share. There is a bit of stardust involved when it comes to
having something that catches fire versus falling flat, but there are
strategies you can use to improve your odds of creating viral content.
Give it away: People like free stuff and they’ll share cool free stuff with others.
Tap into emotions: The two types
of content I see shared most on my social media feeds are funny and
heart-touching material. But those aren’t the only emotions you can
evoke. Others include a sense of justice, inspiration, superiority and
anger. Just be cognizant of the emotion you want people to feel. In
2008, Motrin ran a viral campaign designed to empathize with moms, but
ended up angering them. Yes, the video was shared, but not in a positive
way.
Enhance lives: I enjoy looking at
funny and inspirational content, but I’m more likely to share items
that help people, such as tax tips, a billion uses for baking soda or
how to power a laptop using a potato.
Grab attention: Graphics and
video tend to be shared more than text, but that’s not to say text (i.e.
articles and Tweets) don’t get shared. The key to getting shared is in
getting and keeping attention, whether that’s through a picture, video
or headline.
Make It Easy to Share: There is a
trend towards forcing people to “Like” content before they can see it. I
can see the reasoning behind this, but restricting access to shared
content is going to annoy people. How can I “Like” something I’ve never
seen? If I “Like” it, but end up not liking it, I have to go through the
hassle of unlikely. Many people, myself included, don’t bother.
Remember, the goal of viral marketing is to get people talking about you in a way that expands your reach.
Make your content easy to share by including share options (i.e. Tweet,
Like, Pin), and the ability to embed or download the content, without
having to “Like,” register, or jump through hoops to see it.
Don’t advertise: This is another
challenge of viral marketing. You want people not just to share, but to
connect your name to the content as a way of promoting your business.
How many commercials have you seen and enjoyed, but can’t recall the
company’s advertising? At the same time, people don’t want to be sold
to. The best way to engage an audience is to tell a story and use the
strategies above, without pitching your business. A great example of
this is Dove’s Beauty Sketches,
in which Dove, as it has done in years past, sought to help women of
all-sizes and shapes feel beautiful, without promoting a single product.

How to sell Avon skin care, fragrance and cosmetics from an expert!
Here is a fantastic interview with Rose Circle Avon seller and Make up Maven Chris Sheely:
Thank you for taking the time for this interview!
We've
'known” each other a long time! Well over a decade! You awere voted a
Make Up Mavern, have always been a consistent high seller with Avon, and
have always been generous in sharing your experience and knowledge!
Will you tell us about your accomplishments with Avon?
I
made PC six months after starting with Avon, just about 32 years ago! I
made HS the next year and RC the following year. About 15 years ago I
was a part of the first Representative Advisory Panel and
coincidentally, was a part of the last one about five years ago. I was
also selected to be a Certified Beauty Advisor Trainer about ten years
ago and for five years I travelled primarily on the East Coast, training
representatives in beauty and color, among other things. Last year I
became a Makeup Maven for our division. I really enjoy sharing my love
of makeup (and skin care) with others!
I remember a great deal of what you taught us in your Yahoo group on skincare and Avon color!
Which brings me to the point!
I
recall once you told me that you sell primarily skincare, cosmetics and
fragrances because those are the products with the highest commissions!
How do you promote those products each campaign?
I
always check out the brochure ahead of time to see what’s on sale. I
buy samples and often give out three to each customer…one in each
category. If there’s a big sale on a particular item, I’ll often sample
it to everyone.
Do you give skin care consultations? What tools do you use to give skincare consultations?
The
most important thing about consultations is to listen to what the
customer has to say. In skin care, my first question is always “What’s
your main area of concern?”. Then I go from there, helping her choose
the item(s) that will best meet her needs. I don’t have any tools, per
se, other than my knowledge of the products and what does what best!
Do you give color consultations? What tools do you use to give color consultations?
I
do a silent color consultation on every person I meet. I always look
at her, determine which colors might look good on her and then mention
that I sell Avon. With my regular customers, my knowledge of warm/cool
really helps me help HER choose the right colors. My customers know
that I won’t steer them wrong, and rarely have a return because a color
isn’t right.
How do you sell fragrances?
I’m
very allergic to most fragrance, so I mostly sell it by sampling. If a
customer really wants to try a scent for a week or so, I gladly order
it and let her try it for two weeks and then either get the money or the
product back. There are a lot of tricks that you can use (cotton balls
in a baggie, spraying your money etc) but I stick mostly to samples.
Do you prospect for customers using your vast knowledge of skin care, color and fragrances?
I
do, but it’s a fine line to walk. Sharing without seeming pushy can be
difficult. When I meet someone, I always tell them I’m a makeup maven
and that my manager calls me her skin care guru! If they need help,
they know where to find me. My business cards mention that I’m a skin
care and color expert.
Do you have a favorite product that you promote?
Genics.
It’s good for all ages and really gets the job done. I love how it
feels and it really helps all ages “fix” what’s wrong!!
What advice would you give a new representative?
Educate
yourself! Read and learn. Talk to people who are successful and ask
them for advice. You can never know too much about your products!!
What
advice would you give an experienced representative to build their
customer base and increase sales using skincare, color and fragrances?
Make
your goal this: sell skin care to every customer. Make sure you talk
with every single customer about skin care and then offer samples to
meet the needs they express to you. Color is a bit more difficult
because you need to understand the difference between warm and cool in
order to recommend the right shades. Even in this day of anything goes,
at the end of the day, every woman wants to look her best, and helping
her choose her “everyday look” is very important. For fragrance, make
sure you know the basics of each scent. For example, if you have a
customer who HATES musk, make sure you know where to find the
ingredients and know which scents have the least amount of musk. Again,
education is the key!!!
