Tips to Sell Avon Living…The Get Organized Issue

 

• Demo your favorite products–buy the products that you plan to use yourself and share them with customers. Demos sell. Don’t spend all of your profits on demos, but if you are truly going to use something yourself, then buy it and share it.
• Use images to share your favorite products with customers. Take pictures of the demos you do purchase and also use the Avon Living Magalog and online images provided by Avon to share products with your customers and potential customers both in person and online. Take advantage of social media and use the hashtag #AvonLiving along with other relevant hashtags (depending on the product). Share to as many social media outlets as possible.
• Share the tips that are included in your representative what’s new demo book and in the Avon Living Magalog for customers.
• Share your own uses for the products.
• For The Get Organized Issue promote how these products can help with New Year organization and spring cleaning.

Selling Avon Campaigns 3 and 4 2017

Avon Campaigns 3 and 4 2017 are going to be your campaigns to capitalize on Valentine’s Day sales. Think approaching customers for their Valentine’s Day needs. Campaign 3 has a whole lot of gift ideas (think Jewelry) as well as the Little Red Dress boutique that is great for Valentine’s Day date night as the boutique includes a full look and the new Little Red Dress fragrance for her. Remind customers we have things for the men on their list as well. Representatives should also check out the Avon Campaign Central information and videos on youravon.com. Watch my video and then check out the highlights below with my hot item outline for each campaign.

Campaign 3 Hot Items

• Sell the full look from the Little Red Dress boutique (the Little Red Dress dress, The Perfect Match Necklace and Earring Set, and the Peekaboo Lace-Up Sandal)
• Add on the Little Red Dress for her fragrance set (remind customers the shower gel and lotion are free gifts and of the importance of layering fragrance for best results)
• Jewelry for Valentine’s Day including Sterling Silver pieces
• Skin So Soft bath oil SALE (the perfect add on for customers looking to have soft skin especially in the winter months) the bonus size is on sale 2 for $32 when it is regularly priced at $27 each and the regular size is on sale 2 for $22 when it is regularly priced at $20 each. This is a great value and customers will surely love the feel of their skin afterwards. This sale does continue into Campaign 4 as well.
• Introduce customers to the new Avon Living magalog too!

Campaign 4 Hot Items

• Nutraeffects skin care line–this line replaces Avon Elements for your current Avon Elements customers…this line is also dye free and paraben free as well as suitable for sensitive skin and hypoallergenic. It is the closest thing we have to a natural line of skin care as the main ingredient is Chia seed. Four different lines to choose from based on skin type. A great way to get new Skin Care customers
• Skin So Soft body lotion SALE for the BONUS size lotions which will be $10.49 each when they are regularly priced at $14 each. These lotions provide 24+ hours of moisture and will surely help keep your customer’s skin soft with the winter months.

Selling Avon Campaigns 1 & 2 2017 Representative Tips

This video was made by Amanda Davis, Avon Ind. Sales Representative New Avon, LLC

I use these tactics to plan my own campaigns. Representatives should look at the Campaign Central videos Avon provides as well. At the end of the video I mention the FAB Buys (this actually ended as of Campaign 26 2016). I give a couple ways to figure out the best buys yourself at the end of the video.

Campaign 1 2017 Selling Tips:

Campaign 1 2017 is over for most of us, but maybe you still have some brochures sitting around or people that you need to follow up with that their last Avon Brochure was Campaign 1 2017.

• Take Advantage of last minute sales for the holidays!
• Sell Breast Cancer Crusade awareness products like the $6 charm bracelet featured in the Campaign 1 What’s New (great add-on sale).
• Sell matching products together like the Mailyn Oversized Tote, Classics Wallet, and Key Fob.
• Take note of information like the Skin Care Bulletin and share that information with potential skin care customers and can also try to add on to existing skin care customer orders. What’s New pages 6-7
•  Moisture Therapy big winter product! Campaign 1 has a five piece set for $16.99
• What’s News are great for sample stock ups if you need to get more samples
• Take note of discontinued products and suggested replacements. I mention specifics in my video. This list can be found in the What’s New pages 12-13.

Campaign 2 2017 Selling Tips:

Are you Holiday Ready?

I originally made this video in October 2015. Here are some pointers for capitalizing on holidays with your direct selling business.

1. Share the products your company has to offer for the holidays! Most companies have something for all of the major holidays not just the fall/early winter holidays I mentioned in the video.
2. Think gifts! Who do you know that will need to purchase gifts for these holidays?
3. Think standing out! How can you make yourself stand out as a consultant? What can you offer your customers? Custom gift baskets? Wrapping? Special delivery?
4. Share personal stories! What are you getting your own family and loved ones for the holiday? What are you using personally?
5. Videos and pictures do a great way of sharing these products with potential buyers!
6. What do you have on hand? Focus on selling these products first because you need to make that money back.
7. Take advantage of craft fairs and other shows of that type. High seasons for these fairs is the Fall October-December and the Spring around Easter March-May. Yard sales are great for summer months June-September just remember that people expect cost to be lower at yard sales.

What now?

How do you spend your weekends? Do you work your business?

How do you spend your weekends? Are you in direct sales? Then, your weekends can be a prime time to work your business. I know for me I spend most weekends working my business, in fact it is the most time that I have to work the business. I usually do vendor shows on the weekends during peak season and then I also use that time to try to grow my online presence. During the week, I do not always have time to write up a blog post or schedule social media posts, so on the weekend is my prime time to do those things.

Tips for working your business on the weekends:

• Hold parties (home or online)
• Meet with clients you can’t reach during the week
• Work on your online marketing
• Vendor Shows
• Yard Sales
• Prospecting time looking for new clients and representatives/consultants

Here is a video that I made talking about this topic on Periscope and the replay is on my YouTube channel. If you are on Periscope (Live Streaming Video App) you can follow me @amandabeautytip.

Using Social Media and the Internet to Grow Your Business

Here is my YouTube video on the subject:

I received these tips from the Campaign 10 What’s New Demo Book for Avon. Some of these tips may be applicable to other businesses as well. Thanks for reading! To view the Campaign 10 What’s New online Click Here The tips are on pages 28-29.

1. Add a link to your eStore on all of your Social Media Outlets. Be careful on certain platforms that have rules about not using the platform solely for business.
   1. For Facebook you want to add to your About Section that you are an Avon Ind. Sales Rep with your link (or with your current business if it’s not Avon with a link). You also want to create a Business Page and use that for business posts. You can then share from your business page to your personal page just do not overwhelm your personal friends with business posts.
   2. For Pinterest the best thing to do is to create a Pinterest for Business account to pin business related items including products. You can have a separate Pinterest for Business account using a business email and then follow that account with your Personal Account and pin from time to time your Business account pins to your personal account. Just be mindful Pinterest does not want us using personal accounts to promote businesses so it needs to be done discreetly. You can also encourage your friends to follow your business accounts as well.
2. For Avon, have your automated email system turned on so that customers that enroll will receive special offers. Some customers do not like the frequency these emails are sent out, however serious online shoppers will be used to it as I have subscribed to other retail outlets and they send out emails just as often and subscribers can always unsubscribe. In four years selling I’ve only had a handful of people unsubscribe from getting the emails. Better to have it turned on then off, because it reminds subscribers you are still there and there is sometimes online exclusive offers that they won’t find out about otherwise. If you are not with Avon and reading this, then there are ways to use email to get customer attention. You can send out newsletters or informational emails to let customers know of the latest products. There are some great email programs out there some of which let you set them up to be automated.
3. Personalize your Avon eStore by going to youravon.com>>web office>>eStore>>edit eStore A main way to customize it is to add to the About Area and update with a personal picture.
4. Add website information to all business materials–brochures, cards, etc.
5. Use the Social Media center to share to Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest. You can get there from youravon.com>>web office>>Social Media center (This center has posts that Avon has done all the work for you and all you have to do is share them).

How to Sell Makeup

Here are some basic tips for selling makeup and growing your color sales:

• Remind customers of the 100% money back guarantee–Avon prides itself on this guarantee and as an Avon Representative you really need to honor the guarantee to have optimal customer satisfaction. Customers are more likely to trust you and order from you when they know they can return something they do not like and get their money back or get credit for their next order. I rarely have customers return, but all of my customers know they can return and so far everyone has been fine with a credit for their next order so I still have them as a customer. Online direct delivery customers must ask Avon themselves for a return as it is like any other company you buy online from and you must deal with the company itself, however the representative may be able to help if needed.
• Use samples when available–Samples of foundations, eyeshadows, and lipsticks can be very beneficial to your business. Customers want to know the shade fits them and samples can let them try before they buy. Just make sure to follow up on the samples that you give out to customers and potential customers to get the full size sale.
• Use demo products to show to your customers and sell on hand–This is especially important when new products come out. You are able to demo or show the product to the customer to get them excited about the product and then either sell it on hand to them right then and there or take the order if you are using the product solely for demo purposes.
• Wear the makeup yourself and show others–I always wear Avon makeup. When someone compliments you on your lipstick shade then make sure you mention it’s Avon and that can be a great conversation starter. The other thing that some representatives do is create videos where they show customers and potential customers certain makeup looks and what products were used to create those looks.
• Take advantage of what Avon provides you along the lines of Get the Look videos and brochure pages–many times Avon will state what a model is wearing in the brochure and you can use this to sell certain looks to your customers right from the brochure. There is also a lot of videos on the Avon Products YouTube channel that show makeup looks and some are even right on your eStore and in the Social Media Center for you to share with your customers. When people see something they like or a trendy look that they can get with certain products they are more likely to buy makeup from you.
• Educate customers on when to replace certain products–there is a lot of information on this topic out there on the web. The basic rule is we should update our makeup quarterly with the seasons, but some things can last a year or more. Also, whenever you are sick you should replace your makeup with new products so you don’t spread the infection. Here is my article on the topic
• Offer trade in incentives when your customers trade in old makeup–depending on your earnings level and budget, one idea to grow sales is to offer an incentive to your customers to replace their old makeup Avon or not with your Avon products. This is a win-win because the customer gets a discount and you get orders and customer loyalty, just make sure you don’t cut too much into your sales profits.
• Know Avon USA’s Stance on Animal Testing and Product Safety–Both of these stances from Avon Corporate are available on their website. Avon DOES NOT Contain lead in the lipstick and DOES NOT test on animals except where required by law (which it is not required by law for the USA, but Avon is also working to end ALL animal testing in countries where it still happens).

How To Sell Skincare

For this topic, I used the Campaign 7 2015 What’s New Demo Catalog to get a lot of my information. These catalogs are for representatives only. Not a rep yet? Join the AVON Family today by clicking here!

Basic Tips:

• Get your customers onto a regimen–cleanser, treatment, day cream, night cream, and eye cream
• Take advantage of the skincare quiz Avon provides and the ANEW Skincare directory that is in every brochure to find the regimen that best fits the needs of your customers
• Invest in Demos and Samples–when customers can try then they are more likely to buy
• The best deals for stocking up on Skincare Samples is to use Sample Bundles and Sample Deals that are found in the What’s New Catalogs for Representatives or only get samples as needed by customer request
• Samples and Travel Size Minis are available in many of our skincare products so offer to get these for customers to try before they purchase the full size regimen
• Invest in Stock Up Incentives (if you can afford)–when customers can buy right then, Skincare can be an impulse buy.
• Remind customers of the 100% money back guarantee, if they do not like it, then they can return it and you can get credit back for the item(s) in order to return the money to the customers and not owe AVON
• Start looking for the Skincare Bulletins with Campaign 18 2015 in both the What’s New Catalogs and Brochures

Regimen Order:

1. Cleanse
2. Treat with specialized treatment products
3. Moisturize AM and PM
4. Eye Cream

Ideas to Grow Skincare Sales:

• Host a Skincare Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, or Party to share the AVON Skincare with potential customers and current customers
• Use AVON’s Social Media Center to Grow Skincare Sales by sharing products on Social Media
• Have Samples of the newest Skincare Products when they are released and give them out to your skincare customers and potential skincare customers
