NEWS
FLASH!!
Although business
cards work great we've discovered that there are more subtle
(OK well maybe not so subtle) ways to build your Avon
business. Now we have a large collection of apparel from
t-shirts to ball caps - from coffee mugs to tote bags to
assist you in making your business all that it can
be. There are hundreds of items to help you with
recruiting, selling or just to reward your downline
.
Advertising is a
MUST!
Those in business know this, I don't know of any way to
build a business without advertising. We all know the caveman
from Geiko right? What do you think of when you think of
Affleck?
So let me ask you this. How do you advertise
your business? If your not achieving the levels you know that
you can then you need to understand what the problem is.
We use a more subtle (less annoying approach) its
more subjective - lets face it every one wants to make more
money right? What if you were wearing a sweatshirt that offered folks
to do just that - MAKE MORE money? Check out the items
we've designed and you will see how you can turn yourself
into a "BILLBOARD" for your own business

| Welcome Ladies (and a few
gents).
This
page has but two purposes - to provide you with some useful
information and some tools that have been designed to assist
you in building your business.
The Truth
I've
watched many Ladies get all excited about living the lavish
lifestyle portrayed on Avon's promotional material. Can you
achieve it - Absolutely, but most won't. Why, I suppose
because they forget that it requires devotion and commitment.
You must keep the dream (or reason) in front of you. Its
also important to realize the "Rome wasn't built in a day".
You MUST be patient! And you must realize that you must do
things a little different I've included some tips about the
business as well as some creative products that HAVE worked in
achieving your goals.
Gas Prices and Your
Business
As of today 5/28/08 gas prices have
increased .15 a gallon the past week alone, the national
average is $3.94! This is continuing bad news for anyone
trying to grow or maintain a business and you as an Avon
Representative have no doubt noticed a drop in sales and in
new recruits. I've noticed a surge in web traffic this past
few months as Ladies are desperately searching for new
innovative ways to attract business. I've said it before
and I'll say it again YOU NEED TO ADVERTISE!!! If you depend
on your Avon business for financial support you can't wait for
prices to drop and your customers
to start buying again. There art lots of ideas provided
in my blog - basic business ideas that
if you revisit will serve to encourage and thus stimulate
your business. The products I've designed are also
very helpful. Remember your not the only one trying
to get by, many folks are looking for an
opportunity to make extra money. I recommend you look at these
items and keep an open mind. I'll be designing more
soon that relate to the high cost of gas. Remember
though, that to survive this crises you must do things differently!
Who Am I?
I'm the husband of the "Avon Lady" , a
professional photographer and marketing consultant. My wife
asked me to design a few products that would assist her in
building her business. She felt there was very little "out
there" to accomplish this task. I set to work and put several
items together that we have tested and found to be quite
successful in attracting new business or to recruit new
Ladies.
I felt a more subtle approach would work the
best - we are hammered all the time with adds are we not?
Thank goodness for Tivo! I encourage you to have a look at the
products I've created, you will I'm sure see the logic right
away!
I'm trying to help
I believe its a husbands responsibility to help
or at least encourage his wife - Not always so
apparently. It seems to me that most Representatives are
on their own and many receive little assistance from District
Managers, or Up Line. I work with my wife because I see the
commitment she has to her business, her Ladies and her
customers.
Why don't the products
say Avon on them?
They would have, we tried to negotiate
with Avon to use their Logo but there is such a small profit
in creating a very small quantity that after paying Avon their
"royalties" for using their name we would actually be losing
several dollars per item! We have found that the image works
just fine to spark someone's interest and we are legally able
to do this without infringing on the Avon Name and or
Logo.
I like them
but I'm still not sure, they look like just pretty pictures to
me.
They are designed to be pretty, in many cases you'll be wearing them! We want
people to notice the images and the message that accompanies
them. We have a variety of products available from
apparel to coffee mugs, we encourage you to use them
to suit your own needs - be creative and get the word out
there!
Special items made for
attracting new Representatives or building your customer base.
