<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">A limited time offer can often move the skeptic customer and procrastinator from prospect to buying customer. Since putting a deadline on an offer frequently will move that hesitant person to action. Try making Avon coupons.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Plan all your appointments before you walk out the door. Have clear objectives for each one. Ask yourself "what is the best outcome", and make up guidelines for the appointment to follow. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Prepare for questions and anticipate answers. And of course, have all the literature and materials you will need.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Remember: If you expect to succeed, or expect to fail, you will generally get what you expect.</span><br />

</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><blockquote><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="layout-grid-mode: line;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">A Avon Representative will get 80% of their sales from 20% of their customers. Know exactly who those 20% are and target that group with power.</span></span></span></div></blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="layout-grid-mode: line;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="layout-grid-mode: line;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Research is a very important part of your marketing plan. Ask and Answer who your prospects are, and where, why, when, and how they are converted into active buyers. </span></span></span></div></blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I find that most of my buyers are women and many are over the age of 40. So I look for places and ways I can expose that group to my Avon business. One of the best places I have found to sell in is a retirement community. I have many residents buy, and even more nurses and aids. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="layout-grid-mode: line;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">As your business grows, prepare a strategic marketing plan looking at how your Avon products will meet the long-term needs of your customers. </span></span></span></div></blockquote><br />

You can buy a list in your surrounding zip code to target those prospects who are close to you. You can start out by send out only a small size of literature to see what the response will be. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This enables you to stop the campaign if response is too low or find out if it will be high. If it’s just you working your Avon Representative business are you going to be able to handle all the requests for brochures if the response is very high?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In addition, a direct mail campaign is faster than a advertising campaign. You will know if the direct mail campaign is effective in a short amount of time, within a week. The costs are low if researched and planned right. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Since it is cost effective you can test the response to different types of literature sent out. You can also target the same groups over and over. This is idea since it is said that it takes people an average of 7 exposures to your business for them to finally inquire and buy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I have been asked by another Avon Representative, Brenda, to do a blog post on my postcard direct mailing campaign and my Try-Avon-On-Me Baggies that I mentioned in my post on my up-dated goals. I love being asked to write about something and I will happily share all the ways I prospect for customers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">When I signed on to do Avon my upline told me to get business cards at vistaprint.com. I love stationary products and after I viewed vista print.com and all their great deals I fell in love with site. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Over time I notice that you could do a postcard direct mail campaign through their site. I first paid to send out postcards I had created to 100 people.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I then realized that vistaprint.com sells lists of people based on zip codes. I thought “it would be cheaper if I got the 100 postcards for free.” (You pay for shipping). Then send them out on my own. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I bought the list and got the several 100 postcards. I then thought of asking a customer of mine who has free time if she would like to fill them out. In return, I would pay her by giving her free Avon products and letting her order out of my What’s New book. She agreed and has become a best friend.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">On the cards, I offer either a free gift, product that is least priced is free. Or 15% Off. I have found several customers this way. I like paying a little extra money to do this campaign because tossing is so hard to do in the winter. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I’m not knocking tossing. There is nothing like getting a full-color brochure in the hands of a prospective customer. Really, the costs are only a little more than buying a few 100 brochures. However, stamps can kill you. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Another thing I have always done is make up bags of samples with a trial size sample or 2 chap sticks, a magnet business card (which I got from vista print.com and I have found they are more likely to be kept by the prospects since they can display it in their kitchen), and a postcard/coupon. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I have always given these out as a welcome gift to new customers. Recently, I have started handing them out periodically with a brochure to anyone who is interested and may buy Avon. I call them Try-Avon-On-Me Baggies. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I get most of my samples from Avon Representatives going out of business on Ebay. If you do this make sure it is cost effective per unit. Many people are selling samples for more than Avon does. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Also make sure you are not getting a discontinued product. I always get my trial sizes directly from Avon when I find them on sale in the brochure, outlet or flyers. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I have talked about how you need to be using trial sizes on both my Avon Representative blog. On this blog the post is called “Why You Should Be Using Trial Sizes” go here to see it:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">A new campaign that I have started is placing brochures in what’s new bags on the bulletin board at my grocery store. </span><br />

They have had enough of being dictated to. And are fed up with long and frustrating commutes to work. They want the freedom of being their own boss and to be able to choose their own hours of work.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Are you thinking about setting up your own business? If your answer to this question is yes, this post could be of great value to you. The best way I know of starting a successful home business is to become an Avon Representative. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Avon is celebrating 125 years with over 5 million representatives, and the number of Avon Representatives is expected to keep growing with the continuing success of the company’s direct selling method.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Avon is a leading global beauty company with over $8 billion in annual revenue. As the world's largest direct seller, Avon markets to women in well over 100 countries. Representatives earn more than $3 billion annually. And Avon has more than one billion annual Customer transactions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You Need To Get In On This Action!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Leaving a full time career can be quite a scary prospect. The security of having a regular income can be hard to let go of. Other people are willing and happy to take the risk and see it as a way of getting out of the rat race. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Being an Avon Representative is the most rewarding thing I have ever done. It is true, it can take a few weeks or even a few months to get your business started, but you will be happy in the end. Unlike other companies there are no huge startup fees, no quotas, no stock, no parties, no boundaries and no meetings that you have to attend. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">All you will need to do is pay $10 to start your Avon business. That includes your kit, your learning materials, the application and unlimited access to a website designed for you to succeed. At your Avon.com, you will find all the training material you will need and there are Beauty of Knowledge classes to get you going.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">In my blog I have written about 27 reasons to be a Avon Representative</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--$10 Start-Up fee includes free training.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Why pay retail? Order items for yourself and save up to 50% depending on the size of your order.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Free Shipping! When order is on time.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--No minimum order required or you can go a campaign without placing an order.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--No stock or inventory needed.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--No more need to do door to door selling.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--No designated territories.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">--It's really fun!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Don’t have to change your lifestyle, only give an Avon brochure to people you know or see around town.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Preview & buy all the great new products and gifts 2 months in advance and at special prices.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--The next time you are about to place a $25 order (which is the size of the average order), you can cover the start-up fee of $10 and buy yourself something.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Unlimited earnings.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--You can do more then be a Representative, you can be an E-Representative, you can be a Beauty Advisor and do leadership.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Through leadership you can help other achieve their dreams too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Give Back to the community by doing a fundraiser with any organization.</span><br />

Being a Avon Representative is a great way to earn money part-time or full-time. I have my own business and I love it. I only do it part time since I have started blogging full time. I didn't even sign up to make money. I started to get my products at a discount.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I have been looking at my stats for my Avon blogs and my largest group of readers on this blog are from Hungary. I would like to say "Welcome" and What's a Avon Business like in Hungary? Are these posts helping you or is there something you would like to see more on?</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I have also notice that out of that group of Hungary readers only 2 are going to my other Avon blog "A Business Woman's Story". Therefore, I am going to start adding links to the blogs at the bottom of the posts. This what I should have been doing.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span> </span></div>AngiesAvon1http://www.blogger.com/profile/12337181034759180374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249368782021211780.post-53220601096489638882011-03-04T01:26:00.002-05:002011-03-04T01:40:01.062-05:00The Ick Factor In The Avon Representative Sales Process<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Avon tells us Avon Representative that the fortune is in the follow-up. When you follow-up with your customers you re-connect with them and continue to build a relationship, which allows your business to grow. All the sales experts say to follow up and ask for the sale, do not wait for them to call you. Just because a customer hasn't called doesn't mean they do not want to buy, they may be waiting for you or they have forgot when the order is due back to you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br />
<br />
<br />
But if you are like me, you do not make that call because you do not want to bother the customer or appear pushy. I did a survey with my regular customers that asked the question "would you like a reminder call", all but one asked for a follow up call.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br />
<br />
<br />
So What Can We Do:</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br />
<br />
The term follow-up is misleading by definition. We do not want to "follow" but take the "lead". Based on the definition of lead from dictionary.com, ‘to act as a guide or to influence’, we can see that this word is much more appropriate. The term lead is a perfect description of the part of the sales process where the representative gets in contact with the customer to ask for the sell.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br />
<br />
<br />
When we need to change follow-up to lead-up. That way we get a description of what we need to be doing. We are given positive action verbs that make us believe we are acting in the best interest of the customer. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">When a customer buys from a Avon Representative, it’s not because you have some magical power. You can urge or push or entice. However, the customer will actually do what they want to do. This means your job is to show how what you’re offering meets your prospect’s needs. First, find out what problem they have. Second, show how which Avon product will solve the problem. </span><br />

They really buy products from Avon representative because the product will solve a problem they are dealing with. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I have found a great article “Buyers Buy for Their Own Reasons, Not Ours!” that covers buyers’ behavior and motivation for making purchases that I want to share with you. I have found the information in the article to be very useful in my own Avon business,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">“In its simplest form, motivation emerges as a cycle. It starts with a want or need, expressed or hidden. Inherent in this is a problem, a problem that must be overcome in order to satisfy the want that must be solved. Once solved, the want can be satisfied and the cycle is completed….”</span><br />

However, there are some businesses that just seem to weather the tough times with grace. They are not really affected by recessions. Some would say they have a secret source... Maybe they do... Customers.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">We all know, customers always buy. In the good times and in the bad times. They still have needs and still have to make purchases. When a Avon Representative understands their needs and wants, they will have the keys to keeping an in flow of sales and profits to their business. Implement these three tactics that successful marketers use, and you're set for success.<br />
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">1. Just One</span><br />

Sometimes it's hard for a customer to make up their mind about what you really do want when Avon sells over 5,000 great products. But it pays to promote one product over the others. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Focusing on one product will create interest in your Avon businesses. It spells out loud and clear... THIS IS THE BEST DEAL. That will be the deciding factor in most cases. It also grabs a customers attention and get them interested in what else you have to offer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Promoting all of Avon’s products is overwhelming to a customer. They will back away from you. In addition, if a Avon Representative focuses one product, it will focus your advertising. And your marketing will be easy for your customers to understand.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">2. Make Them Feel Good</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Customers buy because they want to enjoy the pleasures of the purchase. A lady might buy a dress because she wants to feel sexy. And a man will buy Black Suede to attract women. Emotions are the key element that drives purchases.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">First, find out what your customer wants. Then talk about how your product can help them to reach their goal. Use your words to get them to feel their pain. Have them see it in their mind. Next help them to feel what it will be like when the problem is gone. Finally, introduce your product as the means to cure the problem.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Using word pictures to stir up the emotions will get you the sale. Let them "feel" the benefits, and they'll be more apt to hand over their money. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">3. Make Contact And Follow Up</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Following up with a customer who didn't buy can be the determining factor between an "almost sale" and a satisfied, loyal customer. Avon teaches their representatives that the “fortune is in the follow up”. Simply contact them afterwards and let them know the product is still available or offer them further information they may find valuable.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Following up with a customer keeps you and your Avon business in their mind. You can offer additional information about your products. And when they have a problem they will think of you and your products. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">It is said that it takes many customers an average of 7 contacts with you to even make the first purchase. So follow up and keep giving information about your Avon business and the products Avon has for sale. It will also help to keep providing samples.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using these 3 tactics a Avon Representative can make their sales sky rocket.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />

They have had enough of being dictated to. And are fed up with long and frustrating commutes to work. They want the freedom of being their own boss and to be able to choose their own hours of work.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Are you thinking about setting up your own business? If your answer to this question is yes, this post could be of great value to you. The best way I know of starting a successful home business is to become an Avon Representative. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Avon is celebrating 125 years with over 5 million representatives, and the number of Avon Representatives is expected to keep growing with the continuing success of the company’s direct selling method.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Avon is a leading global beauty company with over $8 billion in annual revenue. As the world's largest direct seller, Avon markets to women in well over 100 countries. Representatives earn more than $3 billion annually. And Avon has more than one billion annual Customer transactions.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You Need To Get In On This Action!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Leaving a full time career can be quite a scary prospect. The security of having a regular income can be hard to let go of. Other people are willing and happy to take the risk and see it as a way of getting out of the rat race. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Being an Avon Representative is the most rewarding thing I have ever done. It is true, it can take a few weeks or even a few months to get your business started, but you will be happy in the end. Unlike other companies there are no huge startup fees, no quotas, no stock, no parties, no boundaries and no meetings that you have to attend. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">All you will need to do is pay $10 to start your Avon business. That includes your kit, your learning materials, the application and unlimited access to a website designed for you to succeed. At your Avon.com, you will find all the training material you will need and there are Beauty of Knowledge classes to get you going.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">In my blog I have written about 27 reasons to be a Avon Representative</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--$10 Start-Up fee includes free training.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Why pay retail? Order items for yourself and save up to 50% depending on the size of your order.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Free Shipping! When order is on time.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--No minimum order required or you can go a campaign without placing an order.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--No stock or inventory needed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--No more need to do door to door selling.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--No designated territories.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Great incentive programs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Prizes and Representative free stuff.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Recognition.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--It's really fun!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Don’t have to change your lifestyle, only give an Avon brochure to people you know or see around town.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Preview & buy all the great new products and gifts 2 months in advance and at special prices.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--The next time you are about to place a $25 order (which is the size of the average order), you can cover the start-up fee of $10 and buy yourself something.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Unlimited earnings.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--You can do more then be a Representative, you can be an E-Representative, you can be a Beauty Advisor and do leadership.</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Through leadership you can help other achieve their dreams too.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Give Back to the community by doing a fundraiser with any organization.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Sign up for 401(a) & 501(a) Savings Plans.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Avon, through it's partners, offers Medical Benefits and Life Insurance.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--College Scholarships Available for you and your children if you qualify. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Representative Discounts--40% to start and then up to 50% off.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Free online training and classes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Quarterly Support Sales Meetings.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Room for advancement and growth.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--Mentoring from your Unit Leader and/or District Sales Manager.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">--The option to have your own website to manage your customer base and sell online.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">All you need to do to sign up is contact me directly through email on this site or, email me on my Avon website. I will set up an appointment time and take you through the whole process. I will also get all the materials to you overnight.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I will help you succeed in anyway I can, no matter where you are in the world. I have training manuals that I have made up separate from Avon’s materials, I run 2 blogs for Avon Representatives and you can reach me anytime of day.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It is also important to realize that we will make mistakes along the way. When this happens you need to think positive and contact me. It is an experience we can learn from.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Always have a belief in yourself. At times any business will go through a rocky period, this is when we need to be strong. In my opinion the more work you put in, the more rewards you are likely to obtain. And I always say “the more time you spend doing Avon, the more money you will make.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />

<br />
Being a Avon Representative is a great way to earn money part time or full time. I have my own business and I love it. I only do it part time since I have started blogging full time. I didn't even sign up to make money. I started to get my products at a discount.<br />

However, most members are extremely online savvy and they smell blatant advertisements from miles away. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">It is important to know some basics and gain experiences in utilizing the site. And interacting with its members before you start planning your facebook marketing campaign.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">1. Create a profile. The first step is to create a profile. Sign up using your real name and upload some pictures. If you do not have an email with a top-level edu domain, by default you join a regional network based on your zip code or international address. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Later, you have the option to join your company's network and change your regional networks. You can change your networks twice in a 60-day period.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Always upload a profile picture. If you don't upload a picture, facebook places a default question mark icon. It is a good strategy to show your face in facebook. Don't use group pictures for your profile because others may have difficulty identifying you in the group pictures. Don't use logos, your cute cat or dogs’ pictures, or a picture of your expensive car and boat.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">You don't have to fill out all the profile information. Fill in only the information you are comfortable sharing with others. If you want to find dates using facebook, fill up the relationship status feature of your profile accordingly. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Don't change your profile status often because others will notice it and doubt your trustworthiness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">2. Make friends. On Facebook a Avon Representatives can find active facebook friends by using the emails in their address book. Once you get a few friends, new friend requests will pour in from your friends of friends. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">You can also search for friends and send requests. I searched “Avon” and asked everyone with Avon in their name to be my friend. Work on creating a network of 100 to 200 friends. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Don't make friends with celebrities because in most cases these are fake profiles setup for marketing purposes.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">3. Upload pictures and videos. Start uploading some interesting pictures and group them in albums of travel pictures, baby shower photos, bachelor party scenes, etc. Pictures help people connect with your life without meeting you face to face. Always upload a number of related pictures or themes.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Create a random albums and put all your random pictures in the random album. Tag your pictures to identify people on the pictures. When you tag your friends in your pictures, they show up in their wall. You can also share your albums with others outside facebook. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Avon Representatives can also upload personal videos using their browser or mobile phone or directly record videos to facebook.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">4. Use friends' walls and never post on your own wall. You have a wall in facebook for others to write notes. Don't write in your own wall. Write in your friends' walls. Your friends will write notes, share videos or links in your wall. You do the same in your friends' walls. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">When a friend posts something on your wall, reply to the post. If you find the posting annoying, politely ask them to back off and clean up your wall.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">5. Join a few groups. There are all sorts of organic groups in facebook. These are groups of people with similar interests. Find a few that interest you and join them. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">You can create your own group but first find out if one exists on the same topic. This is an excellent place to be creative and get support from a bunch of people for your cause.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">6. Create events and invite people. If you want to host a party, this is the feature you will use. Create your events and invite others to join. You can make an event public for your friends to see or private for the invitees to browse. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">7. Send notes and share links. You send notes to your friends. Depending on the topic, you can send a note to a few friends or to all friends in your network. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Don't send chain letter notes because people find these repulsive. Your notes show up in your friends' news feeds or on their walls. A tagged note shows up on the wall, otherwise, it is found in the homepage news feed. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Use share for sharing links, even though you can use this feature for sharing notes. Share the link of a cheap travel-booking site that you found while surfing the net planning your upcoming vacation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">8. Visit your homepage everyday. Besides your profile page in facebook, you also have a homepage. You homepage displays collaborative news feeds of all your friends, event and group invitations, friendship requests, friends' birthdays, etc. If you want to know what is going on in your facebook friend circle, visit your homepage everyday.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The other features of facebook are poke, marketplace, facebook mobile, and hundreds of applications that enhance the facebook experience. As the facebook awareness grows, online marketers have started pounding the facebook door to gain a foothold. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><strong> </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><strong>A singer/songwriter from Cincinnati, Ronnie has been playing guitar for almost 30 years now. He wrote his first song “Right Out The Door” in 1983 during his 8<sup>th</sup> grade school year.</strong></span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><strong> </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Ronnie Gibson had 12 top 40 songs, and 2 top 5 songs on the mega music website Mp3.com around 2002.

<strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><strong>In his younger days, Ronnie played bass guitar for several bands in and around the Cincinnati area.

<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">"Any Prospect Is A Good Prospect"</span></strong></div><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"></span><span helvetica="" neue??="" style="color: blue;"><span helvetica="" neue??="" style="color: blue;"><span helvetica="" neue??="" style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"></span></span></span><br />
<div align="center"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></div><b><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The mindset by which you approach a prospect determines the final outcome more than Anything Else you do. Therefore, your fame of mind should be friendly, confident, smiley, self-assured, enthusiastic, positive, and completely prepared. On your mind? You should be thinking about the customers.</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span ms??="" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;" trebuchet="">That's a great commandment but what do you do when you wake up late, have a nine o'clock appointment and still have to drop your teenager off at school? Your mindset is negative, unsure, nasty, and unprepared.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The first step in the process of changing your belief system is to monitor your thoughts. And the next step is to control them through the power of choice.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br />
<br />
<br />
According to a study "self-talk" is 150-300 word per minute. And it is thought that 40% of the messages in your mind are negative and self-critical. What you can do is choose to reframe your negative thought, and choose to let the voice in your mind talk about happy things.</span><b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Choosing to change your mind changes your attitude. We all have days when we believe we will not get the prospects and there is really no reason to go out and prospect for customers and downline.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">You will always have to deal with difficult, awkward and unresponsive people. When this happens to you, do not dwell on it and sink into despondency. Instead just forget about it, move on and start all over again.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">In addition, you set the tone for the outcome with enthusiasm, attitude and by putting your belief system into place. Thinking you will get the prospect is dependent on your self-confidence. In return, self-confidence is based on your preparation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">We need to learn about our world everyday. And learning about our techniques will enable us to give ourselves those confident thoughts.</span><br />

I have heard of people who made $3000.00 in sales in a single event. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The biggest advantage of an Avon fund-raiser is selling useful products from a nationally known brand name that people will love spending money on. Parents would rather purchase bubble bath, sunscreen, lotion, seasonal gifts, and other needed products instead of over-priced candy. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">There are two types of fund-raisers you can offer. The single page flyer, with easy to sell products on one side and an order form for on the other side. </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Or a full-brochure event, showing all the products.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">An Avon fund-raisers provides a 40% profit on the total dollar sale of Avon products sold by your charity. You can give the whole 40% to the group or less. Many choose to give 30% so that they are compensated for their effort. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">In order to achieve the 40% profit, your group would need to sell a minimum of $1,500.00 in Avon products. If your group’s sales total were below $1,500 you would earn the following profits:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">Total Sales Percentage of Earnings</span><br />
<br />
</u><div align="center"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">$0 - $249--20%</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">$249.01 - $40--25%</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">$401.01 - $850--30%</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">$850.01 - $1,499.99--35%</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;">$1,500 and up--40%</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"></span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">As you can see by the enclosed chart it would only take 10 people selling $15 worth of Avon products to 10 customers to reach total sales of $1,500 and the 40% earnings profit margin.</span></div><span arial??=""><span arial??=""><br />

Do think that “everybody else gives, they don’t need my help“? No! Not everyone is giving and everyday a dog goes hungry and a child sits in a hospital with nothing to look forward to.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Charities cover a wide range of issues and causes. There are charities for family planning, AIDS, animal protection, human rights, and cancer, just to name a few. People give to charities for various reasons, including personal reasons, religion and for a tax incentives. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have chosen to include 2 charities on my blogs “Diary Of A Mad Avon Lady” and “A Business Woman” Story, The Art of Elysium and spcaLA. Both are very near and dear to my heart. They deal with the 3 things I love the most, children, the arts and animals. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Art of Elysium encourages working actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions. They provide artistic workshops in the following disciplines: acting, art, comedy, fashion, music, radio, songwriting and creative writing.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">spcaLA believes that animals, as living creatures, have value beyond economic measurement, and are entitled to legal, moral and ethical consideration and protection. spcaLA is not affiliated with any other "SPCA" or humane society. And do not receive any support from either of these agencies.</span></span><span lang="EN"><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Both are non-profit and very worthy causes. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thank you for reading this post, and if you give, thank you from me, the children, and all those animals who can speak for themselves.</span></span><br />

People love free stuff and they especially like the trial-sizes because they see it as a “large gift” and have more of the product to try then with a small sample. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">People today are hesitant to spend their hard-earned money on something new, unless they receive a recommendation from a friend, family member or other trusted source. But if Avon Representative offers them a trial-size of a product for free, two things happen; first they are allowed to test the product without any risk, and second a law of reciprocity kicks in, they will feel compelled to buy.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There are many ways to use this cost-effective way of letting Avon customers try an item. Avon Representatives should be on the look out for trial-sizes on sale in the brochures, flyers, and the outlet (you need to be giving your customers a outlet, they will be grateful to get the items for some cheap and will sometimes make a larger order). I also look on eBay for Avon Representatives who having an going out of business sale. However, calculate the cost per each item before bidding. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When giving trial-sizes away try to give them to people who would most likely use the item, your target market. Then tell them they can get the large size from you and try to get contact information. Also remember to give any instructions on how to use the product. And if you can, write down who got what, to follow up later. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am going to give away some trial sizes of Anew and a coupon in campaign 4. Doing this I hope you boost sales, find new customers through referrals and lower my costs of marketing and customer acquisition.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Ways Avon Representatives Can Use Trial-Sizes</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Promote a product</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Gift for large order</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Give to most loyal customers</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome to Avon gifts for first order</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pass out when out about with business card</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Gift for when customer gives a referral </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Give to customer so they can give them to friend or family to try and then get a referral</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For you or customer to try a new product to be able to recommend it to others</span><br />
<br />
<br />

Many say it hinders the blogs and others say it has worked for them.You may have noticed some changes around here. Since the blogs are getting to be a month old, it is time to add advertising. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">When I first started the my blogs 'Diary Of A Mad Avon Lady' and 'A Business Woman's Story', I wasn’t thinking about making money with them. I have never been paid for my writing and now I am excited that I may be. I have increased motivation and the blogs are starting to feel established.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I will continue to bring Avon Representatives the highest quality of information on how to run their Avon business. Therefore, click to follow these blogs and check back often.</span></span>AngiesAvon1http://www.blogger.com/profile/12337181034759180374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249368782021211780.post-14492792744976307102011-01-18T18:21:00.000-05:002011-01-18T18:21:08.071-05:00Are You Blogging Yet? Reasons Avon Representatives Should Be Blogging for Their Business<span style="font-size: large;">The best thing we can do when we want to attract customers to our Avon Representative website is to start blogging. Blogging gives people a sense of familiarity with you and your products, and enables you to promote your business. When blogging you need to give readers motivation to do something better, and start a conversations around your products.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Blogs (or weblog) have been around for 20 years. A blog is where a blogger posts content and expects to start a 2-way conversation. Through consistent and informative blogging you can be seen as an expert in your field and influence people, leading them to your Avon website.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">According to the experts blogging drives 55% more visitors to your Avon Representative website, 97% new inbound links, and 434% new indexed pages of content. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In addition, Avon can not control its image and the messages it sends out to the public, however we as Representative can contribute to that conversation and maybe influence it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What does this mean?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the ways to fast popularity is by blogging. By blogging you can drive more people to your Avon Representative website and therefore be in a situation to make more sales. Blogs let people get to know your Avon business on a less formal basis. Through a blog you can create information about Avon products and a forum of conversation about your business. In the end, your blog should create a sense of community around you and your business.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Also, blogging allows you to reach a wider audience, since </span><span style="font-size: large;">77% of internet users read blogs. Regularly posting will give your company new innovations, ideas, and news. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Why is blogging effective? Because it allows you to be first in the list when someone searches for an </span><span style="font-size: large;">Avon Representative. Search engines, such as google or yahoo, love fresh, new content. Old content is considered </span><span style="font-size: large;">inaccurate and not relevant. Posting everyday is considered more relevant and will be pulled first. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You should be asking yourself not "Why should I blog?", but rather, "Why shouldn't I blog". </span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you love to search the web, read, write, and have a desire to network you need to be blogging. And you need to like publicising your thoughts, opinions, and ideas. You do not need to go to school to blog, everything you need to know is on the internet. Blogs require a long-term effort, in order to build up content and it will take several months to see any solid results. You must make a large commitment in time and effort. Fit your blog into your everyday efforts and stick to it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You can pay for a site to blog, but why, there are over 40 free sites including this one, Blogger, and Wordpress.</span><br />

Remember to always include samples in brochures and orders, it will help you sell products. I have had many people buy an item after I give them a sample, and especially after I give them a trial size. I make up Welcome/Try Avon Baggies that have many samples, including several perfume and skin care, a postcard/coupon that I have made for dirt cheap at vistaprint.com, and a trial bottle of SSS, Naturals, bubble bath, etc. You can get trial sizes for as low as 59 cents and then you get your discount. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> An Avon perfume, alone or in a set with body lotion and shower gel, makes a great gift for all occasions. On holidays, they can easily be marketed to men to give to their wife, girlfriend, or even mother. Below are 35 ways to help you sell perfume. </span><br />
