I recently became an Avon representative. It was a purely pragmatic decision; I hadn’t perused an Avon book in many years. I bought a license to sell the brand because name recognition coupled with minimal start-up costs ($10) made Avon an ideal business for my fledgling entrepreneur clients making their first foray into network marketing. I didn’t even bother shopping the website before my initial meeting with my district manager. I thought I knew the product line – lipstick, bubble bath and other girly-girl stuff. My interest was in the marketing model and the compensation plan; satisfied with both, I schlepped home all the paperwork, samples and books I received in trade.
In an instant I owned Avon and I know you know, the more you know about your product the easier it is to sell. So I poured some coffee and checked out my website. OMGoodness ya’ll. I know it sounds cliché, but this is not ur momma’s Avon. Yes, there’s still mascara, fabulous fragrances and all the primp and pamper Avon is famous for, but there is so much more – creations to brighten your home, too kool clothes and cute comfortable shoes. I expected ye olde make-up shoppe and found my new one stop, right price boutique extraordinaire.
If you’re like I was and Avon is only a distant memory of beautiful bottles on grandma’s vanity, I invite you to discover for yourself why it’s not ur momma’s Avon. It’s so kool; we even deliver direct to your door; look for the Free Shipping offer.
