I have recently added “Avon Lady” to the list of names I am known by around town. What would make me decide to market Avon products? There are several reasons that brought me to signing on the dotted line and I will share some of them with you.
First of all, I am an Avon user. I won’t use the word “addict” because of the negative images it conjures but it is probably the more appropriate choice.
My Mom started my obsession when I was in elementary school. She was “The Avon Lady” in the small community where I grew up. It was too cool! There were ladies coming to the house all the time to visit or we were in the car going to visit them. Mom always looked the part. She had her hair done weekly, wore pretty dresses and her makeup was flawless. Her smile was always shining with the latest lipstick color. Mom was a red-haired beauty – a real head turner – that symbolized to me what fashion was all about. I wanted to be like her. How she accomplished all of this while raising 4 kids is beyond me but she did it. And, she did it well.
That brings me to this point. The Avon Company has been in business since the late 1800’s. Mom was an Avon Lady in the late 60’s. That’s been over 40 years ago! They “ain’t” going nowhere, folks. Why is that worth mentioning?
Have you ever joined a direct selling or mlm venture and had them to close their doors? I have. I worked hard to build my customer base and recruit distributors and in a blink, all of my hard work was down the drain. Angry and disappointed are not how I want to spend my life! I want to be affiliated with a company that is here to stay.
Lastly, I don’t have to worry about disappointing my customers with my products. I am not going to sit here and tell you that I have never had a customer that was not happy with their order – wrong color makeup, didn’t like the shoes, etc. What I am saying is that Avon has a 100% satisfaction guarantee. No questions asked. No fine print saying they only take back orders placed on the third Tuesday of the week or any other ridiculous policy. In a world where business practices are questioned every day, you cannot imagine the peace of mind knowing this gives me. I don’t have to worry about my friends or family wasting their money on something they cannot use.
So, now you know some of the reasons that the Avon opportunity appealed to me. The fact that the start-up cost is so cheap in the USA is another great point to mention but I have said enough about why I love Avon and why I have chosen to be a representative.
Why don’t you take a look at my online store and see what Avon has to offer? You won’t believe how much money you can save on your personal care and make up products. The anti-aging Anew skin care is the best I have ever used and I have bought some pricey items in the past from high end department stores. If you decide to try some products, you’ll receive free shipping on your order if the current minimum order requirement is met. (Avon posts free shipping codes on the site.)
And remember, if you have a questions, contact me. After all, personal service is what we Avon Ladies are all about.
