The ramblings and obsessions of a longtime Avon lady

If you follow me at all, you’ve noticed that I post a lot of selfies showing off Avon products. Why? This is one of the best marketing tools out there. Most customers (especially eCustomers) crave a personal relationship with their Avon lady – and this is one virtual way to help with that! Not only will the selfie be a testimonial/review of whatever product you are showing off, but your customers will see YOU using the product. Seeing your face regularly will help customers trust you and want to order from you.

Building a team is something I’m relatively new at. For the longest time, I focused ALL of my attention on building up my Avon customer base and becoming the best Avon lady I could be. That suited me just fine for a long time but the more your customer base grows, the more likely it will be that one or more of them will want to join your team.

A question that comes up A LOT is: I’m going to do my first event – what Avon products should I have for sale?

Avon has a ridiculously HUGE line of products that changes with every campaign – EVERY TWO WEEKS!  When you’re new to the bazaar world, it’s next to impossible to anticipate which products among hundreds (if not thousands) will be the best sellers.

First things first, I never paint my fingernails.  I am rough on my hands and my  fingernails are just plain woeful.  There is absolutely no need to draw any kind of attention to my jacked up fingernails. 

On the flip side, I love having painted toenails; however, my feet are pretty disgusting.  I power walk and run, so my feet are constantly sporting blisters in various states of healing and the calluses should be named.  To deal with my feet, I have found several things that can make them appear party ready…at least until the party is over!
