Hopelessly Heather

The ramblings and obsessions of a longtime Avon lady

Holiday open houses are popular with both vendors and customers alike.  Customers love being able to physically experience vendor products, interact with the vendor and snatch up deals.  Vendors love customers coming to them for interaction and selling some of their extra inventory.  For an even more successful event, invite a few other vendors, provide some snacks, give away some door prizes and promote the event relentlessly.

Every year on Halloween our house receives between 200-300 trick-or-treaters. Last year I tried something new and I’m doing it again this year – handing out bombitas! If you are unfamiliar with what a bombita is, it’s simply a goody bag.

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.
