AVON Networking, Advertising, Marketing.

AVON gives Representatives all the support and tools they need to run our businesses. One of those tools includes our Sales Meetings. They usually occur on a monthly basis and are fabulous ways to do the following:

1. Increase product knowledge
2. Preview new items in person that are coming out in future campaigns
3. Networking with other AVON Representatives

Out of all of these, I think that the most important is being able to gain experience from others in the room. Networking keeps you motivated about your business. Make no mistake...if you're an AVON Representative, you are in sales and you have one main goal and that is to earn money. If you treat it as a business, you'll do that. If you treat it as a hobby , then you'll make some money, just not a lot.

Attending the Sales Meeting allows you to expand your knowledge from things that others before you have tried and completed successfully yet gives you the opportunity to implement the idea utilizing your personality and skills. The free gifts, samples, and recognition offered at the sales meetings for those attending help too!

Think about it for a second. Networking occurs in all types of settings as does Advertising/Marketing. It even occurs when you're out to lunch or having coffee with a friend. How many times have you complimented someone on a lipstick shade or their skin? When such a situation arises, your conversational partner will inevitably share which product they're using.

The same is true when you converse with other business owners. When you have a conversation and exchange business successes, both parties learn at least one thing that is valuable and might be a usable piece of information which you can apply to the running of your AVON business.

One thing that I've always known from Direct Marketing. It is one of the first things I ever learned...

"If you want to be successful in your business, you should surround yourself with others who are successful."

When Is It Time to Replace Your Bra?

It's ok to have a favorite blouse or t-shirt to wear, but when it comes to what you wear under it, older & comfy is not better. Wearing a stretched out piece of elastic as a bra just doesn't cut it. Not for long-term comfort or for a fashionable fit.

Here are the four telltale signs that your bra needs replaced:

1. The Color Has Changed. Your white bra is looking grey and discolored. The nude, black and other colors have faded.
   
   
2. The Fabric Is Stretched Out. The band doesn't feel tight enough and rides up in the back. No matter how hard you try to adjust them, the straps keep slipping off your shoulders. You're not getting the support you need.
   
   
3. The Fabric Looks Worn. Threadbare fabric increases your risk of show-through and the underwires might start to poke through, too.
   
   
4. It's Too Tight or Too Loose. Don't blame the bra. Your body has changed. For better or worse, it's time for a new bra. Find the right size using AVON's easy fit guide
   

AVON's easy fit guide is comprised of three easy steps:

1. While wearing a bra and with a tape measure, start by measuring firmly around the rib cage at the bra line. The tape measure should be horizontal around the body, not drooping in the back. Round up to the closest whole number. Add 4 inches to that measurement and round up to the next even number. For instance, if you measure 35 inches, add 4 inches (now 39) and round up to the next even number: 40. Your band size is 40.
   
   
2. Next, hold the tape measure firmly around the fullest part of the bust. Make sure the tape measure is taut and straight. Round up or down to the closest whole number. This is the bust size measurement.
   
   
3. Note the difference between your band size(Step1) and the second measurement. Use the following as a guide to finding your cup size: If your bust measurement is up to 1/2" larger than your band size, your cup size is AA. A difference of 1" indicates an A cup, 2" is a B cup, 3" is a C cup, 4" is a D cup, 5" is a DD or E cup, and 6" is a DDD or F cup. Follow this guide, but always try on a range of sizes above and below your measurement to ensure a good fit.

AVON Customer Favorites Promotion

Even with all the methods of advertising available today, word of mouth advertising is still the best way to encourage a new customer to use your product. Want to know why this is? Well, it's simple. Each and every person markets their favorite products without even realizing they're doing so! Here's an example:

You're out to lunch with the girls and one of them comments on something you're wearing, whether it be an article of clothing, a piece of jewelry, or your lipcolor. Your immediate response is, of course, to thank the person for their compliment and mention from where the item was purchased.

Or, imagine being told that you look significantly younger than you are! Recently, June 14th to be exact, my husband and I renewed our wedding vows. I have no recollection of how the topic arose, yet a guest who didn't know us personally but was brought by an invited guest, indicated that they put my age about 33! Well, maybe on the day I married my husband 10 years ago! I'm sure you can imagine my reply about our Avon Skin Care Products! Though I do concede that genetics, environment, and health play a part in how good our skin looks, you have to admit that it doesn't hurt to help mother nature along a little! Having a good skin care regime with quality products is important and much easier on the budget than expensive medical or dermatological procedures.

Next time someone compliments you about your skin or something your wearing that's AVON, don't be shy! Speak up and make sure you share my name or even your brochure with them. You'll not go away empty handed, either. You'll earn a 15% Avon Funny Money Coupon for each referral.

Announcing my Customer Favorites Promotion! Have you got a favorite AVON product that you just can't get enough of? You can email me the product name, why you love it and your results during Campaign 16 and if yours is chosen to be published on my blog as a "Customer Highlight", you'll receive an AVON Funny Money Coupon for 20% off your next purchase of that product!

Thanks for reading!

A Great Start to Your Skin Care Routine

Hello Customers & Readers who I hope will become customers! :)

When a company has been around as long as AVON, new products are constantly being researched and developed. Choosing skin care products can be kind of daunting because there are so many available on the market. Of one thing you can be sure, AVON almost always brings new products to market first and competitors soon follow with their version. A perfect example of this is when in 1992, AVON introduced the ANEW line of products, the very first products on the market containing alpha hydroxy. Alpha-hydroxy is a chemical by-product from fruit and milk sugars. Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are used in skin care products to exfoliate dead skin cells and encourage them to produce more collagen.

AVON understands that every woman's skin is different and that each of us are concerned about the various ways our skin chooses to show signs of aging. For example, I have a few wrinkles, and at this point, I'm more concerned about my skin tone and firmness. I encourage each of you to take the Skin Care Assessment found in the posting "Skin Care - Start Fresh!"

AVON makes choosing the right products for your skin care concerns simple. Each ANEW line is packaged in a different color. Blue for first signs of aging, brown for moderate signs, and gold for advanced. Depending on which skin care concern is most important to you, it is possible that you'd could be using a product from each grouping. That's the beauty of AVON skin care. Since we don't all age at the same rate and even our skin doesn't age the same in areas at a similar rate, AVON gave us the freedom to customize our perfect skin care routine for our skin!

I'm really excited about the newest products that have joined the ANEW line. AVON recently introduced a cleanser that is specific to each product grouping. Right now, it's on sale at an introductory price of $11.99!
