Recently, I became an Avon Representative. It’s not new to me as I used to be one before we moved house six years ago. I had my regular customers that I would visit in their homes and take brochures and orders. I got to know them well and we would often stop and chat for a while. One old lady I visited would always have a handful of sweets for my little girls.
I gave it up when I moved house, we moved into a building site and it didn’t seem like it would work at the time.
Starting Again.
Then a recruiting representative knocked on my door and asked if I would be interested. I told her I used to love it, but now I can’t go out alone because of my mobility issues. I wouldn’t be able to go door to door like I used to.
But, she convinced that it wouldn’t be a problem because I can do most of my selling online! Yes, I can get customers from anywhere at all in the UK and sell to them with the deliveries going direct to their door! So, I decided to give it a try.
I still have some local ladies, neighbours and relatives that I can sell to. But with the online option it means I can open my Avon shop up to anyone. As always, it’s a struggle to get going online. The Internet is huge and it’s hard to get seen. But I thought if I popped a few details here then maybe my lovely readers would be willing to share and maybe pop along themselves.
Facebook Avon
I have set up my own Facebook page especially for Avon.
AnneSweetAvon Facebook
Here you will find regular posts about products, including podcasts, news, beauty inspiration, and competitions. I’m currently running a give away where you can win a lipstick for yourself and your friend just by tagging someone in the post.
Instagram Avon
I also have an Instagram account which is also hosting a giveaway at the moment.
Plans
I’ve got lots of ideas for my Social Media accounts so I really hope that you will follow me.
I’m hoping to host online Avon parties with quick give aways and interaction. There will be loads of information on all things make-up, skincare, jewellery, clothing and household items.
And don’t forget, Christmas will be coming soon!
My online shop can be found here
Remember, you can order anywhere at all in the UK and it will be delivered directly to your door. There is usually a small fee for this but each month you can avoid the fees by ordering a certain amount or entering a code, so keep watch on my Facebook page for information on these.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for any sharing or purchasing or joining my Social Media sites.
Avon representatives are lovely people. My elderly mother had taken ill when the Avon lady called and she phoned me. Even though she was busy she sat with my mum until I arrived. It was about half an hour later as I live quite a few miles away. The funny thing was my brother, then working a night shift, was asleep upstairs and slept through the whole incident! My late mum had forgotten he was home (she was in her 90s at the time!).
I did not know you could order on line. I’m going to keep this in mind, especially running up to Christmas. #MMBC
Hi Anne, I have fond memories of our Avon lady coming to the house (every week if my memory serves me well). I also remember my first perfume being from Avon, it was a little glass bottle of sandalwood scented perfume and who doesn’t love Skin-So-Soft? The original, of course. I wish you luck in your new venture, which I’m sure you won’t need!
