Create Your Own Bundles

Ofter times Avon will create opportunities for your customer to order multiple items at the same time, but why wait for these sales.  You could offer your special discounts to anyone who orders multiples of certain items such as lotions, shower gels, or bubble bath.  You can accomplish this by either just taking the hit in order to increase your sales, or you could stock up on the products when they are on sale and offering your customers a special price when they are not on sale.


You can also create your own gift sets, which is great especially for holidays and birthdays. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Place one each of a chosen scent of the Naturals lotion, shower gel, and body spray in a Drawstring Beauty Bundle Bag (289294) with some tissue paper.
• Create a look and sell it as a bundle.  Pair an eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, blush, and lipstick.  I would suggest modeling the look yourself, taking a picture, and then creating a flyer. 
• Around the holidays we often get lotions, chap-sticks and shower gels wrapped with the holiday theme, why not up these together.

Have any other suggestions of bundles you create?  Why not share them in the comments section.

Do You Self-Promote?

Don’t forget that you should be talking about your business all the time, everywhere, everyday!


Many Leaders say that often times someone in their downline will call and say, "I have no sales!"  When you ask them what have you been doing to promote your business, 9 times out of 10 your conversation will sound very similar to this:

“Well, I talked to my mom and her friends and I have gotten nothing.”
“What else have you done to promote yourself?”
“Well, I pass out books but nothing happens!”

And there in lies the problem… I pass out books and nothing happens.

Ok, do you get the person's phone number and call them and ASK them for an order? Do you call them and just leave a reminder, “Hey my order is going in this weekend in case you need something!” Do you order extra books and pass them out like water? Do you make flyers and mail them out to everyone you know? Do you TREAT your business like a business?

Honestly, most of the time the answer is no. The most self defeating thing in our business is our self!!

I will say it again.

The most self defeating thing in our business is our self!

Why? Because we are afraid to promote OURSELVES!

I have seen Avon Reps cringe at the thought of talking to a stranger.  I have seen ladies hang their head and mumble while trying to push a book into someone’s hands. Would I order from someone like that?

Probably NOT!


Be proud of your business! If you truly love your business, why are you ashamed to talk about it and shout it to anyone who will listen???

Stand up and say “I sell AVON and I LOVE my job!” Wear pins, carry books and business cards with you everywhere! Put stickers on your car, signs on your lawn, notices or biz cards in your mail, talk to the other moms you know, network locally, and tell the world! You don’t have to be pushy or tacky about it, but you also don't have a neon sign above your head that says you sell AVON.  So if you don’t promote it, who will?

Take a hard look at your business and how you act with it and see what you can do to improve yourself and your attitude about it. Everyday, work on improving your business visibility in your community and with other people, your potential customers. And remember, customer service and consistency is key! Then, watch your sales rise!
