Direct Selling Is A Real Income Stream

This is from Wall Street Journal, and explains why direct selling is becoming more popular as well as things to look out for when choosing a direct sales company.
  • Avon has reliable products that have been loved by consumers for many decades.
  • Avon is an established company; in fact the first direct sales beauty company in the US!
  • Avon has a low upfront investment of $15 and you no not have to buy inventory.
  • Avon allows success through product sales in person or online, not just through recruiting.

Reasons You Should Join AVON

  • New Representatives will get individual support, including new representative tips, assistance navigating youravon.com, sales support, social media networking, business programs and marketing help.
  • All Representatives will continue to get personal support from me, updates, and assistance to boost their beauty business.
  • You Make The Rules. Full time, part time, from home, online or in person. You decide how far you want to take your beauty business. You decide your personal success.
  • You Don't Have To Carry Inventory. This was a huge point for me when I started. There are many direct selling companies that want you to purchase inventory to resell to customers. To me, that just didn't make good business sense, unless I was stocking that inventory in a retail store. I cannot predict what customers will want, the inventory changes frequently, and I didn't want to invest that much of my personal money to start. The startup for AVON is only $15, which provides resources, samples and an initial batch of brochures to get you started. Each campaign, the only thing you need to invest in is the current brochures.
  • Excellent Brand. AVON is a well known brand, has a long history of being an American beauty company and the product catalog is amazing in depth and breadth.

When I wanted to start direct selling beauty products and create my own beauty business, I Googled things like "start home business" and "sell makeup". Unfortunately, I wasn't able to join a team. When I self appointed, I didn't know the person I signed up underneath. I still have not communicated with that person at all.*  I want to make sure that does not happen to anyone who is interested in selling AVON or making their own beauty business! I want to make sure you have someone that will support you, help you grow your business, and give you the tools and resources you need to be successful.

*However, I earned 3 out of 4 Just For Us rewards in my first 4 campaigns, started my social media marketing, developed my blog and began making sales all on my own. Part of my success is due to the fact that I have a Masters degree in Marketing. I want to share my marketing knowledge with my AVON team!
