Have an Avon Party!

When I became an Avon Independent Sales Representative I knew the fastest way to get sales in my first campaign was to have an Avon party. So, I ordered products, samples, brochures and flyer's. I only spent about $65.

I picked the products that I needed at the time like the Advanced Techniques 2-in-1 Anti-Dandruff shampoo and conditioner that I bought for my husband. I also purchased the Advanced Techniques Color Reviving shampoo and conditioner that I purchased for myself.

I also bought the Avon Solutions Bust Sculpted contouring cream and the Avon Solutions Super Shape anti-cellulite and stretch mark cream for myself because after having 3 babies I ended up having some problem areas.

I was running low on perfume, and I noticed the Haiku perfume from the brochure sample, and I really liked the smell. Plus, Avon had a special going on where when you purchase the 1.7 fl. oz. Haiku perfume you can choose 2 out of 3 other Haiku products free. So I choose the Haiku Pearlized shower gel 6.7 oz. a $10 value and the Haiku Shimmering body powder 1.4 oz. net wt. a $5.50 value.

I saw an ad for the Big Beautiful Deal where you get the Blot Away Oil Sheets 50 in a pack $3.99 value, Ergonomic Tweezer $5 value, Wash Off Water Proof Mascara .21 oz net wt. Black a $6.50 value, Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover Lotion 2 fl. oz. a $4 value and the Glimmer-stick Water-Proof Eye Liner .01 oz. net wt. Blackest Night a $6 value all 5 great products for only $10. I just couldn't pass that deal up!

My little sister wanted to try some of the Mark Girl products so I bought the Mark Self Sanctuary honey jasmine shower wash and the Mark Self Sanctuary honey jasmine dry oil mist. Plus, I purchased the Mark Hook Ups one of the most popular Mark products they had a deal when buy 2 hook ups you get 1 connector free so I got the Gleam Stick flirtatious creamy lip color and the Wink Stick heartfelt eye shadow stick.

I love mineral makeup so I got the Ideal Shade mineral glow powder which was on sell for only $1.99.

Samples are essential for any sales person. Customers would rather try out the product first before they buy it. So I purchased 5 liquid sample packs of 5 of the Bond Girl 007 parfum knowing that the new James Bond feature film Quantum of Solace will becoming in November. Plus when a customer orders the Bond Girl 007 parfum they receive one movie pass for the up coming James Bond film Quantum of Solace.

I also purchased the 5 packs of 5 Derek Jeter #1 award-winning fragrance Life Without Limits liquid samples because men love Avon also.

I also bought samples of the NewAge age transformation Color Compact Makeup and Avon Magic face protector lotion.

I love facial masks they remind of when I was a kid and I would have sleep overs and slumber parties and all of us girls would put on makeup and then wash it off and put on the facial mask. Those were the good days. That would be so fun. So I saw that Avon had the Avon Solutions Hydro-Firming Drench recovery mask and the Avon Solutions Hydra-Radiance rapid rescue mask. So, I got some of those they were like 2 for .99 cents.

I needed brochures, flyer's, cards and magalogs so I got 50 English Avon campaign 23 brochures, 10 Spanish Avon campaign 23 brochures, 20 Mark Girl magalogs, 50 English Inspirational Treasures flyer's, 20 Spanish Inspirational Treasures flyer's, 20 Beauty on a Budget mini brochures, 20 Hello Tomorrow recruiting cards, 10 Avon Outlet mini brochures and a couple Avon Chase credit card applications.

I also made sure that I had the Rich and Famous of Avon Women in the Spot Light DVD.

I made a couple vege trays, mini subs trays, and desert tray with cookies and brownies. I already had the bottled water, sodas and coffee.

I invited my family, friends, neighbors, even my sons classmates parents. Not everyone came but most did. My Avon Party turned out great. We watched the Women in the Spot Light DVD, ate food, had some coffee and talked about Avon and their quality products. Everyone tried all of the Avon products and samples. Everyone took a brochure and a flyer. Some people even took some of the Hello Tomorrow recruiting cards.

All in all I spent about $65 to have my Avon Party but in return I made $243 in sales and recruited 3 people in my down-line. Plus, my family and friends who did not join Avon has referred their friends and people they meet, to me as Avon customers and even recruits. So I definitely think that the $65 I spent was way worth it.

I had an Avon Party and I loved it. I am more confident, made more money and have helped other people achieve their goals of living a better life.

Keep America Beautiful, Buy or Sell Avon!
