Avon Tips for Selling Online

That's when I took the next step in my career by coming up with new Avon marketing ideas. I started taking brochures to different neighborhoods. I would either ring their doorbell and introduce myself or just hang a brochure on their door. I always had Avon brochures in my purse and I gave them out to everyone I would meet during my daily errands. Here are a few places I would hand out brochures. I would always ask if I could leave some brochures every campaign. Just think of businesses where people come and go often.

My number 1 tip for boosting your traditional sales is to put a sign in your yard. I put an Avon sign and a realtor's flyer box in my front yard. I filled the box with current brochures. It was amazing! I got so many people coming by to pick up a brochure. My customer base really grew! I even got new recruits from this. I believe I had this sign up for several years before someone in my neighborhood complained to the city. I was then required to take it down.

I also have very good success with the Avon decals I have on my vehicle. People will even stop me at the grocery store for an Avon catalog. I love when people come to me, instead of me hunting them down.

#1 Avon Online Selling Tip 

The first place to start when selling Avon online is to set up your social media profiles. If you don't know how to do this, do a Google search. You can find posts, images, and videos on almost anything you need on the internet. I would suggest you be consistent in your name or handle on all accounts. I didn't do that but I wish I would have. Read Avon's policies in choosing your name. Make sure you write a bio on each profile. Include your picture for a personal touch. The same color scheme would be great also. The social media that I use and suggest are:

• Facebook - personal page - fan page - business page - group
• Pinterest - business
• Twitter
• Google Plus
• Instagram
• Linkedin
• Tumblr

Set up your profile on youravon.com by going to Web Office - eStore - Personalization Tool. Make sure to include your phone number and/or address on the Personal Web Page, Find a Rep Tool Online, and Find a Rep Tool Phone. Also fill out your Interests and Why I love selling Avon section. When customers are looking for a rep, a list of representatives will come up. By having your city, phone number, Interests and Why I love Selling Avon filled out, customers will more likely call you than another.

My suggestion is to put a personal picture of yourself on your eStore. Go to Web Office - eStore - Edit your eStore. Also update your About Avon and Me section on your website. By doing both of these your online customers will feel like they know you personally.

Get on the first page of Google when people are looking for a local Avon Rep. Do an online search for Avon rep Loveland, Colorado. You should see my Google Business Page listing with my picture on the right side of the screen. Start your Avon Google Business page to get found online by people in your area.

Put labels on your brochures with your eStore web address and the current Avon coupon. The latest code is WELCOME10 where customers get 10% off any size online order. This code is only good for one time use. Don't forget to include your Avon eStore address on your business cards. Hand these out to everyone you see and hang them on business bulletin boards.

Share the Avon Social Media Center posts and videos on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and Google Plus. Don't post them all at once. Try to post them several times a day. You can also go to your Avon eStore and share the individual products by clicking on the icons below each image. Be creative with your descriptions. You can even do Facebook live or Youtube videos of product reviews. It's a good idea to sign up for a time-saving social media scheduler like Buffer. With this app you can schedule your posts to go out at different times daily. This is a free service for storing 10 posts in your queue at one time. The $10 a month paid version gives you extra social networks and 100 posts in the queue at a time.

Many of you have been asking about the eBook that I used back in 2010. The name of it is, Internet Marketing For Avon Representatives. It can be purchased on Amazon for $.99 for a Kindle. The great tip from this book was the special code that you could add to your blog. However, that code is no longer needed since all product urls now contain your specific estore information. Some information in this book is outdated but it still has some very good information in it. The author is a top Avon online seller today. Her and her husband helped me get started with lots of tips on how to market Avon online.

Starting an Avon blog is a great Avon selling secret. However, I must warn you that it takes a lot of hard consistent work. I have done tons of online research on this topic to get where I am. As a matter of fact, I still research because the Google algorithms change quite often. I have two Avon blogs, Beauty with Mary and Think Beauty Today. The first one is hosted by Blogger. It's easy and free. The second one is from Wordpress.com. I don't advise you to use the free wordpress.com version. The best version is wordpress.org where you pay for a hosting provider and manage your plugins and software updates. You can do an online search on how to set up a blog on either of these platforms. The ebook mentioned in #7 also gives help on setting up an Avon Blogger blog.

Here is a tip that you may already know about. Avon President's Council Member and Silver Ambassador, Dianne Hernandez, was asked by Avon to give a webinar on her suggestions for selling Avon online. She earned this top sales level by selling only online. If you haven't listened to this webinar, it is awesome. She truly is an amazing online marketer.
