Added ideas... 03/31/06
From Shelbi Pasquale
I sent out 90 postcards a couple of days ago, have had two calls and one $60 order. Not too bad...
From Jenn Rimer
I joined a group called mom pack (www.mompack.com). They are a great way to network and get your name and business out to other areas.
From Kathy Edge
1. Make flyers with your information and website on them and put them everywhere.
2. Go to the search bar of your browser and put in free classifieds and advertise for free.
3. Put all of your information on as many books you can get out to people.
4. Purchase or make your own business cards and pass them out to everyone.
5. Leave your info in doctor's offices, grocery stores, tanning salons, hair salons, church, post offices, schools, bathrooms of Wal-Mart, mall, shopping centers.
6. Leave a brochure or business card at restaurants when you pay a tip or before you leave the table.
7. Leave a brochure or business card at the bank.
8. Power of 3 - talk to 3 people (more if possible) everyday about AVON buying or selling.
9. Make a sign to put in your car window or purchase magnetic car signs.
10. Tailgating and Canvassing neighborhoods are always good ways to get your name out there.
From Jodi Dalton
1. Order extra catalogs and leave them door to door. I find that leaving 25-30 catalogs usually brings in 2 to 3 new customers.
2. Try to network with a group and/or business. I offer 10% back (charitable contributions) to my daughter's PTO whenever someone from this group orders. Several of the moms take catalogs to work and their coworkers order - and PTO gets 10% of the order (before tax, etc). Therefore the PTO is making some money without having to work too hard, and I'm reaching new clients.
I am trying to take my business to a higher level and will be asking my clients how I can better service them. I feel that if I can form a solid relationship with existing customers - they would feel comfortable sharing the names of their family and friends that would like great service and great AVON products. Good luck.
From Crystal Dant
I place a notice in my books stating Benefits With Crystal Dant-then I list all the benefits they receive as my customer, bday %, ref %, etc.
I received a LOT of hits on my website when I put a numbered sticker in my books stating go to my website to see if your number is a winner. I gave out full size Naturals shower gels that were in the whats new once for $1.00.
I found a grocery store that lets me put out all the brochures I want. I went from giving out 30 brochures to 230. My sales went from $400 to $650 to 2 camps at $1000 and camp 7 $800.
From Emily Goss
I also hand out Business cards (try Vista Print...they do a GREAT job and are much more economical)
I did purchase a Bumper Banner...this has gotten me a few calls as well!
I am not too well about just going up to strangers and talking, but I am getting better at it!! It just takes inner confidence and what you set your mind to!
You can create a wonderful advertising advantage on your own, without the hassle of going into debt with the things you may already have around your home!!---this works well if you have small children and have ample crafting supplies...
From Debra Conness
Perserve everyone! Because if something isn't going right, and believe me, name it, it has happened to me! Doesn't mean you can't grow this business. It is the wonderful people here sharing their ideas that help the rest of us that are clueless! Plus ask your District Managers! Mine has been a rock! They can go out and show you the do's and don't's!
From Emma Alden
So far all my customers are at work and I have started to place flyers around my town. My daughter 15 has also told teachers that her mom is selling and has given her friends the Mark book.
From Sandy Saglam
I had put a brochure in the magazine rack of the check-out isle in our local supermarket, and the next day I got a call and an order of over $200!! From one person alone. (plus , it turned out to be my neighbor!!)
