I recently set up a Facebook page  because as an Avon Distributor -and many more like me- I would have some stock in the office including ex demo items and older stock no longer in the brochure. I have a big team and was getting requests from my Representatives asking for some of their favourites that had been discontinued. Sometimes I could help but more often I was asking fellow Distributors if they had what I needed. I had seen the same pages on Facebook for the UK and US so decided to set up an Irish one.
You can get in touch by finding me on Facebook at Avon Ireland Discontinued Stock Finder and posting up what item you the need or use the Contact button on the page.  Our story has been featured on the popular blogging site Anita's Beauty Blog

Tiny Tillia by AVON is a world of charming new baby products.

Tiffany Lerman founded the company in 2006.
She is the daughter of best-selling author Jackie Collins.
Having struggled to find a bath and body line that was not only safe and effective but a pleasure to use, she decided to use her imagination and create something entirely unique and invented Tiny Tillia.

There's even a cast of lovable characters like Dilly Pig and Duncan Dog.

This new range of products is sure to delight all our customers and boost sales in the busy Christmas period.

For Representatives it is also a great way to boost your earnings, why not plan an AVON party featuring the Tiny Tillia range?

Invite all your friends, mums, aunties, grandmothers or as many people you can find, If you have any friends who are expecting a baby -have a 'Baby Shower'.
This could be a great experience to show the range to many more people and a good opportunity to purchase a gift for the expectant mother. 

I will have a some of the products available in the Christmas Party Kit and anyone who wishes to host or have parties during the 4th quarter should email avoncarlow@gmail.com or call 087 6443961 to pre-book their party dates now.


 

This is probably something that an Avon Representative asks themselves from time to time. It's something that I am asked nearly everyday.
 
The first thing I recommend is – Always Carry A Brochure

How many times have you ran into someone you haven't seen for years. They ask you what you do and you tell them the you sell AVON.

'Great, I haven't seen a book in ages, can I have one?'
'No, sorry, they're at home'
You have missed the opportunity for a potential new customer.

Your brochures are your shop window, if they are at home on the kitchen table, then your shop is shut. Keep a box in your car, with brochures and order forms all labelled and ready to go.  Always 'BE PREPARED'!

Next, make your list of your Current Customers. Could some of them take a brochure to their workplace for you?  You could offer them a discount of their own order or buy them a 'Thank You' gift from your Representative magazine.

When I ask people to write their 'Who Do You Know' list on our first appointment, sometimes they’ll only write down 6 or 7 names. That is, until I ask them to take out their mobile phones and start looking through their contacts! Everybody you know is in your mobile phone. Write everyone down and identify the people who you could give a brochure to. Most people know hundreds of people! 

Know your Products
Brush up on your knowledge, what are the current best sellers?
What Skincare should your customer use?
Your Representative magazine or your Business Developer is where you will find all this information 

Know your Target Market 
Your customers are mostly women. So target areas where groups of women will be.  Gyms, Creches, Schools, Ladies Clubs, Doctors even the local weight loss classes. It is easier to find 10 customers in these places than going door to door in your neighbourhood.
 
 

It's FREE!
There are no upfront costs when joining AVON in Ireland - it’s FREE to try. 

Ireland seems to be the only country in the AVON world that gives FREE brochures to our Representatives.

We offer FREE deliveries too!

These brochures are your Shop Window so in return we expect that you share them with your family & freinds.

Remember if your brochures are at home - your shop is shut!

 If you’re ready to get started as an AVON Representative fill out our application form and I will be in touch with you shortly.
