Answer 1

Pin some of your catalogues up on bulletin boards at the local grocery stores, public community boards and in your building if you live in an apartment complex.

Put a small ad in the newspaper.

Rent a table at flea markets etc. and display your new products.

Hold an open house Avon party. ( advertise in paper and put ads on bulletin boards.)

Do home parties and give the host some free products for hosting it.

Print off some brochures emphasizing the specials and insert them in your neighbours mail boxes.

Word of mouth advertising by letting everyone know that you are selling the product and ask them to direct customers to you if they know anyone who is looking for Avon.

Put small ads in the paper that state little known facts about products like the fact that skin so soft wards off mosquitoes, etc. Use facts that appeal to people like it's non toxic and safe to use on children, etc. Change the information periodically.

Hold makeup demonstrations in nursing homes, at fund raising sales or trade shows.

Offer a discount to repeat customers or those who buy several products at one time.

When you have guests over always make sure to leave a catalogue on the coffee table so they can browse while you make the coffee.

Give your customers an extra copy of the catalogue to take to work with them or give to a neighbour or friend.

On special occasions give Avon as a gift. If the recipient likes the product they will probably want to purchase more.

About a week before you send in your next order make follow up calls to your customers to ask them if they were happy with the products they bought and mention that you wanted to check on whether they needed anything before you put in your next order.

Make sure to deliver the products promptly to your customers when they arrive and slip the latest catalogue or a printed sheet listing new products or specials, as well as some small free samples of new products into the bag with their order.

A small gesture like sending Xmas cards to all of your regular
customers lets them know that you appreciate their business.

Have you tried going to businesses where women work, I got a few that way yrs ago. Try leaving a couple of brochures at salons. By the way where are you located I'm thinking about going back to using Avon again. I'm in Texas.

ask dentists, doctors, etc. if you can leave a pile of books in their offices,
have hubby take some to work w/ him
go to the park w/ your kids, talk to the moms there
