AVON - Then and Now.

AVON – Then and NOW.

I’ve just become an Avon Representative for the 2nd time in my life.Β Β  The first time was 22 years ago.Β Β  I rememberΒ how a neighbor gave me a sample fragrance, called Imari.Β  I thought it smelled great, but when I started getting compliments on it every time I wore it, I knew it was for me.Β Β  So back then I became a rep primarily to get the discounts for the products I bought for myself.Β Β Β It wasΒ the early β€˜90s, and I had to drive about a mile to drop off my manually-written orders every 2 weeks.Β Β  After the products were delivered, I contacted my customers and scheduled aΒ time to drop off their products and collect payments.Β  This became a duty that was hard to maintain with a full-time job, so I stopped.

A few weeks ago someone in my neighborhood asked if anyone in our community sold AVON.Β  They needed to re-order some AVON products they liked.Β Β  When no one else spoke up, I thought β€œHere’s a great way that I can help others and possibly earn some extra money for Christmas.”  So, I signed up under a local sales manager who lives in Roswell.Β Β  She’s been an AVON rep for 17 years.Β Β  Β Β Β

I can’t believe how easy it is to be an AVON representative in today’s world!Β Β  With computers, everything is online and much easier to order and share with friends and family.Β Β  I shared my online website (www.youravon.com/bridgemill) with friends and family in other cities.Β Β  TheyΒ order what they need and the productsΒ are shipped directly to their home.Β Β  I still offer the printed Avon catalog to local neighbors and friends.Β Β  Β 

Why do I like AVON so much?Β  Β Well, if you’ve ever tried Avon products, you know about their quality and value.Β  They still offer my favorite fragrance, Imari and other classics, but there are many new fragrances as well.Β Β  Avon’s Anew anti-aging creams and Skin-So-Soft products are highly rated.Β Β Β  Avon also offers designer jewelry, clothing, and great gifts for men, women, and children.Β Β Β  There’s something for everyone on your gift list.Β  Β Β IΒ wish I had done this sooner!Β Β
