Earn While on Vacation

Here’s how to keep your summer sales hot.

Summer vacation plans are about to take shape. But just because you and your Customers might take time off this summer, your business doesn’t have to. Plan now to keep your Avon sales working for you.

Here are some tips:

·       Start a tradition that promotes your own warm weather sales incentives. Got Customers with summer birthdays or special anniversaries coming up? Motivate them to purchase from you with seasonal specials and use these incentives to advertise your business as the summertime place to shop.

• Create opportunities now that can pay off big later. Retailers know summer is prime-time clearance season. The same goes for Avon. Start talking up our annual Summer Makeup Sale, so Customers will be prepared for our upcomeing campaigns. Many Customers wait for this annual opportunity to get the most value and lowest prices on beauty, in addition to jewelry, apparel and more.
• Increase your visibility. “What some people consider a slow season is a time of fresh opportunity for me,” says Susan Bratton of Columbia, South Carolina. “Order extra brochures to give to people in the park and other outdoor public places. Include your business card and a FREE product sample.”
• Stay in touch electronically. If you’re not an eRepresentative already, look into how yourAVON.com can add ease to managing your business. It can be a breeze for Customers to view brochure specials online, and for you to place orders online anytime, any place. Plus, you can set up eCards and other electronic reminders ahead of time, to automatically send to Customers while you’re away.

Put these plans into action, and make your summer sales sizzle!
