The Avon Lady
The well known Avon lady has been around for decades. Starting out doing door-to-door sales in your neighbourhood. I always associated Avon with my grandparents’s generation. My grandmothers would always buy the lipsticks, those talc powders you spread on your bed before you go to sleep. Don’t forget the Skin-So-Soft brand of bath oils. They would be great in the summer as a mosquito repellent. Haha those were the days. My mom recently became a representative. She was looking for something part-time to do. The more I looked into it myself, the more I thought, “hey I could do this.”
Avon as a company has changed a lot. They still have their staple brands but at the same time, they have kept up with the times. I’m sure they had to or else they would not be in business anymore. They have a wide array of beauty products. Makeup for many different skin colours. As a black woman, I had concern about that but they proved me wrong. I was impressed. Avon also has well known celebrity spokespersons to represent them. Right now it is Reese Witherspoon. She has a perfume called In Bloom. I smelled it last night at an Avon meeting and it’s very floral but not too overwhelming. This being the holiday shopping season, there are so many items to choose from. The 3 packs of dip are scrumptious. They sell clothes, shoes, jewelry and accessories. Products for dogs too. A line named Mark is great for teenage girls and young women in their twenties. I was looking at everything the other night and thinking if there are so many products that I would buy myself then I’m sure a lot more people like me are out there. I’m pushing thirty myself. In my opinion there is something for everyone.
I’m really excited about getting my own business going. Who would of thought I would be an Avon lady? The best part is that Avon is online now! So I can send my clients from all over the world an e-brochure and they can shop through me. I made a YouTube channel where I’m going to be posting videos of the products I use from Avon or new promotions. So you can always keep up to date with me that way too. http://YouTube.com/melanie4avon .
