Why do I love AVON?

Avon has changed a lot since David H. McConnell founded this company back in 1886.  Mr. McConnell started the California Perfume Co. not far from where I live.  Avon ladies used to go door to door, Ding Dong, Avon calling!  The ladies would bring their products into your home and make their sales.  It wasn't unusual to have a close bond with your Avon lady.  While I don't go door to door,  I want to provide you with an excellent experience, complete with your satisfaction!  Avon products are 100% guaranteed, which means if you don't like something that you purchased, you can return it or exchange it for something different!  It doesn't matter if the color is off or something doesn't fit properly, or it just doesn't meet your expectations, your satisfaction is guaranteed.

I want to bring Avon's products into your home.  Avon is for women (and men) of all ages.  There truly is something for everyone!!  If you haven't seen a brochure recently, now is the time to check out what is available.  I am sure that you will be pleasantly surprised with our collection of skincare, fragrances, personal care, cosmetics, and our wonderful gift items.

I am a President's Club member and a Beauty Advisor, which gives me a wealth of knowledge about skincare, fragrance and cosmetics.  Feel free to test my knowledge!  If I can't answer a question for you, I will find the answer.  As an Independent Sales Representative, I have access to many different samples and trial sizes.  If you want to try an item that we don't have a sample of, I can let you try the full size product on a trial basis.  This is a great way to find out if your sensitive skin will react to the product.  If you don't like the product after the trial period, you can return it and owe nothing.

As a stay at home mom of 2 active school aged boys, I love the flexibility that selling Avon has provided me.  I create my own hours and work when I want to work.  Since there are no sales quotas to meet, there is no pressure to sell. Being an Avon representative is a lot of hard work, but always rewarding.

If you want to buy or sell, contact me today!

I look forward to hearing from you!
