#ShopSmall but … Is Avon a legitimate direct sales company or a pyramid scheme?

Small Business Saturday® is Coming!

I am part of the Shop Small Movement! I’m proud to be part of this annual event to encourage holiday shoppers to shop my local, small New Jersey business…

I am here to also introduce direct selling as a way to discover the freedoms of owning your own small business. I’ve been a successful direct seller for over 13 years and have built a nice side-gig that yields me additional income!

Making Money from Home

Unfortunately the industry has been tarnished by unscrupulous people promoting fraudulent and unsustainable sales pitches luring unsuspecting people while taking their hard-earned money. If you are looking for an opportunity to work from home and have heard the pitches about earning bigs dollars, I’m here to tell you…first, it can be hard to distinguish the real work-at-home businesses; second, any “get rich quick” or “easy money” pitch should be viewed with caution; and third, don’t forget to do thorough research and ask important questions BEFORE you get involved in any business opportunity.

What is a Pyramid Scheme?

Pyramid schemes are illegal and fraudulent systems where making money is more centered around recruiting and signing up other people than selling products. Since there are only a limited number of people in a given community, most people will never make money. Steer clear of these type of potential scammers!

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, works to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace. I encourage educating yourself by reading the FTCs – Multi-Level Marketing Businesses and Pyramid Schemes. Another United States federal government agency, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), works to protect investors and the securities markets, and facilitate capital formation. More information can learned by reading the SECs – Beware of Pyramid Schemes Posing as Multi-Level Marketing Programs.

What I Know

The Avon Company is the leading social selling beauty company in North America, with independent sales Representatives throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Avon’s product portfolio includes award-winning skin care, color cosmetics, fragrance and personal care products, featuring iconic brands such as ANEW, Skin So Soft, belif, CHI, and The Face Shop, as well as home essentials, fashion and accessories. Avon has a 135-year history of empowering women through economic opportunity, and supporting the causes that matter most to women. Avon philanthropy has contributed over $800 million to breast cancer and other important causes. Avon is a proud member of the Direct Selling Association (DSA) and strongly supports their CODE OF ETHICS. The DSA’s Code of Ethics is a robust series of policies that every DSA member agrees to follow as a condition of membership. It holds member companies accountable for policies that protect independent salespeople and consumers and encourages the entire marketplace for direct selling to meet these high standards.

In an attempt to be fair and transparent, here is what I know about Avon’s business principles:

The Avon business model does not rely on nor does it encourage sales of inventory, training or business support materials between Representatives. The core of our business model is Representatives selling our products to an end consumer. A representative’s compensation is tied to their sales. As sales level increase, commissions may increase. Representatives set their own hours as well as their sales goals, and their commissions are based on product sales.
Avon has reasonable return policies. Representatives are not left holding excess inventory. Avon offers its customers 45 days from the date of purchase to return their product to their Avon Representative. Avon allows a Representative 60 days from the date of purchase to return a product.
Avon limits earnings to three generations. The Avon Leadership opportunity offers rewards and bonuses for building your team and increasing sales. Avon offers opportunities and bonuses to expand Representative’s earnings potential. But Avon does not promise commissions on infinite sales but promotes and incentivize Representatives based on their own sales and their teams’ sales.

When I get questions about direct selling, I say to them: At its best, direct selling is “I tried the product. I liked the product. I recommend it to a friend.” If you are considering entering direct sales (or ‘social selling’) here are three tips to remember:

Like the product! Make sure it’s a product you use and enjoy yourself. You can be a beauty influencer, skin care expect, sharing and selling to friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers.
Understand the product. All good direct selling/social selling companies will provide training and mentoring support. But you should not need to invest heavily in start-up training and marketing materials. You are in control of how many hours you want to put into your business. Direct selling is for those who possess a strong work ethic and an entrepreneurial spirit.
Know who you are buying from and who is paying you. When ordering product for your customers, make sure you will be purchasing from the Company, not the individual who recruited you into selling. And that your earnings will be paid by the Company. Direct Selling companies that survive on recruiting new participants rather than retail sales are pyramid schemes.

My Story

I’ve always loved jewelry, cosmetics, and fashion. I have childhood memories of receiving gifts of Avon products from my godmother. I remember a classmates mother selling Avon to mine. I continued to buy Avon into adulthood through a friends’ wife and a local woman. When they stopped selling, I decided to sign up to be an Avon Independent Sales Representative for the discount and maybe even make a little extra money. Fast forward thirteen years and I have built a nice side-gig that yields additional income. I also lead the Passionately Avon Team of like-minded people that adds to this income. My success came with truly loving Avon products and the company. I enjoy helping others start their own Avon businesses and accomplish things they never thought possible.

Be an Avon Insider

Avon offers a Compensation Plan competitive to other direct selling companies. You get the ability to shop wholesale prices to help you run a successful beauty business. I’m looking for dedicated people interested in earning some extra money or getting their own Avon purchases at a discounted price. My successful team members are people who are self-motivated and have an entrepreneurial drive or mindset.

If you are interested in selling Avon’s award-winning beauty products, begin within minutes for $0 (or with one of our other sign-up options), earn 25% commission on $40+ beauty orders + unlock exclusive discounts, perks and more by going to https://bit.ly/31Qp7za. My Reference Code (nrago) links you to my team so I can coach you on the Avon tools and training to start with your own small business, included with the $0 enrollment fee! Our starter collection (currently a $30 investment) gives you an incredible set of favorite products in full and sample sizes plus product-packed brochures (catalogs) to share and help you get your beauty business started. The $0 sign-up or a contribution to the American Cancer Society* (ACS) will get you started with your own online store and digital tools, but do not include a starter collection, brochures or samples.

Connect with me so I can answer your questions or concerns, help with signing up as a representative, as well as give you tips on how to begin building your own beauty business!

@YouTube Video: Avon Gives Back to Feed the Children

Mar29

The Beauty of Giving

Since 2004, Avon has partnered with Feed the Children, an organization that works to improve nutrition, hygiene, and education in vulnerable communities around the world. Over the last seventeen years, Avon has donated over 17 million pounds of personal care, hygiene and beauty products, clothing, shoes, and home essentials to families in need. In that time, we’ve empowered and impacted nearly 1 million families and 4.4 million women and girls in the United States. The Feed the Children x Avon Box is delivered to women and their families year round and an emergency response to disasters. As a result of the delivery of this box, we hear stories of improved self-confidence and empowerment. This box really became critical to women and their families during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We’re on a Mission

Today, contributing to a variety of organizations is still at the core of Avon. The fight against breast cancer has become a huge pillar of Avon’s mission. Since 1992, Avon has contributed more than $800 million to breast cancer causes, educated 180 million women about this disease, and funded breast health screenings for nearly 20 million women. Avon Representatives have raised hundreds of millions of dollars through sales of special products and personal participation in walks, runs and other events. Avon has teamed up with the American Cancer Society to attack cancer from every angle. Join Avon in our fight against breast cancer because united, we can do more. Find a Local Event. Avon will contribute 15% of the sales prices of Pink Hope fundraising products to the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.* Shop the Cause.

Avon is also proud to partner with Gyrl Wonder, a professional pipeline initiative giving rise to ambitious young women of color between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two. Similar to Avon’s promoting and inspiring female entrepreneurship through the opportunity to build businesses for hundreds of thousands of Representatives, Gyrl Wonder equips the young woman who has found her passion with the toolkit necessary to turn her interests into a career.

Avon’s Woman-to-Woman Support

Unique to Avon is our network of Representatives combined with the company’s capacity to educate, engage and mobilize. By joining the Passionately Avon Team, you can help be part of the powerful grassroots movement that reaches across continents and time zones to raise awareness and funds for issues of health, safety and well-being that are important to women.

Avon designed fundraising programs so I can donate a percentage of sales from my store to an organization of my choice. As your Avon Fundraising Specialist, I can help put together an easy fund raiser with Avon for your worthy organizations and help you get a quick cash boost in as little as three weeks. I do not earn commission on these purchases. Fundraising is another way for me to support our Corporate Responsibility efforts. Avon is committed to making the world more beautiful through our products, our people, and our philanthropy.

*The American Cancer Society does not endorse any product or service.

How do I earn and get paid?

First off, you’ll get 25% off your own orders of $40+ of beauty products (that includes makeup, skin care, personal care, health and wellness and more) as an Avon Representative, and you’ll earn 25% commission on beauty orders of $40+ from customers.

Getting paid is simple. You’ll get most of your earnings — from your online store orders, bonuses, incentive pay-outs, account credits, etc. — paid quickly and easily through the Avon Wallet payment portal.

For orders you deliver, your commissions are based on the difference between the discounted amount you pay and the full price your customer pays you. For example, you sell a lipstick to a customer for $10.00. If your commission level is 40%, you pay Avon $6.00, plus tax, and the rest is your profit.

Am I required to be connected to a Leader/Mentor?

A Leader is a successful Avon Representative who will share their tips and guidance and give you extra support to help you succeed.

If you want to sign up to join the team of someone who invited you, just enter their name or referral code during your sign-up. If you don’t know their referral code and their name doesn’t come up, please reach out them to get their code.

If you don’t want to sign up under someone, no worries — it’s not required. Just leave the field blank.

How often do I have to place customer orders?

Order as often as you want, whenever you want! Our most successful Representatives place orders each campaign (every two weeks), as well as share their online store link for 24/7 sales and commissions. To keep your account active and to stay up-to-date, we suggest placing an order in each campaign.

The Opportunity to be an Independent Sales Representative has been part of the Avon Legacy since 1886.

Here’s Eight Great Reasons to Sign Up to Sell Avon

Avon Commissions & Sales Levels – Representatives buy products at a discounted rate. You get 25% off when you buy for yourself or earn a 25% commission on customer $40+ Beauty Orders. $40 Fashion & Home Product Orders get 20% commissions or discounts. So why pay retail when you can order your products at a wholesale price. You can yield money in your pocket when you sell customer orders at the retail price. New Representatives can earn up to $3,300 in commissions and bonuses by achieving all maximum sales targets in your first 8 campaigns. Plus you don’t have to place an order every campaign (every two weeks), but to keep your Representative Status Active you will need to place an order every sixth campaign (every twelve weeks). To remain Active, the order size doesn’t matter but your commissions or discounts are based on order size. Representatives get a free ecommerce website to sell online through and digital brochures to sell with. You also get a Rep dashboard for placing your face-to-face orders. Avon ships directly to you or your customers addresses.
Try New Products Before Everyone Else – Avon Reps can order product demos before they are available publicly. You get to try the newest skin care and fragrance products, and wear the latest clothes and jewelry pieces. People will notice them and you will be able to answer their questions. Customers love seeing the newest products and it helps with future sales. Use it to gain new customers as while pursuing business goals with Avon. Avon samples are another great way to try new products at a low cost. Samples are fun freebies to offer your loyal customers. I see samples as a win-win in direct selling. I have converted many customers to a full-size product sale after sharing a sample with them.
Rewards & Recognition – If your annual sales get to $5,000 you reach the Premier Sales Level and your commission/discounts get raised to 30% on Beauty Orders and 20% on Fashion and Home Orders. This is for every order, with no minimum. If you sell $10,000 in annual sales, you reach President’s Club Sales Level and earn 40% on Beauty and 25% on Fashion & Home Orders. This is the minimum you can earn and your commission can increase as you sell more. You have the opportunity to earn cool trips (Destination Avon to Dominican Republic in April 2021), earn cash bonuses and higher commissions as you hit your goals (Pathway to Premier show you how to earn $3,300 in your first four months), as well as move up and grow your business (earn bonuses and earnings when you join Avon Leadership and build a team).
Fundraising – You can partner with a worthy organization, cause or charity and help them raise money. Avon Fundraising is an easy and super-rewarding way to grow your business while you connect with your community. It can help you to reach new customers and boost your potential sales and earning levels. Depending on the structure, you may not get commissions off the orders but it will count towards your sales goals and discounts.
Avon Events & Conventions – There is nothing more fun than being together with your fellow Avon Ladies (and a few good Avon Men). Whether it’s a local or national event, in-person or virtual, Avon events offer previews to what’s coming up, tons of sales advice and tips from the experts, event-only product discounts, and even some prizes and giveaways. Some events are free or a low-cost with complimentary new products included with the registration fee.
Exclusive Offers to Active Representatives – Extra income is just the start when you become an Avon Representative! You’ll also have access to unreal benefits and extras. AVON PERKS is a portal of exclusive offers and discounts on local, grocery, major brands, travel plus exclusive Avon Offers. AVON REWARDS its sales reps with amazing gifts of your choice as you hit goals. FREE ONLINE COURSES for growth and professional development through our education partner. 24/7 TELEMEDICINE access to licensed doctors, affordable health insurance and health care discounts.
Avon’s Woman-to-Woman Support – Unique to Avon is our network of Representatives combined with our capacity to educate, engage and mobilize. Representatives make up a powerful grassroots movement that reaches across continents and time zones to raise awareness and funds for issues of health, safety and well-being that are important to women. Avon Representatives have raised hundreds of millions of dollars through sales of special products and personal participation in walks, runs and other events. Avon has contributed more than $800 million to breast cancer causes and funded nearly 20 million mammograms.
Be Part of the Passionately Avon Team – You can be part of my amazing and supportive team. You can sell online or face-to-face, strive to be a top seller or enjoy the Avon discount for your own purposes. I can support team members from anywhere in the United States, are no sales territories. I will mentor you and share my tips on how to build a beauty business. When I joined Avon, I made a personal commitment to give it three years. The first year was spent learning the business and trying many things. The second year I saw gains, and began to see what worked and what did not. And by the third year I could see that I was making money and enjoyed the business and my customers. Fast forward ten years and I have built a nice side-gig that yields additional income. I’m also leading a team of like-minded people that adds to this income. Success is generally not instant, it takes time and patience. Most importantly, it takes the willingness and dedication to try new things and stick it out.

The Buzz on Clean Beauty

Mar5

What is clean beauty?

Clean Beauty is defined by products that are mindfully created and produced with the health of our bodies and the environment in mind. Think of it as good for you…good for the environment!

Farm Rx is a vegan skin care collection with natural plant-based ingredients and clean formulas. You’ve heard of “Farm to Table,” so think of Farm Rx as Farm to Face for your skin care!

93% of consumers would like to purchase clean beauty products*

FARM RX + CLEAN BEAUTY

Farm Rx products are made with over 85% natural ingredients. As for the other 15%, they’re simply safe synthetic ingredients. Why synthetic? Shelf life! This means the product will last and feel fresh and effective every time you reach for it. (No one wants something like mold growing in their skin care…right?!)

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

Our cartons are responsibly sourced and certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). Bonus! The jars are also made from recyclable glass.

NO NASTIES

Farm Rx was formulated without over 2,000 ingredients—things like formaldehyde releasers, parabens, sulfates and microplastics. In addition to Farm Rx, you can also feel good about using all our products, since we use FDA-approved ingredients and our products are dermatologist-tested.

63% of consumers think clean beauty is a major factor in making purchasing decisions*

CLEAN BEAUTY PAYS!

Consumers are willing to pay more for peace of mind, safety and sustainability. This trend spans across generations, from Millennials to Boomers. Become an Independent Avon Representative and introduce Farm Rx to customers, talk about its clean beauty appeal—it really resonates with customers!

89% of consumers look at ingredient lists while shopping, and many are also researching those ingredients*

Who’s a Customer?

Farm Rx opens the door to so many customers at every age and stage of life.

How to Use a Beauty Blender in 4 Steps

Aug18

A flawless finish!

The Avon Pro Flawless Makeup Applicator features soft, suede-like texture which blends makeup seamlessly for a flawless finish. The unique shape of our makeup blender helps eliminate visible lines and streaks.

POINTED END: For hard to reach or delicate areas, such as under eyes, or near nose and mouth. WIDE, ROUNDED END: For overall face coverage and bend-ability.

TO USE

1. Prior to application, dampen Avon Pro Flawless Makeup Applicator with water and remove the excess. This prevents foundation from being absorbed into sponge.

2. Dip the Avon Pro Flawless Makeup Applicator into your fave Avon liquid or cream foundation.

3. Gently tap on face in a stippling motion.

YourAvon.com Update

I am still currently experiencing a temporary outage on my YourAvon.com website.

Avon’s technology department is working as quickly as possible to restore normal operations and estimate that YourAvon.com will be available for you Friday, August 13. Our distribution teams are back to normal operations but if you placed an order on or after last Wednesday, August 4, there may be a delay in your shipment.

The Good News is My Representative Backend is Online.

I can place orders and signup new representatives there for my stranded customers in the United States—as well as those in Northern New Jersey counties of Morris, Sussex and Passaic. If you need something or have additional questions, do not hesitate to contact me. Many thanks for your patience and commitment to Avon.
