Campaign 26 Kudos

 

Thank you all for a brilliant campaign 26!!!

We had a good sales, and participation level, 

and our group sales were 

$4656.75

I am so thankful for each and everyone of you. Although our team only numbers 60 now 31 of you placed an order in campaign 26.

Eight of you had online sales during campaign 26. I was told a long time ago, by a manager, not to leave money lying on the table. 

When you get sales through your online website, you do not have to unpack a box, sort and invoice, or deliver them, you do not have to use your gas to do so, everything is taken care of and all you do is collect your commission. 

And for this all you do is share your website with all of your customers, and ask them to share with their friends and neighbours. 

You can also send it by text now and do everything online, and you can share on social media. Basically it is a free resource, so make use of it.

One of the thing that has made a big difference to my life, has been my AVON.

Many of you are aware of my story, some of you are not. Suffice to say that we do not realise how much of ourselves and how we think of ourselves, is wrapped up in how we relate to other people. When I first became disabled it was simply a matter of my back going out a few times in quick succession, meaning I could not get out of bed, so could not get to the shower, nor to get dressed, get in the car and drive to work. I did not realize exactly how much of who I thought I was, was wrapped up with being a loyal, responsible employee, who would show up on time, could be called in to cover for somebody that didn't come in, and work late in order to fulfill obligations that needed to be done that day. 

And then all of a sudden I was the person calling in. 

My employers were great, they saw me struggle to walk many days and needing support from objects in order to get from my car to my desk. They were willing to work with me. Unfortunately, when my calling out began to get worse, my guilt at letting my coworkers down meant that I felt I had no other option but to leave my job. In very English terms, it did my head in. I no longer felt that I was who I had thought I was. AVON turned out to be a life saver for me. I was able to challenge myself to build my business, and actually made Presidents Club in my first full year, and attended many Presidents Club banquets locally and received many awards. Our team thrived and grew and at one point numbered about 140.

Finally I felt justified again, I had a reputation back that said that I was a productive member of society. Too often we do not appreciate our own value. We do not realise how outside things influence how we see ourselves. I just know I am very thankful for AVON, and for all of you, because AVON is the part of my life that tells me I am valuable to other people. 

You also need to realise how are your Avon customers see you as valuable to them. For many of you this is just a little side thing for a little extra money throughout the year, or maybe to pay a bill, or simply to save for Christmas. To your customers it may be a lot more. Sadly, becoming disabled meant that I could no longer visit many of my customers the way that I used to. I had to give away some customers that I had had brilliant relationships with simply because they lived in apartments and and I could no longer walk up the stairs. The sitting and visiting that they had come to expect from me was no longer within my ability. I gave them to reps on my team who could visit an be that person that they wanted. This is especially true of the elderly and shut ins, they look forward to your visit for more then it just being you dropping off a brochure or an order. Cherish those relationships.

You all know that I try to be here for you when you need me, but that I do not bug you to sell more, or recruit more, because I feel that you are adults and know exactly what you want from your AVON. I would say though, but if you want more from it, look at the upcoming months and make goals and then plans to work towards achieving them. 

You can start by looking in the AVON U and taking some of the courses (and don't forget you get points for those that you can trade in for different goodies). 

I'd also suggest sharing your E Rep site more, and going into your Promotions tab and setting up free promotions for all of the customers in your AVON address book. I cannot recommend this enough because this gives your customers more for their money and shows that you care for them, and online sales - or more online sales - means extra money for you and it didn't cost you anything. The only promotions that cost you are those where you pay the shipping on a smaller order, or where you offer a discount which then means that the sales level is lower, so your Commission on that order is a little less. But if it keeps your customers coming back with repeat orders, isn't that a small price to pay?

Have a brilliant campaign 27, I wish you all much success. Thank you again for all your hard work and for being on my team, I appreciate you all so much

I'm excited about the holiday season as we have some awesome gifts for everyone in the family, as well as decor ideas for those who like to create Christmas villages and dioramas.

I'm also excited about the upcoming collections in the what's new. These are a great way to save money on some items that you can either show or give as stocking fillers, or for personal use. They are a great value so can be very handy for us as individual customer thank yous as well.

You are an awesome team and I want you to know that I appreciate you all so much. I wish you all an amazing campaign 24. Remember to use the promotions the AVON gives us, only the ones that offer free shipping cost us anything, the items that are free AVON covers so they are a great way to keep customer loyalty and to thank customers for buying from us.

Campaign 22 Kudos

                                       You guys are fantastic! 

You did a brilliant job in Campaign 22 and I'm so thankful for all of you. 

We had our best campaign in a long long time, our group sales were 

$5804.56

Thank you all for your hard work

Times have been tough for everyone but there is that old saying but when the times get tough the tough get going, and we have been doing that. We have stayed strong and plodded through the hard times, and this campaign showed that we are back on track, we almost doubled our sales from campaign 21. I'm glad that so many of you are now making sales again and earning some money. I know how hard it was for all of us when our paychecks dropped. In campaign 23 we start to highlight the Christmas and seasonal items, so I hope you all have a wonderful sale season in this fourth quarter. Remember to take advantage have the promotions that you can give your customers, particularly the ones that you do not have to pay for, where AVON covers the cost of a free item with a particular order size. That helps you grow your business, reward your customers, and earn more money, without having to invest a penny, simply investing in yourself in your time by creating the promotions and then sending them to all of your customer list. What could be simpler?

Congratulations to our four reps whose customers used their online store this month.

Kimberly Chheda $67.43

Carol Delaney $65.78

Michelle-Hamilton Little $62.41

and 

Deeanna K. Montes $61.09

Another thing I want to point out at the moment is that there are an awful lot of different incentives going around, so please keep track by checking out the incentives in the buzz, and by reading your emails from AVON. I have a hard time keeping up myself, so just in case I might miss something and not pass it on to you, please try to keep abreast of everything. I'd hate for you to miss out on something that you could have earned.

Top sellers this time in campaign 22 were

Jennifer Jarvis  $2461.99

Something that I like to give as a gift for Christmas is sterling silver and also in our What's New you will see sterling silver birthstone pendants that make an awesome gift for daughters, granddaughters, great granddaughters, nieces, aunts, grandmothers, and of course our mothers. They will be something to be treasured for years.

Congratulations to all who earned the campaign 14 to campaign 21 Summer Blast bonus ... Unfortunately I am unable to pull up the document with all the numbers on so I can't individually congratulate you by name and I apologise for this, but I hope you enjoyed that extra cash!

Have an awesome campaign 22, happy AVONing

A Natural Alternative To Retinol

For many years, Retinol has been the go to product for reducing wrinkles, for a large proportion of women. It has been very successful, but some women have experienced irritation in using it. Peeling and dermatitis have been two of the not so welcome side effects .  Now there is a plant based alternative to Retinol that helps visibly reduce wrinkles and discolorations without causing irritation and does not promote photosensitivity. The latter means that it can be used during the day, and unlike Retinol, which can only be used a few times a week, the gentleness of Bakuchiol means it can be used twice daily, so can be extra beneficial.

Although you may never have heard of Bakuchiol, it has been around since 1996 and gets its name from the babchi seeds of the Bakuchi plant for which it was named. It helps heal your skin. Not only is bakuchiol found in babchi seeds but sometimes can be found in the livers of certain animals and fish, and in some vegetables.

Bakuchiol is well known as a safe alternative to Retinol and retinoids, doing exactly what they do but without all the side effects. AVON's FARM RX Bakuchiol range is perfect for those who prefer a vegan skin care regimen. 

There are currently three products in the range, 

FARM RX Bakuchiol cream, 

FARM RX Bakuchiol serum, 

and 

FARM RX Bakuchiol eye cream.

Clicking on any of the product links will take you through to the product page, and on that page you can read reviews from customers who have tried the products, you can check the complete list of ingredients and see all the benefits.

For those wanting vegan skin care, this range is a must.

AVON - Farm RX Range For Those Wanting Natural Skin Care

 Recent years have shown an upswing in the popularity of all things green and cosmetics are no exception. Many people have wanted to find a gentler range of cosmetics, made from more natural ingredients and less chemicals, and AVON has listened and joined those who offer vegan and natural products with their Farm RX range.

Natural, plant derived skin care and body care can help soothe irritated skin. That's because it contains all the nourishing ingredients that your skin wants and needs, but without many of the unsafe ingredients that cause the irritations. 

One of the first mainstream ingredients that AVON incorporated into its range was the THC-free, non-GMO CBD oil. Sustainably sourced from domestically grown hemp, AVON use the entire hemp plant in this product including the stalk, seeds, stem, leaves and flowers, so that no part goes to waste. For those who are worried, since the collection of AVON's CBD range does not contain THC, the only high you'll get is knowing your skin feels cool calm and collect it.

CBD is a super ingredient that contains vitamins A D&E and essential fatty acids. Coupling this with turmeric, which is known for its anti oxidant properties, squalane oil from sugar cane which helps replenish moisture, jojoba oil another antioxidant rich oil that helps fight the effects of skin's exposure to bacteria and sunflower oil, AVON created Green Goddess facial oil. 

Green Goddess facial oil calms and soothes stressed out skin as it helps to reduce redness and discomfort so skin looks and feels healthy and radiant.

Another product which has taken skin care by storm has been the advent of cleansing balms. Often they are used as part of a two step cleansing process, and the reason they are used is that they contain oils that helped dissolve all types of makeup and even remove sunscreen. They cleanse more deeply than "just" a regular cleanser. But don't throw away your regular cleanser because like I said, balms are part of a two step process.

When you are double cleansing, start with AVON's Farm RX Super Greens Nourishing Cleansing Balm to gently remove any makeup and impurities. Then use the Farm RX Super Greens Refreshing Gel Cleanser for a deeper cleanse and refreshed feeling. You may be thinking "well, who should use double cleansing?"

Double cleansing is great for those with normal to oily skin, those who have sensitive skin (because the oil-based bomb paired with the gel cleanser is gentle on skin), those who are prone to breakouts and also anyone who wears a full face of makeup.

Remember how when you were growing up you were always told to "eat your greens""? Well, Farm RX Super Greens gives you benefits from the outside. Here are broccoli sprouts, brussels sprouts, green tea, and maringa oil for nourished healthy-looking skin. So now you can have your greens and eat them too!

What comes after cleansing? Moisturizing your skin. 

There are two Super Greens moisturizers, the Farm RX Super Greens Cooling Gel is a lightweight moisturizer that helps soothe and cool skin or you can even apply it more thickly, after a serum, as a mask to hydrate the skin.

Farm RX Super Greens MultiVitamin Moisture Cream locks in essential nourishing moisture and if you use it daily, after cleansing serums and treatments, it will help keep your skin soft and smooth.

During campaign 19 2022, you can get a FREE try-it size Super Greens Gel Cleanser with a purchase of the Farm RX Cleansing Balm or any Farm RX Super Greens purchase from select pages. Check out all of the range here >>> Farm RX

A great way to try out Farm RX is to get the trial kit which is on offer for only $12.99.  Not only does it give you the cleansing gel and the moisturizer but also 2 bakuchiol products as well.

I hope you have enjoyed this introduction to Farm RX Super Greens. They are an innovation so that you can enjoy beauty with natural products.

TOP  SELLERS

Our top three in sales for campaign 18 were:

Jennifer Jarvis $1922.71

Melissa Gower $310.59

and

Lorin Doke $150.50

I know the past couple of years have been a struggle for all of us, COVID left many people either not having social interactions with reps like us, and then there were issues with income and unfortunately AVON purchases tend to belong in the non-necessity classification. I am thankful we are now coming through many of these trials although ask the recent letter from AVON proved, they are still experiencing supply issues just as our regular grocery stores and others are experiencing. All we can do is keep plodding along, one day at a time. We can offer our customers special incentives to still shop with us, and the Promotions Tool under Marketing in the Manage Business  tab in youravon enables you to offer free gifts with purchase, at no cost to you.

The offers change each campaign and you can schedule to have them emailed to all of your customers who have provided an e-mail address and agreed to have emails from us .

Please remember though, that if you send out a free shipping promotion, that the cost of that is paid for by us and will come out of your Commission for that sale.

Make sure to go to the AVON U and check out the priorities for campaign 19 and there are also resources and tools for the campaign as well.

The better prepared we are, and the more targeted the plans we make, the better we are to be successful for campaign 19.

Happy selling everyone, here's to our success!

Campaign 18 is all about the hair!

 In campaign 18 we are highlighting hair care. 

AVON has an amazing array of hair care products. My personal favourite is the Elastine Propolithera one. I have been booked since the range was first launched. My favorite product is the oil serum, which strengthens protects and moisturizes hair as well as giving it shine. I like that when I brush my hair immediately after applying it I can use it almost like a setting lotion to get my hair looking the way that I want it to but then once it dries, there is no greasiness at all and my hair looks perfectly soft and natural, and feels soft and silky. A little goes a long way and I actually rub my hands over my face once I've done my hair and use the serum as a base for my face as well.

Having said that, I love the hair mask and the shampoo and conditioners as well. I have recommended this range to many of my customers, and those who have taken my advice have all been very satisfied.

For those who like botanicals we have the Elastine Botanicals range and these are infused with revitalizing babassu seed oil, chamomile flower water and lemon chestnut extract which helped bring damaged hair back to life and add moisture for a smooth natural looking sheen.

There are three different products. 

The Cherry Blossom and Hyaluronic Acid collection moisturize's dry damaged hair. The Rosemary and Sea Salt collection helps add volume and body and promote thicker hair 

and 

the Avocado and Quinoa collection helps combat frizz and prevent breakage.

These are just some of the products in AVON's amazing hair care ranges. You can see all the others on my website at www.youravon.com/rosemarydempsey

7 Common Shampoo Mistakes That Can Cause Hair Loss (and Other Scalp Issues)

Chances are you're probably making at least one.

We learn how to wash our hair around the same time we learn the ABCs but, unlike the alphabet, this everyday ritual isn't that elementary. Even small missteps in your sudsing process can have big consequences for your scalp and hair (such as hair loss). Add types of shampoos, water temperature, and washing frequency to the mix (Did we mention co-washing?), and you've got yourself a real headache.

There is always room for improvement, once you know you're making mistakes. With that in mind, we polled professional hairstylists for their most common hair-washing mistakes.

1You shampoo too often, or not enough.

Ah, the age-old debate of how often to wash your hair. Infrequent washing can leave your scalp itchy and irritated, but too-frequent washing can leave your scalp dry, producing more oil to compensate.

According to the experts, there's no universal answer because hair-washing frequency depends on a variety of conditions, such as hair texture and lifestyle. "If you have fine, oily hair, I would suggest washing every other day. This is also the best practice for people with dandruff," says Paul Wintner, professional hairstylist and educator for Alterna Haircare. "For people with a normal-to-dry scalp, or curly/coily hair, you should stretch out your wash days to one or two times a week maximum." Regardless of hair type, try to avoid washing every day.

2You OD on dry shampoo.

Dry shampoo is a godsend for greasy, second-day hair; but overusing it can cause buildup, leaving strands limp and hair follicles clogged. "I usually suggest only using dry shampoo one to two times between washes,"  says Wintner. 

3You're not completely wetting your hair first.

It's easy to get impatient in the shower (especially if you're a chronic alarm snoozer) but, to achieve a deep clean, every strand needs to be soaking wet. "Not doing so will make it more difficult to spread the product through your hair and cause you to overuse shampoo," says Wintner. So, to allow your shampoo to emulsify, make sure your hair is completely wet.

4You massage too hard.

We all love a vigorous head scrub at the salon, but don't do it every day at home. According to Wintner, massaging too hard can cause breakage, and scratches on the scalp can result in scarring. "The best practice is to use the pads of your fingertips, and not your fingernails, to scrub your scalp," he says. Using circular motions with slight pressure will be enough to cleanse the scalp and hair."

5You're shampooing the ends.

Focus on the roots, not the ends. Intentionally emulsifying the ends can cause unwanted tangling and knots. What's more, not thoroughly cleansing clogged hair follicles can lead to hair loss if not careful.

Lather and massage the roots to mid-length, and then let the water naturally drive the soap down when you rinse.

6You're not shampooing long enough.

Fast and furious is a great tagline, but not a great motto for washing your hair. If you're in and out of the shower in five minutes, you're probably not doing it right. "It's important to take enough time to scrub and massage the scalp well," says professional hairstylist Gina Rivera. "This is important because massaging generates blood flow, which contributes to a healthy scalp. A healthy scalp makes for healthy hair." Wintner says a good practice is to shampoo with circular motions all over your scalp for two to three minutes. 

7You use the same shampoo year-round.

While it's a beauty myth that your hair gets used to the same shampoo over time, you still want to switch things up occasionally. Your hair needs shift with changing seasons, styling habits, and coloring. For example, a smoothing shampoo might come in handy during humid summer months, while a volumizing shampoo is probably better for the drier winter season. To reduce buildup, Wintner recommends switching off between a clarifying shampoo and moisturizing shampoo, and throw in a color-treated shampoo if your hair is dyed.

Now that we know what not to do, follow this stylist-approved, step-by-step tutorial for washing and conditioning your hair.
