Avon Sales Leader Highfive incentive

Introducing the new Avon Sales Leader Highfive incentive, allowing you to potentially earn £605+ for recruiting Representatives that place orders over MOV in campaigns 2 - 4 2015. That could mean earnings of £1210 and over!

Invest in your Avon business and you will be rewarded

Forget about the loss of the £5.60 reimbursement fee for the brochures used; with this incentive, even if you only manage to get 2 representatives to place orders in LOA 1 above the MOV, that's still £15 per Avon Representative, giving you £30 extra earnings! Straight away you have made your money back, and you're not even into campaign 3 - 4's LOA 2's.

Recruit into Campaign 2 or 3, and you will get up to £55 for each LOA1. The Avon Sales Leader Highfive incentive is split into 2 opportunities:

Opportunity 1

Make sure you recruit in Campaign 2 and Campaign 3, the more Reps you habe placing a first order at MOV or above, the more you will earn. You could earn up to £55 for every Rep placing a first order in Campaign 2 and Campaign 3.

Opportunity 2

Here you have a second opportunity to earn with this Avon Sales Leader Highfive incentive. Make sure your Representatives who have placed a first order in Campaign 2 and 3 are placing a second order above MOV in Campaign 3 and Campaign 4. The more Reps you have placing a second order at MOV or above, the more you will earn. You could earn up to £55 for every Rep placing a second order above MOV in Campaign 3 and Campaign 4.

Avon Sales Leader High5 incentive

To put it simply, if your Avon LOA1's turn into Avon LOA2's in Camapign 3 or 4, you will further your earnings by how many LOA2's place their orders. Here is an example:

You sign up 14 LOA 1's in campaign 2 - 3. 9 of them LOA 1's place an order over MOV. This means, as part of opportunity 1, you will earn £405! Next comes opportunity 2. You will now coach and help your 9 successful LOA 1's to place an LOA 2 order over MOV. Let's say 8 of them place an order over MOV. You will earn an additional £360! By the end of it, you will have earnt an extra £765.

Useful things to introduce your new Reps to

POB is great for sharing the brochure online to all of your friends and family of social media pages like Facebook and Twitter. It is a great and easy way to get orders and it's simple to use.

Suggest to them where they can find new customers. Whether they work part time in a shop or just pop to the local shop, suggest to them that they could ask the girl behind the counter if she would be interested in the brochure, and so on.

One thing that does need to be said is that every body is beautiful in their own way, with or without the use of make up. Women wear make up for a number of different reasons, and of course they are all valid reasons. Make up is pretty much a work of art; it's a great way for a woman to express herself. More often than not, makeup says things about a woman they usually do not say on their own.

One in three women admit that they refuse to leave the house without makeup on.

Whether it's a nice lippy, black mascara or foundation, Avon is the company for you. With a quick swipe of Avon Mega Effects mascara before you walk out the door in the morning, we've got just the thing to boost your confidence.

But how does makeup make the user feel? Psychologists distinguish between trait and state self-esteem, a stable sense of confidence versus a transient boost. Grooming rituals can be temporary confidence boosters, and studies suggest that the confidence they inspire is itself attractive.

Avon Make up has helped boost womens' confidence since 1886

There have been numerous studies that show that photos of women wearing makeup are perceived as being more attractive, more likely to be hired, healthier, and more confident (Journal of Applied Social Psychology). In fact, in one study, in as few as 250 milliseconds of seeing a photo, participants rating women’s attractiveness rated women with makeup as more attractive (New York Times).

Did you know?

Empowerment and Social Networking … Long Before Facebook
In 1886, direct selling at Avon represented a means for women to earn their own money at a time when not many women worked outside the home. It connected women, who were otherwise isolated and immersed in domestic life, in what the company calls “the original social network.”

Since the early days, Avon Representatives have made the personal relationship the heart of their businesses. It’s impossible to tell just how many women have bonded while selecting the perfect Avon lipstick shade or fragrance. But there’s no doubt that this intimate “scents and sensibility” approach works; by 1920, sales topped $1 million, reaching $1 billion by 1972 and $10 billion by 2008.

Avon make up lipstick quote

Skincare products make up the largest part of the cosmetics market. One of Avon's best sellers happens to be from our Skin So Soft range, and also from our skincare range,  Avon sells 3  anew clinical eye lifts every one minute!

Best selling Avon Make up Products:

Every 1 second, Avon sells 4 avon lipsticks

Every 1 second, Avon sells 2 avon mascaras

Every 2 minutes, Avon sells 1 avon ultra colour lipstick

Every 1 minute, Avon sells 2 avon nailwear pro nail enamel

It's not just Avon Make up...

In one study, men who had just sprayed themselves with a scented versus unscented product were judged more attractive by women who could not smell them. The men with scented body spray simply acted more confidently and thus appeared more visually attractive.

Avon Make up mission statement

Hosting an Avon Party is bound to increase your sales within your Avon business. The beauty of hosting your own party means you choose the style which reflects your customers and yourself the most. So, make it your own and earn money at the same time!

Planning your Avon Party

Define "Avon Party": When you have Avon products, brochures, order forms and people all together in the same room!

As you know, your Avon Party can be whatever you make it. Here are a few successful ideas:

• Having a few people round for a morning coffee
• A childrens afternoon play date where the moms get together, too
• Afternoon tea and cake with friends
• Girly nights in, pyjama party
• An evening with Cocktails and Canapes

But, it really is up to you. If you have another idea, then stick to it and make it work for you! The options are truly endless.

All a theme does is create excitement. You could also choose to theme around different times of the year – Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Mothers/Fathers Day.

Inviting people can be done however you want to do it too, you can make special invitations to put out with your Avon customers brochure, text them or ring them, advertise it on Facebook, and even eMail them. Whatever works best for your customers.

Tip: if you are inviting your customers, they are probably more likely to come if they can invite a friend. This way, they will feel more relaxed and of course it can mean extra orders for you.

 Your customers can host an Avon Party

This is a great way to get yourself new customers and to get to know your customers on a higher level. They will invite their friends and family and do a lot of the preparation for you. To get repeat sales and a good reputation for Avon Parties, you should give your host a free gift for the effort they have put in, or a discount off their order. You should help with the planning and offer the correct tools and recourses; here is a check list to make sure you have covered everything:

Avon Party Plan Checklist

Like the list says, you should have a variety of products, brochures, order forms and samples available at your Avon Party:

Products - having products available for the guests to see is a great way for them to try out and have a look at what they could potentially buy. It shows them the great quality of Avon products, and it adds the perfect touch to any Avon party.

Brochures - when your guests have chosen what they would like to order, they are most likely going to want to order again from you. This means you will have the correct brochure on hand, and also the current brochure on hand for them to order from.

Order forms - This is for the obvious purpose of letting your guests write down what they would like to purchase and allows you to keep track of what to order on order day. Your order form should have your contact details on so the customer can write them down. When someone orders let them know their delivery date.

Samples - Samples are a great way to keep the guests thinking about Avon as they leave. They might try it, love it and add it straight to their order! Why not give them two and ask them to pass one to a friend? You may end up with an extra order.

If you are having a few party games or something to do for a bit of fun, why not try out Avon's Virtual Makeover? Upload a picture of yourself and check out different Avon make ups to find the right products to suit you.

 Your helpful Avon Party Tips

Now that you have your check list and you understand how an Avon Party can increase your sales and also build friendships between your customers and yourself, it's time for a few helpful Avon Party Tips.

A is for Awareness:

Avon Party A is for Awareness

Online or face to face, everyone loves Avon products. The beauty of hosting an Avon Party allows people to come and get a feel of the products, with testers to offer, people giving their opinions on their favourites, and brochures to flick through. If someone is unsure about placing an order or simply can not stay long enough to place one there and then, there is the beauty of POB and taking the brochure away with them.

R is for Retail:

Avon Party R is for Retail

If you have your Avon order history, maybe it is worth having a peek through and see if there are any regular purchases from the customers who are coming along to your party. Have a lovely display ready of products that you would happily reccommend, and if they are wearable they do sample it so you can give your own personal reviews!

Our best sellers are Skin So Soft and Mega Effects mascara.

Y is for You:

Avon Party Y is for You

If you are really passionate about Make up and / or fashion, why not really give your customers a demonstration; teach them different ways to apply make up, how to accesorise certain outfits, or how to do a certain hair style. Maybe if you are not so confident but you know someone who is, why not invite them and ask them to demo for you?

If you would like to start Avon today and host your very own Avon Parties then apply today via our online form, it takes a matter of seconds to complete!

Avon Skin so Soft dry oil spray, which you might also know as Woodland fresh, is a Best Seller and one that you won't want to be without during the summer and whilst on holiday. The oil is totally dry and does not leave any marks or smudges on your clothes. It helps soften your skin and is best applied after a bath or shower whilst the skin is slightly damp as this locks in the moisture. There is a very pleasant woody smell and the oil is clear. If you want a fresh 'just stepped out of the shower' smell this is pretty close. It contains citronella which is a lemon smell and which helps to repel insects. The spray comes in 150ml and has a pump dispenser.

Avon Skin So Soft

Nourishes all skin types. Spray on damp skin to lock in essential moisture, light non-greasy formula. A great alternative to insect repellent.

The Royal Marines use Avon Skin So Soft!

"THEY are famed for their ability to operate at sea, in the jungle or in the Arctic wastes and freezing cold of Norway. Battles throughout the centuries have won the Royal Marine Commandos a reputation as one of the world's elite fighting forces.

And as the last line of security in guarding Britain's nuclear weapons, they are pivotal to the Defence of the Realm.

But it appears that on the home front our toughest soldiers are prepared to pander to their softer side to combat Scotland's most persistent foe: the midge.

For years the Marines at Faslane who guard nuclear missiles and the submarines capable of firing them have looked for an answer. They've finally found it in a brand of women's skin cream.

Instead of using mosquito repellent issued by their unit, soldiers and workers at the base are buying Avon body lotion to repel midges on the West Coast. The company traditionally associated with images of well-dressed women selling cosmetics door-to-door is experiencing an unexpected boom thanks to the pesky insect. Neil Smith, a Royal Navy spokesman at HMS Clyde, near Helensburgh, said: "It's not official kit but nothing works better and the Marines are buying it themselves because the midges are so bad up there."

The wonder cure is a 5 bottle of dry oil body spray from Avon's Skin So Soft range. The midge problem at the base where Trident missiles and Vanguard submarines are stationed is so bad it recently installed a MidgeEater machine at the front gate. Workers at the camp can often be seen wearing midge nets on their heads.

Royal Marines are also taking the skin cream on field training exercises outside the base. But although it is the answer to their prayers, they have not been able to buy it at the local chemist.

Smith said: "There has been a lot of group buying because you can only get the stuff from Avon. Some buy it online and others are ordering it through local Avon ladies."

A stores sergeant at 45 Commando, based at Arbroath, said: "There is nothing effeminate about it. The reason the Nods [Marines] are using it is because it is good kit. It works. It's as simple as that."

It is thought that the oily base of the body spray is the ingredient that repels midges. Made with shea butter and vitamins, Avon's packaging boasts that it will "ensure your skin feels velvety soft, hour after hour"."

Avon insect repellent: fight the bite!

Customer review #1

"Just back from Antigua. Used your stuff and it was tremendous. No bites!!! Everyone else at the resort - including my missus was bitten alive. (She decided to stick with deet.)"

Dangerous DEET

Most insect repellants out there are loaded with toxic chemicals, including the pesticide DEET, which is so poisonous that even the Environmental Protection Agency says you should wash it off your skin when you return indoors, avoid breathing it in and not spray it directly on your face. Think about it--if this chemical can kill mosquitoes, it can likely do some harm to other life forms too.

Avon Skin So Soft - the safest & nicest way to repel midges

Avon says that The Original Dry Oil Spray is not an insect repellent, but a great alternative to one. This means there is no dangerous DEET toxic chemicals / pesticides included and it is meant to leave your skin feeling amazing. Avon have achieved a product worthy of repelling mozzies and doing what it says on the tin without even realising it! It repels insects, leaves your skin soft, non - greasy product and smells absolutely fantastic. What more could you ask for?

Customer review #2

I recently had Avon's Skin So Soft Dry Oil Spray recommended to me as I was going on holiday. I was initially wary of spraying an oil on myself but found it to be a good after sun, brilliant moisturiser, which so far to date has stopped me peeling, and saved me being bitten my mosquitoes when I am normally bitten alive! It really is good value for money and I cannot speak highly enough of it. Try, you won't be disappointed and I can't say that about many products.

"We know that film crews use it a lot when they are up in Scotland and Mel Gibson used it when he was making Braveheart here. We're very pleased that it's proving so popular."

Burning citronella will help to deter midges, but those in the know, including the Royal Marines guarding the nuclear base at Faslane on Scotland's west coast, call on an unexpected source for all their midge needs: Avon.

The cosmetic company's Skin So Soft range does more than guarantee velvety-soft upper arms after a bath: it's also a powerful midge-repellent. The Soft & Fresh Dry Oil Body Spray provides an oily protective layer so effective that the soldiers buy it in bulk.

A Holiday Essential for any Outdoor Pursuits

This is an exceptionally good insect and 'mozzy' repellent. It has become infamous through word of mouth. We personally sell in excess of 100 bottles a week.

If you like to avoid being bitten whilst gardening or walking, or on your holidays.

Some of my customers even use it on their pets, dogs, cats, horses etc. to keep the flies away.

If you are using Avon Skin So Soft on your horse, you should dilute the spray 50:50 so you do not accidentally burn your horse! Horse owners reccommend and say it's great for keeping the flies away. One customer says, "I too use this product on my horse who suffers with sweet itch, it is an absolute life saver!"

Avon summer time

Customer review #3

"My daughter is the only member of our family with a mosquito problem. We discovered SSS from a friend who plays golf in Florida. We took SSS to Thailand with us in Dec. 2004 and all was well, no bites at all. We then lost all our possessions in the Tsunami in Phuket and the SSS went as well - Jennifer was eaten alive after that. SSS is excellent! All the best. Steve."

Also if you ever make candles, use clear melted wax and put SSS in as it harden. Works great for outdoor use to keep the mosquitoes away.
As a deodorizer, spray into air and let settle, kills those nasty pet orders.
Kids’ rooms if a child wets the bed, spray the bedding and sheets before washing and will give it a fresh clean smell.

It's a great insect repellent for your pet. (As recommended in "Outdoor Life" and "Field and Stream").
Mix 5 parts water, 1 part SSS and mist on animals. Brushing it in makes their coats gleam and keeps insects off so the animals don't fidget in the show ring.
Mix in your pet's bath water. It takes the fleas off of them...and in between sprays them with the same mixture as in #2 to help keep them off.

Flea Repellent: Avon's SSS Dry oil. 1-1/2 ounces per gallon of water; used as a sponge-on dip (or as a spritz) has been tested and proven to have significant, but not complete, flea-repellent activity for a 6-day period. It should help those dry coats, too.
If you have a Chow, they are notorious for dry, flaky skin. Add SSS Dry oil on their skin and it does wonders!
Horses Cats and Dogs; 1-cup Avon SSS 1-cup white vinegar 1-cup (or more) water 5 cc of essential oil of citronella (from the health food store NOT the type you burn to keep insects away that is available in a drug store) Mix in a spray bottle. Straight SSS works well for mosquito’s too but really makes your dog greasy.
Barns and farm areas; Use a diluted mix of Avon SSS in water and spray on barn walls and floors to discourage insects from hanging around or to eliminate them before putting in the new bedding.
Avon's SSS Dry oil massaged directly into the skin of your Rottweiler acts not only as a successful repellent and makes their dogs smell good but helps prevent drying and itchy skin.
A natural way to help cats with flea problems and flea allergies is to rub Skin So Soft into the skin. Once a bug, always a bug. Fleas don't like it either! Spread the word!
Cats: SSS Dry oil IS SAFE FOR FUR LICKING
Use the Dry oil, and rub it into the skin, not more than every few days. Cats can be sensitive so just be careful. Common sense is the rule

SSS Dry oil can be used as a hoof polish. This will put a nice shine to the hoof without drying it.
SSS Dry oil can be used as a muzzle, eye, and ear enhancer. Using SSS Dry oil works great and still helps keep bugs away.
When braiding your horses manes use SSS Dry oil. It seems to help hold the braids a lot better and they don't try to rub them out.
It removes tar spots from the car without damage to the paint.
Use it to clean vinyl dashboards, seats, and tops. It not only cleans, but also keeps it soft and helps to prevent any cracking.
After washing your car, use it as a tire dressing to keep them looking like new.
Put some on a small washcloth and leave in the car to help keep the air fresh and clean.
Wipe down vinyl surfaces inside your car. Cleans nicely and removes smoke odours left by cigarette smokers.
It gently cleans heavy grease and oil from skin and nonporous surfaces (great for Mechanic's Hands).
It removes tree sap.
Prior to traveling...rub SSS on headlights and grill. It makes insects and bugs easier to remove.
Open a towelettes and use as an automotive air freshener.

The winners

The highfive Mega Prize Draw will take place during Campaign 5 2015 (Campaign 7 2015, if you're a Trendsetter Representative). Avon cosmetics will be notifying us of the exact time and date via your Representative website, email, mymessage and invoice message.

1. Any First Look items that are ordered but not charged until a later date outside of the incentive period will be excluded from your Campaign order value.
