Why I Use a Serum Under Moisturizer, and What You're Missing If You Don't

updated August 2024

My "serum story" begins at Avon Repfest in Nashville, August 2017. I have used ANEW eye, day and night creams consistently for decades. Every once in a while. when Avon would introduce a treatment serum, I would try it, usually in place of my night cream. I wouldn't notice a difference, and I would go back to the night cream. It just didn't make sense to me to add a treatment product under a moisturizer that already had so many benefits.

Over the years, as the ravages of time and sun have made their marks on my face, I've developed some persistent dry skin patches on my nose and cheeks. No matter what products I used, they stayed, challenging the application of makeup with their flaking. I even had them checked by a doctor to make sure they weren't more disastrous.

In my Repfest "Swag Bag", I received some trial sizes of the ANEW Power Serum. And, in one of my training classes, makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan shared using the Power Serum to smooth the skin before makeup. So, that night, and twice a day for the rest of my trip, I used the serum under my moisturizer. I didn't notice a difference right away, but by the time I got home 3 days later, there were NO dry patches on my face!

It's been a couple years since I went to Repfest. I have continued using the serum twice daily under my ANEW moisturizers, and even during the dry Winter months have had no return of those pesky dry patches. Since that time, Avon has introduced a few more serums, so there is now a product for everyone, regardless of age or skin type.

How to Have a Successful Avon Vendor Event

updated August 2024

The first thing you need to do is find a venue to set up your display.  I recommend starting with a free or low price table fee.  
You don't need a lot of inventory to have a successful event.  All you need are brochures, flyers or business cards and a few items for cash and carry.
You can get fancy with gift baskets, and more products, but the most important thing is to have fun, meet new people, and get contact info for your new sales and recruiting prospects.  

You can find videos on Avon's YouTube Channel, and display them on a tablet or laptop at your table.  That can help relieve shyness or uncertainty about what to say to your visitors. 

Chatting with some early birds about skincare while setting up my display. 

You can also use games to make your display more fun and interactive.  
You can fill a container with lipstick samples and have people guess the number.  Have them provide their contact info with their guess, and award a prize end of the show for the closest guess. This is a variation on the idea of a door prize drawing. 

I found a small prize wheel on eBay for a low price, but it does the job, and attracts a lot of kids, young and old.  I use prizes that cost me less than a dollar, for example lip balms from the Avon Outlet Book, travel size hand creams, and deluxe samples.  I put a label on each prize with my contact information.  The idea is not to make money from this activity, but to get Avon products into the hands of consumers so they can try them, and contact you to order. 

Last but not least, the most important part of a vendor show is what you do after the event.  When you deliver the prize to your winner, you have the opportunity to connect with that person and offer to follow up with future campaign books.  And, you have contact information from all the people who did not win the prize.  You can call or email them to offer an Avon book or samples.  You can also get permission to add them to your email list.  Your Avon representative website has an automated email program to help you follow up with your customers.

Avon says, "Anytime, Anywhere, Always Ask."   Do your prospects need quality skin care products at a reasonable price point?  Do they need a way to earn more money?  Do they want a discount on their Avon orders?  A vendor event gives you the perfect time and place to ask guests about their Avon needs.

AVON Participates With EBATES So You Can Shop Online & Save More $$$

updated August 2024

Have you seen TV and internet ads for EBATES, or as it is now known, Rakuten?  I'm ordinarily skeptical of companies advertising "CASH BACK" just for shopping, because it usually is a miniscule amount of money for maximum effort, or for installing a potentially virus-laden extension or app.

Having said that, I did some research.  While there is an app and an extension to use for Rakuten, the program works just as well without one.   And it works at almost any online store you can imagine, as long as you enter through your Rakuten account, which is easily bookmarked.  I have all my "favorite" stores organized on my Rakuten home page, including Amazon, eBay, Target and of course my AVON online store.

Percentage of cash back bonuses are paid every three months, using your choice of convenient payment methods, including paper check mailed to your home.  I chose PayPal, because that's easiest for me. 

I get emails after shopping at my favorite stores with the details of the cash back I earned for each shopping trip.

Best of all, Rakuten pays for referrals!  I also earn cash for each person who signs up and shops the first time using my referral code or link.  

I'm surprised that more people are not talking about this program, because it's EASY, FREE and really PAYS! 

Try it for yourself.  You won't be disappointed when you get paid!
