Why do Some People Make It In Network Marketing and Others Don't?
Today I'm posting a 'guest' article written by Dana Wilde of The Mind Aware:
Why do Some People Make It In Network Marketing and Others Don't?
Recently I was listening to an interview with Frank Kern, the Internet Guru, and he was talking about why most people don't make it in Internet Marketing. It occurred to me the reasons he referenced could also be applied to network marketing as well.
So why don't people make it in network marketing? . . . 1) Some Never Start. In some cases, after a person signs up and receives a distributor kit, they simply forget about buying the kit and never actually make the commitment to start working their businesses as a business. Some people might never actually book one single party, or if they do get around to booking a party, they never get around to booking another one. Or, sometimes a person has great intentions about starting but somehow finds something else which takes priority. Also, many people are just plain scared to start a business and never actually take part in the the most important task in network marketing . . . talking to people.
2) Some Might Start and Then Hit an Obstacle and Quit. Anyone who starts a business, anywhere, in any field, will at some point face an obstacle. It's a given. At this point, a person must decide if he or she will continue running the business or quit. It's no different in network marketing and direct sales. The real difference between those who make it in network marketing and those who don't are simple: the types of thoughts a person has when facing an obstacle and how a person reacts to a setback is the sole determining factor between successful network marketing businesses and ones which never get off the ground.
Remember . . . thoughts determine whether we make it or not. Nothing else.
A person who won't make it will always think:
"This is never going to work."
"I'm no good at this."
"People aren't interested in this product."
"My timing is bad."
"The economy is bad."
"This is too much work."
A person who makes it will always think:
"How could I have avoided this?"
"How can I improve my business so this doesn't happen again?"
"What have I learned from this?"
"That was a fluke."
"One little bump in the road isn't going to stop me!"
"What good came out of this situation?"
Obstacles and challenges are a natural part of doing business and the unsuccessful network marketer, who focuses on setbacks as a way to justify quitting or stopping short, will never fully understand what a fantastic opportunity was sitting right there in their own laps.
On the other hand, the successful network marketer will seize the opportunity to start their own business, get to the top of their organizations, and confidently see everything through to the end no matter the obstacle or setback.
We don't have to do too much to be successful. It really is easy to make it!
We just have to . . .
* Start. This might sound too simple . . . and it is . . . but it's the most important step you'll ever make!
* Think differently about obstacles. Accept challenges as a normal part of business.
* Use setbacks to your advantage and think to yourself . . . . "How can I make money on this?"
* Keep going. And follow it through to the end.

Thanks To My Team!
My team is doing great and I totally appreciate their hard work. Yes they are my down-line, but they run their own business and I am simply their support. Daily I email all 25 women in my down-line with what I call my daily Rep Pep. It is something I write up to inspire them, along with a sales tip for gaining new customers.
I read every day, authors that have made it in sales, like Joe Girard and Avon's own Lisa Wilber. I want my 'team' to be motivate and aim for those stars of financial freedom. I am also available to them whenever they have a question or need advice or assistance. It is part of my job. I love this job, and I know that this will all pay off not only for me but for them!
This business can be discouraging at times. Recruit prospects set appointments with you then don't show up. You put together a kit so they can get their own Avon business off the ground. You block off time to meet, set up the appointment, even confirm it, and then the 'recruit' doesn't show up and doesn't bother to call. Time is precious to us all, both the recruit and the rep. The recruit would not be pleased if she set aside time from her job, kids, etc and the rep signing her up did not show up or call to reschedule. And yet they do it to us all of the time.
Today I had an appointment with a recruit and she made my day! She thanked me for getting back to her so quickly. She initiated online contact with Avon yesterday early evening, and I received the information and called her within a very short period of time. She was very impressed with the speedy reply and was eager to be a part of my team for that reason. I needed that boost as my sales are not where I need them this campaign.
When I returned from the appointment I had an email asking me to 'please stop littering" a yard with my brochures, despite the fact that I toss on driveways. I am very careful to do so. One little negative threatened to derail my entire positive afternoon. But I work hard to remember what my idol in Avon says, go for the 'no'. She also says if you aren't being asked to stop by someone, the you aren't trying hard enough.
So, while redirecting my thoughts back to the positive rails, I received a great email from one of my down-line, thanking me for the daily emails and support, and for encouraging her with them, she said it energizes her. That made my entire day!
I have such a rocking team! Thanks you very marvelous women!

The Golden Rule
One of the interesting things about Avon, beyond the fact that you can make a mint at it, is the way some folks treat the Avon Lady.
I read a book recently called, "Don't Shoot Me, I'm Just The Avon Lady" and found it funny what this poor woman endured over the years just trying to make an honest living and keep food on her table. As I've encountered similar situations as an Avon Lady, I've often wondered whatever happened to the Golden Rule. You know the one, 'treat others as you would want to be treated'. Let me explain.
In order to have a customer base one must get their brochures into as many hands as possible. Not unlike 'The Door Store', a bunch of printed ads that arrive weekly on the driveway apron or hanging on the mailbox in a plastic bag, we Avon reps need to mass distribute our catalogs. Some reps chose to go door to door and hang them. This is fine if homes are close together and there are not a lot of steps. Not to mention one needs a LOT of free time to do it this way if you plan to distribute any large number. And it is a numbers game, to gain a few customers you end up distributing several hundred brochures.
Because I distribute 600-1000 books a campaign, I've taken to using the roll and toss method. I learned it reading other rep's stories. I put the brochures in the plastic bags, roll them, put a rubber band around them, then drive along throwing them on driveways like the paper boy would do. Based on the number of customers I have, I would say this method works. I have more this way than when I hung them on doors. Also, once someone orders from me I include brochures in their orders and then will also hang the book on their door. Or if they call and specifically request that.
What amazes me is out of the thousands of brochures tossed between me, my sister and my mom, the few rather rude individuals we have encountered. The newspaper and the weekly store ads are thrown on their driveway without issue. But when we tossed a brochure in the same method, we receive a call or email stating that we are littering their yards. My sister and I have each received 1 flat out nasty and mean call regarding this. It isn't the many wonderful customers that we remember, it is the unkind, and often rude few that get to you and can discourage you and make you feel bad.
I got let go when the economy tanked, from a nice office job I had for 26 years. I managed 2 more offices that also fell victim to the times. I could be sitting on unemployment or welfare, but I have chosen to try to make a living working for myself selling Avon. It isn't easy work by any stretch but I like it. I offer great customer service and I'm always nice and polite to everyone, even when someone is just plain rude.
Ease up on those folks trying to make an honest living next time you want to complain. Be it the cashier working retail who is simply doing their job as they are trained, or someone like me that tosses some books hoping to gain a new customer. You never know their story, what they are about, why they do what they do, or what they do for the community. I work hard with Avon to help contribute to charity events in my township, have business license and volunteer my time and donate my products. If you don't want the service, a polite thanks but not interested will do. Littering your yard? Please, no more so than the ads or the newspaper. Treat others as you'd want to be treated, we pay taxes instead of living off of yours, cut us some slack.
OH and remember my name, because my business IS growing and one day I will be quite well off and you just never know when you might be needing my assistance. Believe me, I will remember yours!

Paying It Forward
One thing I believe is that every blessing we receive is meant to be shared with those in need. We pay it forward and it blesses others lives. We receive a second blessing in giving what we have been given.
Nothing will rip my heart apart more than seeing anyone suffer, especially a child. Every so often I will see one of those telethons for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, the one that is doing all they can to cure cancer and other catastrophic illnesses that attack children. The stories will rip your heart out and many do not have a happy ending, though so many DO. St. Jude's never denies a child treatment based on their family's inability to pay, which makes them outstanding. They rely on donations to keep them up and running in the business of research and treatment to try to give these kids a fighting chance.
I was blessed that my kids grew up without these issues, and I give thanks often for this because they could just as easily have been one of those patients fighting for their life.
Avon has been a blessing to me, giving me extra income, allowing me to forge friendships with other women and giving me the chance at a financially secure, debt free future. One thing I want to always do is give back, pay it forward, in some way.
I am starting For The Children Friday. Everyone who buys online or submits their Avon order to me on Fridays, 20% of their total will be donated to St. Jude's. So once a month I will donate 20% of the total Friday sales, both online and regular phone/email sales for that month. Each Saturday I will post what the previous day's sales were, and each month I will post the monthly Friday totals, and a copy of the receipt for my donation so that if anyone has any concerns about my actually doing this, that way I am accountable.
Beginning tomorrow, For The Children Friday begins. Pray for this ministry of mine, that it might be very successful...for the children.

Mailbox Money - It Rocks!
It isn't the first time I've received a check from Avon, I get those bonus checks when I sign someone up and they do well in their first few campaigns. But this check is different. I made Unit Leader, so now I get a percentage bonus check on my downline's sales. Not a huge percentage, but it slides based on how much their orders are, and if they are someone directly under me, or one generation down. My downline is not huge yet, 21 representatives under me in my first, second and third generations, and not everyone is active. But of those that did place orders in the last campaign, I got a small percentage. I received a check for $25.23.
Now that might not seem like a lot to you, but it is a big hairy deal to me! It is $25.23 I didn't have before, and had not planned on receiving. It's BONUS money! It isn't my commissions, it isn't recruitment bonus money, it's money for being a Unit Leader. And it is total motivation for me! The bigger my downline and the more and better they perform, the more the checks for leadership will become. My idol in Avon recently posted that a leadership check of hers was over $9,600!!!! Not bad for a 2 week stretch, and that isn't counting her recruitment bonuses or her commissions of 50% of her sales. Yes, there IS money in being in Avon, especially in leadership.
So, what did I do? Went right out and handed out 3 brochures and have one new order! Not bad for a quick drive up on the pike to grab a sweet tea and a diet coke!
What could you do with more money? I'm looking for good women AND men to join my team. You don't have to be local, you can still join my team, anywhere in the United States! Just go to The Avon Sign Up Page and enter BREDESTEGE-GARD as the code and join my team, we're rising to the top, don't be left behind! YOU could be receiving bonus checks in your mail, mailbox money, as you build your business with Avon!

Does Your Group Need Some Hassle Free Funding?
Most all of us have been touched by fund raising in one fashion or another. Either our own kids were selling candy bars, wrapping paper and cookie dough, or the neighbor children have come to our door peddling such goods in the hopes of raising much needed money for their band, team, etc. If you have ever been involved in this type of fund raiser you know what a huge hassle it can be to organize, or even just be the parent of the child trying to sell the items to anyone and everyone.
I have a fund raiser idea for you that is zero hassle. Doesn't matter where in the United States you are, I will work with you on this adventure, you won't believe how simple this will be!
I will design a fund raiser card for your group. You and the group hand out the cards to anyone and everyone you know and can think of, totally free of cost. Then, anytime anyone orders Avon from me, presenting or mentioning that fund raiser card, I will donate 10% of their purchase to your group in their name. At the end of every month I will send the designated group chair person or treasurer, a list of names of those that purchased, their total, and the total due the group. I will include a check for the total funds raised that month. No expiration, no need to sell anything. Avon sells itself! They can order right on my website, then let me know who they are and that they ordered with that card and your group benefits!
Daycare centers, sports teams, school bands, charity organizations, youth groups, mission trips, whatever the group, if they need the funds, we can work together!
These are just a few of the hundreds of designs I can order and ship to you for your group's fund raising. Contact me on my online AVON site and we can get fund raising started for you!

Some Day These Will Be Fond Memories
The day will come when I will be writing my story for others to read, of how I became THE Avon Lady in my area of town. I just know it because failure is simply not an option for me.
In that story will be tales about evenings like last night. Me, my sister and my mom were all watching DVR'd episodes of "Body Of Proof" while stamping and rolling Avon brochures. We stamp and date them, then put them in the plastic 'what's new' bags. Then we fold the top over and roll the brochure and put a rubber band around it. When I say we 'toss' brochures now, I mean it. We toss them from the moving car just like the paper boy would the daily news, right onto the driveways. We had been walking them and hanging them on doors, but this was very time consuming. I distributed 200 brochures yesterday in the morning in about 15 minutes time by driving slowly down the street and tossing them. Today we tossed about 700 total for the 3 of us. Now we are hoping for incoming orders!
Our day will come, down the road, when we will have an area/office to do all this in and some helpers to assist with the dating, stamping and rolling. For now we do what we have too.
Another memory will be like this morning. See, I am an in home daycare provider, I watch kids in my home. During the day I have a 3 month old, 1 year old and a 2 year old. After school two 7 year olds join us. I have not been diligent in getting brochures out in the past because I am busy all day with kids and I cannot take 3 little ones to walk brochures around. Yesterday was the first time I rolled and tossed, an idea from another team's blog. Today, it was me and sis, in the front seat with kids in the back seat, tossing out both sides of the car. My Avon idol, Lisa Wilber, started out in the trailer park. I am breaking ground with breakfast stains from little hands on my shirt, and baby formula 'burp' remains on my shirt and 3 car seats in the back seat of the car. I love it!
It won't last forever! Remember my name, because it will be all over Avon as a top sales rep and leader, one day soon!

Don't Reinvent The Wheel
I've been struggling with my Avon business since the beginning. Oh I get by just fine, the problem is coming up with fresh, creative ideas for sales and recruiting. I finally had a light bulb moment when I realized I was trying to reinvent the wheel.
Instead of frying brain cells from over activity trying to dream up great ways to market, why not learn and use the things being shared by those who are smashing successes? Like my Avon idol, Lisa Wilber, #6 in sales in the country and making over $300,000 a year in Avon (she openly shared her tax return when speaking to prove this). Lisa shares on Facebook, through her own website, blog and published books, many fantastic ideas for growing this business. It supports the "in business FOR yourself but not BY yourself" that Avon teaches us in training. One of my favorite parts of district sales meetings is the recognition of other reps accomplishments and when they share their tips. I borrowed one this past week in creating a newsletter to email to my customers. A way to highlight sales and other things I believe they will want to know! It also keeps me and Avon in the front of their mind.
The funny thing is, when reading what others have done, or sharing ideas with other reps, those things seem to act like fertilizer in the creative part of my brain and next thing I know I am coming up with new ideas! Oh not original as I am sure somewhere another rep has already thought them up but they are new to me and hopefully will be great additions.
Today I used Lisa Wilber's rule, that I am now applying to my own life. Everyone I have contact with gets something from me and my business. My business card, a brochure, a trial size product...whatever it takes to get my name and what I sell into their hands. I've opted to give everyone a brochure in a What's New bag (those clear plastic Avon bags for hanging on doors) along with a mini or trial size of a product or a lip balm or hand cream. Oh and a flyer about selling Avon. I also make sure I am wearing my business in the form of my perfume (Imari), jewelry (every one of my 6 rings, my necklace and earrings), and an Avon logo shirt. No one has to guess with me. Funny thing is today I had 6 compliments on my ring. It is the snake ring from Avon, I have the watch as well. 3 people that commented received a brochure with a gift from me, a Naturals Mini Anti-bacterial Hand Gel. One woman today (my waitress at lunch) asked for a brochure. She noticed my Avon logo shirt and jewelry and requested one. She was getting one anyway but she didn't know that, her asking just made it easier to hopefully close a sale as we actually interacted and if they ask for one, they are for sure interested.
I am going to the store in a bit, I WILL have brochures with gifts in my purse.
Anyway, don't struggle trying to come up with great ideas. Use what is tried and proven from others, it is why they share them!

Setting The Goals
Today has started off great. 3 of us Divas met up with a fellow Avon lady and good friend for breakfast. 2 hours of laughing, sharing and brain storming, my kind of morning meeting! I went to the credit union after and now I'm in front of my computer pouring over blogs and Facebook, soaking in the ideas while inwardly motivating myself. Scary, I know.One of the blogs I read is by Lisa Wilber, my Avon idol. She started out in the trailer park, she is a millionaire now. Yes, she is lipstick diva, she sells vanity crack, like I do, but she has a 6 figure income and gets to travel the world. All because she believed in herself. I was reading her one blog post, Motivational vs. Instructional, and realized that part of my problem in life has been I didn't ever believe in myself, in my own ability to succeed. I spent most of my life buying the negative comments said about me rather than embracing the positive ones. Oh, she has another post, The Bad Stuff Is Easier To Believe, that goes hand in hand with the motivation one and with myself destructiveness at times.
My self confidence is something I have struggled with all of my life. Those few negative commentators throughout my life have done a number on me...because I allowed it. My wonderful, amazing honey told me something important that I've had to work hard not to do, but has made a difference in how I see me. He does not care for it when I speak negatively about myself. He sees me as pretty, sexy etc. If I focus on and verbalize the negative traits about myself, it's like telling him that he is wrong, and it will effect how he starts to see me. So, I no longer talk about my negative traits. We both know that they exist, we all have them. Instead I focus on the good stuff.
Right now, I am focused on my personal success. My mom and sister met one of the millionaires in Avon recently at a rally of sorts. I follow one on Facebook and her blog. These are real people, that really work hard and make a heck of a lot of money. I plan to be one of those women. Oh but not just one of them, one of the top 5 in the country. I know that I can, if I want it enough to work for it. I know that I am good at selling things, promoting etc, and I know what I want. I want to make 6 figures. I want to be a success. SO, I will be. I refuse to fail, or even consider failing.
I realize to do this I need to be organized. SURPRISE! I am very organized lately. The past few weeks I've been getting my business in order, purging stuff and setting up things so that I can find them. I have that side in order. On my closet door is a white board and bulletin board. I have a day planner, and I have several tote bags. One is for meetings, one is for product and samples. I also have a zip up organizer. I have paperwork in order and put away.
Next is to set reasonable goals. No use setting them if they cannot be achieved or that is just setting up to fail. My goals are written on the white board where I see them daily, in fact many times through the day. As those goals are checked off new ones will replace them.
I'm reading everything and anything written by successful Avon reps, why try to reinvent the wheel? They all do things similar and yet have many different ways of making this work. So, I am soaking it up and will try two or three ideas. If they work, great. If not, NEXT?
My first goal is to achieve President's club. To do that I need $10,100 in sales in a year. This is doable, it is on my horizon already, within my grasp and I WILL achieve it. As soon as I achieve this, I start making 40% commission on my sales, fixed, for the next 12 months. That also means I will make $4040 just on sales if I maintain $10,100 in the coming year of sales. Not bad. But NOT enough. My sales WILL be higher the next year because there are a lot of great perks with that recognition. Once I have those, I won't want to let go of them. This means some sub-goals that have to be met, like distributing brochures, and shameless self promotion wherever I go. Done. Shirts with the logo, buttons, carrying brochures, samples and business cards and giving them to anyone that is breathing. All on the board, all part of the making the goals.
I also have entered leadership, I'm building a downline. There are women in this business with several hundred people in their downline. With a larger downline comes more $$, promotions etc. The two areas combined, sales and leadership, are how one makes it to those 6 figure incomes.
Go ahead, laugh and make the jokes about Avon ladies and soap on a rope. The Lisa Wilbers of the world are laughing all the way to the bank with their millions in sales and profits. Be skeptical, because I, too, will be laughing as I cash those checks.

Time To Set Your GOALS!
Okay team, and others, it is time to set some goals for the remainder of September. We have 12 days left in this 9th month of the calendar year, let's make the most of it, shall we?
I want to have $600 in new orders this campaign, which goes in on 9/27. Via the web, phone, tossing brochures, or in person, I want that much in NEW business. In order to do it by month's end, the 30th, I need $50 a day in new orders. To do it by order day, I need $66 a day.
I want 2 more recruits for September, so I need to get on and make some follow up calls and drop off mini-kits to addresses that have not returned my calls.
I want to give out 10 brochures with free deodorant this week. This is an idea I found via my inspiration and Avon idol, Lisa M. Wilber. She has days she dedicates to a particular product, then gives it out with a brochure to everyone she comes in contact with that day. I LOVE this idea. At the moment I have an entire case of deodorant so that is my product of choice to hand out.
Here is another great idea Lisa shared today on her Facebook page:
SO ladies and gents, what are YOUR goals for your Avon business this month? What are you doing to ensure you meet them?

| Don't have much money? Take one paper delivery bag, fill with 10 Avon brochures & samples or trial sizes, write on the bag "FREE Brochures & Samples, Just Ask!" and carry it with you every where you go. When you are at a Restaurant or at the cash register checking out, set it up on the counter for all to see (write on both sides). Easy, cheap -- even for the shy! - Lisa M. Whitten Wilber |
SO ladies and gents, what are YOUR goals for your Avon business this month? What are you doing to ensure you meet them?

My $1 Cash And Carry Basket
Sharing a tip for my team/unit, The Lipstick Divas:
Make a $1 Cash & Carry Basket. Get a cute basket from the store, or some type of easy carry container that is CUTE! Inside stock it with $1 items from Avon. Every campaign we have specials (check the back cover) of one or another item for $1 or .99 cents. Buy $10 worth and start putting together a basket of said items.
When you deliver your orders to customers, allow them to chose an item as a thank-you gift for their order, then also mention that if they want anything else, each item is $1.
Another great promotion, if you work outside of your home at another job while building your Avon business, take that $1 basket to work. Especially with the holidays not far off, mention that you have $1 stocking stuffer type items.
Ideas for that basket:
Any of the mini's (lotions, hand sanitizer gels, shampoos etc)
Lip balms
Roll-on deodorants
Eye Makeup Remover (it specials for $1 from time to time)
Bath Paints for Kids
Keep an eye on these in brochures for when they are on special and stock up!

OH GENTLEMEN, BEST BE AWARE!!
I want to talk to the men today, about something looming on the horizon that is either going to land you in the dog house, or put you astride that white stallion as your honey's knight in shining armor. Something that, even though there will be reminders on billboards, the radio, TV and in darn near every store you enter, YOU are likely going to forget about. But your beautiful, significant other, already knows it is coming. She will be waiting and hoping, but likely expecting you will forget. Know what I'm talking about? I am talking about:
Now, even if you are like me and think it is just one more lame attempt by the greeting card and flower industries to get you to spend money, and even if your lovely lady might agree, deep down she is hoping for that sign of your affection and love. Don't blow it, fellas, and let me help you land on that white horse!
Maybe you need something for her birthday, anniversary, or just to let her know you were thinking of her out of the blue (believe me this carries a lot more meaning than an over marketed lover's holiday).
I can put together, for you, some lovely gifts that will land you on the happy list, astride that horse with your armor all shining and your baby thinking you are wonderful.
If you are local, I will even gift wrap/bag it and provide a beautiful, not overly mushy greeting card. My special gifts range in price from $15 - $100 or more, I can tailor them to fit your budget. Or, if you just need some ideas, I can offer my consultation services, free of charge, and you can purchase items directly off of my Avon site and have them sent to you within a few days.
DO NOT PROCRASTINATE it will be here in less than 30 days, let's do the shopping now so that when you wake up that morning and she gives you the evil eye thinking once again you forgot, you can surprise her with something special.
Here are just a few ideas:
Sterling silver and genuine black sapphire ring and matching earrings. Regular price $29.99 for each, right now on sale 2 for $30! Believe me the photos do NOT do the jewelry justice!
Or how about a sterling silver setting, oval 1 carat amethyst with CZ accents. Symbol of peace & serenity. Rhodium-plated for anti-tarnish protection. Comes in a velvet box with card giving the stone's meaning. Just $49.99!
Avon has some very beautiful fine jewelry that you can purchase in my online store!
On a tighter budget? EVERY woman loves to be pampered with nice bath and body products! Rarely will we splurge on ourselves but nothing is as nice as a wonderful shower gel, and body lotions and mists.
For only $9.99 send her senses on a vacation with mango and pomegranate, bursting with fruity goodness! A sparkling blend of lush pomegranate and juicy mango to delight the senses and refresh the body and soul. Bundle includes:
Refreshing Shower Gel
5 fl. oz. A $6 value.
Moisturizing Hand & Body Lotion
8.4 fl. oz. A $7 value.
Refreshing Body Spray
8.4 fl. oz. A $9 value.
Nurturing Shampoo
8.4 fl. oz. A $4 value.
Nurturing Conditioner
8.4 fl. oz. A $4 value.
For $9.99 perhaps a sweet-scented mix of glazed apples with a light sprinkle of rich, creamy walnuts. Bundle includes:
2 Refreshing Shower Gels
Each, 5 fl. oz. Each, a $6 value.
2 Moisturizing Hand & Body Lotions
Each, 8.4 fl. oz. Each, A $7 value.
1 Refreshing Body Spray
8.4 fl. oz. A $9 value.

SWEETEST DAY!!!
Saturday October 15th
Saturday October 15th
Now, even if you are like me and think it is just one more lame attempt by the greeting card and flower industries to get you to spend money, and even if your lovely lady might agree, deep down she is hoping for that sign of your affection and love. Don't blow it, fellas, and let me help you land on that white horse!
SAVE YOURSELF A TRIP TO THE MALL AND THE ASSOCIATED STRESS!
Maybe you need something for her birthday, anniversary, or just to let her know you were thinking of her out of the blue (believe me this carries a lot more meaning than an over marketed lover's holiday).
I can put together, for you, some lovely gifts that will land you on the happy list, astride that horse with your armor all shining and your baby thinking you are wonderful.
If you are local, I will even gift wrap/bag it and provide a beautiful, not overly mushy greeting card. My special gifts range in price from $15 - $100 or more, I can tailor them to fit your budget. Or, if you just need some ideas, I can offer my consultation services, free of charge, and you can purchase items directly off of my Avon site and have them sent to you within a few days.
DO NOT PROCRASTINATE it will be here in less than 30 days, let's do the shopping now so that when you wake up that morning and she gives you the evil eye thinking once again you forgot, you can surprise her with something special.
Here are just a few ideas:
Sterling silver and genuine black sapphire ring and matching earrings. Regular price $29.99 for each, right now on sale 2 for $30! Believe me the photos do NOT do the jewelry justice!
Or how about a sterling silver setting, oval 1 carat amethyst with CZ accents. Symbol of peace & serenity. Rhodium-plated for anti-tarnish protection. Comes in a velvet box with card giving the stone's meaning. Just $49.99!
Avon has some very beautiful fine jewelry that you can purchase in my online store!
On a tighter budget? EVERY woman loves to be pampered with nice bath and body products! Rarely will we splurge on ourselves but nothing is as nice as a wonderful shower gel, and body lotions and mists.
For only $9.99 send her senses on a vacation with mango and pomegranate, bursting with fruity goodness! A sparkling blend of lush pomegranate and juicy mango to delight the senses and refresh the body and soul. Bundle includes:
Refreshing Shower Gel
5 fl. oz. A $6 value.
Moisturizing Hand & Body Lotion
8.4 fl. oz. A $7 value.
Refreshing Body Spray
8.4 fl. oz. A $9 value.
Nurturing Shampoo
8.4 fl. oz. A $4 value.
Nurturing Conditioner
8.4 fl. oz. A $4 value.
For $9.99 perhaps a sweet-scented mix of glazed apples with a light sprinkle of rich, creamy walnuts. Bundle includes:
2 Refreshing Shower Gels
Each, 5 fl. oz. Each, a $6 value.
2 Moisturizing Hand & Body Lotions
Each, 8.4 fl. oz. Each, A $7 value.
1 Refreshing Body Spray

Anti-Aging Miracle Give Away ~ Ends 9/13/2011
Avon has released one of the most amazing, break through products in skin care, GENICS!
Ever notice how some women just never seem to age? Well after 10 years in the making, inspired by the discovery in Italy that everyone does have a youth gene, Avon created Anew Genics. Now every woman can look up to 10 years younger by using this product.
I started using it 3 weeks ago, and I'm blown away by the improvements to my skin and appearance. I'm so confident that you will agree, that I've decided to GIVE AWAY one full size GENICS night cream to one of my readers. (Optimal results come from using one of the Anew Day Creams along with the GENICS).
GENICS retails for $38, but I'm going to give one away to one lucky reader of my blog. 2 chances per person, the first is leave a comment on this post, the second is to 'like' my Facebook page. If you are already a fan there just leave a comment on the page telling me you stopped by.

Anti-Aging Miracle
Seriously, I am one of the WORST critics of skincare regimens around. I never believed they really did anything at all...and then I tried Avon Anew Reversalist. First thing I noticed in 24 hours was my skin just felt better. A few weeks out there is no doubt that my skin looked better too. I use the cleanser, day cream, night cream and eye cream. Others noticed a difference but couldn't say what, just that I looked great.
Avon has recently introduced Genics. The trial size was available last campaign, and the full size jar is now available to the public. Before this, as a rep, I had the opportunity to try it. Instead of my night cream, I use the Genics. I am about 2.5 weeks into this and I am blown away. My skin is more firmed up, has less fine lines, and is looking and feeling amazing, and YOUNGER. I had discoloration from having adult acne in my early 30's, that is gone. I'm totally, 100% sold. By the end of 4 weeks the claim is I could look up to 10 years younger. I'm so thrilled with the results at this point there is no way I'm stopping. This alone is enough reason for me to stay in Avon just for the savings to me when I purchase Genics.
You will LOVE this product. Avon knows it too. Avon has a 100% money back guarantee on their products, so the only risk to you? NONE. But you won't want to return it, believe me.
It does work best with a regular skin care regimen, and Avon has a number of those for every budget. ANEW is our top of the line, compare it in price and results to anything out there at any department store counter, you won't find a better product and the prices are often far less. In fact, this campaign, ANEW products are buy one, get one for $12 on pages 94-101 (up to a $52 savings!).
If that is out of your budget, then try Avon Solutions lines. One is for normal skin, one is for aging skin on pages 108-109. The day lotion is only .99 cents with the purchase of another item in the product line on those pages. $13-15 value for just .99 cents. Remember, don't order the night cream order Genics instead and use it at night.
I have found that a good skin care regimen goes a LONG way in making me look better and feel better about myself. Take care of YOUR skin, look younger and save now. If you order the new Genics, your order ships free if ordered by midnight, 9/8/2011, use the code GENICS907 at the check out (remember, you must be ordering Genics with your order to get free shipping).
