My Avon Story

My Avon story began in January of 2008. I received an Avon brochure on my door with an opportunity to become an Avon rep for $10.

I have a degree in accounting and have always loved working at different bookkeeping and income tax offices. However, I finally had to quit when osteoarthritis set into my hands and wrists.

So when I received this Avon opportunity, the wheels started turning in my head. Selling Avon would not require me to continuously use my hands or sit at a desk for 8 hours. It would give me much more variety. I also had a teenage daughter at the time who loved makeup and fashion. It was a no-brainer when I learned I could get a discount on our beauty purchases.

As many new Avon reps do, I started selling to friends and neighbors. We all know that they cannot buy every campaign.

That is when I branched out by hanging Avon brochures on the doors of nearby neighborhoods. I always had Avon catalogs with me when doing my errands. I left Avon books in laundromats, hair salons, dentist offices, schools, and anywhere I went. Before long, I started getting more and more customers.

It was great! But I wanted more customers with less work.

With so many people shopping online, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to sell Avon online.

After researching Google in 2010, I found an eBook that taught me how to start building my Avon beauty blog. The authors of the book offered me great free advice. They are awesome, and I couldn’t have done it without them.

I was pretty green at first in making my blog posts. I constantly researched online how to improve my blog and get better SEO online. I wanted to rank on the first page of Google for my Avon keywords.

As Avon requires all purchases to be made through our free Avon website, I have redirected all the traffic from my blog to my Avon website.

I was incredibly excited when I started getting online sales in 2011. It was truly amazing and served as a great encouragement for me to work even harder.

My personal and online sales were doing very well.

Then……………on June 20, 2011, I received a phone call that changed many lives forever. A Nebraska sheriff called me, telling me my son-in-law and daughter were in a tragic car accident as they were traveling back home to Colorado. I was in shock and couldn’t believe everything he told me.

My daughter and her girlfriend were in critical condition and airlifted to different hospitals in SD. My 21-year-old son-in-law was pronounced dead on impact. They had only been married for eight months, AND my daughter was pregnant with their first child.

My daughter was in critical condition. She suffered a traumatic brain injury and many other serious injuries. My husband and I stayed with her throughout her recovery for 4 months in different hospitals.

After relearning how to do everything again (swallow, eat, talk, sit, stand, walk, and daily care routine), she was released from the rehabilitation hospital.

We are so thankful to God for preserving her and her baby girl. What a joy they are to us! We can testify of God’s mercies to us.

Throughout all four months, I did not do much Avon. However, my Avon online sales grew and grew. I was amazed!

The checks from Avon kept coming in. We were so thankful for this extra income with all of the medical and travel bills we incurred.

In 2011 and 2012, I earned free trips from Avon to New York and an Alaskan cruise. We also enjoyed a trip for 4 to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, in 2012, to which we took my daughter and granddaughter.

These were memorable times! Thank you, Avon!
