So in this “How-To” we’ll break it all down to help you get started. These steps are the first of many tasks, but to start, if you follow through on these 5 steps you’ll be much further then you were before and have a much better chance of getting online sales.
Let’s Get Started! You’re just 5 Steps away from increasing your Avon eStore Sales!
Make sure to watch the above video for full explanation & details about the following steps below.
STEP 1 : Personalize Your Avon eStore
When potential customers visit your online store do they see your smiling face front and center? Customers want to know who they are shopping with. When they see your picture it makes a connection. You also want to stand out and be the face behind your Avon eStore which can also build trust.
Here are some things you can do to personalize your online store.
- Image - Upload a good image of Yourself
- Content – Replace Avon’s generic content with your own welcoming your customers.
- Video – For a more personal touch create & post a video message for your customers.
- eStore Address - Make the URL shorter and easier to remember
STEP 2 : Add your eStore Address to all your printed materials
Now this may seem obvious but it has to be mentioned especially for the newer Avon Reps out there. Your eStore address should be included on all your offline printed materials.
This includes your:
- Business Cards, Flyers & Order Forms
Everything should have your eStore web address and if possible include the Avon promo code. - Brochures
Include your web address on all your brochure labels and use cover stickers with the Avon Coupon Code.
UPDATE May 2020: The WELCOME10 promo code is NO longer available but the concept remains the same with any other promo you would like to offer. To create Avon Promos you can use the New Avon Promo Tool found over at your Avon Now Dashboard to create offers for new and current customers

- Include an image of the Daily Care Collection with link to the Daily Care product page.
- Always include your eStore address in your Email Signature.
- Social Media

- Add Customer Contact Info to your Personal Contact list
- Email your list consistently. Follow up at the beginning and end of each campaign and whenever there is an Avon promo code or special offer available (see resource).
STEP 5 : Create Your FREE Google My Business Account
Creating a Google Listing will help people in your area who you don’t know find you. (see resoure)
- Bringing in new customers every campaign will grow your business.
- Update your Google listing often with, new campaign sales, special offers & videos to stay relevant.
Bonus STEP : Encourage Offline customers to get online.
- Show offline customers how to shop online.
- Set up an Online Account for your offline customers over at your eStore.
