So, you passed out some brochures, posted a few times on Facebook, and maybe even gave out some samples, but no one has placed an order yet.
You might be starting to think that nobody wants what you’re selling or that you’re just not good at selling it.
Hang in there, because neither of those things is true!
Remember, you’re building a business here, the keyword being building. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither shall your Avon business be.

If you stick with your business and commit to trying new strategies, you can be successful! YOU are the boss of your Avon business! YOU are in control of your own success! Don’t let any obstacle come between you and that success!
If you’re having trouble finding your first customers, here are some ideas to try:
1. First things first! Have you ordered and passed out any brochures? Have you shared your digital brochure link on Facebook, by email, messenger, or text? Have you used our Avon Social tool to post pics of the incredible products customers can order from you.
If not, then people don’t know what you are selling! You have to show them!
Brochures can be ordered at any time from avonnow.com! You can also share your digital brochure link from avonnow.com.
2. The fortune is in the follow-up. After you passed out some brochures, did you follow-up with the people you gave brochures to? Following up with your customers is a way that you can offer great customer service. A few days after you’ve given someone a brochure, reach out to them to see if they have any questions about any of the items. Ask if there’s anything they’d like to try a sample of. (If you don’t have that sample on hand, you can order it when you place your first order.) Point out a great deal, an item you think they’d love, or an item you can’t wait to try. Be conversational and enthusiastic about the products, then ask if there’s anything they’d like to order this campaign. Collect their order.
3. Let’s say you make that follow-up call, and they are still not interested in ordering this campaign:

3. Let’s say you make that follow-up call, and they are still not interested in ordering this campaign:
- Give them another brochure next campaign anyway. Maybe they weren’t interested in this campaign. That doesn’t mean they’ll never be interested.
- Ask them if they would be willing to pass that brochure onto someone they know who might be interested. Offer them a thank you gift or discount on a future order, if the person they pass the brochure onto places an order.
3. Have you faced customers who tell you they’re not interested because they don’t wear make-up or they use a different brand of skincare? Hand them the brochure anyway. Tell them to take a look. They will be surprised how many other things Avon offers, besides cosmetics and skincare. There are items for the home, clothing, beautiful jewellery, and more!
4. Perhaps you’ve encountered someone who is worried about how the skincare items will work for them or how the clothing will fit or whether the shade of lipstick is the right shade for them? Tell them about Avon’s product guarantee. They can return or exchange any product for any reason at all within 90 days of purchase. It’s risk-free for them to give it a try.

Go LIVE on Facebook to show everyone the products which came in your starter kit. Tell them what you love about the products as you give them a try.
6. Incentivize your potential customers to become one of your first customers. Offer a free gift with first-order or a little discount on their first order. Everybody loves free gifts and discounts. Call it a Grand Opening special!!
7. Businesses often have Grand Opening events! Your business should have one too! Your event can be whatever you want it to be. Hold a little girls night at your home and invite friends over to sample the products and shop the brochures. You might also choose to hold an online party to introduce everyone you know to Avon’s great products! Whatever you choose to do, have fun with it.
8. Look for customers outside of the friends and family you already know. When I take a look at the customer list I’ve built during my past few years with Avon, most of my regular customers are people I did not know before I started selling Avon. I met them as a result of selling Avon! Look for opportunities to meet new people and expand your customer base.

You can meet new customers by asking your friends and family for referrals, doing vendor events, sticking a “Buy or Sell Avon” sign in your yard, sticking an Avon decal/magnet on your car, wearing an Avon logo item while you’re out and about, leaving brochures in waiting rooms, etc.
