Go Matte!

The newest wearable trend is a matte look in makeup. Of course, we've been using pressed or loose powder for a matte look for decades, but getting a true matte look in lipstick has not been easy....until now. Avon's new Perfectly Matte Lipstick "never cakes, cracks, or compromises." This 100% true matte look lipstick with True Color Technology seals in moisture and has a weightless, velvety-smooth feel with lasting comfort.


https://www.avon.com/product/55157/-/?s=FeaturedProducts&c=repPWP&otc=201605&repid=40613880&setlang=en

There are 12 shades available for every skin tone and occasion: Coral Fever, Red Supreme, Adoring Love, Electric Pink, Ideal Lilac, Ravishing Rose, Pure Pink Perfectly Nude, Marvelous Mocha, Hot Plum, Wild Cherry, and Superb Wine. Here is a video on the making of the lipstick.) (It may bring back memories of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, or at least it did for me. I used to love to watch those videos on how things were made.)

To get a complete matte look, we also have five new True Color Matte Eyeshadow Quads: On the Vine, Tenderness, Tranquility, Smoke and Fog, and Desert Sunset. This tutorial will help you with application of both the matte eye shadow and the matte lipstick and has some suggestions for Avon Representatives to share with their customers.

So, are you ready now to join the matte trend? It's chic, polished, sophisticated, and effortlessly beautiful, and it's all from Avon!!

C4 Cloud Climbers Unit Newsletter

This is the newsletter for I write for my downline each campaign. You may read it to see how we are doing. :)

Greetings!

How nice it is to have a sunny day! I'm just waiting for the temperature to rise a little more before I head out to take advantage of it to do some customer searching in a nearby neighborhood. I prefer to go without a jacket, so I need it to be a few degrees warmer. It looks like 1:00 is going to be my target goal. :) That will give me time to get this newsletter done and my invoices for C5 printed and ready for the order when it arrives tomorrow.

I'm pushing for $1,000 orders each campaign during the time frame for entries into the sweepstakes to win the Mercedes, since that is the requirement for someone in Rose Circle. My C5 order fell a little short of that goal, but I see that I already have $269 in credit for eCustomer orders at my eStore, so that will carry me over the goal. Have you checked to see what you need to do to get entries into the sweepstakes? We all have different goals, and we can all earn entries, so make sure you know what you need to do! In addition to the Mercedes, there is the opportunity to win one of these great prizes: 


 


Do you promote your eStore? Do you have the link to it on every brochure you give out? Do you have it in your signature at the bottom of your emails? Do you post it on your social media sites at least once every campaign? You never know who might be wanting to order Avon and prefer to order for direct shipment, and Avon has a lot of offers that are for eCustomers only. How often do you order what you need online? I much prefer online ordering to going to a physical store and I know many other people do to. Plus, there are places where people don't have good representatives giving them personalized service the way you service your customers and they need Avon products too. Make sure everyone you know knows your eStore link. I want to see more people reported as having Direct Delivery orders than just the one or two that I see each campaign, because I want you earning more money. There are 40+ Cloud Climbers and the only two with eStore orders in C4 were myself and Susanne Walters. Don't forget about the extra offers Avon has for you to earn with eStore orders, like the free Anew Clinical Line Eraser with Retinol you will get with $100 in DD orders from February 13-20. I earned the last item (Daydreams) and I plan to earn this one too, so I've got a little more promoting of my eStore to do myself!! When you earn items like these you can use them yourself, use them as samplers, sell them at full price, offer them at a discount to good customers, give as gifts to your helpers, etc. You have no money invested in them, so think about ways you can use them to further your business.

Top 9 in Sales for C4   (I only report those with sales over $100)
 1. Rene Parker   PC
 2. Gladys Faulk 3. Susanne Walters
 4. Brenda Taylor
 5. Amy Odell
 6. Steffanie Erdelt
 7. Barbie Breen
 8. Darren Manahan
 9. Sharon Tibbs
I'm happy to see a couple of my Climbers on the District Leadership Recognition Boards this campaign. Rene Parker is #4 in Sales Increase for Top PC Reps and Ruby Nunnery is #4 in Sales in Top Non-PC Reps.

We added two new potential Cloud Climbers this campaign. Avon does not count them as "official" reps. until they turn in a first order and pay for it, but I have no doubt that these two will be official soon. Welcome to Avon and to the Cloud Climbers, Franchesca Perez and Michelle Watkins! (Michelle is actually a former Cloud Climber who is restarting her business and I'm glad to have her back.)
Out of 40 active representatives in C4, only 25 had orders. That's better than 50%, but I'd sure like to see it be at least 85%. Of course, it is great that you can make this business whatever you want it to be and if you only want to turn in an order every third campaign you can do that, but remember that you might lose customers to other reps. who turn in orders regularly if you don't. Most customers don't want to have to wait 6 weeks for what they order to be delivered, and this business is all about making the customer happy. Also, if you aren't turning in an order, don't forget to make your payment for the previous order before a late fee is added. The first late fee is now $10, rather than the $5 fee we had for a long time.

I received notice yesterday that the President's Club Tribute will be Tuesday, May 3, 11:00 a.m., at the Marriott at Tranquility Base. I hope that Rene Parker will be able to make it to the event to celebrate with me. Sometimes Honor Society members and above are given the privilege of bringing a guest and I'm curious to know if any of you would be interested in being my guest if that opportunity arises? Let me know and I'll see what I can do about it. If more than one is interested, I'll decide how to choose. The lunch is always wonderful and you could see how nicely Avon rewards those who work hard to build their businesses.

Make it a great day!

C5 Customer Reminder - Downline Version

Every campaign I send a reminder to my customers that I am about to turn in an Avon order. Since my regular orders are turned in on a Tuesday night, I try to get my reminder to my customers no later than Sunday. Before I send it to my customers, I send a copy to my Cloud Climbers team so that they can tweak, cut and paste, etc., to create a reminder for their customers. I like to do this because many of my team members work full time and this saves them a bit of time as well as reminds them to contact their customers before the order is due.

Here is my reminder for Campaign 5, just as I sent it to my team:

Good day to you! I was out of town for the first half of the week and I'm playing catch up now. Between having a cold that sends me to blow my nose every few minutes (which also requires washing of hands), and having three cats wanting in and out of the house every few minutes, playing catch up is not easy. I am determined to get this reminder out before noon, so we shall see how that goes.

Here are some of the best buys for C5. It's our "Treat Yourself SALE" and almost all color cosmetic items Avon makes are specially priced.

  • Pg. 7, Perfectly Matte Lipstick is being introduced at $5.99. It's available in 12 shades for a 100% true matte look.
  • Pg. 9, To go with your matte lipstick you need one or more of our 5 True Color Matte Eyeshadow Quad combinations while they are at Best Offer Ever of $4.99. If you prefer the non-matte look, those quads are available at the same price.
  • Pg. 11, Mega Effects Mascara is LPE of $6.99.
  • Pg. 15, Glimmersticks for Eyes, Brows, and Lips are lowest price ever of $2.99 each. Many of my customers are fans of these retractable, self-sharpening pencils.
  • Pg. 17, Always on Point Eye Liner is LPE of $3.49.
  • Pg. 18/19, Mascaras, mascaras, mascaras! And all on sale. Make your best decision on which to buy and if you are not satisfied I will exchange it for another or refund your money.
  • Pg. 37, All Makeup Brushes are 50% off. I think I'll add an eyeliner brush to my collection.
  • Pg. 38, Here it is...Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover Lotion is at LPE of .99. Don't miss your chance to stock up!
  • Pg. 41-47, if you missed the Anew You event last campaign, you can still get your Anew Day Cream, Night Cream, and Eye Treatment at their Lowest Price Ever. Prices vary depending on product line.
  • Pg. 54, I know you many of you will soon be spending more time outdoors, so be ready to face the sun by purchasing Anew Clinical Skinvincible Day Lotion with SPF50 + Antioxidants and Deep Recovery Cream for nighttime repair while they are buy one get one free.
  • Pg. 58, Most Clearskin items are any 2 for $7.00.
  • Pg. 65, Rare Pearls (scent spot on page) and Rare Diamonds are LPE of $9.99 each.
  • Pg. 67, Take note that Avon Luck for Her (scent spot on page) was a CEW Insiders' Choice Beauty Awards Finalist for 2015. You can get both the Eau de Parfum Spray and the Body Lotion for $20.
  • Pg. 77, Introducing a new fragrance for him based on a best selling fragrance, Black Suede Sport (scent spot on page). You get the Eau de Toilette Spray, After Shave Conditioner, and Hair & Body Wash - all 3 for $16.00. Why not make it a late VDay present?
  • Pg. 85, Here's a tidbit of info you won't be aware of unless you are an Avon representative. The jewelry collections that have been featured in the brochure over the past few campaigns and will continue to be featured for awhile are dedicated to various Avon divisions around the USA. This campaign the Majestic Beauty Collection honors the Majestic Division. You'll find necklaces, earrings, rings, and a bracelet in a royal hue at special prices.
  • Pg. 131, I imagine by now that you are aware that Lavender is a fragrance that promotes relaxation and sleep. Our newest item for the Foot Works Lavender collection is 3-in-1 Pampering Oil and you can get it for .99 with any 2 Foot Works purchases from pages 132-133. Since the Foot Works products on those two pages are any 2 for $6.99, you really don't want to miss this opportunity!!
  • Pg. 137, Naturals (soon to be renamed Senses) Hydrating Shower Gels are half price at $1.99 each.

Well, I didn't make my noon deadline, and yes it was mostly due to those cats and my cold, but I didn't miss it by much! I hope you have a great weekend and meet all the goals you have set for your Avon business in Campaign 5. Watch for my newsletter for C4 which will be coming soon to your email inbox.

Hello from Henderson

Let me tell you that I am just about worn out, as in my body is physically tired. It is one of my traditions to come to Henderson, Tennessee, every year for the first full week of February to attend and work in the FHU Bible Lectureship. Freed-Hardeman University is a school that is dear to my heart for many reasons, including the fact that it is the alma mater of both myself and my daughter. My daughter was blessed to attend on a full scholarship and now we both work with the FHU Associates, a group of ladies who love Freed as much as we do, to raise scholarship funds so that other students might attend. 

The annual Bible lectureship is also near and dear to my heart for many reasons, including the fact that it is what the name says, a BIBLE lectureship. Getting to combine my work for the Associates with attending lectures, being updated on the work of the Lord being done around the world, picking up a few good books to read, renewing old friendships, and making new friends makes this week one of the best weeks of my year...but it is tiring! 

Meanwhile, because my Avon eStore (www.youravon.com/smoore) remains open, business can go on while I am away. What a blessing the Internet is during weeks like this one. And now I've got to get out of this dorm room and get back to enjoying the Lectureship.

Can Spring be far Behind?

"Oh wind, if Winter comes, Can Spring be far behind?" That's a line you have probably heard at some time in your life. It comes from "Ode to the West Wind" by Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1792-1822, which is now in the public domain. And it's true, because God said so! As recorded in Genesis 8:22 when He spoke to Noah after the flood, God promised: "While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease." There's comfort in knowing that no matter had cold and blustery the winter, spring is not far behind.

Avon wants to "Fast Forward to Spring" and has created a new sweepstakes at my eStore. When you sign in and select "Shop Now" you will be taken to a page where you can begin selecting your favorite items or see what new items are in my store. Scroll down that page slightly until you see this:

https://www.avon.com/fast-forward-to-spring-sweepstakes

This gift set includes travel-size Anew Vitale Day Cream SPF25 and Vitale Gel Cleanser, Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover Lotion, Anew Power Serum premium sample, Dew Kiss Lip Dew, Naturals vanilla scented antibacterial hand gel, and stylish striped Avon Train Case - a $24.99 value. No purchase is necessary to enter.

I'm not sure how many gift sets Avon is giving away this time, but they have been doing these type of sweepstakes for several months and I believe there will be at least 10 winners. One thing I appreciate about these sweepstakes is that even Independent Avon Sales Representatives (like me) can enter. 

And speaking of Spring, I have just seen a preview of the new Avon Signature Collection coming out this spring and it is pretty exciting. There will be lots of outfits and coordinating accessories and I'll tell you all about those as the time they are available comes closer. Be sure to subscribe to this blog to be the first to know about What's New!!

C4 Avon Cloud Climbers Team Newsletter

This is my newsletter for my Cloud Climbers Team. I write one every campaign to stay in touch with them. 

Hello All!

I'm getting more and more excited about the great things that are happening this spring with Avon. I imagine by now you have seen the car that we all have a chance of winning, and have read about what you need to do to get your entries in. We've had cars won in our area in the past, and we can do it again!! If I get it, I'm selling it and buying a metallic red SUV to do my deliveries in. There's also good news about EZ returns coming in March, and you can read about it early on the Cloud Climbers Avon Unit FB page. (Here's a hint: Avon will be saving you some money every month.)

Sales are improving as we move toward Valentine's Day, as I knew they would. I'm happy to once again be able to have 10 people on this list, all with sales over $100. The top 8 had sales over $150, with Rene Parker leading with sales of over $450!!

Top Ten in Sales

 1. Rene Parker  PC
 2. Darren Mannahan
 3. Gladys Faulk
 4. Lacey Harmon
 5. Steffanie Erdelt
 6. Brenda Taylor
 7. Benetta Staten
 8. Barbie Breen
 9. Susanne Walters
10. Shawn Willie

We've rolled into February, and several are celebrating Avon Anniversaries this month: Nikia Banks (5 years on 2/3), Susanne Walters (2 years on 2/12), Ruby Nunnery(36 years! on 2/14), Claire Philadelphia (23 years on 2/19), and Virginia Washington (7 years on 2/23). Congratulations for sticking with your Avon businesses through the sunny and cloudy days! I'm glad you are on my team and hope you stay for many more years. 

Birthdays are always pretty special, and we have a few of those in February as well:  Angie Price on 2/13, Rene Parker on 2/16, Benetta Staten on 2/24, Annie Watts on 2/25, and Magalis Justiniano on 2/26. Hmmm, I wonder which one is the senior partner? I know all of these except Annie, whom I've never met, so I can't say for sure.

We have no new team members to report this campaign, but I'm expecting one to sign online at my Start Avon link today. You do know that you have a "Start Avon" link, don't you? Try typing in the part of your eStore URL that comes after the slash (for me it is smoore) and then type .avonrepresentative.com/opportunity/start and see what comes up. You can also type it with .avonrepresentative.com/opportunity and see that site. The first one goes directly to the signing page while the second one lets them look at the details and then move to the signing page. Those links take Potential Recruits to the StartAvon.com sites, but they are pre-filled with your links so that the PRs would be signing directly with you. If they go to StartAvon.com you have to give them your code, (which is that same thing after the / in your URL) to make sure they are signed under you. 

Speaking of your URL, did you see that you can earn a free bottle of the newest fragrance for women, Daydream, by having $100 in orders at your eStore this week? The offer is good from yesterday through Weds. and I expect to get mine because I have a new customer who ordered $70 worth of product yesterday, so I only need one more $30 order and I'm promoting the free gifts with purchase and the free shipping offers this week. I don't know who she is, but I'm guessing I left an Avon book at her house when I was doing a customer search recently. 

Looks like we have dark clouds on the horizon, weather-wise, so stay safe! Speaking of which, go to the Cloud Climbers Facebook page to see a photo you can use to promote your eStore when the weather is bad.

Thanks so much for being on my team!!

Best Buys of C4 - Anew You!

My C4 order is due Tuesday night before 8:00 p.m., but you do not have to wait until Tuesday to give me your order. :) One of my customers asked me the best time to call me, which was a reminder that I haven't mentioned my contact methods lately. I am usually home working on housework, at the computer, etc., from 8:00 a.m. until at least 1:00 p.m., so you can generally reach me by phone (256-721-9400) during those hours. The answering machine is always on, so if that time is not good for you, call me anytime before 8:00 p.m. You can also text your order to my cell (256-479-4061), email your order, or place it at my eStore website (www.youravon.com/smoore) and choose representative delivery if you want me to deliver your order. I'm also working on building up my eStore business for direct delivery to people all over the country, so I'd be thrilled if you shared that website link with your friends and family both near and far.
