A Creative Idea to Sell More Avon!

sarah beth buckley

Who has heard of the Ipsy Glam Bag or a Bark Box?  These subscription services are flooding my Facebook news feed and I thought, how can I profit off this idea?  Why not come up with my own Avon sampling service that offers full size products and samples for a set price delivered to a customer’s door every month?  Genius, right?!

1. I came up with a name for my service: Beauty Box

2. I decided on a set price that would include shipping: $15

3. I advertised on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and made flyers to put in my customers’ bags to see if anyone would even be interested in such a service.  I got a few interested people so I decided to run with it.

4. I made a questionnaire on SurveyMonkey to customize my customers’ Beauty Boxes to their specific color preferences for products such as lipstick, eye…

New Year Planner

I’m a dork. I loooooove buying planners, office supplies, school supplies. Anything to help me keep organized, and doing a great job. I came across this notebook on Pinterest, and I’m in love! But $50??!! I don’t know that I can justify this? It’s not reusable after the year is up. So I think Martha Stewart has similar items at Staples. It’s a binder and you buy the inserts to fit your needs. So that way when the year is up, I just need to take out the calandar to replace.
My Scentsy business is starting to take off and with two bag parties planned for the month of January, I’ll be starting the New Year with an bang! I’m excited!

Scentsy wax – non toxic and stain free!

Smells Like Home-My Life as an Independent Scentsy Consultant

I love when a customer lets me know one of the many ways they love their Scentsy products. This particular person spilled some melted wax across her white wooden table. She was so impressed with how easy it was to clean, and that it didn’t leave a stain! She sent me a picture. I may love this product but it’s something I can stand behind as well, and show proof!

Customer Loyalty Cards

I just came across this idea from a fellow consultant Facebook page. Great idea! ( had I started out 9 months ago). So this month I’ve been busy making these cards, and backtracking my customers orders to give them their stars. It’s been time consuming but it won’t be hard to track after today! I got the purple index card holder at the Dollar Tree. I printed out the loyalty cards onto paper and just glued down to index cards. I will use the back side to note the date they received their free bar so I can make sure I did give it to them. I think my customers will really appreciate this gesture, and hope they spread the word when they meet someone who wants to buy Scentsy!

Samples

Making samples can be quite easy and it’s a fun way to entice people to buy a particular scent or introduce newbies to Scentsy!
I can make about 24 samples from one bar of wax. I bought the small baggies from Michaels, and I’ve bought them from Amazon before too. The best molds are silicone ones. The sample pops right out with no fuss . I bought this one on Ebay for $1.25. I always label each sample with my info, the name of the sample, and a warning that it’s not food or candy! Although what I do love about our wax, us that it’s non toxic. Just ask my friend Jaana ;). I slice one cube three ways and place inside each heart. I microwave it about 2 minutes. Pop into freezer and wait about 10 minutes. They are then ready to bag! I pass them out with…
