Avon uses independent representatives to market their products because it allows Avon to sell their products at a lower price and also provides income for people who want to have their own work from home business.Selling in shops raises the price of products because a company must pay employees (and employee benefits) and travel expenses for the employees to go all over to the retail shops to make sales calls to try to convince the shops to put the products on their shelves. Sometimes the retail stores also expect the company who makes the product to provide a merchandiser to set up and maintain the store displays and keep the shelves stocked. Then the retail shop charges the customer who buys something in their store an additional 50%-100% to make their profit.By selling through independent reps Avon eliminates the cost of employees and their travel costs. They eliminate the cost of buying displays to put in a retail store or paying someone to stock and re-stock shelves. They also don t need to take back and issue as much credit for damaged goods. (Even goods that are shipped and arrive at the store in good condition and are later damaged in the store are returned for credit.)Independent reps working from home have much lower business costs than a retail store, so the retail price can stay lower than it would be if the product was sold in a store.
It s a great marketing tactic.... by having individuals doing all the advertising and retailing of their products, Avon does not have to employ all those people, doesn t have to pay all those benefits, and doesn t have to do near as much advertising since all the individual reps will do what they can do promote the products they sell. And as for them trying to sell you more product than you need, that s just sales in general. Go to any store, it s the same thing.
You can buy mark stuff online, it s the same company as Avon. OR, some flea markets aka swap meets sell Avon!
Actually Avon does have their own store that you can buy from. As for the people trying to get you to buy more it is because they make a commission off of what they sell so they try to sell as much as possible.
because they use direct marketing system
just buy em online
