Tried and True Ways to Find New Customers

There are many ways to grow your sales, but the most surefire way to grow your sales (and earn more $$$) is to… FIND NEW CUSTOMERS!!

I asked my team members to share their favorite strategies for finding new customers.

These are the tried-and-true strategies they shared:

• Post pictures of yourself using the products to show the evident results. Follow up with brochures to everyone who comments. – Steph B.
• Offer your current customers a friend-referral discount if they bring you an order from someone they know. – Maritza M.
• Ask a friend to take a few brochures to share with their friends, family, or co-workers. – Steph B.
• Leave a small stack of brochures (with a FREE! Take Me Home label on the front) in places like laundromats and waiting rooms. – Carol W.
• Attach a suction cup hook to your car window when you’re in the parking lot. Hang brochures in clear literature bags from the hook. – Steph B.
• When leaving brochures in waiting rooms, offer the receptionist a brochure and free sample pack as a thank you.  – Carol W.
• Leave a few brochures in each of the ladies restrooms in your office building. – Cindy F.
• Talk to anyone you can about Avon. – Maritza M.
• Post flyers in public places, like the bank or library. – Steph B.
• Always make sure to have brochures, samples, and business cards on hand to pass out when the opportunity arises. – Sammie M.
• Give Avon products and samples (and a brochure) to the hostess of events you attend as a thank you gift. – Sammie M.

• Get to know your potential customers and personalize your contacts with them. For example, contact people you know who are interested in health and wellness about Espira. – Christine K.
• Be a walking, talking billboard for Avon products. Wear the jewelry, use the skin care, drink the protein shakes! Let everyone see the beauty of Avon products. – Christine K.
• Utilize helpers! If you have a friend or family member who might enjoy a discount on their own products, ask them to pass out a few brochures for you in return. (Your helper may even become your first team member!) – Karen J.
