3 Avon Brochure Tips Your Upline Doesn't Know

This first appeared in my email list, Secret Bird Calls. If you'd like to join the private (free!) list, please enter your email in the little form on the right sidebar. A new Secret Bird Call is going out this weekend, with more tips you've never heard anywhere else! Plus a few fun surprises!

Here are three fun ways I get my brochures opened by my potential customers:

1. Make your Avon brochures part of the local news!

Is your customer a mom of school-aged children? Tape the weekly lunch menu to the front of the brochure! If she (or he) is a sports nut, tape the local teams' schedules to the book.

The list here is endless - timely, useful bits of news and local goings on will give your Avon customer an incentive to open your brochure. I usually include more information inside - the weekly weather report, a list of cultural events.

I can't tell you how many times my Avon customers thank me for this information! In fact, they begin to rely on it! They will look for that biweekly brochure so that they will know what the Middle School is serving Tuesday for hot lunch!

2. Surprise your potential customer with a bit of adult intrigue...

You can wrap your brochure in plain construction paper, and then add a funny joke or saying to the cover. Your potential customer won't know what to think! It is some kind of new, strange adult magazine?! She will have a great laugh when she rips open the paper cover and discovers an Avon brochure. If you've added a personalized note under the paper cover, I guarantee she'll keep opening and opening.

3. Make your customer laugh with a little bit of kid humor!

I often add "googly eyes" to the cover of my brochure, especially when the cover shot is a beautiful model. I glue googly craft eyes over the pupils of Ms. Perfect, and then add a funny caption underneath.

Your customer will open that book! She will want to know what ELSE you might have done!
