Re: Marketing Avon

Thank you so much. that is one tip we didn't think of yet. My wife has
decided to go back to college so I am sure she can wear the badge there, and
drum up some customers from her college classes.

What store did she buy them from? We have a Kinkos in our area, but I am not
sure if they sell the badges.

Thanks again. Has your wife thought about any of the other oportunities Avon
has? We were in "leadership", but didn't do well it in (too many leadership
reps here). Now she is a Certified Beauty Adviser. She does well with that
because she is only 1 of 2  CBA's in the district.
