From Door-to-Door to a Click of a Mouse Now, Comes the Avon Cyber Rep

Whilst thousands of Representatives have began their chime-ringing careers with Avon selling the company products to consumers, promoting the self-employed business opportunities with Avon, this has been mainly through the traditional brochure door-to-door method. However with the phenomenal growth of the internet it has indeed "changed the tune of Avon's Calling."

(PRWEB) February 18, 2006 -- The Avon company which has staggering 180,0000 self-employed representatives in the UK alone, has certainly come a long way since its founder, David McConnell, launched Avon Calling in 1886 in America which offered women cosmetics in the comfort and privacy of their own homes.

'Ding Dong - Avon's Calling' is synonymous world-wide with the Avon brand. The company has a global annual turnover of $7.7 billion and markets in over 143 countries this global success has undoubtedly been attributed to company’s ‘self – employed Representatives’

Whilst thousands of Representatives have began their chime-ringing careers with Avon selling the company products to consumers, promoting the self-employed business opportunities with Avon, this has been mainly through the traditional brochure door-to-door method. However with the phenomenal growth of the Internet it has indeed 'changed the tune of Avon's Calling.'

A-Reps a new web site recently launched by two Welsh Women offers an interactive directory network to the vast army of Avon's door-to-door representatives, and members of the public with a click of mouse, can simply contact their local 'Avon Representatives'.

Avon has always been a pioneering company from its early beginnings and leads the way in direct seller of beauty and related products, "....we looked to mirror Avon's inventiveness by us uniquely offering online, an immediate and convenient way of finding 'your local Avon Representative'. Consumers can hear about the products, order brochures, or ask for an Avon rep to visit them. For those interested in the Avon business opportunity they can contact a representative all by a click of mouse and from the comfort of their home, 24/7", say Maralyn Smith & Jean Bartlett, A-Reps founders.

As well as A-Reps offering the online platform for Representatives to market and promote the Avon brands and Avon business opportunities for those looking for a home business, there are a range of services and facilities which the sites registered Representatives can receive. A-Reps has been developed to offer an easy transition to allow for non-techies to promote themselves and their businesses online.

Avon self-employed Representatives come from all walks of life and for many they have not worked with technology or the internet, however they have been extremely successful via traditional direct selling methods. Indeed Rebekah Testar, is amongst Avon's high flyers, with her team turnover reaching £1.5 million in 2005, and as Rebekah quoted, 'I now earn as much commission in a week as I earned in a month when I worked full time in a building society, a lot of lipstick.'
