As of
September 2013, I have been selling Avon. Avon is a company that sells beauty,
skin care, bath, body, and home items to people worldwide. Avon has been
in my family for decades. My grandmother bought Avon frequently, my mom bought
and sold Avon when I was younger, my mom now
works for Avon as a DSM, and now I sell Avon. I have never used another type of
makeup, skin care, or bath product that is not Avon. Needless to say, I am
loyal to Avon.
When I left
home to attend K-State (the best school in the nation), I wanted a job that
would be flexible and that I would enjoy. I applied for jobs as soon as I moved
to Manhattan and found nothing. I had not thought of Avon until the end of
August because that was my only hope for some extra cash. I was desperate. I
called my mom as soon as I made my decision and she was up in Manhattan a
couple of days later to sign me up. Not only was I excited to start Avon
because I love ALL of their products but I was also excited because I was sort
of following in my mom’s footsteps and if anyone knows me, they know I want to
be as successful as my mom.
Not only was
I excited to start selling Avon because I love the products and wanted to share
that with everyone I knew but also because I was excited to represent a company
that has excellent values.
The
excellent values that Avon has are what makes them the company that they are.
Avon is known for so much more than makeup such as:
·
Avon
Foundation for Women
o
Breast
Cancer Crusade
§ The Avon Foundation for Women provides funding to breast cancer programs
that operate in three areas: scientific research, safety net access-to-care
programs for the medically underserved, and outreach programs focused on
education and screening.
o
Speak Out Against
Domestic Violence
§ The Avon Foundation for Women launched Speak Out
Against Domestic Violence as an initiative to build awareness, educate, and
improve prevention and direct service programs to bring domestic violence
issues out of the woods. Through the end of 2013, in the U.S. alone, Avon has
provided nearly $38 million for the domestic violence cause.
o
Emergency
Relief
§ Avon Products, Inc. and the Avon Foundation for
Women together responded quickly to national and international emergencies.
§ In 2014, Avon provided funds to World
Food Program for Typhoon Haiyan survivors. In 2013, Avon provided funds to the
United Way of Central Oklahoma May Tornadoes Relief Fund for tornado relief
efforts and Rebuilding Together for Hurricane Sandy rebuilding and relief
efforts.
Of course, I
had to research the programs that the Avon Foundation for Women and EVERYTHNG
that they do. But these are the reasons why I love Avon. Not only do they
empower me with great earnings and opportunities but Avon empowers women all
over the world. Avon inspires other women and myself to be the healthiest,
proud, brave, and confident women that we are all meant to be.
