Avon Products Sales Drop, Jobs Cut

According to an Associated Press wire report, Avon Products, Inc. announced that it will cut about 1, 200 positions by 2013 in a restructuring bid to deal with a poor economy that has lessened demand for its products.

And yet, Avon is advertising like never before on television, pushing for sales representatives, selling the dream that women can become financially independent, setting their own hours and growing their own businesses. How does Avon propose to these vulnerable women, hit hard by the recession, perhaps reeling from the loss of a job and maybe facing foreclosure of their homes, that they can grow a business selling products for which demand has lessened? Should they really be advertising for more representatives, knowing the demand is lower?

Well, why not? It doesn't hurt the company to have as many representatives as there are people on Earth, to be quite frank. Avon representatives are not actually employees of Avon (those jobs that are going to be slashed are the real employees: warehouse workers, office workers, managers); they are considered independent contractors. They receive no benefits, no guarantee of income, and they basically have to pay to sell the products. The Avon Products brochure, the well-known mini-catalog that drives most representative-to-customer sales, must be purchased at the representative's own cost; so must the demonstration products and all samples.

Avon holds forth that an Avon representative should become successful through both sales and recruiting, and yet Avon competes with its own reps by selling and recruiting directly, via its website and its toll-free telephone number. Furthermore, as I revealed in my prior article, "What They Don't Tell You About Selling Avon", the products are really not marketed to the consumer as much as to the representatives, who seem to be the real customers, as far as Avon is concerned.

I sold Avon for many years and was quite successful at it, and while I believe the quality of the products is high and the prices are reasonable, I am appalled at how unrealistic the dream is that Avon is selling. Of course there are some success stories, but so many more former Avon representatives have retired in debt and disillusioned, believing that they were somehow lacking, rather than the system that provided few ways to succeed. People trust Avon, a company that has been around for over a hundred years and has, indeed, provided many opportunities for women throughout their history, but these days, it's just business as usual.

do spas ever use avon products?
My mother has recently opened a salon/spa. And I am a licensed esthetician. I am wondering if any other spas use products like Avon as far as retailing and using them in a service? I know that they aren't the best compared to a lot of products out there. HOWEVER Most product lines require $1000+ to be involved with their products. Since my mom JUST opened and has put the front for all of the opening costs she isn't in the position to spend that much money on any products. If you have any tips or answers they certainly help!

Hunting Season
Hunting Season "Readers familiar with Barr's entertaining national park mystery series know that Anna rarely finds tranquility in God's country. Her fans can only be grateful that there are still plenty of national parks left for Anna Pigeon to visit." (People)

When Anna answers a call to historic Mt. Locust, once a producing plantation and inn on Mississippi's Natchez Trace Parkway and now a tourist spot, the last thing she expects to encounter is murder. But the man Anna finds in the stand's old bedroom is no tourist in distress. He's nearly naked, and very dead, his body bearing marks consistent with an S&M ritual gone awry. On a writing table nearby is an open Bible, ominous passages circled in red.

It seems the deceased is the brother of Raymond Barnette, local undertaker and a candidate for sheriff, who wants to keep any hint of kinkiness out of the minds of the God-fearing populace. Ray may be hiding a house full of secrets in the old family homestead, but before Anna can start her investigation, she's waylaid by malevolent poachers, peevish coworkers, and a suddenly turbulent romantic life. And when hidden agendas and old allegiances are revealed, it's suddenly Anna's life that's on the line.

Tightly plotted, brilliantly suspenseful, and beautifully written, Hunting Season offers solid evidence that mankind can be as unpredictable and dangerous as the great outdoors.
