5 BEST TOOLS FOR YOUR AVON BUSINESS

AVON ON APP

Our lives are digital, and so is your Avon business. The Avon On app is your virtual office, designed to revolutionize the way you run your Avon business. This is hands down one of the best tools for your Avon business.

With just a few taps, you can check out your Avon Rewards levels, view the latest incentives, find product info and place your orders effortlessly.

And the best part? You get instant notifications, so you’re always in the loop. So you can manage your Avon business from the palm of your hand no matter where you are.

Pros:

  • Efficient Order Management: Easily browse through product catalogs, place orders, and track deliveries in real-time.
  • Instant Notifications: You’ll get up-to-the-minute info on new product launches or business news and notifications if there are issues with your orders.

CONS

  • Learning Curve: For some reps there might be a learning curve associated with the Avon ON app. While the interface is user-friendly, the initial adjustment period could be longer with those who might be less tech savvy.
  • Limited Offline Functionality: The app’s reliance on an internet connection may be a drawback for some. That issue is resolved with the next tool on this list though! 🙂

FREE DATA WITH TELKOM LUMA

While being able to run your Avon business on the go is amazing, it comes with its own set of hurdles – having the data to go with it! And we all know that data bundles can be a significant expense in South Africa.

Enter Telkom Luma – a game-changer in the world of data solutions.

Telkom Luma offers a brilliantly reduced option for data bundles, giving your Avon business the breathing space it deserves.

CANVA

Canva

Canva is a superhero tool for Avon Reps. if you haven’t embraced this tool yet, you’re in for a treat.

As someone who’s been in the Avon game for over a decade, I get the need to stand out, to be more than just another face in the crowd of reps.

With Canva, you can unleash your creativity and craft personalized, eye-catching graphics that set you apart, and add value with your posts.

No more relying on the same company-supplied graphics that e-ver-ree-one uses!

From stunning social media posts, heartfelt customer thank you notes, brochure sticker designs, to even YouTube videos, Canva lets you create it all with ease. Plus, it’s mobile-friendly, so you can create these visuals right from your phone.

The best part? Canva is free forever.

PROS

  • User-Friendly Interface: Creating stunning visuals is easy with Canva’s user-friendly interface featuring drag-and-drop functionality, pre-designed templates, and a vast library of elements.
  • Free Forever: Canva offers their free account for life, no need to upgrade or pay to continue using the account.

CONS

  • Watermark on Free Elements: Canva offers a vast range of free elements, but some of the premium elements in designs will have a small Canva watermark on the final product.

CINCHSHARE

Now let’s chat about a real gem that’s about to make your social media game a whole lot easier.

Say hello to CinchShare – your social media sidekick!

CinchShare is the only social marketing scheduling platform built for direct sellers & loved by creators in any industry.

Imagine having a tool that not only lets you schedule posts in advance but also offers a library of pre-loaded graphics, Canva integration, and even support for Facebook parties.

CinchShare understands the hustle, making it a breeze to schedule batches of posts in seconds, so you can focus on what matters – connecting with your customers.

PROS

  • Post Scheduling and Automation: You can plan your social media content in advance, ensuring a consistent online presence, even during busy periods.
  • Time Efficiency: CinchShare’s batch posting feature allows you to schedule multiple posts across various platforms simultaneously, a fantastic time-saving feature.

CONS

  • Subscription Cost: While CinchShare offers a free trial, the full range of features comes with a monthly fee. For budget-conscious Avon reps, this might be a consideration, especially if you’re just starting.

WHATSAPP BUSINESS APP

whatsapp business app

If you’ve been an Avon Rep for a hot minute then you already know the importance of staying connected with your customers.

WhatsApp Business is more than just a messaging app; it’s a tool that lets you create a professional business profile with the option to share links to your online store and virtual brochure.

You can use it to quickly respond to customer inquiries, share product updates, and even set up automated messages for common queries.

But you may be wondering “why bother using the WhatsApp Business app when you already use WhatsApp personal?”

While the regular WhatsApp app is fantastic for personal use, it’s not meant for mass marketing, and disregarding this fact could lead to being banned from the platform.

Typically you may want to create groups and distribution lists for communicating with your customers and downline teams. If you were to do this with a personal WhatsApp account, your number could be flagged for spamming, as its in breach of the terms of service.

Secondly, the personal version lacks the business-specific features available on WhatsApp Business. This includes the ability to set up a dedicated business profile with essential details like business hours, location, and contact information.

Another great feature is that the WhatsApp app syncs seamlessly with WhatsApp Web, making it a powerhouse for managing your Avon business from your desktop.

No more toggling between your phone and computer – with WhatsApp Web, you can respond to customers, share product updates, and stay on top of your messages right from your computer screen.

To use the WhatsApp Web features, simply browse to web.whatsapp.com from your computer, and follow the on-screen prompts to login.

So, if you haven’t made the switch yet, it’s time to unlock the full potential of WhatsApp Business for your Avon journey in South Africa.

PROS

  • Automated Greetings and Responses: You can can create tailored messages to welcome customers or provide quick replies.
  • Labeling and Categorization: You can can label conversations based on customer preferences, order status, or any relevant category.
  • WhatsApp Web: WhatsApp Web seamlessly syncs with the WhatsApp app, making it easy to manage your Avon business from your desktop.

CONS

  • Dependency on Internet Connectivity: WhatsApp relies on an internet connection to send messages., although this issue will be eliminated with the Telkom Luma offer mentioned above.
