How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Career wise I have grown up in the world of business. I received an undergraduate and graduate degree in the business field. Through my experience working for Fortune 200 companies, I have recognized the value of providing service that not only meets my customer's expectations but surpasses it. Discretionary income for luxury items is minimal during these economic times, so when a customer finds an opportunity to splurge on themselves or a loved one, I want to make it worth their while.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
There are many choices when it comes to health and beauty products. It certainly is a buyers market and there are as many combinations of price and product as there are businesses. For the consumer it can be difficult to make the best decision for their needs.
The founding principle of my independent AVON business is to successfully unleash the ideal outer, inner and inspirational beauty in you. I achieve this goal by providing affordable, chic and quality products. I exist to offer you a choice of products and services to meet your unique needs as individual as you are. Appeal, sophistication and innovation is the guiding principle and this is how I choose to do business.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
The beauty of this independent Avon business is that technology is at the core of our distribution channel. You can place an order on-line, via phone, or by e-mail. Bricks and mortor locations mean more overhead to pass to the customer and my philosophy simply does not support that method of doing business.
