Featured Client - Avon

Avon, one the most successful and recognizable brands in the Direct Sales industry, came to Solution X in January of 2005 interested in creating a simple sales website for Avon Representatives.

Of course, we were honored to begin creating these personal websites for their representatives. As our relationship with this industry giant grew and their trust in our team developed, more upgrades and tools were requested.

Working closely with their team, Solution X launched Avon's replicating personal websites in July of 2005 with great success. A Spanish version followed in August of 2005, an invoicing tool launched in June of 2006 and then, in 2007, the mark sites were released.

As more and more Representatives became familiar with our user-friendly system, plans for releasing District Manager websites on our platform were made. In August of 2008, these leadership sites were tested and launched with great success.

Currently, the Avon website system is being used by 175,000+ Avon Representatives proving that the right synergistic collaboration between client and provider will result in amazing and duplicatable results.

We are proud to offer our services to a company as respected as Avon and will continue to offer them, and all our clients, our absolute best every day. The Avon family exhibits the vision and integrity we strive for in all our partnerships.

AVON + Solution X + Facebook =

Solution X recently teamed up with AVON in a push toward social networking tools. Among them are badges and applications for representatives on Facebook, the most popular and visited social network on the Internet.

Within a couple months of launch, the applications garnered just under 30,000 downloads. Positive chatter continues to spread among the AVON ranks about how Facebook is becoming another recruiting tool for reps, with Solution X applications leading the way.

But don't just take our word for it. Here's what actual AVON reps are saying:

"Since I've added the Facebook Badge and storefront to my Facebook page, I have recruited 2 new Avon representatives and my sales have gone up by 25% because friends and family whom I hadn't been in touch with in years, have noticed the AVON logo on my Facebook page. I've also been able to reach out to business owners in my Facebook network and now I am leaving Avon books in hair and nail salons in my local area. Facebook and AVON are really helping me put my face on the AVON map!"

"I opened my facebook account earlier this fall and have gotten in touch with so many people from my 'earlier' years. I have clearly identified myself as an AVON Executive Unit Leader and have utilized the badges AVON's website offered to me. In just the past few months alone, I've received questions from my facebook "friends" regarding my AVON business, a request for a fundraiser and have even been in touch with an old friend regarding starting her own business (in fact, I met with her today).

Facebook has become another recruiting tool for me that I'm exploring and experimenting with regularly. I check it everyday and make sure I get back to any questions promptly. I also ran an incentive with my downline for the first 25 unit members to join Facebook and invite me as a friend. Then, I would suggest other AVON friends to them in order to build a large AVON Facebook community for us. I use the Wall tool to announce milestones and share product information and testimonials.

Unit members who have never met are congratulating each other and emailing each other. We can see pictures of each other's families which brings us all closer together. Facebook friends that are not even part of AVON join in the congratulatory chit chat and cheer us on, as well. You never know where you next recruit or customer may come from... that's why we keep looking wherever we go! I know that online social networking like this will lead to more business for me and my unit ... I am very excited to watch it grow!"

"I love that Avon has given us the Badges and the Mini Store Front on Facebook. I have been reconnecting on there with some customers that I don't often see or communicate with. Two of them have ordered with me since hooking up on Facebook. I look forward to having more time to search for old friends on Facebook to reunite with and possibly add them to my Avon Customer base or Downline as well."
