Avon: “It’s Easy Money”

Nail techs are notoriously shy about selling retail, but not Brenda Bollard, the owner of Bren’s Nails in Conroe, Texas. According to Brenda, selling Avon products is “easy money.” She simply keeps a brochure on her nail table and her clients shop while they are having their nails done. She also has a website that clients can go to 24/7 to browse or place an order. 

“There is a new campaign with new items and sales every two weeks so every time a client comes in for her two-week fill, I have a new brochure on my table to entice her,” she says.

 

“I don’t have to deliver, because their order is waiting for them the next time that they come in the salon. Avon has make-up, jewelry, skincare, fragrance, purses, shoes, clothes, gift items, men’s items — something for everyone. And I don’t have to keep any inventory. The  greatest thing is that Avon pays to ship my order to me.” 

 

Sounds like a sweet deal to me.

I am happy for her to be making some extra money. I have always had a hard time understanding MaryKay or Avon in the salon as they are not salon exclusive products and clients can get them almost anywhere. I have always felt that salons should offer professional retail that is exclusive to salons as part of brand recognition, creditability, and professionalism. More and more salons seem to be moving away from that though so maybe my ideal of the professional product only salon is outdated. With diversion and certain stores putting salons in to get around carrying pro products, it is difficult to have products exclusive to salons anyway I guess.
