Then you need to come join* our Facebook Group!!!
As of today there are 3,574 other Avon Representatives from around the world . . . YES . . . from around the world in Karen's Cafe. They are from the US, Canada, UK, Australia and various other places.
Karen's Cafe is a safe, DRAMA FREE group where you can share what you know about the Avon business and how to make your businesses grow. Or you can come here to learn how to run your Avon business successfully. If you have a question, post it in Karen's Cafe and you will get several responses sometimes in seconds.
Karen's Cafe was started when I couldn't find any answers to my questions when I first started my Avon business. I was even new to Facebook and saw that we had these things called "Groups". So I did some searches in them but still couldn't find any that were very active or that answered my questions. I don't have an upline or District Manager that is very helpful so I decided to start a group just to see what would happen and called it Avon Cafe. Holy Cow!!! After about a year, it took of like blazes!!!
However, in October of 2013 Avon Cafe was about to be changed forever. A lady from the Avon Corporate office called me and, politely, told me that I had to take AVON out of my group name. They loved the idea of my group . . . I just couldn't use Avon in the name and she gave me until the end of the week to get it done. . . . because . . .

- I was in the middle of doing my taxes (yep . . . can you say procrastination?)
- Since the group had over 250 members, I couldn't just change the name of it. We had to start a new group and move all the files, photos and members . . . 3,000 of them . . . to the new group.
We put it up to a vote as to what the new group would be called. It was unanimous that it be called Karen's Cafe. It was not my first choice because I really did't want my name to be on it. This was OUR group . . . not MY group. But I lost . . . everyone else voted for Karen's Cafe. So that is what it has been since October 2013 and we are continuing to grow. It has taken a year and a half to build the group back up to the 3,000 members we had in the old group. We lost a lot during the switch. Some were no longer Avon representatives and others just were not active an didn't hear about the switch. This allowed us to re-start with a FRESH group of Avon representatives that all wanted to be in the group. It was so AWESOME to have these ladies all come to the rescue of the group and help make the switch so that we didn't lose such a wonderful tool for us to use in our Avon businesses. It was a daunting task but we did it and we survived!!
I hope to see you there soon, Karen Whitney
*Must be an ACTIVE Avon representative to join. Please have something Avon'y that is posted PUBLICLY on your timeline, your "About" page or in your photos, so that the admins of the group can add you without delay. If they don't see anything that pertains to Avon, they will delete your request. Which will delay your acceptance into this great group.
If you have any questions about becoming an Avon representative, send me an email. Use MAKEUP GONE BAD in the subject line.
Or find me on FACEBOOK . . . Your Makeup Lady & Recruiter
