Today, I came a cross a home-based business opportunity that could be a lot of fun for the right person. Let me preface this by saying that I am definitely not the right person for this business opportunity, but you might be. I know that it is not a good fit for me because it involves selling cosmetics. Direct selling is certainly not my strong suit. Even though I can be quite persuasive, I prefer to direct my persuasive energies towards arguing on behalf of my clients in court or creating proposals that will win me the writing jobs that I want. Perhaps even more importantly, I am a very poor spokesperson for any type of cosmetics because I almost never wear makeup of any kind. Anyways, enough about me – let’s talk about you. If you like fresh, fun cosmetics then you may want to meet mark.
Mark is not some friend of mine that knows a lot about makeup, mark is a division of Avon, a company that has been in the beauty business for one hundred and twenty five years. A few years ago, mark was launched by Avon as a way for younger women to become involved in selling products that are tailored to their age group. The hottest new makeup looks, skin and body care, fun fragrances, and trendy accessories are all a part of mark’s product mix.
Women as young as age eighteen can sell mark products, which are not available for purchase at any retail stores. Women who become mark representatives use magazine-style catalogs (called magalogs) to advertise their products, and buyers can purchase the items that they want through their mark representative’s web site. There are a few things that can really make you feel good about selling mark products, too. Avon (and mark) products are not tested on animals. Also, mark’s m.powerment initiative is a philanthropic program that is committed to breaking the cycle of dating violence, a problem that affects many women in mark’s target age group. If you are a young woman who is interested in learning about cosmetics and about selling, then you may want to go to mark’s web site and check it out for yourself.
