Nutrimetics USA/Avalla Blog - The Business Side of Starting, Managing and Growing Your Biz

2013-03-03T11:59:00.002-05:00

Hello Natural Beauties, friends and consultants. As you may have heard by now, Avalla suddenly closed their doors at the end of January 2013, and that means that we are no longer able to access the Nutrimetics or Avalla brand products in USA or Canada at the moment.

My best suggestion to you at this time is to check ebay for most of your favorite products and either use the buy now feature or try to place your best bid.

Thank you for following along, reading and most of all for enjoying the Nutrimetics and Avalla products with me.

I'll continue to post here any news I learn of and keep this blog opened as it was my joy to share helpful tips on business and beauty for quite some time now.

Start your own Home Business this Month!

2012-10-21T10:27:00.001-04:00

If you need some extra money coming into your household, need to meet new people or just need something to do for yourself to get you out of the house, why not consider joining us in Avalla this month with your own home based business!

We think you'll love the freedom your own business gives you plus you'll make money in a fun and easy way. Plus, you get your own personal products discounted! Why pay department store and drug store prices when you could buy Avalla and Nutrimetics healthy products for less.....

Work when you want, set your own schedule, pamper your friends and family and meet new people that are interested in looking and feeling their best.

Avalla is a USA company that distributes Nutrimetics and their own products too (made in USA) with skin care, makeup, household products, mens products, hair care and wellness supplements. Everything is made from fruit and vegetable extracts from nature so they're good for the skin and body.

We do facials and makeovers for one on one demonstrations, small or large groups and there is no reason you couldn't set up a table at a women's group, expo, flea market, church, office or other way to show the products.

We make up to 40% commission just for sharing products that men and women love once they try them so it's not a hard sell and we don't recommend the hard sell approach anyway.

The holidays are just around the corner and this is the time to get your own business started, learn how to do it simply with a starter kit for just $99 for information, manuals and 4 full sized products to begin demonstrating.

Register as a new consultant and you'll also earn free products once you do 8 practice facials and 8 practice parties.

Interesting Post by Huffington Post on BPA and other Chemicals in Shampoos and Household Products

2012-03-31T13:10:00.000-04:00

Found this article by Huffington Post on one of the chemicals, BPA, BPA (Bisphenol A) frequently found in our cosmetics, household and cleaning products.

Thought it was worth a share so that you can learn about what chemicals to look for when searching which products to use for yourself and your family.

One interesting paragraph is this mention below in quotes that describes some of the effects of this one chemical in our lives and it also includes potential problems with asthma.
"The most well-known endocrine disruptor is bisphenol-A, or BPA, a chemical found in some plastics that has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, infertility and behavioral and developmental problems in children exposed in utero. Many have already ditched plastic water bottles for stainless steel, and manufacturers have begun advertising their wares as BPA-free."

If you or someone in your family has any of these problems, isn't it worth investigating chemicals and choosing a better alternative?

Everyone has to do their own research, determine it's validity and value to our lives and make the best decisions. Those decisions can either help or hurt our overall health by continuing to use chemically based ingredients on a daily basis.

We suggest you try and use Nutrimetics/Avalla products for their natural plant based ingredients based on the science of Mother Nature. Although not organic and the prices reflect that as well by being much more economical than organics, you'll find a history (over 50 years) of tried, true and tested products that you won't fear using.

The EWG is also a good source to check for which companies and brands still do use BPA and other toxic chemicals in products. Find them at http://www.ewg.org/ and do a simple search to help you to understand toxicity.

Nutrimetics reformulates Anti Aging Skin Care Collection - "Restore"

2012-03-21T10:53:00.000-04:00

Nutrimetics by Avalla offers the mercedes/top of the line Anti Aging Skin Care called 'Restore' with grape seed extract Savignon Blanc for only $190 for the foaming cleanser, refining toner, intense anti aging night moisturizer and anti aging eye cream for proven effect products that get results. On sale now in March for only $140, so the eye cream worth $50 is FREE! Beautifully repackaged very smartly and sophisticated in a pearlized purple with silver band. Read more to learn about the benefits of grape seed extract and how 'Restore' can improve your skin.

Nutrimetics Premium Anti Aging Skin Care 'Restore' only from Avalla in USA and Canada available at www.avalla.com/sites/cynthias1

     ** Note: Nutrimetics is the #1 brand in Australia and Avalla is the exclusive distributor of Nutrimetics in USA and Canada. Both are direct sales companies that avoid a middle man sales approach and keep the costs extremely affordable for premium quality products.

Nutrimetics reformulates the most popular anti aging collection by adding Savignon Blanc grape seed extract (vitis vinifera) to the already effective ingredients of black tea, chamomile, yarrow and peptides. Clinical trials showed results of 100% of men and women that used Nutrimetics Restore Skin Care showed marked improvement in their skin in the first 28 days!

What can Restore Anti Aging Skin Care do for YOU?

     Benefits of grape seed extracts:
          ** Contains Vitamin E, protein and essential fatty acids known as lipids
          ** Known antioxidants that fight disease and slow the aging process
          ** Smoothes lines and wrinkles
          ** Promote healing of wounds and scarring
          ** Reduce bruising
          ** Anti inflammatory
          ** Promotes collagen formation
          ** Assists with skin elasticity to give the skin bounce
          ** Removes free radicals that cause cellular death and destruction
          ** Blocks harmful rays of the sun
          ** Calming to the skin
          ** Improves the condition of the skin

     The Cost of Anti Aging:

        Compare Saks Fifth Avenue's La-Prarie eye cream alone at $350.00/.68oz. Most of the other products in this line cost around $450 for one item. That is a serious investment and we can't find any information on any of the ingredients (other than the 'exclusive cellular complex' that would cause this line of platinum products to be so costly. Even celebrities such as Demi Moore, Beyonce, Joan Rivers, Sharon Stone or Angelina Jolie would be silly to spend their hard earned money on these high priced skin care products when Avalla/Nutrimetics Restore works at a fraction of that cost and has proven results of 100% effectiveness in clinical trials.

Nutrimetics Relaunch Restore Anti Aging Skin Care with Savignon Blanc in the News

       Compare Dr. Mercola organic skin care collection at $299 for products at half the size of the Nutrimetics Restore and with very similar ingredients.

        Dior Hydra Life moisturizer for $56/ 1.7 oz vs Nutrimetics Restore Intense Anti Aging Night Cream 2.03 oz for $60 or $150 for Dior's 2.5 oz serum vs Nutrimetics Ultra Care Moisturizing Serum at $50 for 30ml or the Avalla Gold Firming Serum with 24kt Gold 30ml for $45 RRP.

Nutrimetics/Avalla Restore cost is less than $5.00 a day and is guaranteed to your satisfaction or your money back. Try the rest, you'll return to the best! With over 5 decades of proven experience, you'll see and feel the Nutrimetics Difference. Learn more.

Four Top Sellers from Nutrimetics/Avalla:

1. Nutri Rich Oil

This rich emollient is made from 4 1/2 pounds of apricots (that's over 65 apricots per jar!), carrot seed oil along with Vitamins C and E. This is the perfect anti aging product that is used at night time as a moisturizer. Spread a thin layer over entire facial skin and allow to absorb. By morning, your skin will be softer, smoother and firmer. With continued use, you will see visible results as the ingredients work to heal and hydrate like no other product you've ever tried! You can also use Nutri Rich Oil (also called Apricot Kernel Oil) for cuts, scars, scratches, scrapes, burns, diaper rash, very dry areas of the body, eczema, psoriasis, dry or thinning eyelashes and cuticles.

2. Heritage Skin Care Collection

The second top seller from Nutrimetics/Avalla is the original skin care line designed for normal/dry or normal/combination skin types. The deluxe set includes the cleanser, toner, moisturizer and eye cream for daily use and the honey almond scrub and mineral masque for weekly treatments of dry skin, smoothing the texture and removing blemishes, blackheads, shrinking pores and improving the overall skin texture. The key ingredients in this skin care line include Apricot kernel oil, sesame oil, cucumber, shea butter, peach kernel oil, vitamin E, lemon, lime and other ingredients from plants without chemicals to harm the skin.

Nutri Clean is biodegrable (great on your pipes), non toxic, phospate free, highly concentrated (use just a capful in a bucket of water for cleaning), cleans carpets and even grease. Every home deserves Nutri Clean and you'll find it safer than other cleaning agents.

4. Zeolife

This fourth top seller from Nutrimetics/Avalla is a vegetable based capsule from our wellness line. Zeolife works as a sponge in your body to find free radicals that cause disease and illness, attaches to it and safely removes it from the body. It works also as an antioxidant, with vitamins and minerals to benefit men and women alike, restores vitality, enhances the immune system, boosts energy levels, heals wounds, reduces acidity in the digestive tract and helps to metabolize protein, fat and carbohydrates. Studies have shown Zeolife also improves menopausal symptoms, balances glucose levels and improves mobility by easing joint pain.

December To-Do-Lists

2011-12-10T13:18:00.011-05:00

December is a busy month for everyone with the holidays, shopping, parties, shipping gifts, cooking, baking, wrapping and decorating and that doesn't include your regular work/job!

December To Do Lists will help you manage it all:

Stay organized in December to see great profits from your home based business while helping your customers get the products they need and want for unique gifts that everyone will love.

Here's a to-do-list to help you stay on track and get it all done.

** Make a list of everything to do to help you stay focused.

** Go through your gift closet to find those gifts you bought earlier in the year and cross off some of your list.

** Decide how you want to decorate. Maybe this year you keep it simpler and only put up the most meaningful decorations and save yourself some time.

** Shop online! At least doing a little research to find the best holiday deals and shop comparing prices will help you know the best places to save money for the holiday gifts and supplies you need. Nutrimetics USA/Avalla monthly sales for December offer great gift ideas at www.avalla.com/sites/cynthias1 so check it out.

** Shop early or late when most others aren't in the stores to save time and less distractions.

** Do something every day to tackle that to-do-list and get it done as early as possible freeing up your time so you can relax and spend time with friends and family.

** Call or write to your customers to find out what they need and offer suggestions on how you can help them.

** Create gift baskets of your Nutrimetics/Avalla products that are ready to give and ready to go. You can really help to simplify many of your customers gift giving by having beautiful baskets already done. Even adding a gift tag, wrap and bow so it's really all done is super helpful!

** Save money with free shipping offers online, free gift with purchase and easy free returns just in case a gift doesn't turn out to be wanted or needed.

** Keep checking off your list of things to do as you accomplish them. Your list will get smaller and smaller and you'll feel great about all you've done!

** Involve the family when possible. Kids will love helping with decorating, baking, wrapping, online shopping research, creating packages and even cleaning with the right attitude. Play holiday music to keep the spirit going!

** Recycle clothing instead of buying new if you want to save money and get a few key accessories instead of a whole new outfit. Accessories can be used with multiple outfits so you'll get more bang for your buck without breaking the bank.

** Avoid all stressful situations over the holidays and keep yourself calm. Somehow, it all comes together with the right planning and you will have time for fun and relaxation!

** Take time daily for yourself and your fitness program. You'll have the stamina and energy to keep going and to stay healthy over the holidays.

** Do your best and don't fret over anything that can't be done on time. Next year try to plan a little earlier if you feel bad about not getting something done.

** Start thinking about your goals for 2010 and get yourself a copy of What it takes to earn $1 million in your business to get on track for the upcoming year!

** Have a Merry Christmas and the best holidays ever in your home based business!

Creating Goals around a Busy Schedule

2011-09-24T13:01:00.009-04:00

Today I thought I'd share with you how I create goals around my very busy schedule and how you can do it too with your Nutrimetics by Avalla home based business.

The movers and shakers are typically the ones that already have a full schedule of work and commitments and also the ones that take on the extra work of starting a home based business. I'm one of those people and you probably are too since you're reading this.

I'm a Registered Nurse, own and operate a 200 seat Italian restaurant with my talented husband who is the Executive Chef and President of our company. My tasks there involve working five days a week as the General Manager, accountant in charge of all billing and invoices, paperwork for unemployment and other state issues, keeping all licenses updated, payroll, taxes and office organization. I also take care of our business website, twitter, facebook, yelp and other marketing and advertising tasks and accounts. I'm in charge of the front of the house staff with hiring, firing, training, reservations, customer service problems or concerns, booking all banquet and pharmaceutical functions, as well as ordering beer, wine and liquor. I also close the restaurant nightly and run all financial reports.

Our restaurant was my husbands dream of 30 years ago when he first became a Certified Working Chef and Executive Chef and we've been in a successful business for the last 16 years. Keeping it running smoothly for the staff and customers doesn't really get any easier as the years pass and sometimes it's even harder to maintain it with so many other new local businesses and chains opening. Most businesses fail within the first 3 to 5 years. We've had many awards and achievements over the years for food, martinis, customer service, community efforts and our staffing.

My Nutrimetics by Avalla business is my fun job that I do for myself and to create a retirement account for myself and my husband. When you work for yourself, you're in charge of creating your own retirement and benefits since there is no help at all from an employer or the government. I also write this blog and other online writings to help you and others learn how to grow a home business successfully.

Join me now for your own Nutrimetics/Avalla home based business and I'll help you to create a schedule that works for you to achieve the income and goals you have: www.avalla.com/sites/cynthias1 to begin for only $99 and get four full sized products with your join kit plus all the educational and training materials you need.

Creating Goals around a Busy Schedule:

Although I'd love to work my home business full time, it's just not feasible with owning a restaurant. So, I do my best to rearrange my schedule to allow me to work it part time consistently. We've had other managers to take over my duties in the past but, it's difficult to find someone you can truly trust with the financial matters of your company and often it's best to do it yourself. I'm a Group Leader in our company and am currently working towards the next level of Sales Leader to increase my income and status.

Using all hours of the day to the max!!
I don't spend much time watching television or playing games. I'm on a mission for a successful future and that requires maximizing all hours.

Mornings:
My mornings are my time to update my home business customer list, answer all emails, update my blogs.

One a Day!!
My ultimate goal is to find one customer per day. This is done either through my online work whereby customers find me when they are searching for Nutrimetics online, or my email list to current customers, or to making calls to my customer list and later in the day by speaking to new potential customers.

Early Afternoons are spent with at least one chore in my home since I clean it myself without the help of anyone except my husband. By doing at least one chore per day, my home stays clean and organized and I don't spend my time off doing all the chores at once and exhausting myself. Try it if you don't already, it works!

Later Afternoons are when I'm getting ready for the restaurant and any errands on the way to work. These involve either the post office for mailings or delivering customer orders and things like that. I always try to talk to new potential customers about my home based business when I'm running errands and can strike up a conversation with someone.

Evenings are when I'm usually at our restaurant and stay focused on that task. Sometimes, customers ask me questions about my skin or makeup and it's an opportunity to discuss my Nutrimetics/Avalla business. I have a small display on information and business cards in the front of our restaurant so that people can take a sample or flyer about our products and opportunity.

Late Night when I return home from the restaurant is time I spend on blogging, other writing or checking and answering the days emails and my personal webpage of reports and orders. It's a great surprise to find someone has placed an order automatically on your site!!

I like leaving one day a week at least available for one on one facials or parties and try to book an Open House monthly at my home so it's more convenient for me. That also helps me to keep my house neat and tidy!

I also find time to exercise, eat healthy and sleep 7-8 hours per day to keep my energy level at it's peak performance. I do at least one household chore daily so that my days off are not spent doing all the necessary chores and my house stays cleaner that way too!

This schedule has helped me to create my goals around a busy schedule and allows me to usually find one new customer per day. Using your pwp allows customers to go to your own webpage and order online 24/7 while the company does all the shipping and you get the credit. It takes a base of around 100 customers to get your online business on auto pilot but, it will work and is extremely valuable to helping you get orders daily and increasing your income.

Create your own work schedule and begin to determine what will work for you and your current lifestyle. Make a committment to your future and stay consistent with it. It will work and I wish you the very best to achieve all that you dream of.

How do you stay on track for creating goals around a busy schedule? Please feel free to share your ideas and suggestions in the comment section below. Thanks for reading and wishing you continued success in your home based business.

Record Breaker Challenge 2011 Earns you a Free Cruise with Avalla - Distributor of Nutrimetics

2011-09-08T12:39:00.009-04:00

September starts the new Record Breaker Challenge for 2011 with Avalla and the prize is a 7 day all expense paid cruise to the Caribbean on the cruise ship, Glory, when you work to earn it. Work part time or full time to earn extra money and the bonus will be a cruise earned by the end of December 2011.

All levels of consultants are elible to participate in earning this free cruise and you could be on this trip with other consultants, distributors and leaders of Avalla. Get started now to take advantage of each month to help you have the best chance at earning the trip and choosing the cabin of your choice.

How to earn the Record Breaker Challenge 2011:
Join Avalla for $99 for the start up kit and choose your skin care kit that is included. You'll also receive all the training materials, catalogues, sales brochures, flyers and be well on your way to being able to demonstrate and share the amazing Avalla, Nutrimetics and now Tarrah products of your choice. Just go to www.avalla.com/sites/cynthias1 and register as a new consultant.

The challenge has a beginning level of sales of $6,000 from September 1 through December 31, 2011 to be eligible to earn the cruise. Break it down by month and that means you'll want at least $1500 in sales per month. Break it down even further and that means you'll want at least $375 per week in sales. Break it down once more and use the average beginning sales amount of $50 and that $375 per week equates to 7.5 customers per week!

Start Demonstrating Products!
Schedule one on one facials, mini parties of 3 or 4 guests or large parties to help you increase your sales and see more customers in one gathering. Teach your customers how to join as a Preferred Customer so that they can order online 24/7 and you get the credit for the sale to boost your sales. Plan gatherings at your own home or office and make it convenient for you to work when you want and what works for your schedule. Try an Open House monthly to get in front of many potential customers in one day - it works well and is one of my favorite ways to build my business.

Keep Track of your Progress:
Use the tracking form found on your avalla website to mark down your goals and track your sales from your product demonstrations and online Preferred Customer Club orders.

Attend Trainings:
Get on the weekly conference calls with our President to learn as you earn as well as continue training with your upline for support and any questions or problems. Stay in touch by phone, email, texting, skype or other form of communication that works for you and your upline.

Earn a Guest's Way for Free:
If you want to take your partner along on the free cruise, plan on sponsoring at least 10 people into your team that generate $6,000 in sales of new business. Break it down per month and you'll want at least 2.5 new members of your team joining and getting started on their own home based business too. It's fun to work with your friends/family/co-workers on a new business venture so make this part of your plan early on in joining Avalla so that you and your friend will learn as you earn together.

The Caribbean Cruise from Avalla will be a very memorable trip for sure and one that you will not want to miss. The key to earning it for free is really to start as soon as possible, share the products and opportunity with as many people as possible, work your business as a business and stay focused on your goal of basking in the sun and fun in March 2012 when the ship sails from Miami, Fl. (transportation to and from Miami is your responsibility although, you will find ways to earn bonuses along the way to help you afford the cost of air/bus or car travel to Miami).

JOIN NOW at www.avalla.com/sites/cynthias1 for only $99 that includes everything you need to get started on your home based business and also includes free products to start using and sharing.

I look forward to helping you earn this free Caribbean Cruise and traveling together in March in the cabin of our choice! Contact me on the site when you are registered or if you need any help using the website and I'll answer you within a few hours, or call if you'd rather.

Product Review - Nutri Clean All Purpose Cleaner/Canada/USA

2011-08-26T10:31:00.024-04:00

My cleaning chores are made so much easier with Nutri Clean All Purpose Cleaner available in Canada and USA. Today I thought I'd share some of my recent cleaning jobs that I've done using the environmentally friendly product in my home and around my yard. Nutri Clean works with Yucca and coconut extracts and helps to neutralize stains and dirt easily and safely. Why keep 10-20 different chemical cleaners in your home when you can replace them all with one single chemical free product that works for all your household cleaning needs.

Created almost 50 years ago, Nutri Clean from Nutrimetics (Nutritional Cosmetics) and now distributed by Avalla in USA, was originally made to wash fruits and vegetables to remove dirt, pesticides and larvae off the food we eat. Just soak your fresh fruit and veggies in a sink of cool water and add a capful of Nutri Clean and allow to soak for about 15 minutes. Rinse with cool water, dry and store for longer lasting, safe to eat food for your whole family. You'll be surprised at all the dirt left in your sink that normally you would ingest, Nutri Clean is concentrated, a natural disinfectant, a little goes a loooooong way and that helps you save money!

Buy Nutri Clean in Canada/USA at www.avalla.com and use PASSCODE: cynthias1 to enter the 'shop' area. All products are guaranteed or your money back. Join as a Preferred Customer for gift with $100 retail order, flat rate shipping, brochure mailed monthly to your home and more benefits.

Bird Bath Cleaning - I love nature and attracting the birds to our yard but, worry about applying any chemicals to the plants or any part of the yard. Enter Nutri Clean. This concentrated cleaner was used directly from the quart sized bottle and when I used a scrub brush,
was able to get the bird bath clean without harming our feathered friends that have been with us all summer.

Window Washing - Use a capful in a gallon of warm water and a soft microfiber cloth to wash all the windows in your home like I do. Almost immediately, the window starts to squeak as it cleans and then I simply dry it with another soft cotton cloth for super clean and streak free windows.

Glass Tables - Just like window cleaning, glass tables shine without any streaks and Nutri Clean also helps to reduce lint and dust build up on all your glass and windows.

Mirrors - Nutri Clean also is amazing for your bathroom mirrors - no fog builds up as you bath or shower when you clean your mirrors with Yucca and coconut extracts and no chemicals.

Woodwork - I clean all my woodwork without any worries of damaging or warping the wood with Nutri Clean. I use it as a capful in a gallon of water to wash the wood trim around windows, all baseboards and staircases in my home. I love that I never have to go back and dry the wood or even rinse it and it doesn't leave a film or streaks.

Kitchen Cabinets - Nutri Clean helps me clean my kitchen fast and without chemicals to harm my family or myself as I'm cleaning without fumes. For grease around the stove, I use it full strength and spray directly on the surfaces or my backsplash and simply wipe with a wet cotton cloth. No rinsing required and that makes my cleaning fast and my kitchen always sparkles super clean!

Kitchen and Dining Room Furniture - I clean all my wood furniture and any stains on the dining fabrics with diluted Nutri Clean and a soft cotton cloth without ever damaging the wood and keeping everything looking almost new.

Patio Furniture - I love Nutri Clean to keep my patio furniture and the railings on my patio mold free, dust free and without ruining the fabrics. I use a capful in a gallon of water and a soft cotton cloth to simply wipe it all down. Then I simply let it all air dry without rinsing and it's smooth and soft without any residue left. Nutri Clean is an amazing product that every home needs!

Pets - One unique feature of Nutri Clean is that it is safe for bathing pets, won't harm their coats, won't harm them when they lick themselves afterwards unlike pet shampoos with chemicals. Nutri Clean KILLS FLEAS by suffocating them immediately and it also soothes skin problems on pets. Spray diluted Nutri Clean on any pet sores to help them heal too. Use it to create a pet bath with a capful or two of cleaner in a tub of warm water. Do your pets a huge favor and stop using chemicals to clean them and have happy, fresh smelling pets all the time. They'll love it and so will you.

Carpets - Yes! I use Nutri Clean full strength on any carpet stains and it not only works great by using either a small scrub brush for set in stains or a cloth for immediate stain removal but, also won't fade or harm the color of the carpet.

Car Washing - My husband is the car washer in our family and loves to use Nutri Clean diluted with a gallon of warm water. It's safe for the paint on your vehicle and can even clean the inside and the tires without working hard.

Boat Cleaning - feel free to use Nutri Clean on the inside or outside of your boat the same way you would for your car and you'll see how it sparkles quickly without leaving any residue or chemicals.

Body Care - Yes, my husband and I use Nutri Clean for bathing, it's safe, has only a faint and light scent, moisturizes the skin without drying it out and doesn't leave your skin sticky like most soaps do. You can even brush your teeth with it.

Wash Fruits and Vegetables - Fill your kitchen sink with cool water and add a capful of Nutri Clean and allow it do the work. You'll be amazed at all the brown dirt, debris, bugs or larvae that is left in the sink when you remove your produce.

To Buy Nutri Clean All Purpose Cleaner/Canada/USA:
** Nutri Clean OLC (Original Lotion Concentrate) is available in quart and gallon sizes for household cleaning. Buy it buy the case to save even more money.
** Nutri Clean CLC (Controlled Laundry Concentrate) is available in gallon size and uses 2 TBS per load of laundry. One gallon will do approximately 133 loads of laundry. That's 2 loads per week or 16 month supply. Can your laundry detergent last that long?
** Avalla Clean is the same formula as Nutri Clean except that it uses Yucca and grapefruit extract and is available in quart or gallon sizes.
** Avalla Fresh is the same formula as Nutri Clean CLC for laundry and is available in quart or gallon sizes for your convenience.

**** NOTE: Nutri Clean and Avalla Clean work by neutralizing stains and dirt --- DO NOT USE IN THE POOL SINCE IT WILL NEUTRALIZE ALL YOUR CHEMICALS, virtually removing them from your pool and you'll end up having to add them all again! That's a powerful product and one you can safely use for all other cleaning tasks in your home.

Promoting your Network Marketing Company with Product Sampling

2011-08-23T09:39:00.012-04:00

Promoting your network marketing company remains an important part of your home based business that you need to spend some time working on to help you build your customer base and to grow your business. Try all the different ways to promote your business until you find one you love, can repeat over and over again and that works well for you. Product Sampling is one promotional tool you should not overlook.

In an earlier post, we discussed a couple of ways to help you with promotion of your company, products and brand and today we'll talk about how you can add samples and sampling as another effective marketing tool to add to your to-do list today.

Sampling is a great way to promote your network marketing company to get your brand noticed, meet new people and to increase your sales as well as members of your team with a few tips to help you get started.

People love to get a gift, people love a sample, people will love your free sample without any strings attached, they can try your product on their own time when it's convenient to them. Many companies offer samples but, customers have to pay for shipping and handling. Your Nutrimetics/Avalla business is different and you cover all the costs so there's no hidden fees to customers.

Gather Sampling Supplies
You'll want sample containers for your products. Look at these hinged plastic containers from amazon.com that you can buy in bulk. They're small, lightweight and easy to carry with you at all times.

Buy sample bags to keep your individual samples in.

Make a business sized list of directions on how to use the specific product sample so that anyone you give a sample to will know what the product is, what benefit it provides and easy to use directions.
You'll want your business card included with all your contact information so make sure that your sample bag will be large enough for a business card, directions and the sample.
Use small round labels, similar to those found at a dollar store that are used for your garage or yard sale. Those small discs fit easily on your sample container so that each product is properly labeled.

Clear cellophane bags are great because you can see each sample for yourself so it's fast and easy to hand them out. They can be tied at the top with a pretty ribbon or twist tie.

Make Samples of your Products

Choose some of the products that you want to promote, usually the products that you love the most and can discuss freely and easily.
Samples can be individual products or any product you sell in a collection. Make sure to offer products that work well together so that your prospect can see, smell and try the product before they buy it.
I like creating samples of cleanser, toner and moisturizer for each individual skin type as one sample and then seperate samples for treatment products such as the scub and masque, or eye gel and eye cream, or anti aging products for those that I meet that have an interest in particular products for specific skin care problems.
Put the sample packets together as you create them to keep it all organized.
Spending some time at home to create your sample packets will be time well spent on your home based business that people will appreciate when you are out and about.

Giving out Samples of your Products

Keep a handful of your sample packets with you at all times. They should be small enough to keep in your car or purse.
Any time you are out and about and someone is helpful to you whether you are at a grocery store, the post office, the drive thru, the mall, an auto store, a restaurant, your office, a hospital, the beauty salon, a dress shop, the shoe store, school, a nail salon or anywhere else that you frequent, you will have your samples with you and you'll be ready to give out a sample of your products.
Simply thank the person helping you at one of the stores or businesses above and tell them you'd like to give them a gift. Reach into your purse or bag and offer them a choice of X sample or X sample.
Let them choose which sample they'd like to try such as an eye cream, an acne product, a vitamin or other wellness product, a skin care product, hair care or body product. Product sampling works for anything that can fit in the container and that you can add information about the product and how to use it.

** If you are able to get the contact information from those people that you give a sample to, it works much better than not having that information.
** Ask the person if you can contact them in a few days to get their opinion on your sample and take down their name and phone number or email address.
** Follow up with them in a few days to ask them if they had a chance to use the sample and see how they liked it.
** You can then offer them a complimentary facial or makeover or tell them about the amazing hostess program from Nutrimetics/Avalla so that they can earn free gifts by having three friends join them and you for their free facial or makeover.
** Keep track of your costs associated with creating product samples because these costs are a tax deduction for you as part of your home based business expenses.

Join Avalla - distributor of Nutrimetics and I'll gladly help you with how to start and grow your home based business with sampling and more ideas.
Go to www.avalla.com and enter passcode: cynthias1 to get started.

Sampling your products with these packets is an effective way to promote your company, products and yourself to others if you do it faithfully. Let me know how it works for you to find new customers and members of your team.

More Marketing Ideas for Promoting your Home Based Business

2011-08-09T16:05:00.017-04:00

Let's explore more ways to promote your business as part of your marketing plan in today's post.

Attend Festivals - gather some of the members of your team and all pitch in for the cost of a table and tent. By doing this with a group, everyone can split the expenses and share all the leads gathered. Each person could bring some of the products, some of the literature, create a beautiful display and survey cards.

Work a Woman's Expo - these events typically revolve around all things women and it's a great way to meet new people that can either become your customers or part of your team when you set up appointments to explain the opportunity for them to join your team.

Church Bazaars - often a great place to meet new people when your church has their yearly bazaar. The cost is usually much less than other events and a donation can be made to the church instead of a flat rate fee. Find out what churches in your area are hosting these events and what is entailed to get a table. You may only need to donate a gift basket for a chinese auction or agree to donate part of your proceeds from the day.

School Events - what school events are happening at your school that could allow you to set up a table for a display of your products? Find out what's happening and see how you can be a part of it.

Career Fairs - people that attend career fairs are looking for work and you have the best at home business opportunity that could be right for so many of those people searching for a job. Find out the cost to set up a table at a career fair and bring your team along to share the work and the leads. Be prepared to discuss your business if anyone is interested on the spot and share how your potential recruit could start earning money this month.

Open House - one of my favorite ways to show new products is to hold an open house in my own home. Choose a date that works for your schedule, invite your friends and neighbors to come to your open house party, check out the latest products or accessories, have some appetizers or refreshments, get a free gift for attending and to give you their opinion on what's new.

Choose a long stretch of hours that will more than likely fit with everyone's schedule ie. 12pm - 6pm, they can attend whenever it's convenient for them. Create display areas in a few rooms so your guests can walk around and try the products, ask questions and get help when they need it. Set up appointments at your open house for one on one facials/makeovers or share your hostess rewards program if they host 3or more guests at a presentation in their home. Explain the benefits to them of free products, discounted products and a free gift from you for allowing you into their home.

Create Parties in your Home:
** Girls Night In
** Slumber Party
** Pool Party
** Pedicures and Manicures
** Anti Aging Party
** Mom and Daughter Party
** Beach Feet Party
** Fun in the Sun Party
** Get Fit Party
** Health and Wellness Party
** Guys and Gals
** Back to School Party
** New Mom Pampering Party
or any other theme that you can think of that would be fun, relaxing, comfortable and allow time together with your friends/coworkers or neighbors and family to try your products before they buy, learn the benefits in a stress free environment that isn't pushy.

Try all the different ways to market your home based business to find out what works best for you and which ones you enjoy the most. Keep working on all the ways to market yourself and your business and you will have success.

What are your favorite ways to market your home based business? Share it in the comments section for others and so that we can discuss it more. As always, thanks for reading and have a beautiful day!

Networking and Marketing

2011-08-03T06:00:00.002-04:00

To operate a successful network marketing company, it will be very helpful if you learn more about networking and marketing as well as the company and products you are ready to share. Let’s try to break down the parts and see if we can understand what it is and what you may be doing wrong and more importantly, how to improve.

Understanding Networking and Marketing…
According to Wikipedia:
In general, the term network can refer to any interconnected group or system. Several different types of networks exist, including: human, media, technology, etc.
Or
According to the Dictionary:
1) A complex, interconnected group or system: an espionage network.
2) An extended group of people with similar interests or concerns who interact and remain in informal contact for mutual assistance or support.

So, in order to network effectively, you’ll need a group of people with similar interests. Where do you find those that are interested in your product or your company? Think of groups of people that would be interested in what you’re offering. How do you reach them?

Start by becoming more involved with various groups of people. Does your product cater to women? Lucky you, women typically are in charge of the family household budget and
mostly determine what to buy! Join a women’s gym, a book club, bingo, church events, happy hours at bar that offer a ladies night, school events, grocery stores school events, yoga or dance classes. The most important thing to remember once you join a group is this:

TAKE AN HONEST INTEREST IN OTHERS, WHAT THEY WANT AND NEED

You never want to join a group and then immediately babble on about your product or opportunity. People will see right through that and you’ll just be labeled a ‘salesperson’….. you probably don't like that and neither will people you know or meet.
People don’t want to be sold, they love to buy!

It is said over and over by numerous successful entrepreneurs that network marketing and multilevel marketing is not about products or companies, it’s about YOU. That means that people will buy from you once they know and like and trust you. So, first start with that. Get to know them, let them talk about themselves, let them know you care, you’re there for them, learn about them and their needs so that you can help them. Once they feel that you are genuinely interested in them as a person, they’ll be more than willing to hear your presentation and to buy what you’re offering.

In order to network most effectively, you’ll also need to understand marketing - it's the second half of your business.
Marketing is a social process which satisfies consumers' wants, needs and interests. The term includes advertising, distribution and selling of a product or service. It is also concerned with anticipating the customers' future needs and wants, often through market research.

Marketing is the process of interesting potential customers and clients in your products and/or services.
The key word in this marketing definition is "process"; marketing involves researching, promoting, selling, and distributing your products or services. It takes time and energy.

Marketing involves everything you do to get your potential clients/customers and your product or service together. Success won’t happen if you don’t have a plan or if that plan excludes any of the important components.

When you're putting together a marketing program for your business, concentrate on the marketing basics, the four key components of any marketing plan:
• Researching your products and services
• Promotion
• Distribution
• Selling

The purpose of marketing is attracting and retaining a growing base of satisfied customers. Creating and implementing a marketing plan will keep your marketing efforts focused and increase your success of finding and keeping customers.

Many times people will get involved with a company based on their products, attend a few trainings and think they can go out and sell them effectively. They quickly learn that this is not the case and they get discouraged and quit before they’ve understood or developed the process of marketing.

Let’s look at the first two ways to develop your marketing plan for your business so that you can achieve success with your company at the early stages and onward:

1) Researching products and services
It is important to know your products and learn the services that you will be providing to your clients. This shouldn’t consume all of your time and prevent you from beginning to share your products. Sometimes, people get so caught up in feeling the need to know all there is about their products that they dwell only on this one step. Frustration will occur and before the rest of the marketing plan can be implemented, they quit.

Learn as much as you can to understand your products and company to feel comfortable in sharing them. Just learn a few key things that you love about a particular product. Utilize the information from your company about products as well as some study on your own. Understand that this will be an ongoing process and vow to continue to learn for growth. Take action daily as you already know more than your customers and you don’t need to be an expert immediately. This will come in time.

2) Promotion
This is a step that is often eliminated in a marketing plan or without a marketing plan that causes many people to stop the pursuit of success with their company. Currently, 300,000 people daily are starting their own business. If you don’t have the ability to promote yourself, your company and the products, you’ll miss key opportunities to find new customers and members of your group/team.

There are many ways to promote your products and company.

Some of the older methods include cold calling, bombarding your friends and family, random prospecting and referrals. With the internet available, the possibilities to promote your business are becoming endless. If you don’t have an internet presence in this day and age, you’re missing many of the people shopping online or looking for a business online. Google adwords, twitter, facebook, craigslist, pennysaver, blogs, numerous social networks and online marketing systems that promote for you as well as your company website are all great ways to assist your marketing promotion.

You can still promote and advertise by way of local media, bulletin boards, church bulletins or mall events. These won’t cost you a lot of money and will only attract those that are actively seeking what you’re offering. Start to work smarter, not harder.
If you utilize any or several of the systems above, you will be marketing towards the people that are actively searching. This will help avoid the frustration that other typical ways of getting in front of people usually lead to.

A very effective approach that I just used recently is worth mentioning and taking ACTION on soon! Have a yard/garage sale to reduce your clutter and as a great way to meet some of your neighbors. Post signs calling it a MEGA sale and try to involve your neighbors to increase the size of the sale. Make a beautiful basket of your products and have a little survey card, response slip in front of it.

As people come to your yard sale, offer a chance for them to fill out your response slip, you’ll enter them in a drawing to WIN your gift basket. Some won’t be interested—that’s OK. Some will- that’s MARVELOUS! Make sure you include brief lines on the response slip that state:
1) I am interested in products
2) I would like to arrange a personal consultation
3) I would like to schedule a party or home demonstration to receive free products or discounted products
4) I would be interested in hearing more about the business opportunity

Their name, phone, email and best time to call at the end will secure their information for you to contact them in a few days.

Make sure to contact the gift basket winner, thank them for entering your drawing and set up a time to deliver their gift. Ask them when is a good time to set up their complimentary facial. Ask them if mornings, afternoons or evenings are better for them.Offer them a choice of X date or X date (depending on your schedule). Set up the appointment, verify the date and time and thank them. Offer for your winner to invite a friend or two over for the free facial and tell them that if their friends like any of the products, she could earn free hostess gifts from the company. Call the day before the appointment and tell her how excited you are to meet with her for her free basket and to give her a facial. Ask her if she has a friend joining so you can bring enough product and supplies.

In future posts, we'll explore the other aspects of marketing so stay tuned or subscribe if you want the information as soon as it's posted.

I hope this information will be useful and most helpful to you in understanding networking and marketing a little better to help you grow your business.

Thank you for following along with me as we discover together the effective ways you can grow your business by taking ACTION today. You can make it happen if you decide to! Never give up.

How to Declutter Your Home Office to Increase your Productivity

2011-07-26T00:35:00.003-04:00

A cluttered home office can reduce your productivity
How to Declutter your home office to increase your productivity in 12 steps:

Having a cluttered home office can make it difficult to want to work there, make it difficult to find what you need and also makes you not want to be there. Taking time to declutter your home office will help you stay focused on the work you need to accomplish to increase productivity.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
time
shredder
files
containers for files
pc
garbage container

Step 1
allow 15-30 minutes a day to declutter your home office
Decide to start the process of decluttering your home office this week. Once you make the decision that it's time to declutter that space, allow yourself at least 15-30 minutes per day to work on this project to avoid feeling overwhelmed by the process.

Step 2
shred unnecessary papers
Organize the supplies you'll need. Make sure you have files to keep necessary papers in, a shredder to remove unwanted papers and
some kind of file cabinet or other system to house the files. You'll also need a box or two for donated items and a garbage container for anything you'll throw away.

Step 3
organize papers into file system
Start with a small area of the room so you won't be overwhelmed with the amount of work at hand. Begin looking at each piece of paper and decide if you really need it. If so, create a file and label the file. Place the file alphabetically in the chosen container for your new system.

Step 4
shred unnecessary papers
If you decide that you don't need the piece of paper, start your shredder and shred as much paperwork as possible. Eliminating unnecessary papers from your life will begin to feel good and the more you shred, the more you'll want to shred.

Step 5
keep a handy to-do list
When you're sifting through the paperwork in the areas of your room, create a to-do file folder of business items that should be handled relatively soon. Keep this file handy on your desk for now. You'll create a permanent space for it later.

Step 6
organize on your pc when possible
As you begin to fill the container with all your newly organized files, decide on a place to keep the files handy. It could be under a desk, in a closet in the room or beside your desk for easy referencing later. Organize as much as you can on your computer to eliminate paperwork altogether.

Step 7
swiffer duster makes dusting quick and easy
Once you've tackled your desk area, dust and polish the desk surface to remove any dirt that has been accumulating there. Your room will start to feel and smell much better. I personally love the swiffer duster because it keeps all the dust contained without it flying around in the air.

Step 8
desktop organizer
After your desktop area is cleaned, allow yourself an area for your important to-do file folder. Office supply stores carry a wide selection of desktop accessories that will allow you to match a design or style of your newly organized office space. Choose a nice desktop file holder for your to-do folder.

Step 9
donate unnecessary items
Donate or throw away whatever is not needed in your home office area. Eliminate any items that could cause distraction to your work. Decide to only keep your office work and necessary related items in this room so that you can stay focused on work and increase productivity. Find local donation centers in the resouce area.

Step 10
paint at least one wall in your home office
Once all your floor space, desk space and any other areas are decluttered, you may want to wash the walls and give the room a fresh coat of paint. Painting at least one wall in your home office will brighten it, give it a new life and make it a place you'll enjoy working.

Step 11
recycle
Make a habit of dealing with paperwork daily either filing or shredding it. Keep as much information in your pc as possible to eliminate paperwork altogether. Recycle all your shredded papers with your weekly garbage pickup to help keep our environment clean and green.Find local recycling centers in the resource area.

Step 12
clean, organized home office
When you're all done organizing all your paperwork and freeing up all areas of the home office, you can now open a window to allow in fresh air without having to worry that all your papers will fly all around. The fresh air will help to stimulate you to work in your newly organized home office space. You'll soon see your productivity increase dramatically. Enjoy it and get some work done!

Tips & Warnings
Spend a little time daily on organizing your office so you won't feel overwhelmed and continue daily until it's completed
Gather all your necessary files, cabinets, etc. before you start to organize
Try to deal with paperwork daily to avoid ever becoming disorganized again
Many donation stores will pick up your unwanted items

Good luck, take it one step at a time to declutter your home office. You will increase your productivity and get your work done in a cleaner and happier environment.

How to Work From Home

2011-06-15T10:59:00.004-04:00

How to Work From Home

According to the Direct Selling Association, statistics show that over 15 million people work from home with their own direct selling business and that number is growing every month as more and more people need extra money for bills, retirement, college, savings or to change their lifestyle.

If you are considering a work from home job or are already getting starting with a company, you may be wondering how to work from home to be successful and make it work. These are the steps to take so that this will work for you and that you will earn that extra money that you need and want.

How to Work From Home Steps:

Create a Work from Home Schedule
Step one is definitely to make a schedule that you can work your home business. Many people fail to make a schedule and end up working their new business more like a hobby instead of a business. This is work - treat it like work and make yourself a working schedule just like you would have a schedule if you had to leave your home and punch a clock.

Be on Time for Work
That's right! If you are going to follow your schedule, plan to get up on time, get showered and
dressed and ready for work just as you would if you had to leave your home for work. You will be much more productive when you get into this way of working from home. Use a timer or clock if you need it and make sure that you are at your work from home desk when you scheduled your time to work your business. The time you spend working your business will pay off when you get to work on time.

Make Contact with Customers
You absolutely must make contact with customers since they are the ones that you will be showing products to, demonstrating with and getting referrals from. Spend a certain amount of time to contact customers either by telephone, email, texting, skype, fax or any other way that you plan on contacting customers. Start with one way and use all ways of communication to contact customers since many people prefer one way to be contacted over another.

Get Over Your Fears
If you allow fear to enter your work at home job, that will become a road block to your success. Push through any fears you have about contacting people and just talk to them as you know that you would like to be spoken to. Avoid a hard sell approach and remember that your products will 'help people' and this will help you to get over your fears.

Some Will, Some Won't, Who's Next
Not everyone that you contact originally will want to hear about your products or service. That's okay! Make the offer, get their response and move on. Avoid any 'no's' from deterring your efforts. There will always be people that are satisfied with the products they currently use - that's okay! Thank them for their time and offer to contact them another time in the future, sometimes it's just a timing issue with people. Once you do find someone that is happy to hear from you and more than happy to see or hear about your demonstration, it will make up for any that have no interest.

Count Work as Contacting Customers
Many people count all the other things they do for their business as work when in fact the only real 'work' that should be counted for your home business is contacting customers - your bread and butter. There are tasks such as creating flyers, getting business cards, training, studying and learning etc. as work but unless you are reaching customers, you are not really working your home based business. Allow yourself time in your schedule for those other tasks but, spend the majority of your time on reaching customers and you will be much more successful.

Meet New People
Plan to meet new people while you are running errands and going about the rest of your day. Get into the mindset of working your home business while you are away from home. Keep business cards with you at all times, have flyers and samples to pass out to potential new customers and keep a small notepad to get their contact information so that you can reach them in a few days after you meet them.

Follow Up with Customers
Take time to follow up with customers a few days after they have your product to make sure they are using it, answer any questions they have and to ask for a referral of someone they know that would also like your product. Offer a free gift for each referral you receive to encourage customers to help you grow your home business. This is important work as part of your home business and will help you to establish a relationship with a customer and also to help your home business grow.

Stay on Track
Stay focused on your home business and realize that it will take work to increase your customer base but, it will happen when you repeat these tasks on a daily basis or whatever schedule you have created to work from home. Month after month you will have more customers, more referrals and every three or four months, your current customers will need to reorder your products creating your residual income - money you earn from work already done!

Work From Home Success
Slow and steady will win the race in your home business and you will see success when you continue working. This is not a get rich quick scheme and you should allow yourself at least four to six months of working to determine if you will like to continue it. Many people are not successful because they want immediate success. You will earn immediate income by selling products and more money when you share the business opportunity with others but, it does take some time. Don't give up!

Building Your Home Business Customer Base

2011-06-05T13:00:00.004-04:00

When you start your home based business, one of the most important steps you can take is to build your customer base to at least 100 customers. Once you have at least 100 customers, they will all need to reorder their personal care and beauty products every 3 months or so. This is one reason why it is smart to start a home based business with Nutrimetics by Avalla. The products are all consumable meaning that over and over forever, customers will use their products and need to get more unlike many other companies that offer a product one time and another is rarely if ever needed again. The more you build your list of customers, the easier your home based business becomes down the road.

How can you possibly do this when you're just getting going with your Nutrimetics/Avalla business and not sure where to begin?

One of the best ways to start to build your customer base is to
have an Open House style party at your own home. Invite all your friends, family and neighbors to try your products for themselves to compare them to what they already use and to give you their opinion.
The more the merrier at your first Open House party! Invite as many as possible and choose a day and time that works for you. Many of your guests won't be able to attend due to other obligations.
Create a simple flyer invitation or use evite to send your invitation by email. Evite is a great service that allows you to customize an invitation and also includes party ideas. Read more about evite here:
From your Open House party, share the company's hostess rewards program and offer everyone a special gift when they book their own facial with at least 3 guests or a larger party.

What will happen from your first party/Open House is that you will:
1) Sell products 2) Book parties and 3) Schedule appointments for others to join your team or 4) Sign up your hostess or other guests to join your team right there when they see what you do, how easy it really is to share the products and learn how much money they can make and you will also gain 5) new referrals from your guests.

From each party you do from your own party, your customer base will grow. The main thing to do is to stay consistent with your goals and keep on doing it. The process remains the same, just with new people.

Building your home business customer base is really as simple as that. Just get started today, avoid procrastination, follow your dreams that will help you stay focused on the goal of more money, extra time with your family, a retirement account, free vacations or whatever else it is that you want from your own home based business.
