Tips on Choosing a Direct Sales Company - Consider Starting a Makeup or Skin Care Business
>>>>> Makeup Business
Women have been buying cosmetics from their neighborhood independent sales representatives
for over 200 years.
From its start as the California Fragrance Company, with
one sales representative in New Hampshire, to it's current sales force of almost
5 million representative in over 100 countries worldwide, Avon is now considered
the #1 direct seller.
When you mention direct sales Avon almost always comes
to mind.
Of course the pink Cadillac with which Mary Kay® Cosmetics rewards
its consultants, makes the company also nearly synonymous with the work at home
makeup business. In it's 40 years the company has nearly doubled sales each
year to reach over $1.8 billion dollars in wholesale revenue in 2004.
If you're considering starting a home based makeup business those two giants
along with many other relative newcomers to the industry are worth considering.
There's no shortage of buyers for cosmetic and personal care products. The Direct
Sales Association (DSA) reported US direct retail sales reached $29.5 Billion
in 2003 and close to 30% of those sales were personal care products.....cosmetics,
jewelry, health and wellness products, etc. It's estimated that women use an
average of 12 personal care items each day and 90% of girls over the age 14
use cosmetics. (Source: Grooming

>>>>> Skin Care Business
Skin care and anti-aging has become big business in recent years and many of
the cosmetics companies have added skin care to their product lines. Other companies
have started up specifically to offer the line.
Much of the current interest in anti-aging products is contributed the the
baby boomer generation. As they reached their 40's and 50's they began to search
for products that would make them live longer and look better.
Specialty and spa products and lotions offer a
feeling of luxury at an affordable price and an
increased interest in "all natural" and "organic"
product lines opens another market.
Benefits of choosing a cosmetics or skincare business for your home
business:
Everyday, recognizable product. Everyone knows what it is and understands
why they "need" it.
Recognizable brands. Many of the cosmetic companies are well known and have
good reputations.
Consumable goods. Your customers will run out of the products and need more.
You can choose from products lines that target specific markets.
