Greetings to you all,
My names are Abigail Nzima i am 29yrs. Born and raised in Kitwe Zambia. All my life i have wanted to run my own business and employ others also help the less privileged in society. I studied business administration at Evelyn hone college. One of the most highly rated public colleges in Zambia. I thank God i attained my diploma. I still have not accomplished my dream of running my own business lol but i do help out the needy where i can. It has been a tough road.
Fast forward to 2017 i am now married with two kids and working, but unfortunatley my husband lost his job two years ago after being unfairly dismissed. I started doing Avon business just to boost my income but slowly i couldn't manage it because i was in a a debt crisis. Right now i need an external income to restart my business since i managed to pay almost all my debts with my salary, but it has been hard to save since i pay rentals, bills, food, and fees for my kids.
Right now i am employed as an administrative assistant. Thats the only source of income i have at the moment. But with the loan i intend to restart my Avon business which i did because i have a readily market and clients available. The last time i sold Avon products i was amazed at how quickly the business grew. Because as an active member we order at very discounted prices, then we resell at prices that atleast give us enough profit. Plus for me who is working i cant manage to travel around so Avon is perfect.
I intend to buy Avon products online and resell them here in Zambia. The products are beauty products and they include, Men and Women's perfumes, lotions, body washes, lipsticks, mascaras, eye shadow, nail polish and a whole more beauty products for both male and female.
The discounts and prices differ per month according to the promotions in the catalogues. So i can not give specific prices now. I will estimate like if i buy products worth $100 i can sell them for $200 and get a 100% profit. Its a good business and has lots of incentives too.
