Applications to be a vendor at WinterFest are available at the Chamber of Commerce office. In addition to our normal vendors, we hope to attract many specialty crafters. If you have a cute gift or stocking stuffer or are a service organization that wants to sell items as part of fundraising, the Chamber would love to get you involved. Don't be a Grinch, Celebrate Small Business Saturday! I encourage you to shop local this holiday season.

BUSINESS OF THE MONTH By Michelle Lopez Avon is a company that sells directly to the public through independent representatives. It was founded in 1886 and was originally called the California Perfume Company. Avon is not just cosmetics anymore. Our line of products include cosmetics, jewelry, gadgets, seasonal items and much more. They are very diversified in their products and do not allow product testing on animals. I became an Avon representative because I love the product line and enjoy the one-on-one contact with customers. The main focus of my business is to give great customer service. Providing good customer service involves making it easy and convenient for my customers to view, purchase, receive or even return any product, if necessary, for whatever reason. I do not charge extra fees for returns. I always look for the best price for my customers and give special discounts to Chamber members and my seniors. I strongly believe and have found that referrals come from satisfied customers and customer satisfaction is my ultimate goal.
