Avon

[Sarah1978]

Hi, I am considering doing some Avon sales. Has anyone else done this with Avon?

[visitor1]

I haven't but a friend of my mums done it and she did very well from her sales.

i did avon for a year or so a little while back, and it was really successful. only reason i gave it up was cos i got together with DH and we were going away in the truck so often that i never had spare time for it!!! anyway, as long as you're prepared to work at it, you can do pretty well (you really need to be able to work a territory and drop/collect the caralogues) - i was working with a friend so we had most of the town in which we lived, plus we sold at work - our average combined order every 3-4 weeks was around $2500 - and we got to split 35% (i think) of that, so fairly reasonable income. we spent maybe 2 hours a week dropping and collecting catalogues, had a bit of outlay for calls to people to make sure they were ready for their stuff to be delivered, plus products for advertising and stuff, but in reality, it was pretty profitable

HTH

I just saw the ad blink up here on BB & was thinking this might be something worth looking into. My MIL, mum & sister use a lot of Avon, so I'm sure I'd be able to make some money off them alone

I just wondered, has anyone else done it?

I did it a few years back when I was on my own. TBH for me it didn't work out that great. As there was already a consultant in my neighbourhood I was only selling to family and friends. Once I got my own stuff too I was probably only just breaking even, some months I owed.

I guess it depends like most things, how much work your prepared to put into it.

How's it going for you Jas? I was thinking about starting up.. is there any initial outlay?

I'm doing it now but I don't have the time to really make it successful. I was doing a territory but am giving that up now because I've returned to full time work. I just do it at work now. My only problems are these:
1. You have to pay for the books which can be expensive if you aren't making much money
2. I buy way too much for myself

Oh ok how much are the books?
Buying too much for myself & family would be my problem too hehe I just love Avon too much!
