With Avon There’s Two Ways To Sell
In Avon, there’s two ways to sell and those are face-to-face and online sales. Your earnings from sales are based on how much you sell in a given campaign (two week period). Your online store website is FREE. The great thing about your website is that you can customize it to look a way that fits your personality. Our websites are also very modern and look professional. Avon even provides tools for you to share your business on Social Media with a few simple clicks.
Representative discount on your own purchases is based on the earnings level. We also have demo books that allow representatives to order products at a discount before they are released to customers.
With Avon There Are Two Ways To Earn
You earn based on your sales as explained above, but if you choose you can also earn extra bonuses and money from building a sales team underneath you. Most direct sales businesses offer this opportunity and Avon is no exception. Leadership representatives also get special incentives such as free products, bonus checks, and free trips! The Leadership program is complex so I will not go into full details here, but if you join Avon and are interested in learning more there are many ways to learn more information on the Leadership program.
Costs to Maintain Your Avon Business
Once you have paid your start-up cost there are minimal fees to maintain your business. You should expect to pay for your brochures, samples, demo products, and sales tools. You should also expect to pay shipping when submitting your orders to Avon. Shipping costs can be covered when you collect an order process charge from your face to face customers. Most representatives charge .75, however some charge $1.00 or more. I have explained to customers that this helped cover their shipping and the majority of customers are understanding. The order process charge also helps you cover expenses such as your brochures. Online earnings can also help you cover these business expenses. You decide how much to spend on brochures, samples, demos, and other sales tools. It is important to look at what your profit will be for the campaign and base your investment back into your business on what you are making each campaign.

About Amanda Davis – My Avon Story
I was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia and still live locally. I have my Masters in Teaching for Early and Elementary Education and I am an early childhood teacher. I joined Avon in August 2011 in order to earn an income around going to college full time. When I first joined Avon, I had no idea what I was getting myself into and I had never heard of direct sales. My mother had actually been an Avon Representative briefly before I was born and she shared some about the company with me and said that I should go for it! I met with my upline sales leader and she signed me up and the rest is history! Over the last several years, Avon has become a major passion of mine and I have enjoyed being able to share Avon and it’s products and missions with those around me.In 2013, I took an interest in expanding my online Avon business and since then I have been blogging and growing my Social Media presence. Avon is truly loved by many and when you start sharing that online you can really see the love and support from others worldwide. Even though we can only serve customers in the United States and share the Avon opportunity with those in the USA, worldwide followers will find you on Social Media and the web. In 2014, I was awarded the Spirit of Avon award and I earned the coveted President’s Club sales level and my first Mrs. P.F.E. Albee figurine. Mrs. P.F.E. Albee was the first Avon Lady back when David McConnell (Avon’s founder) had the California Perfume Company (which later became Avon Products). In 2016, Avon Products North America was bought out and thus New Avon, LLC was born. I have been super excited for the new changes of New Avon, LLC! I do not have a family yet, but my hope is that when I decide to start one I can use Avon as a source of income in order to stay at home with my children when they are small like my mom stayed home with me and my brother until we both were in school.
