How to Have a Successful Avon Vendor Event

updated August 2024

The first thing you need to do is find a venue to set up your display.  I recommend starting with a free or low price table fee.  
You don't need a lot of inventory to have a successful event.  All you need are brochures, flyers or business cards and a few items for cash and carry.
You can get fancy with gift baskets, and more products, but the most important thing is to have fun, meet new people, and get contact info for your new sales and recruiting prospects.  

You can find videos on Avon's YouTube Channel, and display them on a tablet or laptop at your table.  That can help relieve shyness or uncertainty about what to say to your visitors. 

Chatting with some early birds about skincare while setting up my display. 

You can also use games to make your display more fun and interactive.  
You can fill a container with lipstick samples and have people guess the number.  Have them provide their contact info with their guess, and award a prize end of the show for the closest guess. This is a variation on the idea of a door prize drawing. 

I found a small prize wheel on eBay for a low price, but it does the job, and attracts a lot of kids, young and old.  I use prizes that cost me less than a dollar, for example lip balms from the Avon Outlet Book, travel size hand creams, and deluxe samples.  I put a label on each prize with my contact information.  The idea is not to make money from this activity, but to get Avon products into the hands of consumers so they can try them, and contact you to order. 

Last but not least, the most important part of a vendor show is what you do after the event.  When you deliver the prize to your winner, you have the opportunity to connect with that person and offer to follow up with future campaign books.  And, you have contact information from all the people who did not win the prize.  You can call or email them to offer an Avon book or samples.  You can also get permission to add them to your email list.  Your Avon representative website has an automated email program to help you follow up with your customers.

Avon says, "Anytime, Anywhere, Always Ask."   Do your prospects need quality skin care products at a reasonable price point?  Do they need a way to earn more money?  Do they want a discount on their Avon orders?  A vendor event gives you the perfect time and place to ask guests about their Avon needs.

To buy Avon products, please contact your Avon representative or  visit my Online Store.

How to Achieve President’s Club While Saving Money Everyday!

This article is designed for my team of Avon representatives.  In the spirit of many Avon reps who share their successes so that all of us may benefit, I am making this information public.

I have been a representative for a total of  12 years.  I achieved President's Club (PC) status all but my first year.  The best part of PC is that I am guaranteed 40% earnings on core products, and 25% earnings on all third-party products ( those marked in the brochure with a ❖ symbol).   I'm going to tell you how you can achieve PC every year, no matter how many people you know, or how much time or money you have to invest. And, best of all, you can save money on your household expenses. 

My 1st Mrs. Albee Award for 1991 President's Club Achievement

This may seem to be too good to be true, but I am going to show you how just by using products that you currently buy retail at your grocery, department store or pharmacy, you can become your own best customer AND save money on products you and your family already use.

New representatives who haven't yet achieved PC earn commission in the form of discounts, according to the amount of their order in any given campaign. This order size amount includes sales tools, brochures and samples.

Also, in every campaign, you are entitled to purchase items from the "What's New" demo books for upcoming campaigns.  For example, when you place your Campaign 23 order, you can also order from the Campaign 24 and Campaign 25 What's New brochures.

You can find the What's New online from the ordering screen: https://www.youravon.com/us-home/my-orders/whatsnew-brochure  if you haven't placed an order in the previous campaign.

Every What's New features products that are deeply discounted for all representatives, even those who have not achieved PC.  Here's the first example of how you can save money while becoming your best customer:

Everyone needs some type of body lotion.  Here is a great deal on the Bonus 33.8 oz size of your choice of formulas.  Your price is only $8.05 each!  

Take the Moisture Therapy Intensive Healing and Repair lotion for example. The comparable product available in retail stores is Eucerin Intensive Repair Dry Skin Lotion, and comes in a 16.9 oz. bottle. You would have to buy two of these at $9.59 each to get the same amount in your bonus size Moisture Therapy Intensive Healing and Repair Lotion.   That's $19.18!  

By ordering the product from yourself, you save at least $11.13!

This is just one example.  As you go through your home with an Avon brochure in hand, I'm sure you can find many other ways to save.  

One of my favorite products is the Avon senses line of hand soaps.  I keep one in each of our bathrooms, and also at the kitchen sink.    I also keep a tube of Moisture Therapy Intensive Healing and Repair Hand Cream by all the sinks for after washing.   

This happens to be specially priced in a recent Avon Book 4.2 oz. for $2.50.

The comparable product in retail stores is Neutrogena's Norwegian Formula Fragrance Free. A 2 oz. tube costs 5.99.  Let's say, for the sake of argument, that this campaign, you only have $50 in customer orders, which entitles you to a 20% discount.  Your cost for the Moisture Therapy Intensive Healing and Repair Hand Cream would be $2.  You would have to buy a little more than 2 of the Neutrogena brand to get the same amount as in one tube of Avon hand cream, and that would cost you over $12.  When you buy from your own Avon business, you save at least $10!

I could go on all day about this, and will post some more of my favorite money saving deals as well as other ways to grow your business soon.  In the meantime, what can you find in your home to replace with an Avon product, and how much will you save?

How to Earn Money As A Successful Avon Representative

If you're thinking about joining Avon as a representative, or if you have newly joined,

you may be wondering how you will get paid, and what activities you need to do to earn money
with Avon.

The answer is that there are many ways to make money with Avon, and you can choose
whatever ways work best for you and your lifestyle. I'll detail as many as I can in this post.

1. The obvious - direct selling - face to face. This is when you make a list of everyone you know,
contact them to let them know you have started your own business, and that they can count on you
for all their Avon needs. Avon provides a commission structure with a "kickstart" program for new
representatives in their first 7 Campaigns. (Each Campaign lasts 2 weeks).
You collect orders and payment from your customers, pay Avon for your cost of the products sold
and keep the rest as your profit.

2. Direct selling through your online store. Share the free website provided by Avon and let
your customers shop with you online. The customers pay on the website, get delivery to their
homes, and Avon pays you the same commission rate as you would earn on face-to-face sales.
If you have a balance with Avon, your online commissions will be processed as a credit on your
account. If your commissions exceed your balance, you can choose direct deposit to your bank,
or have your commission loaded onto a debit card provided by Avon.

This option is maximum reward for minimum effort and cost - you don't have to spend gas money
and time delivering the orders. It does take some time to build these sales into something
substantial. Avon provides free social selling tools to help promote your online business, and if
you post consistently, and follow up with a personal touch by email or private message, you can
grow this part of your business without ever leaving the house. I also mail brochures and
samples to my online customers to thank them for shopping with me.

3. Recruiting and Mentoring. Avon is more fun and more profitable when you invite others to join.
At first, this may seem counter-intuitive, because many people who are successful in sales are
very competitive. However, there is more than enough business to go around, and you may find
that you learn more when you are mentoring others. This helps you increase your own sales
success while you are building your team sales. Avon has a generous compensation plan with
bonuses for recruiting and team building.

4. Fundraising. There are so many worthy causes, and non-profit organizations looking for money.
You can help them with Avon's fundraising program. There are special flyers and product bundles
designed for fundraisers, and you are guaranteed 50% commission on all registered fundraiser
sales. You decide how much to offer the organization. Depending on the size of the sale, you can
earn while giving back to a worthy cause. This is also a great way to build sales volume
(which is important to your future commission when you achieve President's Recognition Program
level sales), and get new customers who may order from you after the fundraiser is over.
The President's Recognition Program is available to representatives who achieve President's
Club - $10,000 sales volume in a calendar year - or above.

5. Use your own online store for your personal Avon shopping, or for "add-on" customer orders
that you get just after you've submitted your regular order. I recommend only submitting one regular
order to Avon per 2-week campaign because there is a shipping charge (between $6 and $10)
for those orders. At your online store, shipping is always FREE for a $40 order or more.
