Benefits of Selling Avon at Home
There is a lot of reasons why people choose to walk away from the corporate world & start their own business at home. Here are the benefits you can enjoy with starting your own Avon business at home:
- Don’t need to commute to & from the office– your office is in your home! According to the U.S. Federal Highway Administration, “Americans spend an average 348 hours each year commuting” (AllBusiness Editors, 2017) Imagine how much work you can accomplish with that time in not having to commute to & from your office.
- Easier to balance work & family life. With having your own business at home, you are able to create a schedule that works best around your family’s routine. I know first hand what I love is that when one of my kids is home sick from school, I don’t have to worry about calling out of work. I can still do my work & be home with my sick child. Also, when my family plans a vacation. I can go! No need to be approved or plan around others who have senority.
- You are the boss! You choose when & where you work, what you wear & how to run your business. No more stressing over the office politics & favoritism. You are in complete control of your business!
- In business for yourself, but not in business by yourself. You will have the support to back you up from Avon & your upline to help you & guide you as you start your Avon business. You will also be apart of a supportive community with other representatives across the U.S..
- You are in control of the money. With being in complete control of your business, you are in control of how much you earn. It is the basic principle of: “If there is a will, there is a way!” All the profit you earn from your Avon business is yours to decide what to invest back into your business & what to keep for your personal needs. Want a raise? You decide what you need to do to rise up in sales & leadership levels & you will give yourself that raise!

Selling Avon at Home
In recent years, Avon has broaden their product line to include more then just beauty products. When a customer browses the current brochure, he/she will find products in not only in beauty like makeup or skincare but also fashion, jewelry and even home/lifestyle products like decorations, kitchenware, entertainment & more. Beginning in January, Avon will even have a *NEW* health & wellness line called, Espira. Customers can now enjoy more variety making it appealing to literally everyone! With the holiday season around the corner, you can help people get all of their holiday shopping done right in the comfort of their own home.
To create a successful Avon business at home, I always recommend to take advantage of ALL that Avon has to offer. This not only helps a representative have multiple avenues to earn money, but it also gives them choices to offer those they share their business with. Each person you come into contact with has their own individual wants & needs. It is up to us, as Avon representatives, to show him/her how Avon can meet their wants/needs. There are 3 ways you can offer for people to purchase Avon products:
- Face to Face Service with Representative
- Shop Online
- Fundraiser
Face to Face Sales
The foundation of selling Avon was created by the “Mother of Avon”, Mrs. P.F.E. Albee. She created a business plan that would have her go door to door & share her samples with the housewives so they could test out the products & choose the ones they would like to purchase. She would, also, offer a way for these stay at home moms to earn money at home by sharing samples & selling perfumes in their local area. By the time Mrs. Albee retired, “she recruited & trained almost 5,000 representatives” (Encyclopedia of American Women in Business From Colonial Times to Present: Volume 1 A-L, Krisman, 2005).
Check out 5 tips from the “Mother of Avon”, First Avon Lady, Mrs. P.F.E. Albee at 5 Essential Business Lessons from Avon’s Very First Representative.
Over the years, the door to door selling aspect has expanded with new ideas & ways for representatives to gain new customers & grow their business. Here are some ideas on how you can work your business with face to face service in your local area:
- One of the the most important tools you have is the Avon brochure. Always having a bunch with your contact information & online store link in your purse/bag where ever you go so you can hand these out or leave them around town for people to grab. To learn how you can get the most out of the Avon brochure, check out Avon Selling Tips: Selling Avon with Brochures.
- Put up fliers in your local grocery store, community center and/or churches bulletin boards with information about buying & selling Avon. You never know what the person needs when they look at your flyer. Click here for a list of fliers ready to go for you to use.
- Participating in events in your local area is a great way to get your name out there in your local area. You can also enjoy on the spot sales with any products that you may have on hand.
- Advertise yourself by wearing Avon products, placing a decal sticker on your car or even wearing an Avon pin. When you are out & about doing your daily errands, whom ever you come across will know you are the Avon Lady.
Online Sales
When you sign up to become an Avon representative, you will be eligible to set up your very own e-Store through your personal Avon account at www.youravon.com.

Online shopping is on the rise, with more & more people doing their shopping right online. So being able to offer your customers a way to shop online will only increase your sales, which means it will increase your earnings. What’s so great about online sales is all you have to do is share your link & Avon will do the rest!

With the online store, you are now able to service customers outside of your local area. Just like with your face to face sales, the best way to grow your online business is by sharing. Here are some ideas on how you can work your business online:
- Put your online store link on all of your printed materials including adding it to your email signature. This will provide anyone who receives the printed material/email will have the link for them to start their online shopping.
- Share your business on all of your social media profiles. I’m talking about Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Snapchat, Tumblr & any other social media profiles you have.

Fundraiser Sales
Though this is the more difficult of the three to get interest from customers, once you do an Avon fundraiser, you will see all the hard work was worth it. With a registered fundraiser, you will receive 50% discount on the orders. You will then share the 50% with the organization. Most representatives offer 30%-40% depending on how much work is entailed. One of the benefits that representatives love about fundraisers is that they are a great way to boost your annual Award Sales having you reach higher sales levels.
Avon will provide you with all the tools you will need to run a successful Avon fundraiser through your personal Avon account on youravon.com. Here are some ideas on how you can get fundraisers for your Avon business:
- Place fliers in everything you hand out letting people know you can help them raise funds for a local organization or cause. Click here for a list of fliers ready to go for you to use.
- Send an email out to everyone you know letting them know the benefits of a fundraiser & if they know anyone/organization who could use your help.
- Send a professional letter to the local schools & churches to let them know you can help them with their upcoming fundraisers.
- Hold a fundraiser yourself for your favorite cause & show your customers how great Avon fundraiser are.
