Hi I was wondering if anyone had ever sold avon products? i am interested in doing it but i am worried about putting in loads of work and not making any money or loosing money.i would be really grateful if people could tell me about their experiences.
thanks

I have never sold it but always buy from them. I think the products will sell themselves to be honest. There is great prices in the catalogue.

Young girls starting to wear make-up and teenagers are prob the ones to target. They want products that arn't too expensive. I'd get the money up front though or you could be stuck with a load of stock you cannot shift.

Put up posters ect in gyms, youth information centres around doors in your area. I would get a sim card especially for your avon callers as you may start getting prank calls.

I tried selling Avon for a while but it was too much work. I put up a few posters in supermarkets, but people generally prefer to buy from friends/relatives.
A friend of mines sister sells it and does a good little business, (thats why i tried it)
Its free to get the brochures and you can get free samples too to get you started, you generally make something like 10% or 20% of the total of what you sell.
Good luck

My friend did it for a year you have to put the effort in.

It works out for every €100 you make you make €10
So if you know allot of people who will buy a good bit then it is worth it

isnt that illegal? thought some 17 year old from killiney had to go to court, had to pay a hefty fine was lucky to get away without getting a crimial record.

yeah was talking to my friend yesterday about this, she said that in the states people are getting 3 month sentences for this, ireland will soon follow their lead. so i dunno if its wise to talk about this.

I would sell it in work but someone already does it. basically she just gives us a brochure every month and someone always buys stuff off her. It's that simple. No hard sell or nothing. go for it

heard that as well, they've broken some by-law due to using ALOT of animal products/testing in their products, which hasnt really been done in awhile. so they are going down!!
