Avon - How it works - How much can you make
Thinking of becoming an AVON Representative?  
Wondering how Avon works and if Avon will work for you?  This article covers the main
facts about Avon and show you the basic mathematical breakdown how you make your
money with Avon.

Basic Summary

Once you begin marketing Avon, you aren't working for Avon. That's THE  most common
misunderstanding.   You pay them a minimal fee of $10 dollars to become an Independent
Representative. You then take orders from buyers in your market and earn commissions
from each sale that you make.

You begin making 50% earnings for all sales you make. This lives on for the first four
"campaigns" , or time period, until  you get new catalogues. Each campaign lasts for 2
weeks, so you will be getting 50% for the first 8 weeks . After that, you get anywhere from
20 to 50%, depending on the sales you make.

So lets do the Math

If you're going to make some form of serious money with this company  "You need to
distribute about $2000 worth of products to become eligible to make the fifty percent" and
that is only on SOME products. There are several products where you'll always ONLY
make 20 percent profit. Now don't get me wrong. This is a great plan if you only need to
make a few extra hundred dollars per month. Now if you are a little more ambitious, then
you are going to have to put in some extra leg work to make bigger money.

Don't forget that you must deliver all of your products to your buyers as well. That can
take  plenty of time, not to mention the cost of fuel for your vehicle, and maintenance. The
average buyer only buys about $25 worth of products during whatever campaign. That
implies you will require about one hundred buyers to establish the $2000 sales you need
to acquire the 50% profit. That's driving to a hundred people's houses just to make one
thousand dollars every two weeks subtracting your business expenses. Please note this
paragraph estimate is only for those reps who wish to pursue a sales volume of $2,000 or
over to maintain the 50 percent profit margin.

After covering the cost of your vehicle gas, insurance, maintenance, you will need to pay
Avon for all your sales catalogues, materials, bags and packaging, samples and whatever
else you need to market your Avon business.

There's also several additional behind the scenes functions which  involve   completing
forms,  tremendous piles of paperwork, phoning customers, processing orders on the
phone,  and considering  back orders and whatever problems your recruits (If you brought
in any new reps under you)  or customers might have. When working with customers and
products, you will encounter some sort of problem, with every campaign. You can count on
that.

Keep in mind that Avon also has a great refund policy for their customers.  Bad for you.  If
a customers chooses to return certain products, you incur the loss in commission after all
the hard work, effort and smiles you put into your business.

Avon offers brownie points for introducing new members to build your team of
representatives.
