Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about joining Avon. If there is not an answer to your question please email me.
Q: How much is the kit and what all comes in it?
A: The cost of the kit is $10 if you have a face to face appointment or $20 if you join online.
You will receive 10 brochures each for your 1st and 2nd Campaign along with other training material. During a face to face appointment you will receive your kit. If you join online Avon will send you your kit in the mail which is why the cost is higher.
Starting in C22 2009 starter kits will be available during your first order only. These new starter kits provide everything new Representatives need to familiarize themselves with the product line and to demo and sell Avon beauty products. Packaged separately to deliver a premium new Representative experience, there is an "Essential" kit for $49.99 ($) and a premium kit for $99.99. The new Starter kits are a seperate purchase from the $10 to join and are optional. However they come with a nice bag and 40 brochures. Its similar to the new rep bundles they used to offer.
Q: What other supplies do I need to purchase that is not in the kit?
A: Your kit comes with everything you need to start and your first order will include bags. However a few things I would recommend purchasing are What's New Bags (plastic bags to hang on door knobs) $0.60.
Q: How much does the brochures cost?
A: Brochures come in packs of 10 so when ordering if you only need 10 brochures you will only order one pack. They start out at $5.75 for a 1 pack and go to $19.00 for 10 packs. After 10 packs they cost $1.30 per pack.
Q: How do I place my orders?
A: Once you are in the Avon system you will be able to go online and place your orders at youravon.com. You can also place your order by phone but will not get the 40% gauranteed earnings in your 1st four campaigns. You will only place one order per campaign. You do not submit an order for each customer. You will receive a multiple order fee if you do so.
Q: Does Avon have a website available to reps so they can sell to customers out of state and if so how much does it cost?
A: Yes Avon does have a website available to reps. You will receive the first 6 campaigns free. The cost of the site is $7.50 every campaign. For a limited time if you have a customer place an order through the website Avon will waive the fee for that campaign.
Q: How long does each campaign last?
