Here’s one simple example:
To earn 40% earnings, you’ll need 10 customers placing $35 orders each. If that sounds like a lot, remember, many customers love bundling their favorite Avon products, and $35 adds up fast when you showcase best-sellers and irresistible deals!
Steps to Reach $350 in Campaign Sales
Here are simple steps you can follow each campaign to build your orders and reach your goal:
1. Expand With Google My Business
This is highly recommended—if you don’t do anything else, make sure to set up a free Google My Business listing! Once set up, it’s the easiest way to attract local customers searching for an Avon Representative near them. Being visible on Google can dramatically increase your reach and credibility.

3. Follow Up With Past Customers
Stay in touch with previous & potential buyers. Share promotions, new product launches, or their favorite products to keep them engaged. For additional strategies, watch this
video on how to follow up consistently and download the
Avon Customer Contact Form. These resources can help you establish a consistent follow-up routine and strengthen customer relationships.
4. Carry Products With You
Always keep a few popular items, like hand creams or lip balms, with you. Share them while running errands or meeting friends—it’s an easy way to make instant sales.
5. Bundle Best Sellers
Create value bundles, like a skincare set or “winter must-haves” kit. Customers often spend more on bundles, helping you hit your sales goal faster. Take advantage of the value bundles found in the What's New Demo flyer as well as the Good Buys brochure. You can purchase at great discount and sell them to customers at 25% to 35% more. Customers will still get a great price compared to the retail value.
7. Leverage QR Codes
Make it easy for customers to shop your brochure! Use a free QR code generator like
QR Code Generator to link to your online brochure. Save the QR code image on your phone, print it on flyers, or add it to your business cards.
8. Take Advantage of the Avon Brochure
The Avon Brochure is one of your most effective selling tools—it’s basically your Avon store! Share it digitally using a QR code as mentioned, or purchase packets of 10 or more to distribute the traditional way. Be sure to label the back cover with your contact information to make it easy for customers to reach you. Download 100 Places to Leave a Brochure for ideas on where to share your brochures!
9. Promote the Back Cover Deal
Every campaign promotes a special offer on the back cover of the brochure. Whether it's WOW deal bundled set offered at great discount, a purchase with purchase offer or significantly discounted product, these deals are a great way to bring in interest. Also keep an eye out for free gift with purchase offers throughout the catalog.
10. Partner With Local Businesses
Approach small local businesses, like salons, gyms, or boutiques, and offer to leave brochures or set up a small display. Some businesses may even allow you to host a “pop-up shop” for a day, giving you access to their customers.
11. Upsell and Cross-Sell
When taking orders, suggest complementary products. For example, if someone orders a skincare item, recommend a cleanser or serum from the same line. These small add-ons can quickly increase your sales.
12. Host a Beauty and Wellness Party
Invite friends, family, and neighbors for a fun Avon showcase. Set up a table with best-sellers, let everyone try samples, and share your personal recommendations. Add fun elements like light snacks and a raffle to encourage orders!
Why Earning 40 Percent Matters
What could you do with an extra $280+ a month? By earning 40% on your sales, you can achieve this in just two campaigns. With $350 in sales per campaign, you’ll take home at least $140 in earnings each time. Whether you use that money for groceries, savings, or treating yourself, the potential is exciting and impactful. And that’s just the minimum—as your sales grow, so will your earnings! Avon offers you the chance to turn small efforts into meaningful financial rewards.

Remember, small orders can make a big impact when you plan ahead and engage consistently with your network. Aim high for 40%, but know that every step forward counts!
I Only Want The Discount
How To Get 30% Off Your Personal Orders Selling Avon
If you joined Avon for your personal discount, getting the biggest discount possible is a no-brainer. How does 30% off sound? Pretty great, right? Saving on your personal orders is easier than you think. Here’s how to do it:
Your Goal:
Build your order to at least $120 to qualify for the 30% discount.
Steps to Build Your Order to $120
1. Reach Out to Friends & Family
Let close friends and family know you’re placing an Avon order. Invite them to “piggyback” their orders with yours and offer them a “Friends & Family discount.”
You can send them the link to your Online Brochure or make it a fun social thing! Meet up for coffee and go over the Current Online Brochure & What’s New flyers together. Avon’s What’s New Demo purchases will also count towards your $120 goal so you can offer them those amazing discounts as well!
2. Offer a Friends & Family Discount
Tell your friends you can only offer them your Avon Rep discount if you reach $120 in orders. This makes them invested in helping you hit your goal.
3. Average - $25 Orders
If your personal order is less than $120, plan for five $25 orders (yours + four others) to hit the goal. Adjust the numbers depending on your personal order.
4. Split Shipping Costs
For combined orders, share the shipping cost evenly. For example, if Avon charges $8, and you have five orders, each person contributes $1.60.
5. Calculate Taxes and Discounts
Taxes apply to brochure prices before your discount. Offer the 30% discount to your Friends & Family or adjust it as you prefer.
Here’s an example:
Brochure Cost: $25
- 30% Discount: $7.50
+ Tax (10%): $2.50
+ Shipping: $1.60
= Subtotal: $29.10
Amount Due: $21.60
Even if you’re primarily shopping for yourself, these small steps can add up to significant savings. Enjoy the benefits of your Avon Representative discount while sharing the perks with others when it suits you!
