How to Earn Extra Money with Avon

If your goal is to earn extra money with Avon, it comes down to building consistent customer orders and growing your sales over time.

The more you sell each campaign, the higher your commission, which is where your income really starts to grow.

Your Goal:
Your goal is to reach $350 in campaign sales to qualify for 40% earnings. Here’s what that can look like:

Visualize Your Goal:
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 Business Profile

Set up a free Google Business Profile so local customers can find you when they search for an Avon representative in your area. This can help you reach new customers and build credibility locally.

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 simple value bundles using popular products customers already love. Bundles can increase order size and help you reach your sales goal faster.

When Avon offers demo or bundle deals in the What’s New flyer or Good Buys brochure, you can often purchase products at a discount and sell them at regular brochure pricing. This helps you create strong value for your customers while increasing your earnings.

6. Use QR Codes to Make Ordering Easier

Create a QR code that links directly to your online brochure or store so customers can shop quickly from their phone. You can save the image to your phone, print it on flyers, or add it to business cards.

7. Use the Avon Brochure as a Selling Tool

Your Avon brochure is one of the easiest ways to share current products and offers with customers. You can share it digitally, print copies to hand out, and add your contact information so customers know how to order from you.

8. Promote the Back Cover Deal

Each campaign usually features a strong offer on the back cover of the brochure. Highlighting that deal can help you start conversations, attract interest, and increase orders from customers who love a good value.

9. Partner With Local Businesses

Connect with local businesses such as salons, gyms, or boutiques and ask if you can leave brochures or business cards for their customers. Some businesses may also allow you to host a one-day pop-up event, which can help you meet new customers and generate more orders.

10. Upsell and Cross-Sell

When customers place an order, suggest related products that go well with what they are already buying. Small add-on items can increase order size and help you reach your sales goal faster.

11. Host a Beauty and Wellness Party

Invite friends, family, or neighbors to a casual Avon get-together where they can see products, try samples, and ask questions. A simple event like this can help you generate interest, build relationships, and bring in more orders.

What 40% Earnings Can Look Like

If you reach $350 in campaign sales and qualify for 40% earnings, that works out to about $140 in earnings for that campaign. Over time, those smaller wins can add up and become a meaningful part of your overall income.

Small Efforts Still Pay Off

Results will vary from campaign to campaign, but smaller orders can still move your business forward. Even if you do not reach $350 right away, consistent customer follow-up and steady sales can still help you build momentum over time.

I Only Want The Discount

How to Get 30% Off Your Personal Avon Orders

If you joined Avon mainly for the discount, the goal is simple: get the highest discount possible on your personal orders. The good news is, it’s easier than you might think. Here’s how to do it:

Your Goal:
Your goal is to reach at least $120 in orders to qualify for the 30% discount.

Steps to Build Your Order to $120

1. Reach Out to Friends & Family  
Let friends and family know you’re placing an Avon order and invite them to add their items to yours. This helps you reach your $120 goal faster.

You can send them your online brochure link or make it a fun social outing by meeting for coffee and going through the brochure together. What’s New demo purchases can also count toward your $120 goal and help you build your order faster.

2. Offer a Friends & Family Discount
Let them know you can share your Avon discount if you reach the $120 goal. This gives them a reason to help you build your order.

3. Aim for Smaller Orders
If your personal order is under $120, aim for a few smaller orders to help reach your goal. For example, five $25 orders can get you there..

4. Split Shipping Costs
When combining orders, split the shipping cost evenly so everyone saves money.

5. Calculate Taxes and Discounts
Taxes are based on brochure prices before your discount. You can choose to pass along the full discount or adjust it as needed.

Here’s a simple 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 mainly shopping for yourself, these small steps can lead to real savings. You can enjoy your Avon discount while sharing the benefits with others when it works best for you..

I Want EVERYTHING Avon Has to Offer
