10 Benefits of Being an Avon Representative

1.      Be your own boss! You set your own schedule and have complete control when it comes to how your business will be run. This is about you and your dreams, not mine or the CEO’s.

2.      Earn 20-50% commission on everything you sell (that also means saving 20-50% on your own purchases!) + HUGE earnings opportunities and bonuses if you build your own team! All you have to do is find other people who would also benefit from an extra stream of income, need the flexibility to stay at home with their children or whatever their reason may be. People join Avon for many different reasons, so don’t miss sharing the Avon opportunity with someone just because you think they won’t be interested. You never know – this could be the opportunity they have been searching for!

3.      No keeping inventory. You will not be required to purchase products upfront in hopes that you will be able to sell them.

4.      Try out new products before everyone else! You will always be ahead of the curve and have the opportunity to demonstrate new products for your customers and friends.

5.      Tax Deductions. As an Avon Representative, you are self-employed. What this means for you: there are perks that you just can’t get as an employee. Some examples of the types of things you can write off when you file your taxes are business tools (brochures, samples, bags), demonstration products, gasoline/bus fare, office supplies (labels, paper, ink/toner, etc.), cell phone service and internet. Basically, anything you use to help you run your business can be deducted!
6.      Be a part of an amazing team! As a Representative, you are in business for yourself, not by yourself.

7.      Incredible Incentives. Avon wants to reward you for your hard work! Some of the Avon incentives have included free iPads, Keurig coffee makers, cruises, trips to Mexico and many others.

8.      Fundraising Opportunities. Avon has fundraising flyers already made up for you to use. All of our fundraising products are 50% earnings – it’s up to you how you would like to split the profit with the organization you are fundraising for!

9.      All the tools and resources you need to run a successful business. Avon offers so many great tools to their Representatives, so you can spend more of your valuable time on the activities that are going to earn you money. You get full access to our Representative-only website where you can enter your orders, keep track of customers, print invoices, gain helpful tips on how to grow your business and so much more. You will also have your own customizable website where customers can shop at their own convenience, 24/7!

10.  FREE training and support available whenever you need it! If you have questions, concerns or just need inspiration, it’s here for you. Your Leadership Representative and District Sales Manager are here to help in any way we can, so if you are struggling don’t hesitate to ask for some help! Avon also offers fantastic online trainings that you can access through your portal at your own convenience.


Avon gives you the tools – all you have to do is use them!
