Yes—you can focus on selling Avon online, using your personal online shop and digital brochure. Customers can place orders online and choose direct delivery, so you don’t have to build a door-to-door brochure round or personally deliver those orders.
That makes online selling an option if you prefer sharing products digitally or want to fit Avon around other commitments.
Your main role is to introduce people to the products, answer questions and encourage customers to shop through your personal link.
If you’re considering becoming a representative, our guide to joining Avon explains how to get started with Carolyn.
How does selling Avon online work?
Avon provides representatives with an online shop and digital brochure that they can share with customers.
The basic process is:
- Share your personal shop or brochure link. Introduce customers to a product, collection or current offer.
- Customers browse and order online. They choose the products they want and follow the checkout process.
- Avon arranges direct delivery. For orders placed using this option, you don’t need to receive and deliver the products yourself.
- You earn on qualifying sales. Your earnings depend on the commission rules that apply to your account and the products ordered.
Use the personal links provided in your representative account so customers shop with you. A general link to Avon’s website may not connect their order to your business.
Do you need to deliver brochures or go door to door?
You can choose to concentrate on digital selling rather than distributing paper brochures.
Your digital brochure lets customers browse the range without needing a printed copy. You can share it with people who are interested and make it easy for them to return when they want to order.
You can also change your approach over time. Starting online doesn’t prevent you from sharing printed brochures later, and you can offer both options if that suits your customers.
Do you need your own website?
You don’t need to build a separate website to get started. Avon provides your online shop and digital brochure.
A useful first step is to open your links on your phone and see what the customer sees. Check how they browse products, find delivery information and place an order.
Getting familiar with that journey makes it easier to answer questions and confidently show someone how to shop with you.
Do you need to buy stock?
For customer orders placed through your shop for direct delivery, you don’t need to buy and hold those products yourself.
You can introduce customers to the range through your digital shop and brochure. Buying products to photograph, try or demonstrate is something you can consider later.
You also don’t need to purchase a large supply of additional selling materials before starting. Our guide to Avon joining costs and the Essentials Pack explains what’s included when you begin.
How do you find customers online?
Your online shop gives customers somewhere to order. Sharing useful, relevant content gives them a reason to visit.
You can start with people you already know who are interested in Avon, then gradually build a wider audience.
Share something specific
A post about one fragrance, skincare product or gift idea gives people something concrete to explore.
Explain what caught your attention, who might enjoy it and where they can find it. If you’ve used the product yourself, share your own experience.
Make the next step easy
Include your personal shopping link where appropriate and explain how customers can order.
Someone seeing your post for the first time may not know that Avon can deliver their order directly.
Use a channel you enjoy
You could start with Facebook, Instagram, short videos or another channel you already understand. Choose somewhere you can share regularly and respond to questions.
There’s no need to launch accounts everywhere at once.
Stay in touch with interested customers
Let customers know when a new brochure is available or when something relevant to their interests appears.
Ask whether they want updates, rather than adding everyone you know to a messaging list.
What could you post about?
Useful content can come from the products and questions you’re already exploring. For example:
- A walkthrough of a few products from the current brochure.
- Your experience of a fragrance or skincare product you use.
- Gift ideas within a particular budget.
- A short demonstration of how to browse your digital brochure.
- Answers to questions customers have asked you.
- A reminder of an offer’s closing date, after checking the details.
You don’t have to make every post a sales message. Helping someone choose a product or understand how ordering works can be just as useful.
Use Avon’s current representative guidance for product claims, brand materials and the channels you sell through.
What does an online order look like in practice?
Imagine you share a post about a fragrance and include your personal shop link.
An interested customer follows that link, browses the products and places an order using the direct-delivery option. Avon handles delivery, while you remain available for product questions and future recommendations.
You don’t need to collect that order on paper or arrange a personal delivery.
The delivery options, charges and any free-delivery offers available to the customer are shown during their shopping journey.
How much can you earn selling Avon online?
You earn from qualifying customer orders connected to your representative account.
The amount depends on your applicable commission level, the products ordered and any adjustments such as returns. Having an online shop doesn’t guarantee a particular number of orders or income.
Our Avon rep earnings guide explains the difference between sales, commission and profit, with examples of how the calculations work.
Can you sell Avon online alongside another job?
Online selling gives you flexibility over when you share products and respond to customers.
You might create a few posts when you have time, share the digital brochure when a new campaign starts and set aside a regular window for answering questions.
Customers can browse your shop without waiting for you to visit with a brochure. You can then build a routine around the time you have available.
