Thinking about becoming an Avon representative?
If you enjoy beauty products and would like to explore selling them, Avon offers online and local selling options that you can fit around other commitments. You would be running your own business as an independent representative, earning from qualifying sales rather than receiving a salary.
For the practical steps, read our guide to joining Avon, including the Essentials Pack, ways to sell and how to apply with Carolyn.
How does being an Avon rep work?
You introduce customers to Avon products through your digital brochure, online shop, printed brochures or personal recommendations. You can choose one approach or combine several, depending on how you prefer to work and how your customers like to shop.
For orders placed through your online shop using direct customer delivery, Avon arranges delivery. With orders you handle yourself, you organise customer orders, payments and deliveries.
How do Avon earnings work?
You earn commission or a sales margin on qualifying product sales. Avon advertises up to 32% commission, subject to its programme terms. This is a maximum rate, not a starting rate or a guaranteed return on every sale.
New representatives have a welcome programme for their first three campaigns. Ongoing Avon Rewards levels use qualifying sales over a quarter. The rate and products that qualify depend on the rules applying to your account, so the calculation is not simply that every monthly sale earns 15–32%.
Our Avon rep earnings guide explains the arrangements with worked examples. What remains after business expenses is different from your total sales or commission, and earnings are not guaranteed.
You can focus on selling products without building a team. If you later explore sales leadership, read the separate qualification and reward terms before deciding whether that role suits you.
What do you need to get started?
The Essentials Pack normally costs £10, with promotional offers sometimes reducing the price. You can start your first month with the pack and Avon’s free online shop and digital brochure. Extra brochures and samples can follow as your customer base grows.
See our guide to Avon joining costs and the Essentials Pack for what is included. Check the current pack price and account conditions during your application.
Could selling Avon suit you?
You choose when and how to introduce customers to Avon. Building repeat business still takes time: you will need to find customers, answer questions, learn about products and keep your records organised.
If you are still deciding, our guide to whether becoming an Avon rep is worth it can help you think through your goals and preferred selling approach.
