Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about joining Avon. If there is not an answer to your question please email me.  

Q: How much is the kit and what all comes in it? 
A: The cost of the kit is $10 if you have a face to face appointment or $20 if you join online.
You will receive 10 brochures each for your 1st and 2nd Campaign along with other training material. During a face to face appointment you will receive your kit. If you join online Avon will send you your kit in the mail which is why the cost is higher.
 
Starting in C22 2009 starter kits will be available during your first order only. These new starter kits provide everything new Representatives need to familiarize themselves with the product line and to demo and sell Avon beauty products. Packaged separately to deliver a premium new Representative experience, there is an "Essential" kit for $49.99 ($) and a premium kit for $99.99. The new Starter kits are a seperate purchase from the $10 to join and are optional. However they come with a nice bag and 40 brochures. Its similar to the new rep bundles they used to offer.
Q: What other supplies do I need to purchase that is not in the kit?
A: Your kit comes with everything you need to start and your first order will include bags. However a few things I would recommend purchasing are What's New Bags (plastic bags to hang on door knobs) $0.60.
Q: How much does the brochures cost? 
A: Brochures come in packs of 10 so when ordering if you only need 10 brochures you will only order one pack. They start out at $5.90 for a 1 pack and go to $19.55 for 10 packs. After 10  packs they cost $1.35 per pack.
Q: How do I place my orders?
A: Once you are in the Avon system you will be able to go online and place your orders at youravon.com. You can also place your order by phone but will not get the 40% gauranteed earnings in your 1st four campaigns. You will only place one order per campaign. You do not submit an order for each customer. You will receive a multiple order fee if you do so.
Q: Does Avon have a website available to reps so they can sell to customers out of state and if so how much does it cost?
A: Yes Avon does have a website available to reps. You will receive the first 6 campaigns free. The cost of the site is $7.50 every campaign. For a limited time if you have a customer place an order through the website Avon will waive the fee for that campaign.
Q: How long does each campaign last?
A: Each campaign will last every two weeks. There are 26 campaigns in a year.
Q: How much do you make with Avon?
A: New Representatives will get 40% guaranteed earnings their first four Campaigns as long as your orders are placed online - 40% for the first four Campaigns with a $50 or more order. This contributes to a consistent new Representative experience, so as you start your new Representatives out with strong selling skills - and they achieve President's Club sales, they can sustain their earnings level and have a positive start to their business.
 
 
Q: Do I need to pay in Sales Tax on orders?
A: You will need to charge customers the appropriate sales tax for your state and when you place your order Avon will add the sales tax to your total cost of your order therefore Avon will pay in the sales tax for you.
Q: Do I need to file income tax?
A: Avon is not required to send in your name or SS# unless you make more than $5000 a year. You will need to contact an accountant for info on filing for taxes.
Q: Do I have to keep any inventory on hand?
A: No, you do not have to have inventory on hand unless you want. 
Q: Am I required to place an order every campaign?
A: No, however you will want to order books to hand out in order to get more orders. You will also need to place an order every two or three campaigns in order to stay an active member.
Q: Am I required to recruit anyone?
A: No, you are not required to recruit you can simply just sell Avon if you want. If someone is interested in joining Avon but you don’t want to come into leadership then you can refer them to Avon. However Avon has a BELIEVE IN YOUR SUCCESS program that will allow you to earn up to $150 per person you bring into Avon. If in my downline and you are not interested in becoming a leadership rep but would like to still earn the $150 per person contact me and I will show you how.
 
Q: Is it mandatory to go to the Avon meetings?
A: No, it is not mandatory but it is a great experience. This is a way to keep you motivated and to reach the goals you want to reach.
Q: What happens if I become an inactive member?
A: If you do not place an order with Avon every couple of campaigns you can become inactive if this happens you can contact your upline or district manager to find out how to become active again.
Q: Does Avon have a training program?
A: Yes Avon wants to help you become successful in reaching your goals so they made it convenient for everyone to do training through their online training program. You can do this in your own time at your own pace. And best of all it is free.
A: The average customer order is $25.
