What is the cost for becoming an Avon Rep? -

My mother in law was an Avon rep for a while. She really didn t make any sales so she stopped doing it. While she was a rep, she would bring books over for me to look at. When I asked her for samples of lipsticks and perfume, she said that she didn t have any because she had to buy them herself. She also said she had to buy her books every month.I am interested in becoming a rep. I know someone that used to do Avon back in the 80 s but she always had samples. I was under the impression you get them free. I haven t found any information online telling me that you have to buy them. Is my mother in law right?

It s cheap to sign on with Avon, but there seems to be a lot of extras you need to buy to keep it going. If you think you can get along without the samples at first, it might be worth a try. Then buy more with your commissions. It just depends on what you want to buy upfront. I paid more than $10 to get started with my Scentsy business, but that s all I needed to get started. So each business has it s pros and cons. What s important is you find a business that you can be passionate about. A business where you love the products and others are able to see your passion. if you focus on that, you ll go far.Good luck!Lisa

Just like someone had mentioned. IT is ten dollars to START. but from there, you have to BUY your supples which kind of sucks :(I actually was going to try out avon. luckily I found the company I am working for now. I work from home btw. If interested. Send me an email :)Good luck:)

10 dollars be a rep. plus 18 + years oldand you have to buy your own samples and catalogs

Good luck! :-)
