Earning potential - it really depends what you need the Avon for. If it's a bit extra each month then that should be achievable. If you need to do it on a larger scale like myself, then that's down to good luck as much as hard work. If I hadn't been able to get a large territory (900 houses, about half of the large village I'm in) I simply wouldn't get these sales, but if you have a network of people to approach that could go some way to making up for having a smaller territory. My earnings pay for the supermarket shop, toiletries, mid-priced skincare (some would say expensive), random stuff for the house and the odd bit of furniture/diy (just bought a carpet remnant and underlay and paid for fitter, for example).

Bad campaign - C13 was a slump for me (but matched C9). Putting it down to the time of year. Really surprised to only sell 1 argan spray. This time last year I sold at least 10 of the serum.

Unavailable items - your invoice will show whether you've been charged for these. No pricing info next to them = no charge. If they've been charged but are missing from the box you'll need to do an immediate replacement request online.

I've always thought the best way to think of avon is that's its flexible and you can do a lot of it at home when it suits you - probably not worth thinking of it in terms of an hourly wage, especially in the beginning when everything takes longer while you get the hang of things. As IG has said - if you need a lot of money, better to get a part time job, but for people who have other commitments that doesn't allow this (already working, child care etc), then it can be a good, flexible way to make some extra money providing you get reasonable sales.

Hello again,

Have the lipsy bow sunglasses in C14 got a fixed discount? Or do you earn 25% of the £18.. I haven't received my Hello Tomorrow book yet. Also, has anyone seen them, what face shapes will they look right on? lol.. sorry if thats a silly question but I love the look of them but i dont know whether I want to buy them because is it me or is spending £18 on sunglasses this time of year when I'm not even going on holiday too much?

Also, with the make up thing you have to sell as much as you can to win prizes, how much moneys worth do you have to sell to reach tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3?

Thanks guys x

Also, can you change your address that the order gets sent to for your first campaign after you have submitted the order?

Lipsy sunglasses - these will be fixed discount. Branded items always are. You can try them on and return them if you don't like them, so there's no risk of wasting your money.

Make-up sales targets - these will be on your C12 and C13 invoices. If you've just started I don't think you'll be eligible for the incentive.

You can change the address before you submit only.

When it comes to change of address I wasn't 100% sure, but if it's your first order does it not have to go to the address on the account and be signed for?

Yes, unless the rules have changed but I don't think so. After your first delivery you can get it sent elsewhere, you can change the delivery address when you submit your order, or if you have somewhere safe you can permanently add a safe location to your account and if you're not in your delivery will be put there (shed, garage etc).

Thanks for that Lozza. I notice I've been having to sign for all deliveries for the past 6 months, after a long time of hardly ever signing. I guess they were having issues with people claiming not to have received things.
