    4 Stars DING DONG AVON HAS UPPED THEIR GAME! Review with images 04/03/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Extra money, a way to socialise and meet new people and a great way to gain business skills

    Disadvantages Disadvantages You have to pay for samples, brochures, demo products and other stationary

    I have just moved back home and am continuing my psychology degree with the Open University. Now I have a lot of time to spare and a friend recommended to me to start up as an Avon representative whilst at the same time looking for other work (which I did not the Jobsite website). I was a little bit apprehensive to start this because Avon selling is not an hourly wage, I have to put a lot of effort in, in order to reap the rewards. But I guess that is the same with a lot of jobs. So what does Avon sell? Avon sells a huge collection of items in a brochure. These items include: skincare, make-up ... more

    3 Stars Avon calling - but never calling back Diamond review 20/02/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Earn some pocket-money, meet new people, discounted cosmetics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Oh dear : quite some

    My story with Avon begins on a warm and sunny day in September 2005. To be more precise, the 22.09.2005, which must have been a Wednesday as I had my younger daughter with me and Wednesday is her "day off" from the nursery which she attends 3 times a week on a 3 hour basis. I remember that we dropped of the older one at 9.00 o'clock at her primary school and then went back home to do some work in the garden. Which ended in some rather wild games that involved a ball, a water-pistol, a set of bucket and spade and lots of rolling around in the grass. My little one loves Wednesdays as this is the ... more

    4 Stars AVON to earn more money! (geddit!!) Review with images 12/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Discounts for yourself, Good comission compard to other similar jobs

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Time consuming especially if its your second Income

    I was an Avon rep for about 2 years. This was in addition to my full time Job. At first I loved it, couldnt wait for the next brochure to arrive to see what discounts I could get and what new products I could try. But combining that with my full time job, trying to work around getting the order picked up from the warehouse almost twice a month became too much (I couldnt book every third or fourth tuesday off). Having said that this could be a good income for someone who could put the time and effort into it. What is Avon *************** Avon is a cosmetics and skincare company that have been ... more

    1 Star Avon Calling!- No Thank You! Diamond review Review with images 07/10/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Earn a bit of extra money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Takes over your house

    The thought of getting up someday's when my alarm goes off at 5 in the morning literally used to make me sick. I just wished that I could work from home, but had no idea how to get started and the thought of giving up a job which pays really well scared the life out of me. However, earlier last month due to personal reasons I was forced to quit my job as Duty Manager at Lidl. For the first few days all I did was relax, spending most the day on the internet and spending a few days going to visit friends, but it wasn't long before boredom set in and I was itching to do something new. I didn't ... more

    4 Stars (Fairly) Easy Money! 05/04/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages not a scam, making money for little effort, fun, discounted products for reps

    Disadvantages Disadvantages never enough money, trying to get orders and brochures back from people can be irritating sometimes

    There are a lot of scams going around when it comes to money making schemes but, in the middle of all that, we have the trusty name of avon. Becoming a representative with Avon may not make you a millionaire, but it gives you a little bit extra money a month for a fairly small amount of effort, and that makes it a pretty good idea in my book. INTRODUCTION TO AVON Avon is sometimes seen as having quite a stuffy old fashioned image by some - but I bet the people who think this haven't seen a brochure recently! Not only is there a huge range of make-up, including funky products and colours for ... more

    4 Stars AVON CALLING 20/02/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages make a bit money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages you may not get money some months

    I started working as an Avon representative in September last year. I wouldn't say it was about the money, although making a bit extra is always appealing. It was for a bit of a hobby as well, as I didn't think it would make me rich. I looked up Avon's website www.avon.uk.com and found a contact number for them 0845 601 4040, phoned and said I was interested in becoming a rep and they sent an area manager to my house about 3 days later. She went through what Avon was about - affordable beauty products delivered to people basically, but i'm sure we've all heard of the Avon brand, so that sums ... more

    5 Stars Earn Money - u bet!!!! Review with images 22/02/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fits in with the Children

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None - i am earning money!!!

    I know what you are thinking – oh my god Avon – how old is this woman 103? Well no I am 32 and I have been selling Avon for over 5 years and I have made a lot of money for very little time and to be honest now I love it. It all started after I had my first child. He was about 6 months old and I loved being at home with him but I must admit the only thing I missed from work was the people. I used to work in an advertising agency where there were 300 people in the office so it was a bit of a shock to only see my son Charlie and my husband some days. The Beginning I was looking ... more

    5 Stars Enjoyable Earning 23/02/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Earning potential, enjoyable work

    Disadvantages Disadvantages If you are doing streets, bad weather doesn't make it fun lol

    Well this is the first review I've written in over a year, so thought I'd make it one that I know a lot about! Can't believe its been so long since I've written a review. My circumstances have changed a lot since I have started Avon, when I started I was a full time working person but with not many responsibilities - I was engaged to my now husband who was away with the army a lot so had plenty of time to spare. I am still working full time but now am a married mum of a 19 month old little girl, hubby has now left the army, yet I still manage to make time for Avon! Avon has been going strong ... more

    5 Stars Ding Dong - Avon calling! 22/03/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Extra money, make friends

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Heavy stuff to carry round, can be rough in bad weather

    I used to be an Avon rep back in 2001 when my son was born. I needed something to earn a bit of extra money to top up my maternity pay and when an area sales manager knocked on the door and asked me if I would like to be a rep, I jumped at the chance. I did Avon for two years, until my daughter was born and then gave it up as it was hard with two kids, but when Rachel is older I may try again as I did enjoy it. ##How much do you earn?## The all important question when you are venturing into a money making scheme! The pay varies depending on how many sales you make. There is a minimum order ... more

    5 Stars Ding Dong! 02/04/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages earn extra money , flexible hours, great products, get out and about!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none i can think of

    Why Avon? ---------------- When growing up, my mum always found jobs that would mean she could stay at home and be with me and my younger sister - I have fond memories of helping her with her Avon round , and remember it all quite well , and so when I was looking to earn some extra money - Avon was one of the first things that came to mind. I was not looking to do a large round as my mum had done in the past, but to sell to friends, family and a few homes close by to where I live. I work in London from 9-5 every week day, and so I needed Avon to be flexible with that. How does it work ... more
