Tips FOR REPS – How Do I Get Paid??

**Please Note: Avon’s compensation plan will be changing as of Campaign 1, 2025 ( which begins on 1/1/25). This post will be updated soon to reflect the new compensation plan. Avon ambassadors can find full details about the exciting new plan through their Avon.com ambassador accounts.

If you’re like most of us, you signed up to become an Avon representative to make money!

Am I right??

Maybe you’re looking to make a little extra cash on the side or maybe you’re looking to replace your full-time income.

Whatever your goals are with Avon, I’m guessing that money figures into it somehow!

With Avon, we can earn money on our sales in two ways:

• Through face-to-face “traditional” orders
• Through our online “direct delivery” sales

We earn the same percentage, no matter how you choose to sell, but we get paid the earnings differently. Let me walk you through how you’ll get paid on your Avon sales.

Now, take this simplified example:

Let’s say that you’ve collected exactly $200 in customer orders (of beauty, jewelry, and wellness items) for the campaign. As a contender, Avon would discount the items in your order by 25% and bill you $150 for the items. You would collect the $200 from the customers, pay Avon their $150, and then keep the remaining $50 (your 25% commission) as your earnings!

The example above does not include the sales tax or service fee you should collect from your customers or the sales and shipping fee that Avon will add to your total.

TIPS:

1. To save on shipping fees, thus preserving your earnings, most reps prefer to submit all of the orders they’ve collected for the campaign at the same time (rather than submitting lots of separate small orders throughout the campaign).
2. You can add a small service fee to the total you collect from each customer to help cover shipping costs. The standard fee is 75 cents, though some reps choose to charge a bit more. The idea is that if you collect that small fee from multiple customers each campaign (and submit all of the orders you’ve collected at the same time), the fees will add up to mostly or completely cover your shipping cost.
3. Be sure that you are collecting the correct amount of money from your customers, based on the current brochure price of the items they order (not the discounted price that Avon will charge you), with your local sales tax and the service fee added.
