The Real Pros and Cons You Need to Know

Before Joining Avon, Consider These

If you’ve ever thought about selling Avon, you’re not alone. For many women (myself included), Avon carries both nostalgia and fresh opportunity. From the classic lipsticks our moms wore to the new skincare and wellness collections designed for healthy aging, Avon offers more than products—it offers possibility.

But is becoming an Avon Ambassador right for you? Let’s take a practical look at the pros and cons so you can decide with confidence.

The Pros

  • Flexible Earnings
    Avon offers one of the most affordable start-up opportunities. Right now, you can JOIN AVON FOR $0—YES, FREE! You’ll enjoy 20%-50% off your own orders of $40+ on beauty, skincare, personal care, and more, while earning 20%-50% commission on customer orders over $40. Ambassadors who reach higher sales levels unlock even greater commissions, recognition, and rewards. [Refer to 2025 Compensation Guide] | [Read More > Cash In On Your Passion]
  • Rewards & Recognition
    Avon celebrates top achievers with titles, incentives, and all-expenses-paid trips. Whether you’re seeking extra income or bigger milestones, there’s always a reason to celebrate. [Refer to 2025 Sales Titles of Achievement]
  • Community & Connection
    Beyond sales, Avon is a supportive network of people who share your love for beauty, fashion, and wellness. You’ll build confidence, make lasting connections, and create a business that fits your life.

The Cons 💡

  • Consistency is Key
    Like any business, success doesn’t happen overnight. Steady effort—online, in person, or both—is essential to growing your customer base. [Read More > Joining My Team]
  • Competition Exists
    With no territorial restrictions, other Avon Representatives may be in your area. The upside? You can expand your reach as much as you like. [Familiarize Yourself > The Different Positions Available]
  • Self-Motivation Required
    Your biggest competitor is often yourself. Staying consistent, setting goals, and pushing through slow seasons requires dedication. [Read More > More Business Advice]

My Avon Story 💕

profile-picture-square

I like people, people make me happy…the customers I serve and the success of my team members bring me happiness.

I’ve always loved beauty, fashion, and jewelry. Some of my earliest memories are of my godmother gifting me Avon treasures—or spotting those collectible perfume bottles shaped like owls and Eiffel Towers. When the Avon Representatives I knew stopped selling, I signed up for the discount, thinking it might just be a little side gig. Fast forward 15 years—I’ve built a steady source of extra income, earned trips, and now mentor a team of inspiring people who are creating businesses of their own.

The best part? I truly love the products and the company. Avon has been part of my life since childhood, and now it’s part of my future too.
