No Wiggle Room

I don't have any "wiggle room" to lower prices with Avon products. I can only hope that most people are familiar enough with Avon that they don't expect to be able to get a reduced price, at least I hope so.

Does Avon allow you to mark up the prices?

I'd have to assume that a company like Avon has been around long enough that people wouldn't expect you to be able to give them lower prices. Have you been asked for lower prices?

if you dont mind me asking..do you make a good amount of money with avon?.. ive always wondered but never tried.

I'd expect most people wouldn't try to haggle with Avon's pricing, because I always thought the catalogue price was firm and it's been around for decades.

Do people try to wheel and deal with the price?

Avon's prices are pretty much set. If I have a customer who is helping me with contacts or deliveries, I am allowed to give them a discount. Avon has a lot of sales so that people can buy their favorite products at a reduced rate.

I'm not allowed to raise prices on anything. My customers online and locally all pay the advertised Avon prices.

I haven't had anyone try to get me to lower the price but some will try to get more than one of a limited to one special offer.

So far, I haven't made money because I'm trying to build some stock to have on hand for a possible open house.

My site is at http://susanking.avonrepresentative.com/ if anyone is interested in looking around. I'm having a hard time simply remembering all the products. There are many different kinds of every product, even lip balm! It had been several years since I had an Avon lady and I can't believe how much stuff is available now.

You have a very professional site Ozzie. I'm impressed.

I agree. That is a sharp looking site. Best of luck with the business, ozzie.

Thanks a lot Thomas and Ricardo. The site is provided to me by Avon but I do get to personalize it myself. They also provide me with a really good online office to keep track of everything. I do have to pay a small fee though. Hopefully I'll get enough online business to pay the fee and more.

Do you have a plan for online marketing? One thing you could do is add a link to your website in your forum signature.
