My First Avon Home Party

Filed Under Avon | 2 Comments

On Thursday night, I sold Avon at a home party hosted by my friend Cara. She wanted to have a home party basically to humor all of her friends who sold things and to have an open house at her new house (which is beautiful). I did not even know she was thinking about doing this until she emailed and asked me if I would like to partipate! The other people there were all regular home partiers. There was Homemade Gourmet, Pampered Chef, Partylite, and someone who sold hairbows. There was also someone selling knock off designer purses and Asgi shoes. I was the only makeup/skincare/decoration/jewelry person. I was also the only person who had not sold my stuff at a home party before. Avon is not really set up to be sold that way, although it’s your own business, so technically you can do whatever you want!

The night went really well. My mom came with me and helped me to set up. We put two card tables next to each other with a big black table cloth over them. We had two big shallow boxes of stocking stuffers like shower gel, hand cream, trial size skin care products, etc. Those went over really well. I just labeled each box- one was $1 items and the other was $3 items, so that made it simple. Then I had holiday decorations out for people to look at, and brochures for people to place orders or take with them. The party actually went pretty well. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I sold. I am hoping to get a few more calls for orders from that party but who knows, I might not.

My biggest seller? These holiday lighted-leg sitters. I had a couple of them sitting on the edges of my table, turned on so that their legs were blinking and their various fiber optic body parts were glowing. I am just in love with these little guys. The pictures don’t do them justice, but they are so cute. Jonathon even asked me to get him the snowman one for his office at work. We are getting the penguin for our house. They are only $12.99 and I think Bailey will like them since they have lights.

And if you made it this far, I have some exciting (to me, at least) news! I had a girl sign up to sell under me earlier last week, and I have another new recruit that we are signing next week. So I am now officially in Sales Leadership and that was something I did not think I would ever do. I love that my business is growing and now I can help other people with theirs, too.
