I have done Avon a few times over the years. The first time was when my eldest was about 2 years old and I remember putting him into the backpack and delivering books. It was much harder with him on my back to pick up books but I think my customers must have noticed because I would often find my books on window sills or on top of wheelie bins. :-) I made President's Club in my first 15 months that time.
The second time I did a very small territory in a small town with 3 children, 1 in a pram, and no footpaths. That was certainly "fun". It was a great way to meet people though.
Now, my 4th time, I am doing essentially 3 suburbs. It is harder and easier with 4 children. With my oldest being 14 years old I can leave the kids at home together (easier) and go out in the afternoon or early evening to do my Avon. At home though I now have the responsibility and care of 6 people and the education of 3 (harder). That takes some juggling and time management.
I am glad of those previous years of experience though. I have a method that it has been easy enough to re-implement and things are going well.
My first campaign was good, over $800 sales, but a lot of profit went on purchasing enough catalogues to cover at least 2 suburbs well so only $60 in my bank account. My second campaign looks like having sales of $1400 but again in this busy lead up to Christmas I need to make sure I have catalogues. I think I could end up with about $300 profit for 3 weeks work.
I am quite pleased with that amount of earnings. Avon is much more flexible than working at a supermarket so I am glad to have this option. And it looks like I will make President's Club again, which means free lunch some time down the track and presentations of awards. I like that bit! lol
Best wishes
