How to Sell Makeup : How to sell Avon as a Party Host

Today I want to share how an independent Avon representative can earn money by becoming a party host. Offering a party host service can open up many doors for Avon representatives. This is a great way to meet new people and get the word out about your Avon business. If you are wondering how to start a party service its pretty easy. If you are a blogger or have your own personal Avon website, you could add this as a service. Business cards or flyers are a great way of letting people know that you're a party host. Word of mouth and referrals are the most effective way.

How Would the Avon Representative Host a Party?

I personally offer this service free of charge. As a party host, the only responsibility I suggest to cut down cost is to provide goodie bags for all event occasions. What I usually do is bring one basket of Avon books this way if anyone wants a brochure they can just pick one up. Make sure you ask if its ok to bring that basket. As guest arrive to the party or event, each table will have either a sample pack with my business card, two or three samples, and a mini flyer on the inside. If you are someone that has bows left over from the holiday this is a great time to pull some of them out. One thing I want to point out is that I try to make my sample packs coincide with their theme. For example if this is a bridal party, I only use white bows. Then I create cute little tags or labels in microsoft publisher that have the bride and grooms name on it. If this is for a birthday party, I ask the person giving the party how they plan on decorating then sort of go from there.

Where do I Find Supplies for Parties or Events?

I do not suggest spending a lot of money on this. Try visiting a dollar store and purchasing event bags. They are usually sold for a dollar or two for about 20 to 30 bags. Another cute way to create these bags is to purchase jewelry bags. They are perfect because they are cute and come in many colors. If you are unsure about these bags, I order them all the time here on Amazon. Also scroll down the page because Amazon will show other people that sell other colors and styles.

How do I Provide Samples for a Child's Party?

Purchasing lotion, insect repellent lotion, or shampoo & conditioner samples are great for children. If these are unavailabe through Avon product samples can even be made. Also invest in products for kids by searching the Avon website by typing "kids" in the search bar. Avon will show products for children. If this is in your budget, you could get plastic jewelry bags and pour a little in each bag. Create labels in publisher so that people will know what kind of samples they are.

Here's another idea for sample packs for children. Purchase small bags of toys, stickers, crayons etc, and include a few in each bag. If you are purchasing toys make sure they are age appropriate. The best way to save money on purchasing toys is to buy party favors.

Tips on How to be Successful

1. Make sure your sample packs are themed.

2. The outside of the sample packs should not have your information on them. (your info. should only be on the inside)

3. Always have sample packs made so that when you hear people say they are having an event, you won't have to go run and order supplies. Be ready to jump into the conversation to let them know you offer this service.
4. Always ask how many people they are expecting and take a few extras just in case more people show up.
5. Be creative and ask the person that is having the event if they could use your help in any way. This is a way of thanking them for allowing you to give out samples at their event.
6. Make sure you include a mini flyer with all of your contact information on the inside. I have even seen others fold the outlet brochures to include inside of the plastic goodie bags purchased from dollar stores. You could also include coupons.
7. If anyone states that they are interested in Avon in any way, ask them if you could get their contact information to followup with them.
8. Take a bag of products just in case a person wants to purchase products. You could even add a few to the basket of books.
9. Make sure instead of just handing over sample packs to the person giving the party that you are at the party. This way you make sure that you see where your samples are going.

Last Tip! Purchase products when they are on sale after holidays! You could even add a piece of candy to each sample pack.

I hope this gave you some great ideas to help you successfully grow your Avon business.
