Does anyone think Avon will sell good at yardsales

Question

I want to have some Avon stock so I can just sell it at a open house/yard sale. Is this a good idea?

Answer 1

Yes, as a rep myself I have sold some of my inventory at a yard sale, but be carefull because most people would want it a cheap price.

Answer 2

Be careful with how you get the stock. if you are hoping to be a "independent sales consultant" most direct sales companies have rules on how you can market and sell their products. A yard sale may not meet their guidelines.

I am a sales consultant for PartyLite candles, I do some of my best sales in "Open House" settings.

Another idea, invite some friends you know who sell other products to have a variety open house. Especially with the holidays coming, people love coming to one place and getting many choices. For example, candles,Avon and Pampered Chef!

Good luck!

Answer 3

Yes they will.  However at yard sales, people only want to purchase things for very cheap.  Make up under $1.  But, you could try doing something like a Christmas Boutique and make hand baskets to put them in and sale.  But at a yard sale, you won't be able to get what you could get from it.  People go for beyond bargains at yard sales.  They'll try and get you to sale at a quarter.  25 cents

Answer 4

You can try it.  If so I would buy things that are inexpensive, on sale and fairly basic.  Like lotions, sss bath oil, bug guard etc.  I wouldn't charge more than the sale price either as people attending yard sales are looking for bargains and if you charge too much they probably won't buy it.  For example the sss bath oil was 6.95 in the c15 or c16... so you pay less and the brochure price is 12.00 so if you sell it for 6.95 or even a little less you make money or break even.  You've gotten the award sales for the stuff and you might get a new customer or 2.  Make sure you have brochures and if you are interested in leadership some recruiting info as well.  The way to look at this is it's a good way to find customers and recruits more than a way to make alot of money.  Just my thoughts on it.
