I'm a Sales Director with Mary Kay. Our focus is on customer service and helping women look better so they feel better about themselves. That's why we focus on the skin care classes and facials. However, I have consultants on my team who simply pass out our books to their friends and family to get orders. They are able to make enough of a profit from that alone to make a little extra cash or pay themselves with free product. Mary Kay also gives us the option of a web page for a small annual fee that the company maintains for us. Our customers are then able to shop online 24/7. The only things we cannot do are selling on eBay, at garage sales, flea markets, etc. We pride ourselves in our products and do not want to de-value them in any way. That's why our "consultation" services are a valued asset.

Well I with Mary Kay you can't "set up a store front" that means you give away coupons for a free facial but you can't go somewhere and set the product up for sale. I do notice that Avon have store fronts now where you can buy their products. I've seen them at the Mall. I'm not familiar with Arbonne.

I am an Arbonne consultant, and I started selling products to my closest friends and family. I got referrals from those people, who also gave me referrals, and so on, and so on. You can also call people near holidays such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and others to see if they would like to do gift baskets for anyone. You may also give a catalog to a friend and let them take orders for you in exchange for free or discounted products. The posssibilities are endless. As they say in Arbonne, "You are only limited to people with skin and hair." You want to use the product and tell everyone you know about it. Good luck to you whatever course you choose. If you'd like more info on the Arbonne Opportunity, you can go to my website at www. stephaniedemonia. myarbonne. com, and click on the Opportunity Presentation.

My mom sells Avon. She hands out book and collects orders from family/people at church, and they also network her to other people in the area- the one woman owns a hair salon so she lets my mom collect orders and leave books there. Of course, what she has going on is a very small operation and not something that would generate a complete second income. It's just one of those thing where you have to be assertive and be able to drum up business through word of mouth.
I've also seen booths at a few different malls where they set up and sell Avon. I'm not sure who does that though.

I work for The Body Shop at home and do basically the same thing as those companies you mentioned. We attend some trade shows where we can sell our products. We also have our own personal weblinks where customers can place orders. A majority of our orders are "Re-orders" or orders from women who previously attended a Girl's Night Out and need more product.

I sold Avon for a few years. I enjoyed it, but couldn't put as much time as I would of liked into it.
Go to this website www.avon.com & click on the become a rep link and follow the steps.
I used the online system which was easy.
