Avon vs MaryKay Cosmetics  

My mom did Avon and my friend did Mary Kay. It's like anything else, you have to have the time, and gas money to invest into it. I couldn't see that either of them really made that much, mostly enough to support their own buying habits with the companies. LOL! I don't use either and stick with mostly natural stuff. I'm too allergic. Although I did like Avons silver jewelry.

Hi Camomom,

As you have knew that Avon and MaryKay is one of the
well branded cosmetics products which is only available
from the distributors or whole sellers . Generally the company has
appointed many representative to promote their products with many
chains like to visit to the Skin Specialist, visit to the beauty
center, visit to the cosmetics saloon, visit to the retail Pharmacy
etc., so the way of promotion will be varied from a place to place
but in general getting the order for this products really to tough
because there are many similar products are available in the markets
with less price and the good quality, so the peoples will always
prefer the less priced one than the expensive products like Avon
and MaryKay products.

Compare with this Avon and MaryKay products are little bits more
expensive and also the quality is no 1, but when you compare with
other products it's moving is very less due to many reasons. So
many peoples loves their own branded products and they will never
change their mentality. So as a representative of this Avon Products
really need good selling skills as well as promotional skills, and
also it will take long time to establish your business. So you have
to wait for some time at least minimum of 6 months to get some
order for this products.

So selling of this products also depends upon your skills and also
your ability , that is the reasons most of the company has fixed
the target and we must achieve that target otherwise we have to
kicked out from the company. So it is really too tough to get
the business unless otherwise if you are a professional sales
men or girl to achieve the business from this products.

Have a nice day.

I am not a rep. Nor have I ever been one. But I have been a customer of both. I really like having someone I know. As they will know my buying habits and such. Than point out things I like or may be my interest. Where a stranger tends to try and sell me things I am not interest in, thus losing a potential sale.

I am an Avon Representative and a customer, as I love their products. It is as time consuming as you want to make it. I make my own schedule and I even make sales 24/7 from my Avon online store... http://www.youravon.com/teresayager
You do not have to book parties, although you could if you wanted to. I make my sales through brochure and web site sales mainly.
For a little more than the price of a lipstick you can start your own business with Avon. It is very easy to get started and Avon supplies you with everything you need to get started and succeed in your business. I started selling Avon just to earn a little extra spending money of my own, and now I have an added income for my family.
