Hi Hannah. I am an Avon rep so I will give you some experience from my own point of view. I work 3 days a week and have a 3 year old DD. Last summer I was asked if I was interested in being an Avon rep. I wasn't interested in the whole party side of it so haven't done that at all and don't intend to. I just do brochures on my own street and the next one along about houses in total.
My LO helps me to put the brochures through the letterboxes and collect them in, she really enjoys it I would say it takes me about an hour to take all the books out and an hour to collect them in but I split it down cos you have to buy the books so it would not be cost effective to have all the houses have a book at the same time.
After a while you tend to get to know who will order and who won't so can just concentrate on those if you want to. I place the order over the internet when DD is in bed and when it's delivered I spend about an hour bagging it all up. I then deliver it as and when over the next few days.
Take a look at Avon - cosmetics, beauty, make-up, skincare, fragrance, work from home or PM me if you have any particular questions. I sound like a real ambassador don't I?? I don't think it's for everyone and I probably won't do it forever but I'm enjoying it at the mo and it gives me and our little girl an excuse to get out of the house for an hour on our days off together x. I am just stoping doing Avon as it is a pain! I love avon products and the bonus of being an avon lady is you get the new stuff really cheap.
