Does your group need to raise $$$?


Does your school, organization or group need to raise some funds for a project, trip or event?  How about considering running an Avon fundraiser?  

Avon Fundraisers --

  • Products every family needs and already buys
  • Simple, easy-to-use flyers
  • Proceeds in hand in as little as 3 weeks
  • Support from a trained Avon Representative (THAT'S ME!!)
  • There’s minimal paperwork to complete.
  • No need to buy merchandise up front. 
  • No door-to-door selling. Participants can sell exclusively to families, neighbors and friends, and still produce a profitable fundraiser. 
  • The average customer order is more than $15. 

The Avon Fundraising flyers have been used successfully to raise money by organizations just like yours. One of the most popular Avon fundraisers is the Skin So Soft Bug Guard.  Since Spring/Summer is coming - so are the mosquitoes and bugs. Everyone knows what a quality job the Bug Guard does.  


Here are a couple of the flyers.  There is also a Skin So Soft and Planet Spa flyer.  Your organization can use one or all of the flyers.


Below are some frequently asked questions:

Q: What kind of profit can our organization expect?

A: Depending on the total amount of sales, an organization can receive up to 40% of what it sells. This would leave you with 10% earnings. For example, if 20 participants each sell $15 in Avon products to 10 people, total sales would equal $3,000, of which the organization would earn $1,200 and you would earn $150.

Q: Why can some fundraising companies offer us 50%?

A: A company can offer 50% when it is charging a premium for its products. For example, if you have ever bought frozen pizza or cheesecakes as a fundraiser, you know that they were more expensive than if purchased at a store. With Avon, you are offering high-quality products that are priced competitively with similar products at retail. Most fundraising companies offer up to 40%. Others offer much less! Many t-shirt sales, for example, often offer only 20%.

Q: How can we know that an Avon Fundraiser will be as successful as fundraisers we have had in the past?

A: All types of organizations, from religious institutions and schools to day care centers and sports leagues, have used Avon Fundraisers successfully to raise the money they need. They have found that the brand-name recognition, the Avon Guarantee and the fact that Avon has products for the entire family make for an extremely successful fundraiser. If you have already held a successful Avon Fundraiser, say: “The (name of the organization) held an Avon Fundraiser last (date) and sold (total sales). I would be happy to give you the name and phone number of the person I worked with on that fundraiser.” If this is your first Avon Fundraiser, say: My District Sales Manager can also provide you with the names of organizations in our area that have held successful Avon Fundraisers."
