ForumsAdvertising, Sales and Marketing

I have done AVON a couple of times in the past but found my area to be oversaturated with reps. How have you been doing since you began? Do you have a lot of competition? How do you drum up sales? I used to ask if I could put my catalogs in doctors/dentists offices and such. I also went around with another AVON rep and we would put catalogs on people's doorsteps. I got a few hundred dollars in sales that way but it was from one customer and I put catalogs all over the place. I was sad about that and found it was mostly friends and family who would buy so I just started doing it for my own purchases since I can get them at discount.

How do you afford to do 30 and 40 % off everything?

I'd do Avon again but it just seems really hard to get the word out and get interested customers. The catalogs are also a big cost -- almost 6 dollars for 10. Wow.
