Home parties can be time-consuming and uncomfortable. During the holiday season, they can be just plain inconvenient! Let's
face it: we all have a lot to get done and next-to-zero time in which to do it. Book parties can simplify your life and still
earn you the products you'd love to buy, but would rather get for free!
How do you get FREE AVON products as a hostess?
My AVON Book Party Hostesses don't have to do much to get FREE products for the tax-free orders they gather. There's only
three requirements:
1) You must have at least one order besides your own personal order,
2) All orders combined (including yours) must be at least $100, and
3) You must be able offer me the contact information (address, phone number, and email, if they are online) for each person
ordering.
What do I, as your Representative, supply to you for your Book Party?
1) FREE brochures and order forms, 2) FREE shipping (includes your personal order), 3) FREE samples.
What's in it for YOU?
Providing you meet these requirements, you are eligible for a generous hostess credit program. You'll also gain free product
credit according to the following schedule:
$100-$250 = 10% credit
$251-$400 = 15% credit
$400+ = 20% credit
Now remember, these amounts can include your own order, so you will benefit from ordering more for yourself OR taking
more orders from others. I also have occassional BONU$ programs that increase percentages and/or offer additional gifts or
prizes. You can probably see that this really adds up. I have several book party hostesses that keep $50 worth (or more!)
of FREE merchandise for themselves each and every month!
Here's an example...
Let's say you distribute books to four friends and each places a $25 order when they see the cute things you've compiled
in your own $50 order (this happens all the time!). You've just gathered $150 in orders. You would receive $15 in credit and
would then thumb through the brochure and select $15 in products to which we would apply the $15 in hostess credit. In essence,
you gave yourself a hefty discount on your own order because you receive $65 worth of merchandise for $50. See how this can
really add up?
What do you need to do?
You show the brochures or distribute them along with the order forms I supply to those who are interested in placing an
order. You collect the orders or order forms before the order cutoff date I give you and then email the orders to me. I will
reply with a confirmation and totals for each person as well as your hostess credit. You then decide which additional products
you would like to purchase with your credit.
Then we make payment arrangements. Now, normally you issue payment to an Avon lady when your order is delivered, but since
we're doing this through the mail (in most cases), I will need to have full payment before I ship the orders to you. Therefore,
hostesses need to collect funds at the same time the orders are placed - preferably in cash. You will need to be capable of
issuing one check or money order to me OR processing a credit or debit card payment. I would rather my hostesses NOT accept
checks, but it is each person's own individual choice. If you choose to accept checks, you become solely responsible for any
loss incurred (insufficient funds, bank fees, etc.) and you are responsible for recovering those losses.
Once the orders are processed, I bag them as I would if I were delivering them to my own customers, complete with new
brochure, a free gift, and samples. Then I ship them off to you for distribution (just as you would with a home party). You
can deliver them at work (to co-workers), have friends pick them up, or deliver to each person - it's your choice!
I have hostesses that hold book parties year round and others that do it on a seasonal basis. You can do it to fulfill
your personal wish list, or do it to cut down on the cost of gift-giving. I have also had people hold book parties for a birthday
registry as well. Whatever your need, I can help you make the most of our products to earn the products you want. I welcome
you to give it a try. Most hostesses that try it once continue to hold book parties time and time again. If you think you
would be interested in giving it a try, just complete our online contact form.
