AVON Fundraising
With an Avon Fundraiser, you will receive excellent quality and value, while benefiting your organization at the same time. Avon Fundraisers offer…
Avon offers products that
the whole family can use and the prices are often cheaper than those at
the local discount store. The
average customer order is over $20
I will be available to your
organization every step of the way to help in any way that I can.
All that your organization needs to do is hand out the brochures to
the participants, collect the money for the orders and turn the orders in to me.
Many families object to
selling candy, and how many rolls of gift wrap could you possibly need??
Avon offers non-fattening, value-priced, quality products which are a
welcome change to run-of-the-mill fundraisers.
With most fundraisers, you
will deal with an impersonal company by mail or phone.
With an Avon Fundraiser, you can call on my personal experience to answer
product questions, get selling tips, and handle any delivery or payment issues.
I work directly with your
organization to create a fundraiser that is perfect for your situation.
You sell when you want, what you want, for as long as you want.
Some organizations keep fundraisers open until they reach a particular
dollar amount.
Participants can sell just to
their family, neighbors and friends and still have a profitable fundraiser!
With an average customer sale of over $20, selling to 10 people means
over $200 per participant!
You receive your profits as
soon as the fundraiser order is turned into me.
Avon Fundraisers are the best way for a group to raise money needed for
special projects or for emergencies when funds are needed ASAP.
Thanks to Avon’s reputation
for America’s favorite products such as Skin-So-Soft lotions and bubble baths,
as well as national advertising, you would be hard
pressed to find someone that says, “What’s Avon?”.
Avon’s products have worldwide brand-name recognition. If you would like more information or have specific

Frequently Asked Questions Q:
How is money collected from customers? A:
Money is collected at the time of order.
Your organization may choose to accept personal checks. Those checks should be made out to your organization or to
someone from your organization that is in charge of the fundraiser. Q:
How long does it take for the products to arrive? A:
Products arrive approximately one week from the time I submit the final order to Avon.
Q:
To whom do all of the products get delivered? A:
Someone from your organization should volunteer their home, garage, or
another facility to have all of the products delivered to.
Products arrive in file storage size boxes. If your organization has a facility with a locked room, it
would be best to have the products delivered there.
The products should be delivered to the same location where they will be
bagged into the individual customer orders. Q:
What happens next after the products arrive? A:
I meet with volunteers from your organization where the products were
delivered. I check the order and
the order receipt from Avon to insure that all products were delivered, and then
we begin the process of bagging individual customer orders. Q: What happens if a customer wants to return a product? What happens if a product is backordered or did not ship? A:
Avon has a 100% guarantee. Therefore,
a customer may return any product for an exchange or refund. I personally handle all returns. In
case of a backorder or a missing item, as soon as the product ships to me it can
be delivered to the customer. Q: What if someone is interested in selling Avon or becoming a regular Avon customer? A: The person should be given my name and number and informed to contact me. Q:
How is our payment of profits handled? A:
Since your fundraising participants collected money at the time their
customers placed orders, you will have the money from all sales immediately.
One person should be designated to be in charge of this money.
When I meet with you and the volunteers to sort the products and bag
individual customer orders, we will determine what the total sales amount is and
what your percentage earnings are. You
keep your percentage of the earnings and the remaining amount is paid to me,
usually in the form of a check. The
money that you pay me will be used to pay Avon for the products. Q: What about the costs of fundraising materials such as collection envelopes, bags, brochures or flyers? Who pays for them? A: Avon charges minimal fees for the necessary items such as the Avon bags used to bag individual customer orders and the fund-raiser flyers or brochures. The fees are small, and the Avon bags are cheaper then buying bulk bags at a store. Avon supplies the money collection envelopes for free. When we meet to discuss your Avon Fundraiser, we can discuss these costs and we will negotiate who will be paying for what depending on the number of participants in your Fundraiser and your anticipated total sales amount. This cost is generally covered by the Fundraising Specialist. Q: Can you briefly summarize the steps to the Avon-Fundraiser process? A:
I will be with you every step of the way and will meet with you,
participants, and/or volunteers from your organization as needed.
Generally, this is the Avon Fundraising process: 1)
We meet in-person to determine the particulars of the fundraiser such as
the start date, end date, goals, how many people will be involved, etc. 2)
I order the necessary selling materials from Avon for your group to
successfully sell Avon products. 3)
Fundraiser participants receive the selling materials and collect
customer orders and money. 4)
I place the final order with Avon for all products that your participants
sold. 5)
The final order is delivered by Avon and we bag the individual customer
orders. At that time, we determine
your group’s profits. 6)
Participants deliver orders to their customers. If you have any questions that have not already been answered, or if you need further information or clarification, do not hesitate to contact me. |
