Roberta, I've been selling Avon for a few years and found that what people like and stuff is pretty regional. For example, in all my years, I've rarely sold any jewelry. The bulk of my orders are makeup and skin care products! I rarely sell clothes and I think I've only sold one bottle of perfume! I've been pres. club for a few years, so I sell a good amount. Lot's of nail and foot products as well.
Here's a tip - don't get sucked in to the stock up deals! Buy only the stuff you know your customers will like. At Christmastime, encourage your customers to buy stuff early and not wait until the last minute - Avon is notorious for "shorts". Only keep on hand things you sell a lot of. For me, I always have glimmersticks eye liners, most mascaras (in black) and the most popular shower gels. During the summer, I always have bug guard on hand as well.
Thanks. I found in the past when I sold Avon, that could be a problem. Learning what customers did and did not like.

I like their deodorants too.

Bottom line is that you just need to know your customers. Good luck and have fun!
The last time that I sold Avon, I was a new Christian and Kathy Troccoli had just come out with a new CD that Avon was selling. I passed it around the women at church. Many of them had never heard of her, but I knew who she was and liked her music from before I became a Christian. I was very pleasantly surprised at how many of her CDs I sold just to women at church.
My aunt had also just died from breast cancer and I managed to sell a lot of their items that had the pink ribbon. I didn't earn any money off of those though, I was just doing that to help those who may be fighting breast cancer and to help promote awareness, etc.
