How did you grow your AVON business?

I have been an AVON representative for over a year now and I am still only selling to a few people. I have bought lots of brochures when I first started out and was handing them out to people and leaving them places but I never managed to get any orders that way. I don't have a lot of extra time to grow my AVON business but I find myself ordering something for myself every campaign only so that I remain a representative and I ended up spending at least $50-100 a month without making much. My husband either wants me to get more customers or drop the business. I love the AVON products and I'd hate to not be able to get the discounts, so I was wondering if anyone can tell me some quick, easy ways to get more customers and grow the business. Thanks!

Ha ha! I am making AVON rich with my own orders. Sometimes it adds up to over $100 per month!!!!! My husband doesn't even know but if I don't order then they drop me as a representative and I don't want that. AVON is evil!

Hm well I dont have an Avon business, but I am suprised that leaving the brocures around doesn't work! I have ordered from people that left their brocures at the OB and also people give them to my husband at work and he orders stuff for me as a suprise. Maybe your hubby can take them to work and give them out?

That's a nice hubby you got. My hubby wouldn't do that for me unless maybe I threatened him with spending even more on AVON. Thanks for the advice.
