Avon doesn't really have parties though. The way they do it is they have catalogs...there's a new one every couple weeks or so. You place your order and the stuff comes in a week or so later. They also have kiosks in some malls staffed by consultants, and there is a really fancy Avon Center in Trump Tower in NYC (complete with a full spa!)

That would be the way I'd want to do it...consultants pay for the catalogs, and then they only order the products that people actually order. (My friend is a Mary Kay consultant, though not super active, but she has to order an unbelievable amount of product...she has to have at least some of every product the company has in stock at any given point, even if no one's ordered certain things in a long time, in case someone wants to order it. Any waiting time=BAD.)

I have never been an Avon rep but I order a ton of it. I love the stuff and they have some amazing deals.
