I tried selling Avon when I was in college, and used to do it as a party type thing
Hosting a party is pretty simple (yah right)- invite 10 -15 friends who might have some money to spend, and invite them over for an evening. Serve some food (cookies and coffee, cake, something inexpensive you could make yourself) and put out the test products.
Body shop products are good quality - and everyone knows the brand. Doing it as a spa thing would be fun...
Since I was getting 30 percent commission on everything i sold - I used to give a 10 percent discount if a person bought more than one item... and 15 percent if they bought more than 3 items. I didn't make a lot of money doing it... but it gave me gas money and beer money. Body Shop products would probably sell better.
How are students set wiht disposable income at your school? Or would you hit up neighbors and friends outside of school? WOuld you have 10 people available for regular parties that would spend money?
