But some earlier posts said it smelt awful

Guess its a matter of taste as I didn't do the moneymaker based on comments on here!

Can anyone help me when returning stock , Ive ran out of the carrier labels ? Are you supposed to get these every time? and can you send items back via post office? x

I bought 10, and am going to spray it on before I do deliveries next week, and have already given out samples to a few customers who haven't ordered offering it at a reduced rate.

Hopefully will get some orders out of this and sell all the MMs I bought.

You can post items back via the post office, but you have to pay and you are not allowed to send aerosol items through Royal Mail, they have to be returned by courier.

They don't send carrier labels with every invoice, is it every 3rd invoice you receive some?

Why not email Avon and tell them you have run out and need to do returns, they might be able to post some to you or email you them so you can print them off.

Plus everytime you return something, you should be sent out another sheet of 3 returns labels, they're on the back page of your invoice.

thank you not seen them to be honest for last few invoices will look thank you

you get sent carrier labels on the back of your invoice whenever you request credit to return items. You also get some on your first invoice. So you should try check every invoice you have got to see if theres any on the back.

if you really have run out and cant find any then ring avon and they will post them out to you within a couple of days.

hope that helps

I'm having a party towards the end of Sept and am already panicing and hoping people will attend!
Did you play any games ect? If its not too rude of me could you list down what you did?
Thanks

Don't panic!!! I was but it all went so well I soon relaxed, although my guests were close family / friends, which always makes it easier.

For the party I just took the great advice from the links at the front from Aureol's first post.
I laid my dining room table witha pink cloth with shoe boxes under for varying heights, this table had all my accumalted Demo products. I laid a smaller table out (my daughters table!) & this table had products on that were available to purchase on the night. (Carefully ordered the products from cheaper books previously so that on the night they were cheaper to buy from this table than to order from the current book).I also made up a raffle prize using clearance products from HT.

I started by giving a brief run through of the book, highligting some "special deals" (by back ordering cheaper) I offered the cheaper price to my guests on 5 different items, this way a party seems a little bit more special than just getting what's in the book.

Guests then had the opportunity to test the products, purchase from the sale table, ask q's & place an order from the book.

Then sold the raffle tickets, had a glass of wine then drew the raffle!!!

I did notice that, although my guests always order with me anyway (they were my party guniea pigs!!) they all ordered things out of their normal comfort zones! Plus they all ordered something for the other half, as I did a selection of "for him."

I did each guest a party bag; medium paper bag with a book, pen, ring sizer, sample perfume (different one in each bag so they all smell eachothers) anew eyelift sample (suitable for all ages, steer clear of offending anyone!!) & a business card.

I now have three parties, one for September & two for October so hopefully will learn more as I go along!!!

I would never have done anything like this 18months ago, but actually really enjoyed it, it was very relaxed & I kept it informal so that the guests got to really look at & smell the products. Oh they loved that bit, smelling shower gels, getting perfume samples etc, at least they knew what they were ordering!!! Hope this is of a little help!!??

***typed out on an i-phone, so please excuse me if I ramble & have poor spelling & grammer!! So much easier to do all this on a laptop!

Does anyone know if the bathrobe is or will be for sale normally? I have 1 customer who really really wants to buy it at full price!
