Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

katyboo123

Hi all, just been talking to my friend who used to do Avon, but gave it up because it was time consuming (great, orders from me now!)
Anyway, she said her pearls of wisdom for me are to put all of the orders in to Excel by page number, sort it and then go through the orders with the brochure. Say in brochure 2 there is a 3 for 2 offer. If one customer orders one thing and another customer orders another thing, order the free item for yourself to use as an incentive.
I know this isnt an original idea, and is likely to be on here some where, but some people may not know about it. Good Luck.
P.s is anyone else worried about hitting target on C3? I have done £249 C1, on track for £200ish C2 and am worried C3, people will just be like, I've just paid for one order! Really its working out 2 orders within one monthly pay day cycle. Im worried :S x

I've been round tonight to pick up my first set of brochures as a rep. Disappointing to say the least

Got one £10 order (better than nothing I know) and two houses say they're still looking and can I come back in a couple of days.

Loads of people not in though, so when I go back out either tomorrow night or Wednesday night to collect (order to place Thursday) then I'll go a bit later.

Hope my F&F come through for me this campaign otherwise I'm a bit stuffed

My F&F have saved this campaign for me , I got less than £30 from territory- dont know how its going to pan out after christmas.

I was only signed up last Tuesday so haven't really had the chance to canvass all my territory. Hopefully next campaign I'll be able to be more organised and get my books to all 50 houses on my street, not just 20

Only had a couple so far that buy from other people though, so maybe that's a good sign?

Yippee - invoice is now online (the impatient side of me needs to allow 3 days for this in future!!), only one item OOS and I have warned her already that there may be a delay.
Collect and drop more C18's tonight, C18 order is arriving on Thursday.

C1 feels like its a short campaign, but in actual fact I've got the 2 week campaigns coming up C2 & C3. Going to be a struggle fitting everybody in I think!!

Lucky you; just checked mine and 6 items temporarily out of stock - to arrive ..... ? and another 6 items totally oos (one lady asked me last week when her umbrella will be coming.... seems like never now :rolleyes: unless they've been included in any of the bargain bags - slim chance I know but just wondered.... anyone?)

I have some £5 vouchers from creative ordering in C17 and I had planned to give them to the customers who order every campaign as a thank you Christmas present from me, with their last order before christmas. (For me this is C1)

However I have just realised that for anyone who has one of these vouchers to use in C2, they will have to spend £10 net in that camp (as well as C1) to qualify for the Mortgage competition, ie at least £15 before using the voucher. And Avon have confirmed this.

So now I am wondering if it is a bit of a kick in the teeth for the customers who qualified following their C17 order and as such not suitable as a gift. Or am I being daft. ???

movingon, I would give the vouchers as a gift, as maybe not all customers will want to enter the competition, and with the voucher, you can get the mascara for free. Otherwise, it is £5 off other products.

I think it is a nice xmas pressie and encourages them to spend in C2 from you.:D

Hi, you should do Laura, but give Fasttrak a call or email Avon to confirm this.
