Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

sophisoph

wow emailed avon ten mins ago and already got a response... got my delivery this morning and the bumper box i ordered wasnt there! annoying as i was relying on it for freebies for customers etc im on campaign 18 and back ordered it from HT 17. It hadnt shown up on my invoice either so emailed and asked what to do...here is their reply

I am sorry to advise that product number 62687 is no longer available in our range of products. In order for us to keep ahead of the latest fashion trends, we introduce several new products each campaign. This means it is necessary to discontinue some of our older products.

does this mean they arent doing bumper boxes anymore???? or just not for that campaign?

They might be updating the bumper box so have discounted and are getting ready to relaunch.

Hiya - when I joined up there was an advert for 2 bags on a flyer which you can buy in your first two campaigns.
I'm using my OH's laptop bag at the moment when I do a brochure drop - it holds about 30 brochures and is ideal as I can put it over my shoulder.
Does anybody know if either of the bags would be suitable as a replacement??
Thinking not of the Demonstration Bag but the other one.
Sorry to be so vague, I don't have the flyer with me and am hoping that everyone knows what I'm wittering on about!!

hmm, Ive just noticed something a bit odd with my invoice. I had a client order a spectracolour lipstick in brown from campaign 17, my invoice says it out of stock but when I tried to order the same thing from campaign 18 it has a green dot! Very odd, I wonder if it will turn up in my order tomorrow or not?

can you explain a telecontact offer pls?

Think and hope this is right:

Its when Avon phone you and offer you items such as the above and charge you in normally two campaigns time. Not sure how you get on or off the contacts list. I have been doing Avon now a year and it only the last three or four months I have had the offers.

Is this the MoneyMakers thing?

denise38

No the Moneymakers appear in your Hello Tomorrow. They are when they give you the opportunity to buy a product at a discounted rate I think 2 campaigns ahead of when the product appears. You usually have to buy a few of them to get the discounted rate then send them in that campaign and charge 2 campaigns later. Last one was the eye stuff I think that is in Brochure one at £12. You were able to buy them at £7 if you bought 3 or more. Yes a bit like the telecontact offer in that you don't pay for them till 2 campaigns later but the products won't be on the front pages. I suspect telecontact are ones they want to shift.

Thanks denise you explained that better xxx

I too think its the stuff they want to shift because i never seem to sell much of it. Decided to give this one a real go and put them together in some cellophane as a gift set. Usually tend to sent it all back but worth a shot before xmas.

Maybe worth an email or phone call to customer services if you wish to get on the contact list. I normally agree to it to get them off the line but then have the hassle of sending it back again. :mad:
