    do you reckon we could get away with calling the Antler bag in C17 "designer"?

    I've just finished writing my first proper newsletter, which I'm planning to do for all the Campaigns. It may not work but I like writing, and it adds the personal touch!
    So I'd be grateful if you ladies could have a read through, and tell me any commendations/recommendations!
    [FONT=&quot]Welcome to Campaign 17! [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Here at Avon HQ the whole house is awaft with the lovely new Bond Girl 007 fragrance. I’ve stocked up in advance, as reports are already coming in that these bottles are selling faster than those Daniel Craig in short trunks posters! On your right is a reminder of those heady days, and guys, there’s plenty of pics of gorgeous Bond Girl Gemma Arterton in your [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Avon[/FONT][FONT=&quot] book![/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]For each new brochure I’ll be telling you what I think are the best offers in the book, although as usual, there are bargains everywhere with [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Avon[/FONT][FONT=&quot]! The top three offers for C17 are…[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]3: U by Ungaro (pages 10-11) – buy a delicious perfume for £22 and get £40 of free gifts! [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Not only will you be able to layer your fragrance (making you smell gorgeous for longer), but you can have lips and nails to match the sleek pink-without-the-chintz beauty bag.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]2: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Skin So Soft [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Bath[/FONT][FONT=&quot] & Body Oil (page 155) – [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Avon[/FONT][FONT=&quot]’s best selling range offers you a less than half price bath oil.[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Usually £8, now only £3, pamper yourself and save a fiver![/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]1: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Antler Luxury Beauty Case (pages 140-141) – spend £7 and get a very practical vanity organiser worth £39 for £10![/FONT][FONT=&quot] Plus, the spend pages (140-149) are full of half price and saver offers. Buy half price products and save 75% on a designer bag for your trouble? Yes please.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]In other news; [/FONT]
    ·[FONT=&quot]GENTS – this book’s not just for girls. Hate shopping for bloke necessities? What could be easier than picking goods from a book and having it delivered to your door! Samples for all the gents fragrances are available.. highly recommended by the ladies. [/FONT]
    ·[FONT=&quot]As mentioned above I have a limited amount of Bond Girl 007 in stock (along with free cosmetic bag, mirror and Pro-to-Go lipstick), so if you can’t wait for delivery, let me know and I’ll get some to you within a couple of days! [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Enjoy folks, and remember – only 3 [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Avon[/FONT][FONT=&quot] delivery days till Christmas![/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]I’ll be back to collect the books along with any orders on Friday morning, and would be grateful if you could leave the book outside in the plastic bag provided.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]As always, if you have any queries, I’m only a call/text/email away. I’ll be delighted to hear from you.[/FONT]
    I had to stop there... it fits an A4 page and I'm running out of adjectives!
    Of course if anybody wants to use this as a template for theirs, feel free!

    I just thought, maybe I should place the BG007 in the top three, even though you get a better deal with U.

    Hi,

    Is it definitely out of stock or just low stock, coz alot of my stuff showed as low stock, then 2 days later back in stock, so maybe in a couple of days it will do the same. If not, there is a smaller far away gift set in hello tomorrow 15 that you can order for £3.50 - which is £5 for them, it comes with 50ml of shower gel instead of 100ml and no body spray or body powder, but you could ask if they would like the cheaper alternative, or you could play around with the hello tomorrows and brochures and find out how much it would cost you to buy them all separately or buy the smaller set with perhaps the 30ml eau de parfum which I think is £3, and maybe the body shimmer which is half price in one of the recent brochures.

    Hi lynsey,

    I would change this bit '[FONT=&quot]only 3 [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Avon[/FONT][FONT=&quot] delivery days till Christmas!' as I think it can be misunderstood, it sounds like there are only 3 days left before christmas, I would suggest one of the following:

    1. There are only 3 more Avon deliveries before Christmas
    2. There are only 3 more Avon buying opportunities before Christmas

    I would also put Bond Girl fragrance as one of the best deals at number 1 in the list if this is campaign 17, as that is on the cover and is in all the adverts, so I would recommend it as the best deal since it is a lower price point than Ungaro which is £22 and Bond Girl is only £16, leaving it at the bottom of the newsletters means it might not get read or noticed and I believe that is the main focus on C17!

    Otherwise, everything else sounds great - great newsletter - well done! How many days left now till you finish work? :D

    C16's not too bad for me ... about £270 orders so far and 8 days to go :T

    I got an order yesterday but no address :eek: and normally I check as I pick up the books but didn't :mad: I'm 99% sure I know which house I picked it up from though :rolleyes:

    I am having a rubbish campaign this time. Normally make about 300 but only on 129 so far and it's so rubbish and lost loads of books as well.

    Also, someone has placed an order but they havent put their address on it and it could be anyone on the longest road ever.............think i need to start checking them as i pick them up. is it worth ordering it and then hoping that they ring me to ask where it is as they ripped off the back order sheet on with my number on??? xxx
