What we do is put a little leaflet in, just saying collection date, delivery date and our contact number and a little tick box asking if they wish to have another book or not so we dont bother them next time round if they are not intrested.
Sometimes we knock it depends on if we have enough time0 -

Thanks for that deanos, do you find you still get all your books back that way ?0 -
We get most back, we usually try one more time if we don't get it back we will just write it off, its not worth alot of time and effort over a book costing 10p
This is a sample of what it looks like, not very artistic but it does the job !0 -
i dropped to every door... i left a slip saying collection day etc and to leave a note if they didnt want books anymore... i got a few of them.
I collected all the ones left outside in the morning then went back in the evening when everyone was home and knocked on doors where there was not a book left out, I just said "hi im here to collect the avon brochure?" as it was handed back to me i asked if they would like to recieve them again or not. Then i know not to drop there next time...
If there was no answer i put a "sorry i missed you" note through then knocked again on the day on the slip...
So far out of dropping the books to 60ish houses ive only lost 5 books!
Hope that helps.
(my thinking was if its just put through they may look at it, but if i knock and ask many people will just dismiss it before even knowing whats in the book)

Have you asked a pub if you can do a stall for Xmas? You could order a load and try and sell it at an even to help you get in? Or you could give everyone you know Avon for xmas lol.
My order si totally wrong :mad: Six items missing and four wrong> But on the plus side, one I never asked for in the first place and 44 packs of order forms instead of 32!

Johanne & deanos
Thanks for that suppose its true what you said Johanne you prob would look at the book if it was popped through. The only problem I have is that I work 8am till 5pm Mon to Fri so the only time I will get is at night, as im normally busy at the weekends. Do you find most folk answer their doors in the darker nights???? Sorry if it seems like im asking silly questions but it all helps beleive me.
Ive taken a copy of your leaflet deanos :beer:

If you ordered sign-up packs, they should include 2 packs for each one automatically. That's the theory, anyway! Because they're supposed to have the order forms in them, but they forgot to put them in when they changed the packs.
My leaflet is similar to yours, Deanos, except I put when the delivery will be and a space for people to put their order total if they place an order. I find it helps people to remember to have cash on the right day... I also state on it that I don't accept cheques and won't leave an order without payment!
De, I think it really depends on your area. I have one part that's mainly pensioners and they won't answer the door after deal or no deal even when it's light outside! But in another part, I'll only ever get people in after 7pm, even on weekends. I think it's the kind of thing you'll only find out by experimenting, or asking people when you do meet them.0 -
Good luck De. Hope your order has less stuff missing and wrong than mine did!0
