    anyone know what is in the £50 box yet?

    Which £50 box do you want to know about?
  • Feeling really down about my Avon this campaign. Need to make £250 to ensure I can get my incentive gift of a personal organizer. Had no probs with the last 2 campaigns but I've got a week to go and have only got orders for £40. :(

    I have still got half the estate to go but cant see me getting many if any orders there. :o

    Please someone cheer me up!
  • Pinzy - Thanks for that - I didnt get a message unfortunately but that is a really good offer for bags so have bought them anyway as I was using some that I got in the supermarket which were about £1.50 for 20 so that is much better value.....

    Minigirl762003 - Keep going hun - I have a rotten 1st two campaigns so any hope of the incentive gift have gone out of the window for me - Just try and focus on it this last week if you can - try and get as many books back in and put them back out again for the last couple of days ? Have you got an area that you havent tried...............

    Pluck up the courage and go into the hairdressers etc locally and another good tip which I found worked - If you have Facebook change your status to something like "Last minute orders for Avon - Free gift with over £20 spend " and also text all your mates saying - Dont know if you know but I am an Avon lady ? Do you need anythign for Xmas ? Give me a text and I'll pop round with a book and we can have a natter too !!! "

    Keep smiling though - Just think when you are trudging the streets - 100's of us all over the country and doing the same !!! hee hee
  • I've felt like giving up once or twice but as others have said, the women in the adverts who have over a [SIZE=undefined]hundred customers didn't get them over night - though it would be nice - when you put all your books out and dont get half back it leaves you feeling down but when you get lots of orders its great, somtimes you do somtimes you dont, but hopefully we'll end up with lots of customers too! I had my orders delivered this week, i wasnt in to get them my boyfriend did and he said the delivery driver had just been to another woman in my area who wasnt in so he just left her stuff with me said she's pick it up but she hasnt been round yet! So besides getting all my orders out now i have to carry boxes round to her, didnt think they could just leave them with anyone, only the place you said on your form. Putting out my first newsletters this next brochure so see how that goes also have to try and sell four pots of the anew day cream that i got sent too. [/SIZE]

    Zakiya - there was a list somewhere of the goods but having checked my emails it didn't come via that! Not sure if it was on the website / in HT / someone else knows.

    Basically I do remember that it wasn't amazing. Basically you got £100 of stuff for £50. They're trying to tell you that you'll get 50% commission, but that's a) only if your customers happen to order it, b) if they order it when it's not on offer in the book.

    As we know from doing Avon, we can frequently get stuff at a quarter of the price it is in the book, so if anything you're probably better of setting aside £50 and spending it on bargains as and when they come along. At least you know the sort of things your customers buy.
    :)

    It just came up on 'My Messages'. I presumed everyone had received one! Hopefully some people will benefit, sorry if you got all excited!

    Not me - I think you must be one of the 'chosen ones'!!! :rotfl:

    I DID get a voucher code offering 20% off but since my last purchase was only about £3 I decided to save the code in case I buy something more expensive.
