  • Right I've just emailed Avon concerning the new rep incentives to see if they have lowered it or not. Any one have any idea how long it will take for them to answer me as I've got to put my order in tomo.
  • Woohoo Just had 4 orders come in and my grand total is .....£268.50 I've what I needed for my incentive (just got to get £250 in C2 to get my personal organiser)

    I have just submitted my C1 order.. approx £525 in sales:j (forgot to add it up properly before submitting doh!) after some clever ordering ;) Actual customer forms say £544 :p..... and thats NOT including my own stuff :D


    I just hope i can do half aswell in C2 as i want my organiser incentive too :rotfl: but my C2 runs right over christmas and so doubt people will be thinking about avon :eek: :eek: :eek:
  • Brilliant Johanne - well done! Also to Mini and everyone else who has done well this time. :T

    My C1 arrives on the 23rd, and I'd expected that hardly anyone would want stuff that close to Christmas. However, I'm up to £200 so far and I know I have a few more to come, so it looks like being 'asylum central' here on 23rd :D. I've already told OH that help WILL be required :snow_laug

    :rotfl: Don't keep rubbing it in about the incentives......some of us aren't getting them :p

    C1 Extra Commission / freebie / cheapy finds:
    Someone mentioned this before..... the Daring Curves Mascara on special offer for £4 in C1 is also in the Summer Blues Bargain Bag in HT (£6 in HT2, £7 in HT3).
    On my behind territory, I did a special offer in my newsletter offering a free Hydra-Radiance Moisturising Night Cream with any Daring Curves mascara (I'd keep the rest) - no takers.... but 3 people on my current territory ordered the Daring Curves at £4! No offer on my newsletter for them so I'll keep all the extra stuff in the bargain bag for myself!
    I'm also ordering the Daring Curves mascara as normal separately, in case Avon run out of Summer Blues Bag, but if all works well I'll return them next time. So, it works out like..
    Customers paying £4 each for mascara
    SBBBs cost £6 each - minus money from customer = cost to me £2 each
    I'll (hopefully) end up with
    3 blue and white vanity cases
    3 Perceive Eau De Parfums(!) (full size!)
    3 Hydra-Radiance Moisturising Night Cream
    3 Footworks Deep Moisturising Cream
    for £6 spend! Bargain Central! :D
    If you do this though, bare in mind that if you are successful in getting the bargain bags, you'll be returning the mascaras you've ordered to guarantee the customer gets them, and that return credit will come off your total MOV for C1/C18 (whichever campaign you ordered them in) - so if you've cut it fine for the incentives (sorry Elliebee!:o), it may make your MOV drop below the £150 or £250 then you'll miss out on the iNRDP rewards.

    Also, in C1 the In a Blink Eye Shadow & Liner (page 6) seems quite popular.
    In C18 it's part of the 1 for £5, 2 for £8, 3 for £10.
    I've had 2 customer orders for them, customer cost £12, my cost either - £8 and get extra £4 commission... or ... (and my choice) get something else for free, my cost will be £10 and I'll still get extra £2 commission! :D

    Clearskin Professional Set - £9 in C1 but £8 in C18!


    That's it for my bargain finds for this campaign.

    In other tips - BIG writing / font of collection date on my newsletter made an amazing difference! 100% books back on 1 street and 90% on others!

    So, order going off to Avon is £284
    Books & bags cost £14
    I've earned about £55 after costs (taking into account extra ;) commission and fixed price goods)

    All this probably makes !!!!!! all sense, cuz it's waaaay to late/early! So apols for the verbose post!
    :)

    Morning all :D

    My Order is due today and I have to make my first return :eek:

    Is the barcode number the last 4 digits below the barcode? :confused:

    Thanks :D

    Also, I have 2 customers who have only ordered things that are out of stock and therefore have no delivery for them. I'm going to knock today to let them know but if they are not home do you think a note to let them know is sufficient? Or should I try and call back when they are home?

  • I would leave a note in case you can't get in touch with them.. at least then they are for warned.
