    deanos - well done! :T :T :T

    I wont be taking a full campaign off.... my dates are

    C1 - delivered tomorrow.

    C2 - to be submitted 30th dec - delivered 7th jan - only going to customers who have ordered before

    C3 - to be submitted the 15th jan - delivered 21st jan - going to "Group B" of territory only will be starting to canvas this week after christmas

    C4 - to be submitted cant remember off hand- delivered 4th feb going to "Group A" in territory will start canvassing this just after new year.

    C5 - back to normal... will put 2nd part of territory on back order to C4 though


    It means i get almost 3 week campaigns for all except C2.. but thats only going to customers whove ordered before so can be done in a week or so anyway. Also going to chuck out some my spare C1's to houses not canvassed yet on my new territory with big "NEW YEAR SALE OFFER - 10% OFF BROCHURE PRICES".. see if i can drum up some new customers.. if not its no worries if i lose the brochures! :p
  • I print the details of offers and collection and delivery dates onto paper and just put the brochure number on the order slip. this way they can be re-used.

    the printer is the epson sx200 all in one, there is a shop by me who also sell on the web. They have brill prices for the inks etc.
    Oooh, that's my new printer too. I just thought I'd done well getting a set plus an extra black for £10.99 off Ebay. Can you PM me your shop details too pls blackwidowz. tyvm :)
  • Done that for you..

    Re. order forms, I don't put any information on mine apart from my contact details (so was glad to see the new forms ditched the "Special Message from your Representative" part!). All the info. is on the newsletters I print off - reusing order forms multiple times, I just hated to see that paper going to waste! (Cuz it's got glue on - no good for some recycling places.)

    Won't be skipping any campaigns - I want my iNRDP incentives! (Sorry Elliebie ;))
    :)
  • Oh, alright, I'll let you off then ;)

    You work exactly the same way I do - I think some of my forms are due a first birthday soon :D

    I'm not missing out any campaigns. I shall be putting in my C1 order tomorrow for delivery 23rd; it's around the £200 mark so OH WILL be helping! My C2 order is due in on Jan 7th, so I shall only do the first half of my area and miss out the 'back order' bit (it's a Christmas book anyway). If worst comes to worst and I only get a couple of orders, then I'll either just accept that I get no commission on them, or (if they are regular customers) ask them if they would mind waiting - it's only another 2 weeks at this time of year.

    I don't like the idea of putting 2 books out together as my lot have trouble remembering to put out 1, let alone 2 :rotfl:

    Congratulations on getting PC Deanos :T

  • Hi
    Is anyone taking a campaign off over Christmas /new year.

    I am, I submit C1 today for del on thurs ( a day earlier than normal ).
    C2 has to be in on Jan 5, so I am just going to order books and HT stuff.

    I told my ASM ages ago she seemed upset, but I am determined to spend quality time with family , not chasing after Avon books.

    Vicky

    I have given out C2 books to my colleagues as that order doesn't have to be submitted until 9th January and we break up on Friday until 5th January. C1 will just be any bits my DH wants plus any HT products plus C3 books to canvas my territory once Xmas is out of the way. It's the last thing people want to think about over the Xmas period. Just got to decide when would be the best day to take the books out - between Christmas and New Year or wait until 1st week in January? :rolleyes:

    I know I was once told not to miss a campaign completely - even if you only order one thing so you can get the next HT and other important information.

    Regards

  • I think I shall do mine around 29th - at least people have a bit more time while they're not at work.

  • hi
    i have decided to start doing avon.
    I get a book through the door and a few mums from my daughters dance group have ordered through it. I decided Iwas being silly doing all the leg work for someone else to take the money so have decided to do the group myself.
    Have phoned avon and given them my details but was wondering will they let me just do the group and friends i dont want to do any roads in my aera as the ones not covered are too far away
    thanks beki
  • Nice to have you on board becki, yes you can do just family and friends etc. i have a rep who makes a fair bit just doing that.

    Good luck with it
