minigirl762003 - i think we'll get the demo bag after 6th campaign has finished as ive already reached the £1500 sales in my first 3/4 campaigns and have not received it and i *think* you get it only if you submit an order in all 6 campaigns IYSWIM but dont quote me on that..

salsaaddict - id tell your asm you have dropped there incase its someone elses territory (even though they havent seen a book)

whatever123456 - I cant see it in C4 brochure either, if it has been discontinued could you just market it as a sample of the type of thing you can get in the ANEW range? and point out in the C4 brochure on page 28/29 your customers can buy other trial sized products to test the rest of the current range before they commit to a full sized product?

Sesssal - Ive not done a party either but i am considering doing them later in the year... sorry I cant help at the min but maybe google it and see if you can find any ideas? I know there are other places on the net there are AVON discussions.

vicallen2004 - I think i read somewhere alot of the items in the bumper box are discontinued.. I personally wouldnt be sure about paying out for a box i didnt know what was in it! But then again im not a gambler..... If you and really did want some stock why not look through your past orders and find your most popular items then keep an eye on the brochure/HT's to see when they are on a great offer and use the money you'd buy the bonus box on buying stuff you know your customers consistently buy? that way its more likely you wont end up with lots of "stock" you cant shift and possible bag yourself some extra commission if they order it when its NOT on offer.

I dont think ill be keeping much "stock", i got landed with a £50 anniversary pack and have been unable to shift most of it... even by giving all my customers a list of everything i had "in stock" with massive discounts on it... still not one order from the list!:rolleyes: (and me and my OH keep having arguments about the boxes of "AVON c**p" everywhere from the small amount of stock i do have and my brochures, paperwork etc :rotfl: )


I covered 48 new houses yesterday so im *hoping* to pick up some new customers... am doing very poor with orders again, if i dont count my OH's order (which i think he's done out of sympathy again...) or the stuff i want... i have only got £70.50 in customer orders for C3 and my order goes in on thursday. I'm finding alot of people are saying they just dont have the money at the moment.... I'm gutted too i had a customer say they werent ordering but had considered the seksy watch which is £22 but wasnt sure and not wanting to be pushy i said dont worry if she wasnt sure .. now i wish i had pushed her... but thats not my style! :rolleyes:

Hi Johanne - Thanks very much! I'll have a look on Google

Blimey just got some of our C2 books back and we are at £375 already , i think missing the last 2 campaigns out was a good call as it was too close and too soon after xmas :beer:

Sessal - I have some great word documents about preparing for avon parties, games to play etc, but they are too big to copy and paste, if you pm me your email address I will send them to you (I got them from flissys, didn't do them myself).

thank you Ellie for all you did trying to help, i appreciated it you're so nice :T
cant really concentrate on avon at the moment even though i have no other money coming in and dont earn much off avon at the moment anway, down at the moment, so far this year i've had....
financial hassles
my sister had a miscarriage while i was there
my cousins dog had to be put down
yesterday my cat who i had for over 20 years had to be put down so upset, so not feeling happy to say the least. plus a mulititude of other things. hopefully things may start looking upsoon - either that or im hibernating!!

anyway thank you hope you do really well with all your orders XX

You have a rough time haven't you! Hopefully that's all your bad luck for the foreseeable future :dance:

You'll probably find that if you step back from it for a bit then you'll approach it afresh and with renewed enthusiasm when you start again. It's always hard at the start anyway - the longer you do it, the more routine you get into (except when we have the hated 2-weekly campaigns, that it )

I'm sure I've said it before on here, but when you get to the end of your tether, tie a knot in it and hang on

Hi all, I ordered 5 of the Anew Rejuvenate money makers in HT2 and got 2 free. Have just checked invoice for C2 (delivery due friday) and have the 5 down as charged but not the 2 free ones. I haven't sold any :rotfl: Do I have to credit all 7 back or just the 5 on the invoice? xx

anyone?

I currently order 70/80 books (some books are for work/family/parties etc i ordered 100 C18's before xmas!) and do 3+ drops (depending on how many books I get back off each drop I do!).

Through the 2 week campaigns, I'm only delivering to houses that have ordered before/shown an interest which is around 35/40 houses so have only ordered 45 books.

With 400 houses, I'll probs order 100 books a campaign and filter out the houses that aren't interested etc so my round will get slightly smaller :rotfl:
