Hi all, thought I'd join in!! I'm Leanne I live in mid Cornwall and share my house with a mad as a fish lurcher called Ziggy. I started Avon last October as a way of both making some extra money and meeting some new people.

Hi Leanne!:D

Thought maybe if people wanted we could post what the greatest (and maybe least!!!) amount you've ever made from commission!

For me - as of yet I've made nothing as I only signed up earlier this week! But am hoping to make at least £20 commission, I'd be happy with that

Hi all,

I've been thinking for years of taking up Avon, my Mum used to be a rep and would take me out with her in the evenings when I was little, plus I grew up with boxes all over the house full of Avon gear. I know how it all works and am wondering if it would be worth giving it a go myself?

I work full time but could manage Avon at evenings and weekends, I'm thinking it might be a good way to earn a bit more cash until OH finds a job (he was laid off last week)

My intro...

I'm Laurie and I'm 33, happily married and mum to a 2-year old boy and 2-week old girl. We now live in Glossop having moved from Liverpool in October and we also have a 4-year old black lab X that we got from the RSPCA when he was 5-months old. I started doing Avon in November as a way to get out of the house and meet people plus earn a bit of pocket money for myself. I also do Usborne children's books but that's on the backburner for a while whilst I get used to life with 2 young children.

afternoon all
right introduction first
im beki 28 married with two girls age 6 and 3, and no i dont really smell (quickly checks under arms to make sure).
I started avon on c1 this year and originally was just doing friends and family but after not having a cat through the door this year,i asked my asm if my street was still being done and yippee it wasnt.
So now i have to work out how many houses are on my street and will strt putting books out.
Will be using my c3 books first as using c4 on friends so i can use my books again and hopefully reach the 78 target each month.
hope everyone is ok on this gloomy grey sunday

hello all!

my order went in on friday and i have just had a customer phone up who forgot to leave book out. the order is for £34. if i place an additional order and pay delivery charge will avon add this £34 on to my total meaning i get commission on it OR would i be better off ordering from customer website with free delivery code?

got to get this stuff to her next week as not only is she a good customer i have been friends with her oh for years :eek:

cheers,
loki x

just had a look at prices and because it would have been a back order anyway it will be much more expensive on avon customer website. have added products to rep site and does not show any commission so i guess that they don't 'tie' the orders together if it is an additional :eek:. so... next question - if i make order up to £52 so that i reach commision level and then send stuff back will i get to keep the commission on the items i keep???

just trying to 'play' the system a little so i dont loose money!

wonder if anyone knows the answer?????

cheers,
loki

I think you will keep the commission as I ordered an extra item last campaign to make it up to £52. I put the extra item in for a return and it just deducts the "your cost" amount from your balance, meaning that you keep the commission on all other items. I think - please correct me if I am wrong!

I've taken the plunge and decided to apply for more details and see if Avon is for me. I discussed it with my boyfriend and he said as long as I dont get carried away and wear myself out he'll support me 100%, great I said, you can come out with me then!
