Will I receive my C15 brochures with my order next Friday? And am I right in thinking I can still use C14 brochures to deliver to houses that have not yet had one and place those orders with my C15 order?

Yeah thats right, most of us use the current campaign and previous! That way you get two uses out of every book and you don't need to risk losing your lovely new books when your canvasing new teritorys!

Well, having been told that someone covers my work, I think it must be a different company to Avon, as I've just had 2 orders in and no one has said anything else to me about it being someone elses patch! So at the moment I have orders of £26.50, and going to put my books out tonight I think. I've put on an offer for a free gift if they spend over £20, only thing I'm worried about is if I order some of the things from the clearance bit of HT, what if they don't come and I don't have the gifts?

Hi,

I alway orde the naturals stuff from the current catalouge as free gifts. You can usually pick them up for £1.20 then after commision they only end up costing you a quid, and then if they like the free gift they can reorder. Which you cant do with clearence

In book 14 naturals shampoos are only a quid, so thats only gonna cost you 75-80p each

Brilliant, thanks. Just realised one of the streets I've been given is all businesses, so had to ask for another one!

Righto, well it's been a while since i posted on here.. another not so good campaign for me, and to be honest, i'm going to knock it on the head too. I just dont have time for it at the moment, work hours are going up, so something's got to go.

but like Crystal, i have a load of stuff here that's probably really useful to someone. if anyone is in Staffs and could make use of the latest brochures and flyers etc let me know and you're welcome to collect them. brochure 15 and 16 haven't been used yet, and i can't send them back!

just wanted to say well done to all those who are doing well at it. once you've got customers it does get easier. i've just unfortunately got a bad area, lack of time, and the customers i do have just dont spend enough each time to make it worthwhile for me . sad, but true.

anyway, pm me if anyone wants this stuff! i'd rather it went to a good home:)

Just collected my first books back ... 3 people weren't in so 3 books down, every one else was home or left them outside.

4 orders :T

Total orders are now £74.10 :T

Have handed out the 27 books I got back to the rest of the street to collect on Sunday night

Got signed up on Thursday!
Have sorted my books, they're all ready to out in the morning. Doing 14 and 15. Housemate is ordering something and my neighbour word like a book.

I'm not gonna try my hardest with this first one as my orders have to be in on thursday so just going to figure out my teritory. Plus i dont wanna go over £200 as i have nothing to make up the difference.

My orders for my first campaign are around the £200 mark now so very happy!! Still got a week or so to go and a couple of streets to canvass yet!!

Hi Guys!

When you put brochures in hairdressers etc, do you go back to collect order forms or do you ask people to email orders etc to you?
