    unfortunetly its per campaign number (so once for c6 and once for c7) so you will have the pay the £4.86 twice! :rolleyes:

    AND its per order so for example if i ordered extra c7 books with my order this time even though ive just had 80 delivered...... id have to pay the £4.86 for the first 3 lots again!


    EDITED TO ADD.... BTW can you tell i cant be bothered putting these orders together?? I'm finding a million and one things to distract myself! lol

    Good morning all

    My name is Carol and i live in Thurrock I have a manager coming round today at 1pm to sign me up I received a letter in the post and seem to have an account no already:rotfl: I am hoping to make some pin money to help pay for my childrens schoo; trips and my eldest daughter nearly 16 is going to help and share the profits to help her when she starts college in Sept.
    Thats all for now but if you think that there is anything special i should be asking please let me know

    Hi tiredmum :wave:

    Ellejay - What samples where you going to order for the extra £5?
  • with every order I offered free samples, so i need to put 2 or 3 per order, got 16 orders, Also with C6 purfumes are on offer so I was going to samples with most cats I put out to try and get some more sales.

  • Welcome to all the 'newbies' :wave: - there seem to be lots at the moment, our fame must be growing! Good luck everyone!

    Not having had a lot of success from putting the brochure highlights in the books (too long for people to bother with, perhaps?) I've now done a 'Free Stuff' flyer. If anyone wants one to use as a template, then PM your email addy. Can't guarantee it will work though, but hopefully few people can resist something for nothing...........:rotfl:

    I too have had problems with my SL or ASM. She used to contact me regularly but now her phone just rings out so I contacted Avon and they replied saying she would contact me within 10 days but that was about a month ago and still no contact!!

    Also, I have had a customer who placed an order then wasn't in when I went to deliver, only her teenage daughter who had no money. I went back again but still no-one in. I rang and left my number for her to contact me to arrange delivery or even collection as a couple of my other customers have done but no contact. I even posted her a note but still no contact so I decided to return the goods and no more books for her. I work full time as I'm sure a lot of other Avon reps do and to be honest, I don't have time to be chasing one customer over an £8 order!!

    Sorry - rant over

    I see.

    Dont forget if both your 1st and 2nd campaigns are/were over £144 in award sales you get 13 packs of make up samples... and if both are/were over £250 you get 30 packs of samples in total.. (but not fragrances)
  • Totally off topic - but I hope I'll be forgiven in the circumstaces.

    Putting aside any political feelings, I'm sure we would all want to send our thoughts and sympathy to David & Samantha Cameron and family on their devastating loss.

    Good call, Elliebee. I don't think there's much to add other that I think everyone is sorry for their terrible loss.
