Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

Elliebee_2

Well done Emily :j

Don't forget that when you're calculating your order value, any cats or bags etc. that you order count towards the total........not that I want to discourage you from buying something for yourself

Would you believe that some of the solutions samples are still out of stock? :mad:

Whoops - spent most of my commisson, that's not really the idea is it?? .

Still, got some lovely stuff for myself and it's good that I will be able to demonstrate some products. I also had to order 7 free gifts as I offered them with orders over £10. I got 5 for £5 in the lavender offer, a £1 shampoo and the roll on for my male customer at £1.25.

My total order (not including demo products, stationary and starters fee) is just under £190.

OMG thats awful!!!!:eek: I can't believe how many avon rep's seem to do this, from previous posts - you would think people would take pride in being a rep, and not be so evil, especially taking your books & possibly orders to!!!

Did she/he deliver you a book? If so, then they probably haven't been given your streets in error, as I got told about a rep on one of the streets I was given (not sure why she doesn't want her own street, as I think she does streets coming off from hers) so that I didn't give her a book.

Let's just hope she/he gives up soon or that your regular customers realise it isn't you taking their orders & refuse to have the products from her!

helloooooo,

Well I sumbitted my 2nd order last night. It took me quite a while. Got my cats sorted so I think that I am gonig to have quite a few boxes arriving this time LOL.

Have made about £53.00 commission with a little "creative ordering" but after my 2 sets of cats (50 ea) my 2nd £7.50 joining fee and the bits I ordered for myself and the bits I have bought for other people as got quite a few bdays coming up I am left with about £15.00. Not too bad I suppose.

I think next camp will be better I want to be left with £40.00 com but next time I wont have 2 sets of cats and a joining fee. Will have the £5.00 for my bag though. So I will need about £240.00 in orders! I will keep you updated.

Glad to hear that it's sorted - did they really think that they were able to canvass your streets then???

I see that some reps have classified ads on Ebay, has anyone here tried that and if so did it generate much interest and more sales?

I know somebody else has, and they had a reply - it was a few pages back and I can't remember who it was, sorry! I finally got around to doing an ad on Sunday, not heard anything yet, but figured being as it is free then it's got to be worth trying!

Lol I know what you mean about buying stuff for yourself, I'm limiting myself to only buying a few bits each campaign so it isn't as bad, unless it's shower gels etc on a really good offer (like the lavender 5 for £5 which I did to get bubble bath & shower gel). Did you order yourself anything nice?

ellejay156

most of it was for bday prezzies. I ordered myself the cynthia rowly gift set as I wanted a foundation brush and eyeshadow brush. So well good value.

Think that was it.

I ordered my sis in law (well nearly) a few bits of makeup and my best m8 a necklace and earings set out of the clearance. I am going to get the 5 4 5 on lavender next time, I meant to order it this time for my OH nan as it is her bday but i forgot! DUR.

I am not going out to night to deliver any cats though. Its my Bday today!!!! So i think I deserve a day off. lol

:bdaycake: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLE!

BTW When I was doing the tips for sorting out a delivery the other day, I forgot to say always have the relevant cats handy so you can see what the product looks like - makes it much easier to find

Can anyone tell me where I can get the kids hat and scarf set that was featured in C4 brochure???
