Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

deanos

Just flicking around in the HT8 book, notice they are selling a cotton Bag For Life for £3, 25p goes in commission and 75p gets donated to breast cancer, seeing as you can buy these bags in loads of places for £1 i think its very bad of Avon to make a profit on these bags, they should donate all profit to the charity and offer no commission instead of making money from it

Yeah I thought the same thing, Primark sell a good one for about £1,50 which looks very good quality.

Well the way I see it is this is a business and not a get rich quick scheme, and all businesses have to spend money at the start to make money later, at least I'm hoping so anyway....

I completely agree the first 3-4 campaigns you won't make huge profits.
but with perseverance you could have a lucrative deal on your doorstep.

I spent around £20 the first few campaigns to build up a good supply of samples then after I just topped up and bought 3-4 free gifts every campaign.
I now have 75 freebies in stock
@ 300 perfume/aftershave samples
160 lippy samples
2 of each colour of foundation samples
@ 100 lotion and cream samples
and about 30 bath samples

Each order I try and keep my stock of samples up but recently I let it slip over christmas.
I usually make around £50 per campaign and around £10 is for books and samples so I still make £40 for minimal effort.
But I am happy doing it and I enjoy trying the new products and giving people positive feedback and not just sales patter

I know a few ladies do half and half
if you run out use campaign 5 for some of them so you have the oppertunity to see more customers
Then you can if needed look through the orders and if anything is cheaper in c6 edit it and order from 6 so your customers know you are doing whats best for them.
Honesty is always good with your clientel.

Does anyone know where I can get a C5 brochure? I want to back-order but the internet version isn't the easiest to read...

Just delivered all of my territory orders and they were all in and paid straight away . Ok, I only had 7 to deliver but I thought that was good. The lady that ordered the most (over £30) said that her daughter was dying to look at the new book so fingers crossed they both order £30 worth next time . I've got another 3 orders to get money for but they are all friends and family so will get it at the weekend.

The lady with the bracelet was a bit disappointed that it was out of stock but was very pleased with the free jewellery box that I gave her to make up for it (I got it free anyway and didn't want it).

I also put out 74 books and covered one of my new roads with C5 and 2 of my old roads with C6. There were flats in my new road. Luckily one of the blocks had the secure door open but the other didn't. I pressed the 'trade' button on the intercom but nothing happened. I was going to walk away but the stubborn streak in me thought 'that is 6 possible orders!!'. So I pressed the buttons until a lady answered and asked her if she wanted to see an Avon book (put it more politely than that!). She said no but did I want her to let me in anyway!! I delivered to the other 5 flats but just left her out and crossed her off for next time.

Going to pick all of them up on Monday and then redeliver to my other 2 roads on Thursday next week as I have the day off.
