Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

lozza1985

Just thought I'd mention what I did this campaign to try and increase sales. I put a leaflet inside the brochure where I put the order form saying something along the lines of "as a special easter treat, all orders of £10 or over will receive a goodie bag of a variety of samples from Avons fantastic ranges. To allow me to tailor the samples to your needs, please complete these questions below" and I had a choice of tick boxes for foundatain (light, medium etc), lipsticks (red, brown etc) skin type (normal, dry, older). And I will also give a few fragrance samples in each pack.

I have to say that it really has worked - I've had very few orders for below £10 whereas the previous 2 campaigns I had lots of orders for below £10, even below £5. Obviously if you would have to buy the samples then it wouldn't be that cost effective - but I thought it was a good way to get rid of some of the samples I was given for hitting the targets, and it might increase sales in the future. Hope this helps someone.

just about to take my c6 brochures out as ive only just got them :mad: but the up side i have 40 now instead of just the 20 ASM gave me (eventually!). But she did also give me 20 C7 brochures to make up for being a bad ASM lol. So 40 c6's are going out and the 16 c5's i have left.

So im off out just before i set off to my birthday party at my mums this afternoon

Hope everyone is having a good campaign!jkkjk;m <--- cat walked across laptop to say hi i guess lol.

Sorry if this has been asked previously, can you return demo products if they have been used? I brought the solutions am/pm radiance cleanser and moisturiser duos in campagin 5. I have used them twice and found that they really dry my skin out, or should i just give them to my sister ....lol

I'm not sure, but I would imagine that the same rules might apply as they do for if you had bought them from a brochure, giving you 90 days to return?

Hello..

I used to be an Avon rep before I got into financial problems. Have now got bad credit history. I was thinking of doing Avon again - do they do a credit check?

Thanks

As long as you don't owe Avon and ran your account well when you were a Rep last time, you should be absolutely fine.
