    The oasis watch is actually for C9 ... i think someone has got it wrong in the email saying its c6.

    I'm on C7 now and my front page has the following
    Oasis Black Patent Strap Watch
    Oasis is the fashionista's high street choice, and that's why we've teamed up with the popular brand to offer a stylish, Oasis-branded watch for only £3.70 when you spend just £7 on selected make-up products. With a real leather strap, brushed steel case and opulent diamante detail, we know you'll want to treat yourself. This offer is so exclusive we've had to limit it to one per Representative!

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Make sure you're wearing yours when you
    point out the brochure offer to your
    customers - full price is £45 in Brochure 9
    but it's just £5 when they spend £10 on selected make-up products

    without knowing your whole story i would still advise to speak to carriers as : 1. it might have been left with another rep or neighboor - in which case you have to ring carriers to find out.

    2. your parcel includes your invoice..please remember that you do have an outstanding balance at the moment for those none received products.

    dont expect an asm or carriers to ring you to sort this out as thats not the way avon works sadly

    asm's are out 24/7 recruiting new reps and training them, meeting plus managing there area which means covering 450-500 reps, dealing with orders beeing placed , balance paid etc. trust me i worked along my area manager and i feel sorry for her.

    carriers do deliver area by area which means 550 reps daily if anyone is not in they go and might leave your things at another rep but wont come back to let you know as they daily schedule is tight.

    if you give me your area number i could give you the number of your carriers.

    well if you want it

    Some of our best-selling make-up, compacts and lipsticks have been given a chic makeover. Tell customers that if they spend £10 on make-up in Brochure 6 they can also get this beautiful Oasis Watch for just £5. That's a huge credit-crunch saving of £45!

    Weird......the above was in an email I received today.
    Thank you for your replies, good job I checked before rushing out and telling customers!! lol

    I've just noticed that the Cellu-Sculp Cream is £6 in the C5 book and also £6 in HT8 clearance (with no discount!)

    But wait........it's not as simple as that! It would appear that they are decreasing the size too, since the one they are selling off is 250ml, whereas the one in the book is 200ml. In future, I shall check the clearance items to see if the size is reducing in future books. It's a crafty way of putting up the price though, isn't it?
