Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

Summer-Caitlin

Does anyone know if I can get my hands on more catalogues as a new rep? I was given 20 of C8 an C9 but it is not enough to go around. I have kept 4 back so I am only delivering 16 at a time. I have contacted my SL but she hasn't got back to me yet.

Also I have enclosed a note offering a free gift for orders over £20, people at work and no doubt customers too will ask me what this free gift is, but I didn't intend to name a free gift. I know plenty of you do the same promo and I wondered what kind of gift you think would be suitable for an order over £20?

avon_boy86 - Wish I knew, I have a feeling I will have loads more questions when it comes to invoicing time!!

Thanks again!

Hiya hun
If you were driving distance from me I would have got DP to drop in my old C7 but we are a bit too far for that. Try phoning Avon for more brochures although they will charge you a delivery if it is not your pre agreed delivery date.

I always offer a free gift over £15 usually a naturals or sense bath product.
If it is £20+ I would see what they have ordered, I have also ordered demo 1litre bottles of bubble bath which retail at £5 normally but you get them on offer for £2 usually.
Or discontinued jewellery or demo perfumes etc.
One of my customers has order £60+ worth this order so what I have done is two other customers had ordered makeup so I ordered them from HT and got the watch in HT9 for £3.50 which I will give her which still gives me a health profit but makes her appreciate that I am glad she is a customer.
HT is invaluable and always check for clever ordering.
if it is buy 2 products get a 3 free cross reference all you orders to check how many you can order.
Last one I ordered was the free bag I got two free using clever ordering.
And they too will be used as free gifts at a later date.
I always say "mystery free gift" that way you don't need to say.

I always put their order in carrier bags, It is great advertising if they reuse the bag ( they are quite pretty ) then I put their order form and samples in the medium paper bags and on the front I write their name and order total, and also free gift - 1 litre of magnolia bubble bath - RRP £5
so they can see the value of their free gift.

Quick question guys,

are the boxes/packs of brochures ALWAYS charged in 2 campaigns time? also i just looked at my online invoice and it says that items included at no cost is as follows

10 packs order forms
3 HT

I assume that 3 HT is 3 individual catalogues, is there any way of ordering more HT to be included with this additional order? and does anyone know why i was charged 2.50 for an additional order yet i haven't been for items included in the above order?

Thx guys x

It is only your first brochures that are charged over 2 campaigns all further ones are done on a 3 wkly basis.
Don't know why they have given you 3HT unless it is HT7-8&9
If you are unsure of the charges phone them? Did you get an additional order or an order placed after the specified deadline?

Thanks for the post. I, like many others i'm sure, will try to apply this advice

Does anyone know if the Dotty camisole is available in Camp 9 onwards ? I saw it in camp 7 brochure, but its not in the camp 8 ? Not sure whether to order it next time or wait till it might be cheaper (missed it in HT).

Hi Karen

Thanks a lot for your post, I sure wish we did live closer as I would be picking your brain constantly at the mo!

I have Hello Tomorrow 10 and have been looking at the clearance section which has a lot of nice products but I am unsure of what sort of value I should be looking at. I think it is better to say mystery gift as I may be able to order creatively and get free gifts that way and use that instead.

Anyone ever ordered the lucky dip?

I really want the antler cabin case too, for myself of course! Am I right in thinking I could only order one of these?

Thanks

That antler cabin bag is fab, i considered getting one of thos and unpicking the carry handles off, make it look less feminine will make a great bag for my hairdressing tools lol. Lucky dip is a good idea i have thought about it not actually done one yet.Ya don't have to spend a huge amount in HT or gifts or mystery prizes, am always making additional orders from HT,quite surprised they not banned me yet
:rotfl: What i do is always order several things from there and it soon adds up so there is always something that would make a great gift.
