    I think you have to go through Avon to get a website or Avon have to approve it or something .....
  • That's great minigirl, I hope I have a successful campaign like yours:jHow many houses do you do?

    Thanks. I have about 200-250 houses and from them i have 20 regular customers. I sell quite abit to family and friends and I've just been given some more houses which i will start canvessing once im back from my hols.

    Even I get surprised at how well im doing and hoping to bump up the number of customers when I re-canvess my old roads.

    I currently have orders of £151 but as ASM made me sign up OH to get my street I have to make 2 x MOV's :eek: and not sure I'll get that many more orders ... fingers crossed for the new territory I delivered to today! xx

  • HI All

    How is everyone?

    Put my 5th order in tonight which came to about £380 customer orders. Not good considering I have about 300 odd houses. Mind you I didn't canvass them all just gave books to customers plus canvassed about 50 houses that haven't bought before.

    I have decided to put an advert in my local shop window asking people if they would like to see an Avon book to contact me.
  • Delivered my 5 orders from new territory and was impressed by how smooth it went. Thanks to this forum I picked up the tip to drop off a note saying delivery time and amount owed. Had one ask to re arrange but everyone was in with correct change :D

    Delivered more brochures to territory yesterday and got more of the streets down by using both campaign books - managed to get around the majority. Picking them up tomorrow night and then hoping to redeliver to the rest of territory on Friday. Fingers crossed for some good orders

    Hope everyone is doing ok xx

    So I am going to collect my 16 catalogues this afternoon (4.30pm) and put them straight back out again. I don't have any expectations as I only put out 16, hopefully though I will get orders! As this is my first campaign, I am curious how much you all made on your first campaign? I hope to get the incentives for new reps but £250 seems difficult to acheive...

    Also have a question regarding ordering for myself. What do you guys do to maximise profit, just put an order through as normal or what?

    Hi,was wondering if someone could help me out.

    I started doing Avon about four years ago, and at the time was in a financially abusive relationship. When he found out how much I was getting from Avon even as a newbie, he started taking the money. I now owe Avon £175 (just phoned up cos I want to clear my debts) and agreed to repay £20 a fortnight.

    Is there anyway of getting back into Avon after this?

    Hi hun
    I would speak to them about it, I don't see why not but I suppose it depends on their policies.
    Well done to you though for making a change in your life :T

    Placed my order last night
    I got £127 of orders :(
    Did have at least one other order,
    a friends friend but she never got it in on time
    I get really annoyed when I have purchased brochures
    because they have asked for extra.
    I have another friend who takes a brochure into her work,
    last month she didn't order because she took the brochure into work and never got to look at it before the order was placed.
    So this month I gave her 2 brochures one for her work and one for her.
    Emailed her on Friday to remind her Tuesday 10pm was the deadline,
    no reply so reemailed her yesterday still no reply :mad:
    Then my other friend I gave her 2 books one for her and her sister and one for a friend. no orders from them despite contacting them twice via email and once via phone.
    I would prefer they said ( and have told them this too ) sorry never saw anything.

    Oh well, hope next month is better :(
    Life is what you make it;)

    My C7 went in last night and was a lot less than normal but it's gas/leccy and council tax time so to be expected I guess.
