Hi there,

I have just joined this forum and have loved reading all the dilemmas! Thought it was just me who seemed to have mad moments while ordering Avon (like my 1500 paper bags ordered in error - currently in the shed!) It's really good to know I have somewhere to come to if I have a problem as get demented trying to explain over the phone or wait for an e-mail reply! I'm collecting 25 books tomorrow (campaign 8). Have a lot of regular customers but have been given new territory so going to try that on campaign 9 - I got the watch from HT too and agree it is really nice.

Hi All, How's everyone?? I feel like I'm hardly ever on here now what with work that all I get time to do is pop on and ask questions and never get time to comment on things!
I've been out tonight and collected about 40 brochures back in, got 7 orders worth about £70 so that's not bad... I'm just contemplating trying to get some more brochures out before order deadline.
Something I did find was that because of work I dropped on Sunday and could only pick up today so cats had been out there for 4/5 days - but nearly every single person left theirs out - not as much knocking on doors :j
I've only got two to collect now from round which is the best I've done for collecting. Might try that a bit more next campaign.

Oh - And EllieBee, your hint on putting the order form at the back of the brochure facing out is excellent... saved me soooo much time. THANKYOU!! :dance:

Thought I'd share a hint if your SL/ASM gives you new territory. Not sure how they do it but mine only seemed to offer big roads with quite a few houses on (which is great) but once I'd been down this road I noticed a few cul-de-sacs branching off them. So, I emailed my SL with all their postcodes (you should be able to get these from a Royal Mail site I think) and asked her to see if they were allocated, as I thought it was daft to be doing a big road if all the little ones were getting missed out too. Turned out for me that none of them were allocated so she gave them to me. Not done them yet but I think altogether there's about an extra 70 houses or so... even a couple of orders will be worth it. Plus not as much walking as asking for another road elsewhere

Does anyone know how much the Top to Toe pack is that Avon were selling to us reps over the phone?

I've had two delivered with my C7 order yesterday but can't remember how much they will charge me in C9.

Also, can I deduct returns from my tax return that I need to complete?

Regards

The packs were £15 each.
