Yes, but not towards President's Club - to stop people qualifying for PC by ordering loads of stuff that they know they'll never have to pay for.

Two more orders, one for nearly £45!! Two women want me to come back tomorrow. So far my orders total £133.15 but after the free gifts and half the brochure money for this Camp plus brochures for next camp I probably won't make any money, but you have to speculate to accumulate huh?
Do people offer free gifts for every camp? Am thinking I won't in the next one, maybe every couple of camps to keep people interested?

Lyndsey I am not offering a free gift next campaign as I think the watch is a good enough incentive for people to buy at least £15.00 worth of stuff. You have done really well, you have much less houses than I do, you must have a good lot of people that really like Avon! Have you decided what you are getting for free gifts for people? I think I will still make money this campaign, even though I probably have to buy some more cats for my next campaign. My SL only gave me 20 and it isn't enough, I will be going back and forth every 2nd day at this rate and that's assuming that everyone gives me back the cats (never gonna happen)

So I decided to put out another 16 cats when I got home from work, I initially planned to leave the other side until next campaign, but there are 16 houses in a section of their own in my territory, so I thought I might as well give them a go on this campaign. I will collect them on Wednesday and hope I get some orders. I am going past the hairdressers on Thursday and the local shop on Friday (order day) as the shop assistant wrote 1st of May on the order form.

Good luck Mez on collecting your cats, hope you get loads of orders!

lozza, as if! She honestly thought she would be able to pick a £20.00 cream for free? Trying it on me thinks, I think it's pretty clear in the cat what you get free...

Elliebee so if I were to order something that was out of stock, it would still count towards my order total? Do Avon send it once it is in stock though?

echo, thanks for that, it does sound worth it, I am eager to try some of the foundation samples myself as I want to order a foundation on Friday.

I have just realised how close I am to HOV!! My sis had better orderfrom this camp!!
I am putting the orders in to get used to the system and put some codes in from HT10, clearance items as free g ifts, but it comes up as items from Camp 8 - will I get it at the price it's in HT10? There are no prices on the order forms online so not sure what I am being charged

Another question. One customer has ordered on C8 2 packs of feminine wipes, pg 130 priced at £1.50 each. When I have gone to put it online it said it cannot be ordered on this campaign?? I will check I put the right code in first...

lyndsey80

Should have checked first! Wrong order number put in - still learning!

I have a question regarding what I should order as free gifts. I have 2 women that have ordered the facial filler so they are entitled to a free gift. They are both 50+ so wondered what you guys thought might be suitable for them?

I noticed just now in C7 that I can get Age Defying Overnight Corrective Hand Treatment for £3.00, BOGOF. Would it be rude to add this in as their free gift, I mean they did order anti ageing products and this is a pretty good deal and it would only be costing me £1.50 per customer...

I've got things like body lotion, one woman ordered 2 nail varnishes so I for the 4-in-1 nail buffer, and another woman ordered a pedicure set so I got them some foot lotion. Have no idea how old they are though.

Summer-Caitlin

See that's the sort of thing I was going to do, but these two women have ordered the facial serum so I am at a bit of loss to see what to get them.

As for the hand cream, I noticed it is £1.50 in C8 so don't want to get that as they will think it was only £1.50 instead of the regular £3.00:rotfl:

What about the 2 in 1 foot smoothing scrub and soak, demo price of £1.40, but will normally be £4.00? Or there is the footworks pedi-brasion scrub for £1.00, that looks pretty good. I want the winter spice scrub and moisturiser for myself!

lyndsey80

Do people order the paper bags and the other bags? Not sure how much I should order, or if I should bother?
Also, I got given 40 cats to start with, should I order 40 C9's for this order also - how much will that come up to?
