Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

Haven't quite managed to reach my £400 target like I'd hoped, unless MIL decides to add to her order that is lol! Still pleased though, I'm very hopeful for C9 as I think the watch looks lovely and will encourage people to spend a little more. Mentioned it to my sister on Wednesday and she said o yes I saw that on the tv! Haven't seen the advert myself but sounds good!

Well I just submitted my C8 order, it took ages. about 2 hours of going through the cats for creative ordering, will start well in advance next time!

I keep thinking I forgot something! I think it is really sly that they charge you per campaign for the cats. I noticed when I went to subtotal that I was charged per campaign, i.e. I bought another 5 packs of C9 cats and I bought 8 packs of C10, I thought that additional packs would be cheaper so I went to buy 2 packs of C11, but noticed I was being charged £4.22 or something like that for them. So it's only the first 3 packs of each campaign then it goes to 48p per campaign, does that make sense?



I don't even know how much it has come to. It came up total cost and my earnings, but I didn't really understand it. I also noticed some items were out of stock, but nothing major. I don't really know how much I need to pay Avon I guess I will know more once I see the invoice.

Still a bit worried though as I just have this nagging suspicion I have forgotten something, guess it's the OCD in me:rotfl:I sear I triple checked everything.

Yeh it is a pain with the books, when I got extra territory a couple of campaigns in my OH was like we'll order some extra books - I was adamant that we weren't going to cos we'd be paying loads for them and it wouldn't be worth it! I got my way in the end

It will show up on Avon how much you owe them, normally a day after submitting I think - it shows up on the homepage when you login. Very easy to pay online to.

Have you ordered yourself lots of nice things? I'm definately getting some suncream in the 3 for £10 ready for hols, some face creams from HT (the 3 for £4.50), shampoo, a concealer that I've managed to get a bit cheaper with creative ordering.......will probably have to stop at that before OH notices lol!

I ordered myself a bit too much if I'm honest, I will have to wait until I get the invoice before I figure out how much I spent on myself. I didn't get any money at all this time as I was running out of loads of cosmetics so just bought through Avon.

However I am still going to take the commission I should have earned and put it in a savings account. I still would have had to buy the cosmetics anyway so I don't really see that as extra. Will even add the commission that I earned from my own order:rotfl:

lozza1985

Lol your savings will definately be growing then! I keep finding so many bits that I need, I don't wear very much make-up but have been getting all my toiletries from Avon (and some shower gel for OH) as they are so nice and so very cheap if you buy them when they are on offer with our discount on top!

Well I just came back from collecting in the stragglers and my total is now up to £273!!! That note that Elliebee kindly gave me worked wonders and most people left the catalogues out as requested. I got almost £100 worth of orders tonight!! I still have to go to the hairdresser to pick up one order and go past Au Naturale to see if they have any orders. I am really happy with my total. I have a few things that I want to order myself and I think it's going to take me a while to creative order, so I am giving myself plenty of time.

That's a great total! Congrats! Was that your final total? It's brill for your first time, especially with not covering all of your territory - you should do even better on the next campaign!

Someone's booked an Avon party June 6th so guess I'm not quitting just yet :rotfl::rotfl: xx

You've convinced me - I will put some cats out even if I am away for the weekend.
Went to the docs about my knee and he can't find anything wrong with it, said I probably strained it when doing some exercises, so can't go on the cross trainer so that means I will have to walk round and do as many cats as I can until I don't have any left to help me exercise!

Summer-Caitlin

My final total was £313.00, and I added um.... about £100 of stuff for myself:rotfl:and that doesn't include cats or stuff like that, this was just stuff I wanted!!! I bought my foundation, pressed and loose powder, mascara, glimmerstix eyeliner, lip gloss, shimmer brick, nail varnish, magix, shower gels, perfume, body sprays, jewellery, footworks pack (4 for £4), linen sprays, pedi pads, eyeshadow, anew lip balm, anew glossy lipstick, gradual tan, antler bag and obviously more as I added up the stuff on my order form and it was just over £100, obviously I get 25% off but I can't believe how quickly it mounted up!

I shouldn't have to buy much more in the way of make up next time though and this does include the free gifts for people that spent over £20 (7 people) and the footworks pack I bought 2 of and I am keeping some for gifts. I bought quite a lot of linen sprays. I am probably out about £20 to Avon, this order has completely eaten my commission, but I am still going to seperate it as I maybe wouldn't have bought so much normally but I definitely needed a lot of it. Got myself the necklace from C7 and a beauty bag from C8. Ordered the starter kit too.

I will have to buy £10 worth of make up next time to get the watch though, I will need liquid eyeliner by then and no doubt a few more things will catch my eye. I am limiting myself to £15 in the normal cat and I will allow more stuff from HT, someone better hold me down when ordering as I don't want to buy the same amount next time, otherwise I will end up with no money again:rotfl:I want a clear profit next time.

So when do I start putting out cats again, do I start from tomorrow?

Yes, each 20 brochure pack is classed as one box so you've got 30 "boxes" just with your brochures xx
