Hi, I was going to order some perfume samples to encourage sales, does anyone have some recommendations as to what sells well, there are so many to choose from.

I actually put a flyer in with the brochures allowing people to choose up to 3 that they'd like to try - I can forward it to you if you give me your email

Summer - if I want credits to come off my current bill, then I just deduct it before I pay. You'll find that your account shows zero afterwards. If you're not sure of the exact amount, then just give Avon a ring and ask how much you need to pay.

You've then got around 5 weeks to return the goods (either of the next 2 campaigns). Not having the brochure boxes will make it a little more difficult though :think:

Make sure you always keep your signed returns form in case of a returned item being re-charged.

Elliebee - So I can pay my invoice, which is £320.46 minus my returns? I am going to pay my invoice on Wednesday (order day is Friday). I have loads of smallish boxes that I could use to return things (buy on the internet a lot), seems silly to use a huge Avon box for about 6 returns!

Yes, it does work as an insect repellent

This is what my ASM sent me ...



Code is 25742, £2.50 in C8 page 120, £3 in C9 page 116. Hope that helps xx

Thanks Melvis
You are a star xxx
Will copy that and print it out as a flyer
might work well considering we live in Scotland and the highland midge is deadly :rotfl:

Hi

I was just hoping someone might be able to help me with a question, i have emailed my temp area manager a few days ago but as yet no answer:rolleyes:

I would like to know how the 'Your Earnings' on each statement is worked out. I am getting really frustrated as i seem to be earning less and less! My earnings this month say they should be £91.81 but it seems in reality i have earnt aprox £20 I have double checked everything on the statement and on customers orders. Oh and i have only ordered £15.12 of bags and books

What is going on with this? i have NEVER earnt what it states in the earnings bit but just lately its getting worse!:(

Please help!

Sorry I can't work it out either
The way I do it is Add up your total customer orders
for instance
1 = £20.50
2 = £36.70
3 = £6.00
4 = £51.20
5 = £37.00
6 = £40.90
Total Customers order = £192.30
Your bill ( books samples, bags etc ) = £20.00
Avon to be paid = £164.23
Which means you have earned = £28.07

(these numbers might not be exact 25%, but will give you an idea or how to work out what you have earned )

Yep - that's about it!

You can use a stout envelope to return the smaller items, and even (I'm told) a carrier bag, provided that your returns barcode is on it.

I'd thought about doing that SSS list as a flyer, but I think I'll put some sort of disclaimer in case of mishaps; something like:

Please note: I haven't had the opportunity to try all these uses, so I suggest that you test on a hidden area first

I have to say, I'm a bit wary of the last one - I thought you had to be a bit careful what oil you used in an oil burner? Anyone know?

My SL just got back to me and she has allocated me another 118 houses:j. I have obviously whittled down the houses I initially got but that is still a huge increase in potential customers. I won't start them properly until next campaign as I only have 8 days left, although may try a few on C8 before I dispose of them next week. The two areas aren't far from me so not too much of a trek either.

I am excited to get some new areas, one area I have been given is completely brand new flats, sop not sure how I would get on with them, just hope there are no problems getting into them:rolleyes:

with Fathers day coming up I am plugging the new Patrick Dempsey this campaign and Ungaro for him.
Best sellers for me has been Little Black Dress, Faraway, Fire me Up
and Little White dress recently.
I would do a special if you have a large territory
buy samples of one perfume per campaign
and promote it with a buy this campaign and get 10% off ( still gives you 15% commission )

If you offer it on a perfume which was sold for less in the previous campaign you can pocket even more
Like Little Black Dress this campaign it is £12 (so with thier 10% = £10.80)
but campaign 8 it was £7 so
each bottles you make £3.80 plus commision of £1.25 = £5.05
so can be a health profit
5 bottles customers pay £54.00
You pay avon £26.25
You have earned £27.75 :T

God yes
I will only be adding a few of these to the flyer
don't fancy mentioning about the dog etc :L
but like using it for interior of the car etc is a good idea :T

Yip, a black Avon bag turned inside out and taped up is what my SL told me to use for returns cheaper than an envelope :rotfl:
