can anyone give me any ideas - i made a mistake & forgot to pick up a brochure - of course it had an order in. (i've already sent through my reg camp 9 order)
Value is £8.50 but my regular order is already prepared & avon say they can't add to it.
So, do I bite the bullet & pay £2.50 ? I thought I might order off regular avon website but delivery is £3.95 - anyone got any free delivery codes or any other idea's as to how to get round the delivery charge ?
Thanks !

Maybe as worth well saying either ( if it is a single item or two ) that it is currently out of stock but it will be delviered in 3wks and skip that customer for the next campaign. Or be honest with her and offer her a freebie until the order arrives.
I wouldn't put in the additional order for just £8.50

Thanks Karen

I take it our targets will be individual? I am worried that because I have acheived my HOV both times, that they may set mine really high, like impossibly high!

I don't think they will be majorly high mainly due to the fact
it is vouchers and a prize draw
the vouchers are subject to condition which means they will only accept them at certain times of year so Avon wouldn't have paid anything for the vouchers it will be the companies making the gesture.

Could be wrong but I don't think they could have silly amounts with those offers.

Re the Post Office charge, I seem to remember seeing on my paperwork somewhere that you just need to pay 50p extra when you pay your bill over the counter, ie if it's £251.50, then you pay £252.

I'm glad the targets (whatever they are ) are on 10, 11 & 12 as 13 was total rubbish last year - August, right in the middle of the Summer holidays. I seem to remember that I just got to HOV and everyone was complaining about poor sales.

I still need to work out what I am doing about Aug/Sep order. I am away from 28 Aug - Sep 6th so I am unsure whehter I will skip that campaign or not. I am hoping by then I may have whittle down my territory even more and may just do a blanket drop of all customers that have ordered in the past. Need to look and see when my order date is for that campaign.

Am I right in thinking you guys deliver the cats to people who haven't ordered. When orders arrive, you then go out again and deliver the order and give those people their cat then?

It's all new and I'm trying to find the best way of doing things.

echo

it says it on the paper invoice but one assumes that the 50p has to be paid to the post office-and that's when things become unstuck cos they don't ask you for 50p when you pay the invoice-maybe i was being thick at not understanding it properly

That's right - I start my new campaign on the Monday before my Wednesday delivery, delivering books to the people who haven't ordered. For anyone who has ordered I put a 'B' against their name in the relevant column of the calling book just to remind me not to deliver a book. All those who have ordered get the next book (either the current or back order one as appropriate) with their order.

Echo - no, not you! It's just confusing

Thanks for that.
May get my step-son working for his pocket money as he's staying with us this week

That's a good idea, start canvassing on the Mon - my order comes tomorrow so I might just put some cats out tonight. When you run 2 camps do you do say C10 Mon, C9 Tue, then collect Wed & Thur or do you try and get as many out as possible in 1 day/evening?
I just got this message!!!
