    hi, does anyone know if avon provide a template for advertising in shop windows, ie newsagents? or do you just make your own up? if so, does anyone have an effective one I could use as a template please?

    No they dont, you need to make your own.

    I just giving viata print a whorl, they sent me an email offering me loads of free stuff - i just need to pay P&P which is cheap if you choose the longest option.

    They do 100 small postcards free and it costs About £4 delivery but they look a lot more proffesional than my printer could ever make them look, and cheaper too especially with the cost of printer ink.
    :TIs thankful to those who have shared their :T

    Ive used vista print before (not for avon but other business) and the postcards are very good, business cards too. And strangely - the postage can sometime work out cheaper if you order more items.

    Hi everyone,

    Well I've just prepped my C10 online order. Doesn't have to be in until Thursday and I've still got 99 cats out there to pick up on Tuesday, so hoping for more orders yet.

    Have decided not to stress about the PC target as I've just realised that I'm sending back £13 worth of goods this time which takes this sales target up to £838 for two campaigns. I'm currently on £190 for C10 but with creative ordering from C9 and also the mini brochure this total will reduce. Obviously this will mean more actual money in my pocket but will count less towards my sales target. Not that bothered about cheaper cats as I only order 40 anyway.

    Honestly don't think I'm going to hit the C10.11.12 target of £1007 either. It's so high! Think that some of my clients will be on hols for C12 as it's July/August delivery which makes it even worse.

    Hope everyone else is doing okay.

    Coxy

    Typical, ive just sorted through my delivery.
    Why is it that whenever i personnaly want something it never gets delivered.
    I absolutely love the techniques hairspray - its the best ever and i ordered 2 bottles to take on my holiday and it hasnt arrived. Saying its OOS and willbe delivered when they get more in stock. But NO mention of when that will be.

    I love the oasis watch though - well worth the £5.

    I think my target for C10,11,12 is £500 which isnt too bad, thats only £166 per campaign - easily achieved i think.

    Im still collecting some C9's - gonna start on C10 the middle of next week.

    Got my delivery on Thursday, now need to deliver to customers but it's raining and I am not feeling too well (had a fever last night)! Ordered too many things for myself :rolleyes:so am in deficit this time - I think I will send a few things back (but not the watch nor the flip flops!). :o

    My target for C10/11/12 is £500 as for all newbies on here, and already have over £450 in orders for C10 - that is before my regulars have even seen the catalogue! Still have two weeks to go and hoping for a really good order. Am trying very hard to not order anything for myself this time but don't know if I will be able to resist. I don't really need anything but there are always irresistible offers... :rolleyes:

    Hi
    I want to do this aswell, need to make more money as my sales havent been as good as i wanted so thought this would be a great place to start.

    I emailed my SL and she sent me some examples of what to do (think she may of got them from Avon rather then making it up herself) but can send them to you if you like?

    They include a short script to start with,then some easy ice breaker games. She also said about ordering in loads of samples and demo products for the customers to try.
    I would be doing this at others houses, so will use an incentive like 20% off their order plus 5% commision off all orders.
    On a separate thread, someone mentioned that they do manicures as part of it, but charge extra to make more money, which i thought was a great idea!!

    I will be starting mine soon, so will let you know how they go... if i get any people wanting to do them lol!!

    becca x

    Could you possibly sent me a copy of the script as well.
    Hope your party goes well

    Hi Guys - I'm just prepping my order online (I don't have to order for a while yet but its my first time so am going to save it on there :))

    I have to order Extra firming face cream from Cat 10 but on my order it is coming up as Ultra Colour Rich Mousse Lipstick-Metallic Pink.

    Please help?!

    Update - All is well, once I added a product in the same deal it changed itself!

    I got an email from avon about that - don't worry about it apparently it comes up with the lipstick but you will definetly get the face cream - must be some sort of clerical error.

    They were in HT9 (pg 25) to appear in C11 - I've back-ordered them for my C10 after hearing loads of recommendations for them ;)

    ETA: Sorry just twigged you're a customer not a Rep - we get a special preview magazine you see. You'll be able to order them from the next brochure in a few weeks time.

    Oh right...I was going on about them to my rep and she looked at me like I was a loony! She obviously hasnt read her special preview magazine properly!! Can you tell me how much they are? Im really debating doing Avon myself but dont want to tread on her toes and think it would annoy her as she is a friend who I buy from.
