What camp are you on? My C10 was disappointing, think people are saving to go on holiday. I am trying new things to entice people, but am starting to think they either want to buy or they don't. I lost money this camp, not really made much since I started doing it.

Will be submitting C11 tomorrow. Alot of people have said "I'm cutting back so can't afford to buy anything" I find it very hard to believe that. My sister is a single parent on a tight budget and she always buys - infact saves by buying products from avon compared to elsewhere. I've found bath and shower products go a lot further than cheap ones and make up can work out alot cheaper. Think your right - people either want to buy or they dont

Some people also think that if toiletries are in their weekly shop they can afford it, rather than buy cheaper from Avon, also people can probably get a bit carried away and end up ordering loads, like me!!

i hope im okay to post this, but i used to do avon and bought a sample success pack for £25, as i no longer do it i wondered if anybody here would like to buy the rest of the pack for £5. It still has a lot of samples left and i do have a picture.

Sorry if this is not allowed.

My problem is my territory is all flats. I've tried just dropping the book through the door, but everyone thinks the book is for someone else (someone actually posted it through my door cause they seen my address and thought it was for me!). And I've tried ringing buzzers to ask people if they want it, but I think the kneejerk reaction is to say no. It's very frustrating. Cause they -could- be saving so much more...

And the only reason I've got such a high order just now is because my mum went a little crazy and ordered everything she could find. I think she's stocking up for christmas. I have an expected order yet from a regular customer who usually spends over £20, a possible order from a neighbour (will need to wait till saturday at least for hers though) and two people who I'm seeing today to take them their goodies from last camp. Hoping they'll reorder. Other than that, I'm planning on doing a bit more of my territory, hope that'll work...:o

I have notices that you all quote your campaign totals on the bottom of your posts..does that total include ht products samples and books or is it just customer sales? i cant work out if i am doing badly or not, very confusing i think

For me, thats just all my customer orders. Yeah, I think it would be a bit unfair to quote how much I spend myself or how much a spend on HT stuff that would be waaaay too much then

Oh I put the total of everything as that's what Avon takes into account (I think) when meeting my target over 3 camps, and for President's Club etc. Please correct me if I'm wrong...
