Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

You are not allowed to have your own website - they've closed down senior execs over it before - you have to have their sales leader website, which is £5 admin fee then £5 per campaign, which works out about £90-95 per year. And it's a really crap website, plus because it's a duplicate website it doesn't get very high on the search engines. The few SL websites still around are in the process of being closed down. Steph, even if they don't have Avon in the title they aren't allowed - and they refuse to approve any more websites through legal.

It's pathetic, and I told them so.

Well I'm most annoyed about that, it wasn't in the small print! I've spent hours doing just a easy simple one through freewebs, just as well I didn't get stuck into creating a proper logo and designing my own website from scratch!

Well you may as well have a look now seeing as it'll all go in the bin anyway... my not quite finished attempt is here www.!!!!!!!!!!!!!/pinzyavon
on submitting it seems MSE site doesn't like the particular free website creator I'm using. If you really want to have a look, you'll have to type it into your address bar, and instead of the exlamation marks it's 'f' 'r' 'e' 'e' 'w' 'e' 'b' 's'.

As for the cost... that's gonna put off quite a few potential sales leaders. I suppose it gives you incentive as your reps have to make at least £170 per campaign just to cover to SL website charge.

Hurrumph.

A price note for you (just been entering up my order!)

Pillow Mist - cheaper by 50p in C16 than C15

Still working on any others!

Well maybe it'll give the rest of us a chance against Debbie Davies!

Ordering question: is there a special area on the website to order HT stuff? (i.e. BG007 moneymakers) or do I just put the code in the normal ordering place?

Elliebee_2 · 8 October 2008 at 11:52AM

It just goes in the normal place, and any bonus bags etc are usually included on the same code.

I'm up to 2 free handbags & counting (I can feel some prize draws coming on!). How is everyone else doing?

Just tried to order some money maker BG007 but the website is telling me it's not available to representatives. Hey ho, I'm sure there'll be others.

Elliebee_2 · 8 October 2008 at 2:33PM

Pinzy - I'm only a humble rep, and ordered mine in C15 (so you should be able to order it in C16 as well)!!!

Pinzy · 8 October 2008 at 2:58PM

Maybe reps aren't allowed to backorder from HT? I'll check with my AM when she comes over tomorrow.

Another oddity... I'm adding more orders, but I've got 2 lines of "Show Saved Orders"
One says Saved products for L, and the other says Saved products for Lynsey

Is this normal?

Hi everyone, my asm came this morning to get me all set up again. So much seems to have changed. Left me a bit bamboozled tbh as she went through it really quickly. Shes also left me a load of c16 and c17 to hand out. Got a short list of people i can hand them out to but no teritory has been allocated to me yet as most of my area seems to be already taken. Handing a few out to freinds and family over next few days (one friend is taking a few to school for me too), but then cant really do much else till i'm allocated my teritory. Where does everyone else hand there's out? I'm not a gym gooer, or go to many toddler groups. Getting stuck for ideas already.
