Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

Best bet is to ring up avon then, as if it is faulty then they will probably replace it even if it is out of the 90day guarantee x

Thanks! Will ring tomorrow from work as it would cost me so much from my mobile!! Will look up their number on the website now. x

Hi - I smelt the new perfume and I don't like it!! Am going to put some demos into people's packs who like fragrances.

I'm glad someone else doesn't like it! I tried the sample this morning and on me it smells like something that has been in a flower vase for about 2 weeks I'm sure it smells lovely on some people, but it was so foul I had to wash it off :eek:

However.........if my customers ask - it's lovely

Yay!!!! Result! Well done :beer:

hiya im new to this forum but have been doing avon for a few campaigns now.

Firstly when canvassing i knocked on every door, introduced myself and asked if they were interested in avon. also i wrote 'would you like to continue receiving AVON brochures? yes/no' in the 'messages' box on the order forms, that way they could have a look if they were unsure and let me know for next time. if people were out i dropped a book through their door and they could let me know the same way when i went to collect it. saves money on books and time knocking on doors that arent interested. (also i made a note of all the 'lonely men' will come to that later**)


i have printed out slips saying things like 'thanks for your order of x amount, this will be delivered on..... please contact me for any special delivery times' i think you can download them from the avon website anyway. they seem to work. the first time i posted it in an evelope suggesting they put their avon money in the envelope ready...and the majority did

I also made an avon book sized flyer offering a selection of gift bags. the customer can choose how much they want to spend, pick a theme ie bath & body/relaxing...and i choose the contents, put it in a pretty bag and even add a blank card for them to write out themselves. in the card i put a slip listing the contents/what it does etc.
on the opposite side of the flyer is an order form with their name/add, the name/sex of the recepient, the occasion, favourite colour etc so i can use that info to make up a bag that suits that person.

i did the free gift for orders over £20 and that worked quite well, though to start with i had to order more than one clearance item as most of them were out of stock and i couldnt offer a free gift and then say i couldnt get one! so its hit and miss with that one

I have offered out feedback forms with each delivery so the customer can review a product they have purchased. i have added my own review on the correct page so they can see what I thought of that product too and where they can buy it if they like the sound of it etc. i am yet to know how well this works as i only started with this campaign. hopefully though it will let me know more about different products in case customers ask me things and i can also copy the reviews and hand them out too or just make up a 'review' book for me to refer to if needed.

i have a slip which i put in with each book (at the front so u can see it through the bag) saying please leave out on .......... for me to collect, thanks. that seems to do the trick.

for october BCAM i have already made flyers highlighting the avon crusade pages, explaining that a % goes to breast cancer awareness, pre warning of the upcoming customer competition and also that i will personally donate 5% of each order i receive throughout october to BCA. not a money making tip but a good charity idea. along with that ive included an envelope and said if they dont want to order but do want to donate they can either leave it in the envelope or go to (the avon BCAM website) to donate online etc in novemeber i will then add another flyer saying how much WE have raised and congrats etc

soon im going to make a flyer about...dun dun duuuun...christmas. with order + delivery dates from whenever till xmas and say about possible stock issues etc so customers can see how important it is to order early when it comes to AVON + christmas even if it is scary. also for those LONELY MEN** in big letters ill write something like 'BUY THE WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE XMAS PRESENTS FROM AVON, NO NEED TO LEAVE THE HOUSE, NO P&P AND I CAN WRAP THEM FOR YOU!' job done

thats about all the ideas ive used - that i can think of...one question:

HAVE WE DECIDED THE BUMPER BOXES ARE POINTLESS?? WHAT COMES IN THEM? i was thinking about ordering the £30 one and saw earlier someone said it was bad but im on camp 14 so dont know if that makes a difference or not.

HI phia2000 I am starting with Avon in the next few weeks, thanks for all your ideas, you are putting a lot of effort in, hope it is all paying off well for you :T

Re the In Bloom perfume, was hoping that was going to be really nice...out of interest it would be great to hear what all of you consider to be your favourite Avon perfume...and likewise which ones you don't like...

I love treselle and also quite like the tahitian one....I also have a soft spot for soft musk (not for me but a lady my mum delivered avon to about 20 years ago loved it and ordered it in some form from every brochure! it really suited her too....

Just collected another 3 orders totalling just over £50 and I know I have 6 more orders to collect over the weekend + any that my friend got from her work. Order total will be well over £200

Got my delivery this morning, had a little route around in it and found a cosmopolitan make up bag with brushes and sponges and tht in, spent ages going through my invoice trying to figure out why it was there when I knew I didn't order anything cosmopolitan. Right at the bottom in the items supplied with no cost section 'birthday gift' - Isn't that nice I didn't know we got birthday goodies from Avon.

Oh thats lovely yummymummy!
May I ask when your birthday is/was? as mine is in three weeks time.
