How is everyone's C15 going? Mine = terrible!! But I do have a load of cats out there at the moment, and regulars who aren't ordering are getting into the habit of not returning my books!! Best customer has gone on hols now and said she would post it through my door, but didn't!! Going to get as many back as I can tomorrow for 1 final road. Really have to get them out tomorrow to collect Tuesday as I have just got into work this morning and discovered that I am working Thursday night until 11pm!! So have to get everyone's orders in and hopefully order Wednesday night.
Hi Lyndsey,
Ive only just put my C15's out - been sat here a week but I prefer to put them out when I deliver, like to have an AVON free week!
Its a pain when regulars dont give books back, I loose loads, I dont mind nipping back once for it but then I write it off, otherwise I would spend forever trying to get the odd one!
Good luck with your last road, Hope you manage to cover them all!Avon C11 £751.22! C12 £722.42! C13 £651.93! C14 £1180.37:j0 -
ah thanks Kelly. Yes, I have 4 orders for flip flops, 1 bag, 3 sets of brochures. But it is the sorting and batching up that takes time isn't it.
God yeah, yesterdays delivery was the biggest one I have had, I managed to mix up a couple of mascara's as well which added more time on trying to sort!
Plus my little girl likes to help to at 18mths she just mixes them all up! Bless!
Still have 8 boxes of orders bagged ready to go in my lounge, never catch anyone in on a Saturday afternoon!
It wont be as bad as you think, buy a multipack of choc that will get you through!:DAvon C11 £751.22! C12 £722.42! C13 £651.93! C14 £1180.37:j0 -
ah bless your little girl. My little man is 22 months and everything I have packed ready for distribution, gets taken out of the bags, put in other bags, taken to his toy area.... lol.
And talking about chocolate! I went to do my last delivery today, I know! It was for a friend, just one item and she kept putting off collecting it, and with my delivery next week, it was enough is enough, I am coming to deliver to you. She waned to collect it so she could see my son.
Anyway I digress, I bought a bar of chocolate to eat on the bus, took one bite, my son looked, his eyes lit up, big grin, hand out... gone was my chocolate.0 -

Damn the kids - they know how to win the choc off us!
I have a little boy of 3, last week I heard him playing 'AVON'! He knocked to the bedroom door & shouted to his older brother 'AVON, I've got an order for you!' & carried on like this for about 5min pretending he had catalogues & stuff! It was so funny - He cracks me up!:rotfl:
Think I might have to start taking him round with me, his cuteness might increase orders!;)Avon C11 £751.22! C12 £722.42! C13 £651.93! C14 £1180.37:j0 -
oh your children are too cute! I take my DS with me when delivering books and orders and collecting.
People have started referring to me as the Avon lady, "here comes the Avon lady" and I think it doesn't hurt to have a cute child with you, they realise you are a working mum, and they probably order a little more....0 -
What is everyone's system for delivering orders and dropping off new brochures around the same time?
I am getting myself in a bit of a flap about it and don't want to confuse myself!!0 -
I slip a new book in with their order so's not to confuse myself as people are different books. I figured this one out the other campaign as i just gave people the new book regardless of which campagin they were on lol.Avon Rep since June 09

I keep 2 calling books as I have split my area into 2 rounds & run them on different campaigns.
At 1st I would deliver the orders & then deliver books as I did each street.
On my last campaign I put the book in with the delivery, I found this way I got more customers placing a 2nd order.
Once they were all colected in I then covered the rest of my territory.
Doing it this way meant I managed to put in less work, think I had about 2wks without doing much work! Also had my best campaign ever!:j
It has took a few months to find my feet but this is how I make it work for me - Hope you find what suits you best!Avon C11 £751.22! C12 £722.42! C13 £651.93! C14 £1180.37:j0 -
Winsones, with my regular customers, when I drop off their order, I give the the new book. They get very excited and ask if I have a new book for them to look at..lol. And most do place an order.
Then with my territory, I go round in a rota, the first street gets (excluding regulars) a book, and the next street, etc, and if I run out of books, the rest of territory gets previous book. But I keep a record of which street has which book, so the next campaign, put the street with a back book on the next book, so some streets are always a campaign behind.
Hope this helps.0 -
