Avon Hints and Tips (Part 2)

Hello all!
Another lurker here just popping in to say thanks for all the good tips and advice.
Also I received my order this morning and wanted to share my opinion of the new brochure bags. Well I like them! The brochure fits with the sale booklets and order form just nicely. Have popped all mine to go out this week into them and at 80p a good bargain I think. We'll see how long they last but it may save me running around gardens chasing order forms in the winds!
Also would like to add that my order was again perfect, nothing missing, just 1 item out of stock. So please don't worry about your orders you'll only read the negative ones as nobody really posts when everything is fine!
Oh something else I noticed, there are 2 different coin sorter/counters so please be careful. One only counts and the other only sorts. They are 2 different codes so hope people don't order the HT one thinking it's the same as the brochure one. HTH
Ok back to lurking, carry on!0 -

A positive post! Yay!!! :j
I am all to guilty of being negative!
My last delivery only had a couple of items missing which I thought was great compared to the 40+ the time before!:rolleyes:
What is eveyone doing for Breast Cancer Research this month?
I must admit that I have not arranged anything as I am new to the area & live over 100mile from my family, May have a pamper afternoon with SIL's & MIL, won't raise much but must do my bit!
Think I will do a flyer pointing out the items with donations to the charity!Avon C11 £751.22! C12 £722.42! C13 £651.93! C14 £1180.37:j0 -
Hi All
I was wondering has anyone tried going into any local businesses/offices and seeing if you can leave books with the office girls?
Anyone had any successes doing this or any tips?
Thanks very much
...PS - as far as I understand it any commercial property doesn't come under anyone else's territory
Hi WestEdge
this is a good idea, I tried all my local supermarkets and unfortunately, there was someone already leaving an Avon book there for the staff.
But it is definitely worth asking at the reception, or if you know anyone in the business, to take a book in for you. Especially with Christmas coming up, people will want to take advantage of the bargains for Christmas stockings, presents and parties.0 -
I would like to be more positive about Avon, but again they have left things off my order. They are not out of stock, they are just missing and charged for. I think in the 6 months I have been doing this, I have had only one order correct. Maybe I am just unlucky. My box was actually partially open when I received it so maybe some things slipped out. That is the only problem with those boxes, the seal is very easy to break and I can imagine the courier must stack boxes on top of one another, hence the damage to mine.
The one positive thing is I really like the absynthe perfume:TAvon Rep
C8 - £417.09, C9 - £613.14:jC10 - £378.18
C11 - £301.72, C12 - £284.92, C13 - £220.14,
C14 - £194.36, C15 - £300.910 -
Coming around to the bags, They do look professional and that is the feedback ive had from a few people, just worried about if it rains as the bags dont actually seal.
Had a quick smell of the absynthe perfume and loved it. Will have to wear it and see what I think. Dont tend to sell a lot of perfume though. I tend to do best with the cheaper items in the book.
Order came back all ok. Just need to get the money in to pay x0 -
I just wanted to say that my order was all present and correct which is actully quite amazing as I had a mess up on it and had to cancel stuff and re-order stuff....
It wasn't a massive order but still I was pleased not to have to let new customers down ...Starting with Avon C6 target sales £150.000 -
Submitted my C15 order last ight at 7.30pm and a message popped up saying not due yet. Well order was due yesterday. Anyone know why or was it because it was before 10pm. Only time that happened before was when i did it really early due to going on holiday.:female:0

Hi people, been catching up!!
All my things for my order was there, still waiting for my additional order though and it took me no time at all to put my orders together as it was so small!!
I got the Absynthe moneymaker with the little bag - does it also come with mascara and lip gloss? I got them too. Not sure whether to put them in the bag or leave them out as the bag is sealed?
On another note - My C1 delivery in 22 December. I was hoping to be in London by this date, but now think I may have to wait until that evening or the next day and hold people's delivery until I get back BUT I am not planning on coming back until 10 Jan - missing my C2 campaign. I am hitting the big 30 and want to spend it with friends and family down there.
So do I miss C2 completely, don't want to miss C1 and hope my customers can get their delivery on 22 December or they will have to wait!!
Advice welcome please!! xx0 -
Can anyone tell me how I can do my online return slip if I cannot find the product online?0

let your customers know NOW. print a note out to put in the books warning that the last date you can deliver before xmas is..... and wont be able to deliver after until .... so to get their xmas orders in early blah blah blah. that way you have covered your own back and cant be blamed if they dont provide payment and are then left without xmas orders
as for BCA im giving 5% from each order in october to bca and taking donations from customers. might do a raffle but think you need some kind of licence???camp 12=£443 13=£425 14=£277 15=£474 16=£492 17=£438 18=£437 1=£319 2=£153:o 3=£220 :jSALES LEADER:j4=£202 5=£191 6=£167 7=£193 8=£216 9=£211
