    Hi :o

    One of my customers is looking for ring clips to make rings that are too big fit her fingers, any ideas?

    Thanks xx

    I know what she means - a tiny tube which fits over the back of the ring - don't ever remember seeing them in Avon though :(

    I have seen them in Betterware, but not in Avon. Perhaps you could source it for her in Betterware then try and create a relationship with the rep and you may be able to get some sales from her?
  • I'm about to do a re-canvass with an expired brochure and hit on the idea of putting one of the Bond Girl perfume promo cards (left over from last year) in each. The book isn't going in a bag, so hopefully it will fall open as it's picked up and they might at least be intrigued enough to look at it, or just fall in love with the perfume ;)
    As to the note i'm putting on the front 'I have an app for that!' :D so if anyone wants to share then just pm me your email addy and I'll be happy to pass it on. (Also have 'free stuff' for c16 if you want that as well)

    I got an order from an old lady today :)

    When I got home she'd put the money in an envelope tucked into the catalogue! I was so shocked, that's extremely trusting of her, considering this is the first time I've ever canvassed and she doesn't know me! It was £29 as well, not just a few quid!
  • i have an order of £400 but some of the stuff are out of sale book and two of the penguin xmas countdowns will i still get £100 commision or will it be less?
    also how do i put my avon thing at the bottom showing how much sales ive had?thank you
  • Messed up my deliveries!!! Just had a call from a regular who says she didnt recieve the perfume she ordered along with everything else.I know she wouldnt lie about it. I remember seeing it when i was going through the delivery so must have given it to another customer. Darn it. I feel really bad now, but she was really nice about it bless. I will definetly be taking alot more care when packing away the orders lol.

    Hi Andrea

    What I would do is put all the orders on line, save them and then click on see subtotal at the bottom of the order form page. This will show you an estimated discount.

    To edit your signature - put sales at bottom, click on quick links, and Edit Signature.

    Ladies, this might be a good way to get new customers.

    I just realised that my local St Luke's Hospice are having a fund raiser on Saturday, it is a family fun day but I think if I had asked when I first saw the ad asking for volunteers, I could have asked to do an Avon stall.

    I can't make this sat anyway as in laws are coming but my SL does this all the time.

    Any local fairs, fetes, churchroof fundraisers, etc. She buys a stand or pays for a stand and orders stuff from avon for before the day. She then does a display of products, and puts out the current brochure and order forms. As people can look at the products up close and feel and ask questions, she picks up new orders.

    Another one to think about with christmas coming up.

    Lindsey80 I have just noticed in my C17 brochure that I was flicking throuhg, there is an offer that if customers spend a certain amount on make up on several pages, they will get a free mascara and a £5 voucher to use against make up - this voucher is to be used in C2! Just thought I would mention it so you can perhaps get a few of these books for any customers that get a voucher and then you could order on your C3 one I guess....

    Loved the muddy boots idea :rotfl:

    Thanks 69chick. I will need to order some C2 as I have territory on 2 books, I'll order some with my C3 cats (am getting confused but am sure it will make sense once I do it!) and put C2 in with C3's for people that have a voucher. My head hurts!! LOL! x
