Avon Hints and Tips (Part 3)

Yes - absolutely everything counts towards MOV, brochures, anything out of HT, though you won't get a discount of any of those items. The only thing that doesn't count towards MOV is your £7.50 admin charge.

You've done remarkably well considering the short amount of time you've had!

Was hoping one woman was gonna order though because she orders like £100 worth of stuff every single campaign.. but she didn't answer the door to me earlier.. so will have to go tomorrow.. because i'm not missing something like that :P lol.

Gotta share, coz I'm just a tiny bit excited (....yes, I know my life is sad, LOL!)....

Just placed my very first order as an Avon Rep!! Woo-hoo!!

Even sadder, I'm looking forward to Friday when my order should arrive and I can unpack it all and sort it into 'orders'.

Thanks to everyone on here for all the advice, tips and answers to my (many) questions.

My road allocation problem seems to be sorted now, so onwards and upwards!!

Well if you are sad then so am I. I only started canvassing yesterday and was well excited when I got my first order today - £21!!

Just received my first order however can't unpack the boxes until naptime as I don't think my 2 year old will be as helpful as he thinks he is!!!

Out of interest, has anyone seen or used one of the baby change bags in C5? One of my friends asked me if I'd actually seen one but I haven't. Anyone know if they're any good?

Someone was asking about the Avon branded folder etc. Well - got mine today and I'm fairly impressed.

The folder is 18-pocket with a clasp & handle. The quality is excellent for £2, although whether it is big enough to store 18 campaigns of customer orders, I'm not sure.

The pens are in 5 different colourways with blue ink - again excellent value for 20p each, they write smoothly and would make good customer gifts.

The purse is only cheap nylon and plastic (but what would you expect for that price ) but is well thought out, with 2 zip pockets and a wallet section in the middle. The popper is very hard to undo, and I think it may well pull out of the fabric after a while, but if so, it will go back All in all, seems good value.....not used it yet, so the jury is out on practicallity.

Hi Bex - what fragrance cards are you using?

I'm going to make my own. I make cards, so I have a huge pile of card that I use for rubber stamping. The stuff that I think would be suitable is The Range's own white card. It soaks up my watercolour pens, so I'm figuring it should soak up the perfume/EDT. I'm going to whip together a quick template on Word, and then slice them up using my guillotine! Drop a few drops of perfume/EDT onto them and pop them into the bags!

Well...that's the idea anyway!! Hee hee!

I decided to get my A into G and deliver my 1st lot of C5s today. I figured that if I wait until I've got my C4 order (delivery Friday), bagged it up and delivered it, I'm only going to have a couple of weeks before C5 order is due (have to order by 1st March). Think I made a slight boo-boo though! I was careful not to deliver any of the C5s to those who have ordered from C4 (will pop a C5 in with their order when I deliver). But I think I've either dropped 2 into the same house (oops!) or dropped one into a C4 customers house!! Bum! Wouldn't be too bad, but for her C4 order she ordered stuff that's cheaper in C5. Poo!

Oh well, I'm sure there are loads more mistakes that will occur, LOL!

Planning on doing the same thing myself! Will be ordering some of the new Bali Bliss fragrance, probably the body mist version as its pretty cheap, and then it won't cost much to do enough samples for all mine, OH & MIL's customers.
