    for useful suggestions Elliebee and Lozza1985 have both done really useful posts on tips for your business, if you do a search for both, you will find them.

    Mine are on p4 of this thread if that helps ;)

    ahh get it now, thanks Lozza. So if there was a page of the showergels at £3.50, you would offer them one free, if they placed an order, from that page, as long as you have the stock at 99p.

    yeah, or they could be 99p in the previous brochure so the customer thinks they are getting a bargain getting them free when they are at £3.50 - whereas you can order them from the previous brochure at just 99p.

  • Thanks everyone. Most of my books to be collected tomorrow so fingers crossed and lets see what happens.
    Just one question with regards to C6, I have my 20 free books but I really want to go for this one so am I able to buy more books for this campaign when I put my order in for C5. I'm not being lazy about checking what I can and can't order but I haven't got a 'live' account yet (waiting for ASM to set me up) so can't check for myself. Trying to forward plan.
    Anyone else go to bed thinking about Avon and wake up thinking about Avon? This can't be good for me!

    Yes you will be able to order some more C6 books at a cost of £4.86 for the first 15 and then 48p for each pack of 5 thereafter. You will also need to order C7 brochures when you put your first order in though - which again will be charged at the above prices - so you might not want to order too many, as otherwise you will be out of pocket this campaign. I'd ask your asm if she could provide you with some more as a thank you for doing your first campaign within such a short time frame - no harm in asking! asms can get a £1k bonus for having a certain number of new reps in C5 so she will want to keep you!

  • Bargain searcher, yes you can get extra c6 books when you place c5 order....
    camp brouchures are on a sliding scale though, first 15 (sold in lots of 5) are more expensive.

  • Hi everyone. I have been hanging around here for a few weeks reading this thread from start to finish. Finally took the plunge this week and was signed up by my ASM on Thurs. Feeling excited, nervous and eager to get started, only not this quick! My ASM has given me 20 books for C5 and C6 (nothing else), but orders need to be in by Tues 2nd March. How on earth am I expected to get round everyone and get books back by then. A bit fed up about this and I haven't even got going yet. I have done my best, but think I will have to concentrate on C6 big style. I'll let you know how I get on. Cheers everyone!

    I've just started as well but my orders need to be in by 13th March. How come it's different to yours when I am on C6 as well?

    The whole country is staggered slightly on a different mail plan, running from A to O. I'm mailplan K so quite close to the end, and my C6 order is due in on the 23rd March. Otherwise avon would struggle packing deliveries that needed to go on the same day in the whole of the country.

    Found this on another forum:

    For the last 2 campaigns I have offered a free product from the brochure.

    In C4/3 I gained : 5 new customers - free product - Naturals Room Spray @ 99p
    In C5/4 I gained : 1 new customers plus got 11 regulars who haven't spent in ages to spend between £2.99 and £37 - free product - Senses Shower Gel 250ml @ 99p.

    I usually choose something at 99p from the current brochure or through back order, this will help my sales target as well.

    As the Senses Shower Gel is still 99p in C5 I can back order in C6 and still tempt people in.

    Tried and tested, it actually works.

    I put a sticker on the front of the book saying - for example :

    *FREE*
    AVON CARE HANDCREAM 125ml
    CHOOSE FROM PAGE 112
    ONE PER CUSTOMER ONLY (USUALLY £3.50)

    I also put a flyer inside the book saying the same.

    Will definately be trying this myself soon - I have a huge stash of the sense shower gels in the conservatory, so will wait until they are more than 99p in the books & run this offer to help shift some, and hopefully tempt people to order! :)


    I did something similar for my regulars on the short campaigns... the senses and naturals stuff was all about £1.50 in their books but i was able to backorder it at 99p.... so i put on the slips with their books

    "SPEND £5 OR MORE AND CHOOSE A FREE GIFT FROM THE SENSES OF NATURALS RANGES ON PAGES XXX-XXX"

    loads of people took me up on the offer and the usual £3/4 orderers tended to order something extra to get the gift! :D

    I made the minimum spend £5 as i worked out id get £1.25 commission and each gel etc would cost me 75p so id only make 50p (or 10% commission) on a £5 order.... but if i hadnt put a minimum spend id be losing out majorly!

    (oh and i had to exclude the body yoghurts from the offer as cheapest i could order them from books was £1.50 so would have lost out more)
  • Im quite annoyed with my upline. became a sl in jan and she told me that she would help me with 1st 5 sign ups with books etc, when i asked her again she said well really its as many sign ups in your 1st two camps.

    WELL, Ive just about done my first two camps round about....now but im feeling a bit abandoned. she was there for my first 2 sign ups but couldnt make the others and even then 'borrowed' someof my books as she was short.

    she told me not to worry about putting off a lead if i didnt have books cause she will help if i need her to. Well a few weeks before the end of my second camp i had 3 sign ups to do and asked her if she had any extras or if i should use my own. She said to use mine and she would give me them back...but she hasnt so i havent done my territory as i have none.

    Bottom line is... of 10 sign ups in 2 camps she has provided about 80 books, whereas I ve been left to it and given out about 180 AND lost out on my own.

    Is this normal?? I thought she got reimbursed £5.something each time one of MY reps ordered? is she taking the ****? or am i supposed to be buying extra all the time?
