as long as the customers that have ordered from book 1 (regardless of which one you order from) still get their gamecards for every £10 they spent? otherwise your creative ordering is making them lose out which isnt fair. most customers probably dont even care about the comp but some might so you never know. just be careful not to screw them over x

Thanks again. Only my original given territory is on my front campaign - everyone else is on my back campaign (keep thinking I should start moving a few up) - so was easy to differentiate who had actually ordered from C1. I kept the cards separate and explained to everyone personally about the scheme. Meant it took a bit longer to do the deliveries but knowing 'my lot' (sometimes samples are still in the bag, even got one of my own Christmas cards returned by accident :rolleyes: because they don't exactly take much notice of what's in the bag) they'd just ignore them.

Deffo don't 'screw' my customers over; if anything I look after them too well. Am forever tweeking their orders so they either pay less or get extra products. Some are really grateful but I get the feeling that others think I'm nuts! :rotfl:

well done on your first campaign merseyblue.

SL's aren't allowed to have their own websites anymore. I think there were problems in the past with SL's own websites, so Avon now provide the website if you are approved, and there is a page that you can modify for yourself, with your details, etc and you are allowed to use this to promote your business.

Is that just for SLs or can we reps use that facility too?

Email customer service through the website and tell them the zip is faulty and if they could send you a replacement and you will send the other one back. They can fix it or bin it.

Thanks, aureol, was wondering about that but wasn't sure i.e. with it being a 'freebie'.

AArrrggghh Waiting for my delivery. Its usually here by 10ish at the latest. Where is it? I've got soooo much to do today. Bet they will blame the snow for the delay. Wondering if I should give Avon a call as online tracking just says it's prepared, usually it says its with the carrier.

My order usually comes the day before Avon say it will but this time it came on the actual day they said. Was also slightly later in the day than usual too. Luckily it wasn't as big an order as usual so I did manage to get it packed up and distributed 70% of it the same day.

Good luck with yours.

I signed up on my SL's own website, he said he didnt use his Avon one as it generated no traffic.

There were quite a few SL's who managed to make their own websites before Avon found problems with this and said we have to use theirs. Maybe he created it before Avon said we had to use theirs or after?

I just read on one of the SL forums that is why Avon make you use theirs.

Whether they have a way of monitoring who is using the Avon address for signs ups I have no idea.
