Avon Hints and Tips (Part 3)

Brown_suga

Hi guys... just a quick question, I'm usually more of a lurker than poster on this thread .

On the C17 invoice I seem to have an 'absynthe voucher' included with the order at no cost section...is this the make up £5.00 voucher?? How else would I know how many were received as I didn't keep a record :cool:

Hi

I don't think you are allowed to do every other campaign, its in the contract, sorry

Hi Phia2000 and Aureol...

Its 'AVON Building the Worlds Premier Company for Women' by Laura Klepacki. No idea where my daughter got it from. Basically the story of Avon from beg to 2005.

Thinking of doing alternate camps as finding it difficult to drop and deliver (circumstances at present). Started with C18, done C1, not C2 (ordered a shampoo myself only), doing C3. Have 8 territory customers (5 mins drive away) and 8 f+f. This should mean HOV and creative ordering for half the time it would take to do every one with alternate camps. Anyone else do this?

:undecided

Sorry to change the subject but this really T's me off...... Have mentioned in the past how much as I enjoy doing Avon most of the time, however, I reeeeeallllly loathe it when Avon rip their agents off! :mad: Just come across YET ANOTHER INSTANCE..... :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Am in the process of inputting my C3 order and went to check the online offers to find that a product readily available to our customers a few weeks ago for 99p (nett 74p to us) is now being offered as an online offer to agents only for £2.50!!!!!! Which banana boat do they think we came on??????????

SHAME ON YOU AVON!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

PS: That reminds me, the agents vanity bag they sent me, which was faulty has also been conveniently 'forgotten'. (Top of my hit list tomorrow to follow up)

Think SLs generally 'ease' such things through..... I mentioned to mine (before being signed up) that I may have to miss a few campaigns; wasn't a problem. Horses for courses and all that.

are we allowed to enter into the win your mortgage thing? my other half (honestly) ordered some bits during that comp and also i have extra cards from other peoples orders etc. so we went online to enter them. said to choose 4 prizes and that was it. the 4 prizes were listed so clicked on one and nothing happened. went back to the terms and conditions page and it says you need to print them off!!! duh! LOL so seeing as i had already gone off the page they are long gone now...and of course you can re-enter the codes! REALLY SHOULD BE MORE CLEAR!

Pretty sure that's a definite No No - can't remember the terminology but something along the lines of no reps/agents or family members/relatives..... Exact T&C's are on the website.

Got to say that if my customers are anything to go by then the mortgage competition has just totally passed them over. I made the point of explaining to every single qualifying customer what the competition was all about and personally handed to them their qualifying half/tickets..... Guess coming up to Christmas no-one has either the time or head-space to take it in (or maybe they're just not interested?) Even though I expressed the importance of not checking the nos until they got their second qualifying half, some tickets were still in the books when I went back to collect them with their next orders.... (And two of my best customers, who to date have ordered every single campaign, failed to put an order in for C2.... )

Makes you wonder sometimes, eh? Have decided that with all my extras I'll enter my best customers (without their knowledge) and then just present them with any prizes they may win.

Hi Guys, just parcelled up my parcel within a parcel and found I'd put my copy not the drivers returns form in for one of the parcels inside! Had to redo.. Have taped both barcode returns things on top of parcel ie..
one box containing two parcels
two returns form attached to parcels inside
two barcodes on outside of box

Hope thats right as driver due at 7am 2moz..

well thats what i thought except the wording made me think otherwise...its says something about agents or employees etc and i was always told that as a rep we arent actually employed by them. we are self employed..... dont know. the prizes were crap anyway to be honest lol

That sounds fine although I used to put both barcodes on the box until it dawned on me (quite recently) that I could add more returns to the same barcode and just use 1 It won't matter though; 2 is fine. If you make a mistake with the driver's copy again I wouldn't worry about it....as long as the driver signs it, it should be fine. Good luck with your driver getting to you at 7am, given the weather
