Thanks, didn't know whether it was worth getting just for the bag? The targets thingy says that you get a bag if you hit £250 in all your first 6 campaigns but I didn't know how likely that was (not meaning to sound negative!). Hmmmm will have to have a think lol!

I bought that £10 bag and got quite a few samples in it, but like everyone said you get them with the other incentives anyway, order forms which are free and some paper bags which are only cheap anyway. The bags an awkward size you cant get many books in which is what I bought it for, I actually use the breast cancer bag for life for books which is only £3!! The books go in perfect!
I regret paying £10 for the bag because I ended up with hundreds of samples anyway and today actually recieved the better bag for getting the higher orders in all six campaigns. They are actually very similar bags. I would wait until you put your order on to decide, you can then tell if you think youll get all incentives and receive the better bag.

Thanks, just been speaking to my mum and she's got an Avon branded holdall that she's gonna post to me so I'm not going to bother with the £10 bag. Like you I wanted it to cart the books around so I think the holdall will be better for this, plus it might actually fit better on the back of the buggy!

I've also just got my first order!! It's only for £3 but it's a start!!! Also started a group on facebook and loads of my friends have asked to see a book so hopefully this is really going to take off for me! Going to put my first lot of books out tomorrow.

My SL told me that the £250 limit was downgraded to £148 (?).

Yes, that rings a bell. I'm pretty sure it's correct.

Yes it was downgraded to be in line with mov/hov so that more people could achieve.

Just a quick note to say that my C3 order which was due on monday, arrived at 8.15 this morning. He found a very dishevelled rep, half asleep in her dressing gown. Worst part was my returns weren't ready :mad: so I'll probably be recharged before my next delivery. Hope everyone else is more organised than me so as not to be caught out by avon bringing deliveries forward by a day.

Awh bless, MIL was all upset the other day - she hadn't realised to enter the voucher code as well as the special code for the make up (she always asks about things if she's unsure so I'd figured she was ok with it), but luckily only one customer used the voucher so not too much of a problem. I was going to go over today to help her return it & reorder it, but she's worked it out for herself bless her, and getting the hang of returns - she knew how to do them, but thought she'd be out of pocket until next campaign, so she's very pleased that she can deduct the amount from her balance as its about £25 of stuff she's got to return.

Just been and collected up my brochures, and got another new customer from OH territory which is good, a £20 order Just got to clean the rabbits, then I'll sit down and sort through the books and update my signature for C3

O, and yesterday a lady I work with actually asked me to bring her in an avon book! Been doing this for a year now and she never wanted one before....I'm wondering if she's seen the new lippy advert / her daughter wants one - so hopefully got a new customer

I have two customers who both bought items with the £5 off voucher, however they have both said they dont like them and want to swap them for two other items, which is fine however when i tried to re-order the new ones (which ive told them if they dont like, they will have to "lose" the discount as i cant re-order again etc) they both come up at full price,even though ive used the correct disc code for returning them, any ideas ?

thanks alot

So on the sheet about the incentives I have to get £78 of sales to get the first incentive and £148 to get the second? The lady who came round (she's an ASM I think) just changed the amounts for the first one to £78 but didn't fill in anymore of the gaps on there. Can anyone shed any light on what I'm actually meant to acheive to get the incentives?
