Avon Hints and Tips (Part 4)

Mel1979a

I am really struggling this campaign. I have dropped over 250 books at new territiry and collected them and only have 2 orders totalling £14.
Im only on my second campaign so hoping the people who ordered off me last time come up trumps for me when i collect their books on Monday.

Gloversgirl, me,me, me! Especially on my own territory! Just to make sure no one else has been putting books down! But yes been doing it everywhere I walk, seen a lot of kleeneze books.

Hi Mel, when I find I am struggling for orders, I put an incentive with my books. My current incentive was spend £10 or more and receive a free gift. I will only buy the free gift when I have seen an order for £10 or more, and it will be something for £1 or under from the Clearance part of HT.

Maybe you could do something similiar? Or offer a prize draw?

Hi all,
I've been doing ok with territory although it's still small due to my previous issues with being allocated territory that is already being covered and I'm still waiting for asm to allocate me some more. Got another party next week and the host has already pre ordered £50 worth of suncream in advance so should hopefully be a good order.

Questions- Has anyone tried car boot sales with avon and if so how did it go and what sells?
Cheers all

p.s. I'm northumberland closer to newcastle

I'm on C7, so no good to me. Whereabouts in the country are you? North, South, East, West?

Have you actually used these books? If not, email Avon and ask if you can return them for credit. If they say yes give them back to your SL or ASM with the order forms and email from Avon.

They let me do it for my Rep who resigned as she had not put any orders in for 2 campaigns. However, I have to return everything for her!

HI, I live in the South (Essex). I was given these by my ASM when I started, so didnt pay for them. I was just wondering if I could someone a favour if they needed them.

That's really nice of you but others might be on forward campaigns now. You're too far from me to collect.

If you don't get any takers, just give them back to your ASM, she can use them for expired book drops.

Still waiting for my ASM to get back to about some more territory. Have collected all my books in and still have just under a week til my order needs to be in so it feels like wasted time when I could get them out again if I had some more houses to deliver them too!! Still got a couple of orders to come from friends so who knows may even break £250 this time!

Out of interest, is it possible to change to having a SL rather than an ASM or would I have to resign and then rejoin? It just seems like SLs are more proactive when it comes to their reps than ASMs!
