    when u buy stuff for yourself, do u buy it at 'book price' or with your discount off. would it make much difference to paying tax?

    According to HMIR, unless it is listed as a Demo, you are your own customer. Therefore, you pay the full rate and tax on your comission.

    Sadly, it is because it all comes through on one invoice. the only way around this is to place a separate order, although with a £2.50 charge, its just not worth it, unless you are pc member and get free additional orders.

    Does anyone have any image requests, I have a pretty good scanner and can upload nearly anything within reason.

    I really dont mind scanning in and sending on (within reason again)

    What about the new lotus hair serum for C12? Should we make a flyer for that?
    Answers on a postcard please......... LOL

    My next door neighbour used to do Avon too but gave up a few months ago. I popped a book through one of her old customers doors and although there was no order there was a lovely thank you card :j She asked me to leave a book in future and thanked me for presenting such a nice polished campaign, she obviously liked my little newsletter style note so thanks guys for the idea :beer:

    I found that if I right click on the image and save it straight to the computer I can get the image without having to scan :) Of course that only works if there is already a good image online!

    I do that too. But for new products in HT they're not always available online.

    Thank you that's brilliant. I'll probably use the postcard first to drop this week to my new territory as its fab and I don't need to change it, and then do something fancy with the picture to create a flyer for my customers.

    Both fab though - let us know if you do any more!:A

    Well I went collecting brochures yesterday, got maybe 2/3rds back - and ONE order for £25 :( Still have a couple of orders I know are coming from 2 regulars. (Oh, and BTW, the order was from one of the scruffiest houses I drop to, first time she's ordered!)

    What are the flyers and what do you do with them? Are they like advertising things?
