Avon Hints and Tips (Part 4)

Miss_Cakey_Bun

I have a slip that I have stuck to the front of my books (prints 4 to a page but you could make it 5) it says

Hi my name is Wanda, I am your new local Avon representative. I pride myself on being reliable and punctual and I really look forward to sharing Avon with you. Please have a look through this Avon brochure and if you have any questions just give me a call or drop me an email and I will do my best to help yo

I will call back on Wednesday 16th June in the evening to collect this brochure & your order
Orders will be delivered Sunday 11th July

After not getting that many books back I have made a slip that says

Avon Calling
I called to collect your Avon brochure but unfortunately you were not home when I called.
I will call back on ...............afternoon/evening please leave your brochure on your doorstep,
Thank you


I did this yesterday lunchtime and it did make them pop the books out so I could collect them last night lol

Hope this help you and any others that want to use it

Hi Lucyclare,

Thanks for your help its much appreciated, I think I will go with more books for the first few campaigns as it will make covering my area a lot easier, I can then cut back to using just the ones i need.

I signed up with my ASM who is WONDERFUL a very helpful lady who is doing my training face to face and is very supportive. I am seeing her on Thursday so will get a few more books from her to get me through.

Thanksd for the offer of a template for the order form but I made one up during a quiet time at work and s long as I only put a few forms in my printer at once it behaves and prints them well, otherwise it eats them!!!!!

Right off to my day job

Take care and thanks again xxx:j

Hi Everyone,

I was away when the Lotus Shield training was on. Had a quick look at website but can't see a link. Want to make sure I tell my reps and customers how to use it properly. Any help appreciated!

Thankyou,

Wendy

Hey, collected all my brochures in from my street last night and think i only have three houses that are interested in looking but did get two orders so suppose out of three so far that isnt bad. My ASM is coming tonight so asking her about gets lots more territory!

Does anybody have a standard letter type thing they use when stuffing brochures, just one saying my name is.... ill be collecting on ..... please tick here if you already get avon elsewhere or dont want anything now but might next time. I tried with the knocking on doors but im really not the type of person that handles things like that easily and i think if all they have to do is tick a box i might get more of a proper answer.

Thanks for your help!

WOW - 2 out of three is certainly 'not bad' Well done!

If you would like to PM me with your email address, I have some templates etc which might help.

I'm thinking about offering a discount to my customers if they get me orders from their freinds/family.

Has anybody done this? What wording to I use? Everything I come up with sounds silly!

You could just keep it simple and go for something like this, which I used on the top of my collection ticket a couple of campaigns ago.

WHY NOT JOIN MY ‘AVON ANGELS’?

Take your book to work/school/playgroup/clubs/family & friends and earn yourself special treats as a reward for any extra orders.


I've found it better to keep the rewards on an informal basis as it gets complicated and is open to abuse otherwise. I sometimes give a gift, other times a money off voucher, sometimes a little pack of samples. It depends on the value of the extra orders - the higher the order values, the better the reward.

Hope that at least gives you food for thought

Thanks Elliebee - thats just what I was wanting.

Going to give it a try - can't hurt to give it a go!

Can anyone help? If I order the 10 Lotus Shield moneymaker from HT, and get the free haircare pack, if I have to return any of the Lotus Shields do I have to return the free gift as well, regardless of how many I have actually sold? Thought I might try and sell some on my Avon stall at the Summer Fair, but don't want to sell anything out of the free gift if I have to return it xxxxx
