Avon Hints and Tips (Part 4)

lozza1985

For the phonecalls you can go into your account and remove your phone number - or do as my oh did last night and pretend he was working in a takeaway and asking them for their order pmsl, it worked!


Bless you jo keep at it Hun - youre so sweet and honest which is why it's hitting you so hard, don't let other people ruin your job, everyone has bad days with Avon & work, but unfortunately as you say we all have bills to pay so we have no choice. Look at the positives - it means you can spend more time with your little one, and have time off when she's poorly which is harder with a 'regulat' job.

Right is this just me being silly?

Im just looking at ordering the 2 lotus shield at £3.25 each from HT12. It says you can earn £11.25 based on brochure 12 selling price of £7, but is the selling price in brochure 12 not £5, therefore making the profit £5.35?

Money_maker

No its them! It says when you sell them at £7 which of course isn't the brochure price. Perhaps they changed the selling price after they set the MM price? Mind you, better than a profit of £3.75 which would be your margin if you ordered them from brochure 12.

I'm going to get the 10 pack - I know I wont sell them all but I'll make £2 per item and get the free haircare pack (have an order from C11 for paddle brush so will give them my unopened one from a few months ago and keep the one from this offer).

Hey all,

Am just putting together my introduction letter to put with my first round of brochures and was thinking about adding the following tick boxes to the bottom. Can I get some feedback from you guys as to whether this is a good or bad idea please.

Thanks in advance


Yes I have placed an order, please call and let me
know the exact date you will be delivering my order

I wouldn't be tied down to an exact date incase you cant make it, we just put we will deliver between x and y date.

Just put the last 2 down because if they make an order there details will be on the order form

Aless, Vistaprint do a "free" small rubber stamp. If you go through Quidco, look for Vistaprint, they are currently offering £2.50 for free orders, by free, they mean things like the rubber stamp, business cards, postcards, and £5 for an order. By an order, they mean a regular order.

You have to pay Postage and Packaging, but if you go for slow delivery 21 days, postage is £3.42, as long as you just have black ink, basic design, no frills. So when Quidco pays out you will only have paid 92p for the stamp .

Or you can go for the bigger stamp but you will have to pay for this.

Got the free Vistaprint stamp but also found that Lidl (or maybe your local Pound Shop) do a 'John Bull' style stamp i.e. where you're given the basic stamp and build up the letters to whatever you wish. Looks more 'basic' (and a bit of a hassle) but the type size is bigger so more legible. Each to their own.....

Hi sylvergrunge

nice idea For the last one though, "Please don't deliver the next campaign to me" do you mean just the next campaign or all campaigns? Because you may get people who don't want to receive another book. Or is this to your existing territory, who have agreed they would like to see books?

HI MC

I knew someone else did the stamp too and it was inexpensive, just couldn't remember.

Thanks for that though, gives everyone a choice of what they want to do

Mine runs along the lines of introduction to avon with bullet points for benefits (COD, to door & 90 day returns).

Then 'I would be grateful if you could indicate whether you would like to receive a brochure regularly, with no obligation to buy'.
Then I have 3 options - yes please, no thank you and I already have a rep (for ticks).

Then I have a thank you etc. and request to leave on doorsept with day and my phone number.

Two per A4 sheet, cut longways.

I do have a couple of customers whom I deliver brochures to quarterly (4 times a year).

Hi aureol, thanks for replying :A I thought I would state "next campaign" so that it leaves me open to retry in a few campaigns time (prob with a little note giving tick boxes allowing them to opt out completely if they want to). Decided to maybe try it this way so people can see that I am not just a fly by night rep and here for the long haul Also, was slightly worried everyone I post to may opt out completely leaving me with no territory at all
