You can get pencil sharpeners with a bigger hole for thicker pencils. I had one. Can't remember if I got it from Boots or Superdrug.

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone ordered the Treasure Beads and bracelet yet? I have a couple of friends with real Pandora ones and wondered if the Avon ones look ok?
Watching the mega longest ever match on Wimbledon... amazing!

So, with the parties, do you do a load of spiel at the start about Avon? Do you do it at peoples houses or do they come to yours? Do you do like a themed demo, e.g. make-over, foot products etc like Virgin Vie/Bodyshop parties or do you just let them browse?

i do a very brief intro to avon if they are newbie customers there.
I do it at customers houses where they invite their friends neighbours etc.
do not do themed demo, not tried it, wont do make overs as im rubbish at it.
take lots and lots of demo stuff and let them browse and strongly encourage to try stuff, go round with smellies squiring every one.
get out new products to promote
Demo really works, I sell loads that way.

Excellent. Think I will get a few campaigns under my belt first and that will give me a chance to get some decent demo stock together. :beer:

Wendy, I am thinking about getting the beads and bracelet too. They look lovely and are a real trend at the moment. A good way to get people to see it and hopefully buy when it gets into the brochure.

Are the beads the same size as the Pandora ones? In other words, could someone with a Pandora bracelet buy these to add to it? Also, how many beads do you need to buy to make it look OK. I imagine buying just the bracelet and 3 beads would look a bit stark!!!

Just got my invoices online. The order I placed tuesday night showing flip flops out of stock. My additional order placed this morning now has them on! What a difference a few hours make...

No discount on additional so items will be reordered in next delivery then returned as the non discount ones - avon will have to have the extra paperwork and hassle for being so mean.
