Avon Hints and Tips (Part 4)

lozza1985

I'm guessing - if your customer doesn't fancy the bath oil (she could try it and return it of course if she doesn't take to it), that possibly the sensitive or white lily bubble bath might be the best bet, as they'll be the lighest fragrance. Depends whether she wants it for the fragrance or the insect repellent quality I suppose, as I know some people use the original bath oil to keep flies away from pets etc.

Thanks to lozza1985, marsdencuckoo and aureol212 for answering my questions. Sorry the 2nd question was confusing! I'm still confused;)

Not sure but this might make a bit more sense,
I have just put my first order on for c11, my friend(Avon rep) kindly gave me 30+ books that she had given to customers but will not use again (c10) so I also delivered those to the other half of my territory.
My SL gave me 20 books of c12 when I put my c11 order on about 1 week ago, I still have these at home as I was going to give them to the customers with there order.
Tomorrow my delivery will come aswell as c13 books.
My question is do I give out c13 or c12 to people who have ordered goods from c11?
My next order is due in 13 days omg! I'm in a bit of a muddle I think!
Shall I just miss out c11 and go straight onto c12 and c13? or deliver c11 and c12 and put c13 books in the garage until my next delivery comes?
Sorry if its confusing:o

Ok - so you've ordered from brochure 11....so customers that ordered from brochure 11 will go onto 12...you won't be able to order from brochure 13 yet. We order brochures 2 campaigns ahead, as otherwise due to the overlap between putting your order in & receiving delivery, you would end up with a week with no brochure 13s even though you'd be on brochure 13.

Put your brochure 13s in the garage for the moment - from the sounds of things you're now onto campaign 12 - so you can order from brochures 12 & 11. Just move your customers along to the next brochure - if they ordered from 11, give them brochure 12 with their order. Other people who haven't ordered, you can give them brochure 11 to make use of them.

oo, another product query. A new customer has said that apparently avon used to do/stock a scent called Lace. Is this an old scent or maybe something special they have around Christmas? Thanks.

Seem to recall - many moons ago (yes, am officially old) that Avon did a Black Lace and White Lace. Am wondering if they 'morphed' into Little Black Dress and Little White Dress? Could be worth a punt.....

If I were you I'd offer to order both for your customer on a 'sale or return' basis and see if she likes either. (Telling her that they 'tweeked' it a little to bring it up to date may also be worth mentioning too.... ;) ) It does have a design resembling lace (well, more fishnet stockings really....) on the box so that may help too but you may need a good imagination!

Well done you! Keep it up. Carry a book with you and tell everyone you come across that you've started doing Avon. It's surprising where your next order(s) will come from.... Hairdressers, childminders, shopkeepers, mums & toddlers' groups, etc. etc. and if you can get your OH on board mentioning it to his mates down the pub and at work even better!
