    Had a look at the photo links - thanks for sharing. Very striking presentation on the jewellery. I look forward to hearing how you get on. Good Luck.

    Thanks guys; yes, it's taken me ages to prep for the Ladies Night (my own SL is coming along to help - bless!) She reckons I'm a bit of a perfectionist so no way is she going to help me set up (;) which secretly am glad about). Have sooooo much stuff from the 99p room/linen sprays (am on C7 so thought it was a good idea to have a certain amount of bargain stock ready and available) to the Diamondesque jewellery, which has my name on it if it doesn't sell because it's lovely! (Already told my OH what he's buying me for my birthday, which is coming up soon.)

    Betterware came in useful too - the earring display unit is £3.99 from Betterware - bit shaky but hopefully will do the job. I've also covered shoe boxes and lids in gold (full priced stock) and black/silver (clearance items) wrapping paper so I can do a stepped display. Thanks, Avon, for the idea (but didn't want to pay £80+ for the display units supplied by your recommended co.)

  • Hi everyone, just a quick query.... I forgot to order a little pressie for my lady who's placed a £60 order so was thinking that I might do her a voucher to be used in the next campaign. However, wasn't sure whether offering a specific amount i.e. £5 or a percentage would be better?

    I'm sure it'll be great MC!!

    My SL signed me up on Saturday and I haven't heard anything yet about territory. Do you think this afternoon is too soon to phone her and ask?

    May as well, it will only take her a few minutes to sort it out - it's just we can't do it over a weekend cos the systems down then.

    I think it depends what you described the gift as? If you gave her a £5 voucher she could spend just £5 if she wanted. But if you gave her a % off then she will have to place an order an spend money. I think what I'm trying to say is that if I was told I'd get a 'free' gift, I'd be a bit irked if I had to spend even more money to benefit from it. Does that come across ok?
