~Avon Hints and Tips~(Part 5)

I've been using the Smooth minerals foundation in Ivory and very pleased with it. So good in fact that I use it sparingly or it looks "too perfect" for a lady of my age(I'm with you spiggle-Happy Birthday).
I'm not that fair (a bit sallow with some redness)but find I do need a light foundation or it looks too pinky or orangey so Im really pleased with the tone of this and it is easy to apply-as long as your skin is not too moist. I make sure mine is dry now-not straight after moisturiser or too much goes on!

i had an idea for birthdays and christmas's. if a customer orders 10 pounds of products or more as a present i will gift wrap them in a pretty box for free. its probably been said before but theres 77 pages now and its difficult to catch up when your new.

it hasn't been mentioned on this thread.

Elliebee has in her hints and tips, if offering a free gift, ie over £10, receive a free gift, she wrapped it in tissue paper with a little bow or something, so customers realised it was a gift.

A few threads ago, I remember (gosh I have the memory of an elephant!), someone saying they were going to offer this service. That especially for the men, if they ordered a product as a gift for a lady they knew, she would gift wrap it too for them.

We never got any feedback if she did do this or how well it worked for her.

im going to make up a flyer and put it in the next few catalogues i think as birthdays happen all the time.

For anyone who received my flyer via email:
Reset the page to a4 and put it landscape and copy and paste one line at a time to the right of the page so you get 2 flyers side by side-Im not good at that part! However-Ive got it right now so if anyone wants me to email it again feel free to ask-the one Ive just printed off just needs cutting down the middle and Im going to put it in the brochure with the order form. Im going to keep it as a template for the future-well Ive put in pagebreaks with headers for future campaigns so I won't have to remember how to set it up.
If you do this just set you printer to print page 2 or whatever on the next campaign.

I also have a 'please leave outside' etc leaflet that I have adapted from some documents Elliebee (thank you ) sent me. If anyone would like to have a look just pm me your email address and I will send it to you

WOW!!! Just sent dp out to pick up my 22 books I left on Wednesday to new territory and he picked up 10 and there were 4 orders worth £36!! That's 4 new customers in the run up to Christmas!!! That's given me a really big boost and I can't wait to put out the books again and pick up the other 12 tonight.

Avon have sent me loads of emails over the past couple of days, including the campaign 1 book to preview / order from, a questionnaire & something about offers each day & check my messages! Plus have a new asm as last one was a temp (?!) hope I get more response from this one!!

When I first started I lost a few books in my first campaign so on my second I printed up some sticky labels to go on my bags, just saying "Please don't throw me away, just leave me outside I will be collected." this seemed to really help and I have hardly lost any since. Espcially as reps in my area seem to lose interest quickly.

C14 does not seem great for me so far! How's everyone else doing with it?
