Knew you'd know but got to query - will Avon actually credit an amount for an item that's not actually been invoiced i.e. other than as a different item? (If that makes any sense.... :rotfl:)

not sure, but at least this way there are no costly calls to the Call Centre. What will happen is someone from Northampton will call or email querying it.

... Customer recently mentioned that the new ones are harder than an old one she found in the back of a drawer (am guessing the gel ones will be the same as her old one)...

Yes the Supershock Gel ones glide on soooo easily and stay on all day, no smudging at all

...The blusher brush (19075) in C14 clearance @ £2.50 is actually a different brush to the angled brush (10926) in C15 @ £5.50 - mainly the neck colour. Not sure whether customers would realise though - I have some of the old ones in stock when they were offered to us as an online Demo @ 99p but since then none of my customers have ordered one! :cool:

Ah, I see. I am sure noone would notice...or is it just me that wouldn't (as I obviously didn't in the brochures ??????

Morning

I placed my order for C13 last night and tried to order 5 of the naturals Lavendar and Chamomile Shower Gels from the HT15, when I entered the code and put 5 in it showed up OK and stayed on the system right up to the end when I asked to see the total amount then it showed as one item and the cost, can you only order 1 item of each product from the HT brochures or am I doing something wrong.

On a positive note it is a gorgeous sunny day in Norfolk (totally different from yesterday).

Hi,

Just finished my first campaign yesterday (well, placed the order anyway). I've been reading through this thread over the past few weeks and it's given me a great idea of what to expect from doing this.

Sales were okay - at least I hit MOV and that's not including F+F, who will get targeted next campaign.

A few questions:

- I read on here that the Avon brochure bags have holes in them? I read on their website that they'd introduced sealed bags (like freezer bags) at the reps' request, but surely punching holes in them defeats the point of doing that? I haven't ordered any this time and will stick to freezer bags for now since I can get a few uses out of them. I've only had to throw out a few soggy brochures and any other wet ones were left to dry out.

- What do you do about people who left out the brochures, but didn't read them? Everybody who read one (whether they ordered or not) will be getting the next campaign, but I'm not sure what to do about the non-readers. Only a minority of people chose to tick my "do not wish to receive again" box, but then maybe the people who weren't interested at all didn't even look at the slip I put in. Next time I'll highlight that bit so people see it.

- Territory gripes - I've had 3 mix-ups since I started. The first was a street I was assigned to begin with that another rep already did. Lost a few brochures there and didn't get any orders - now I know why. The second time was when I asked for some more streets and was told one of the streets I already had was available. The third is when I collected some books and saw ones left out for another rep (covering it as territory, not F+F). The thing is, on the streets that were already covered, people read the books. Maybe they didn't look at the rep's name and thought it was their usual one. Plus when I knocked at a door on one of those streets the person looked as if they hadn't an an Avon for a while. The original rep might have given up on them/thought they didn't want it anymore.
