Hi Clarebear,
I recieved a sales brochre for 14 and 15 and I'm in North Yorkshire. Possible that selected places got it but strange too,Surely everyone having the opp to look through the disconuted lines is going to increase sales??
I had a customer who filled their order form and also added an A4 piece of paper!!! So I found it to be a good seller....although it looked liek a bigger order than it was, as many of the products were a quid here and there but hey ho, a sale is a sale is it not?

Hi vhuthart30

Yes you are right a sale is a sale and I think I may have lost out on that as people do love a bargain.

Hi everyone,

I have a quick question. I was wondering when an additional order can be done. Is there a time limit. The reason I ask is that I am doing a pamper afternoon on saturday and am hoping to sell some flipflops which are in brochure 14. I have done the order for 14 on 31st August, but I was hoping to put an additional order in, (if I get enough orders to make it worth my while), so that I don't have to wait for my C15 order to go in which is 21st Sept I think and then wait again for delivery. So my question is can I put an order in after this weekend for an additional order for C14.
Thanks,
Rachel

Hi Rachael,
As far as I know until camp 15 has gone in you can additionally order ( as i have order week or so agfter) but additional orders take around a week and are charged with £2.50 P&P

Well yeah i really can't understand why sales flyers are only sent to selcted areas because alot of people will buy things they don't need e.g extra shower gels, because they don't want to miss out on the price! I am one of those too!! I love the room and linen sprays but go through them alot...outnumbered by males in my house and also smokers, so they just freshen up soo well, but because I use them so much I like them at bargain price... £0.99 instead of £3.50

Thanks for this. I am hoping that I can get to at least MOV and that way it shouldn't matter about the P&P charge. I already have an order for one pair of flipflops, so just got to get 4 more orders for flipflops and I can order something small to make it up to MOV.

vhuthart30

Yeah you will get your commision on it if it reachs MOV, even though its an additional order.
Are you organzing an event?

Yes my friend and I are having a pamper afternoon this Saturday. I have ordered loads of bits to demonstrate and loads of cheapy bits for people to buy on the day. It is only a small event with me, my friend doing homemade greetings cards, home made jewellery, Indian head massage and holistic therapies and hopefully a hairdresser. Also doing refreshments and a raffle. Am hoping to pick up some new customers really.

vhuthart30

That sounds brill!
Hope it goes well!
I'm desperate to start doing Avon parties, I've got all these ideas and want to get the tried out, as well as to get a bigger customer base.
are you trained in doing therapies?
Have you hired somewhere for it?

Not happy. Just had my order through and they have sent yet more brochure bags with holes in!!!! Going to go through the ebay contact someone mentioned earlier in the thread as all my brochures will be soaked in this weather Is everyone else getting holey bags ???

vhuthart30

I've had to packs of them and been fine, some don't fasten perfect the first time but no biggy
