    Just put my first order in for approx £229. A few items are in short supply-I do hope I get them. Ive ordered some £1 shower gels for the high spenders. Just out of interest for others my costs this camp came to approx £17 including 30 c13 and 30 c14 brochures, medium and large bags and a couple of other bits I think. I will of course pay £7.50 over 2 campaigns also-Ive not forgotten!
    Im keeping my c11 brochures in the hope of getting an extra territory in time to use them. Ive still got one small road to cover which I didn't do.
    C12 should be a doddle after c11. I just need to print some more slips. Im putting collection day on my slips of Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun and circling as appropriate. That way I can reuse them-especialy if I try to set 2 days a week for picking up brochures. It took me a while to get this right but I think this method will work well for me-unless anyone has a better method.
    This camp Ive got myself the following freebies: 2 bottles of sun lotion and an anew treats pack. Not bad at all! I curbed my personal order to approx £7. Thanks everyone for helping me through this first campaign-hopefully I will be able to help otehrs in the future.
    Oh-I did check to see the cost of orderpads if anyone actually wanted to order more than 2 packs and it is 15p. I then took them off the order of course! For anyone not sure of the anew freebies-whether they have qualified or not with what they are ordering-add it to the order-show the costs then see if it comes up as 0.00 cost.If it doesnt then simply remove it. The sun lotions will of course show as £3 each if you have ordered 3.

    So does that mean i cant order it on my c12 order? and are they discontinuing it after c14?

    You should be able to order it in C12, it may not appear after C14, I guess it depends how many are left after that so better to stock up now if you want them.

    This seems to have disappeared from the brochures and I can't click on the 'bye Buys' on the web- link seems to be broken. Does anyone know what the recommended swap is supposed to be? I know there are two shades in HT clearance but they are not dark enough for the customer. Any ideas welcome?
    Thanks

    Good morning everyone!

    I've just signed up as an Avon rep and am finding all the hints & tips on here really helpful with my first campaign - thanks! :T

    Does anyone know where I can buy little (50ml or so) bottles, like the ones they give you in hotel rooms? I'd really like to be able to give samples of new products like the French Lilac bubble bath in C12, but only seem to be able to buy the full sized product from HT.

    Any ideas?

    Boots, they do travel bottles. Ideal for samples, saves you carting the full sized stuff around.

    Well, getting myself ready for tomorrow. Our first big fund raising day for Avon Cancer Crusade. We have a stall in one of our towns, have the drinking bottles, bags, nail files and pins, balloons (had to phone to order another 200) we've bought a table and gazebo. Managed to get some proper collection boxes instead of the cardboard ones. Got a handfull of sticky label badges (poor show really) so wish me luck with my £1000 target! Got the local paper coming to take a photo too. So hopefully lots and lots of publicity for our forthcoming 4 charity stalls. Shamlessly, we will be prospecting too and giving out Avon recruitment flyers and samples to all donators. Will also be having a free prize draw. I think im over the £750 mark with my orders too, so hopefully I will hit Bronze this time. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    Bring it on Sister!
    Completely shattered, but Sunday will be a day off, so I can recover then :)

    I'm happy, up to £185.16 with my orders so far, due in next Thurs. I have another 30 books to collect Monday from a new road plus 3 from f&f so fingers crossed - aiming for the £200+ again!
    C10 - £150.49 C11 - £215.77 C12 - £299.27 C13 - £446.49 :beer: C14 - £323.95 :)
    C17 - £610.78 :j:j C18 £367.40
