~Avon Hints & Tips (Part 6) ~

MADDIELAW

Hi

Can't seem to get motivated to do Avon at the moment..... Has anybody got any ideas what to do?. Am on my 4th Campaign. I don't seem to get any big orders at the moment. My last order came to £20.00. Am not sure whether to carry on doing it or not. I will probably order something from campaign 16, as I fancy a couple of items from HT, but that will be it though.

Grrr... I'm also a tad annoyed. Not with the site or CS but been signed up about 3 weeks now and still no territory. Contacted SL who told me to pick my own! How will I know if someone else is covering the ones I pick without spending ages knocking on doors? I didnt get the impression its the norm to have to find your own territory. I've wasted a load of brochures in 15 & now 16 as I ordered the amount she recommended to me to cover territory which I didnt even end up with and STILL dont have. I have 8 days left of C16, I dont know this area well (not long moved here) and am now wondering where to start with chosing territory... *sigh*

Also just read that I'm supposed to get brochures for 2nd campaign free?! I didnt... had to buy them in first order. So much for signing up through a SL and not online so I'd have some support...

If you give up now you'll be the £15 appt fee down, remember.

try to stick with it a bit longer. Christmas should bring in more orders for you. I'd wait until after Christmas before you decide if you think you can
Have you got a FB group? Do you include newsletters etc with your brochures?
I'm a newbie so cant really help much but I've been doing newsletters to point out the top offers etc and made a fb profile for my Avon to try to promote it and I try to put offers on there etc. Might be worth a go?

Maddie - have you got territory? If not, speak to your SL. Some of us dont have many F&F so rely on territory to get the orders.

Arg so annoyed!!! Put an alternative delivery address when i placed my order thought I'd better ring to check and no still getting delivered to my house! They cannot guarantee it will actually get delivered to the alternate address and if it does it will be 48 hours late!!! I said so what would happen if it gets delivered to mine and no one is in? It will get returned and credited?!?!?! Very helpful! So the next answer was to leave it in the shed for days when no one is home!!!!

I'm dreading coming home to find where it has gone!! I'm messing my grandma about too now saying well it might be delivered but it might not!

what should happen if they can't deliver, ie leave with a neighbour, they should take back to depot, leave you a calling card and you can go collect from depot.

Hi, not posted on here for a while....

Can anyone help me, a customer has asked about Personal Match Foundation, I can't find this anywhere, I'm only on my 3rd campaign with Avon so a lot of the product name's don't mean anything to me yet. Do Avon still do this foundation or has it been replaced with an alternative?

Thanks Aureol, I don't know what we would do without you. Have fun at the circus tonight.

Chasingsunshine - something that was suggested to me and Hubby was to do an Avon survey on roads near you. Go out armed with a few questions like 'Have you seen the latest advert on TV?, When did you last see an Avon brochure? etc' Then hopefully someone will say they haven't seen one for ages and then you can say I will drop one off.

And yes the SL is supposed to provide 20 books for your first campaign and 20 books for your second campaign. Then you buy any books needed for the 3rd and subsequent campaigns.
