Question about brochures. I was told by my SL that I should order C17 and C18 brochures when I put my C16 order in. Will I get charged for the C18 brochures this campaign or next? With the £7.50 admin fee and C17 brochures, if I order C18 brochures and get invoiced this campaign it will eat all of my profit and I will end up owing Avon money on top.

Your SL should provide your first 2 campaigns books for free!

You then would need to order your 3rd campaign books.

so if you start on C16, your SL should give you 20 books, upto her if she wants to give you more than that, and C17 20 books, you order C18 books. Upto you if you order them in C16 or C17. I would leave it until C17.

Go back to your SL and make sure she gives you your 2 campaigns free books.

Someone has ordered some bath roses from me, and they're in the clearance part of HT, but it says in the back of HT that you can't sell the items on. Haven't got the catalogue to hand at the minute, but if it's the same product code what's the difference? Or will it be a different product code?

you are buying the bath roses for yourself aren't you;)

Oops... another question! Just looking at Christmas fayres etc and thinking about doing a stall but was told that you cannot buy things in Avon then sell on a stall so what do you usually do? Just put brochures, order forms and samples etc out...?

When you buy products from Avon, and your customers buy products from Avon, if they then go to a carboot sale or sell on ebay, how do Avon know?

For a stall, I would have few demo products, to show people what they look like in "real life", maybe a few products to buy, A £1 box is good for this, cheap showergels, etc.

and Books and order Forms, Samples, pens, business cards.

I have just got off the phone to Avon, asking for the phone number for my delivery depot and they are saying they can't give it to me!!! I thought I remember someone mentioning that they got it directly from Avon. Anyone know where else I can get this info from?

Avon in UK will know the number of your courier company, Avon in India, probably don't know where the numbers are or think they can't give it to you. You need it though as if they tried to deliver your order to you and you weren't home and they took it back, how would you contact them!

E-mail Avon through Contact Us and ask them for it. They can give it to you.

Oh yes, if you are ordering items from Clearance in HT, for your own personal use, or to give as gifts to customers for their orders , you can ONLY order from clearance in the current HT. If you backorder from clearance in the previous HT, the item will show on your invoice as out of stock or you maybe charged a higher price.

Seriously some SL take the p*ss - as A says - we *have* to provide brochures for your first 2 campaigns, 20 at least for each (thats all we get refunded for), though many people, including me give out more (though if people are doing f&f then I don't as 20 is usually too many for a lot of people).

Tell them to do their bl**dy job right lol!

And yes connects is rubbish - its so slow & hard to navigate I have to say I rarely log in lol!

Hi ladies (and potentially gents!) I'm an Avon newbie-ish.. I'm on my 3rd campaign and I've been struggling a bit but orders are orders nonetheless! Hopefully C17 will give me a boost now that people are seeing I'm a regular avon lady. I've been reading the Avon threads and there's been some great advice. Fingers crossed my sales pick up soon!

:mad:So I didn't do great in my first campaign. I got two orders from the streets I was given most people saying they didn't want a book. I got a further three orders from F+F.
I have been trying to get in touch with my ASM about getting some more streets seeing as I now dont have many houses to deliver to for c17. I can't get in touch with her and i have been trying since monday :mad:
