~Avon Hints & Tips (Part 6) ~

Aureol212, I don't think so because I pointed that out. There is a bit of a language barrier because she is Indian and doesn't speak English as fluently as it would take to really describe the product she means. I think there is a good chance the glass container jar that people have mentioned earlier is what she is looking for, because she seemed unwilling to consider any of the other foot creams, and the difference in appearance would explain why. I will still get some samples for her. She did say that the cream she wanted is perfumed. So perhaps I can get her to try some nice-smelling ones. thanks!!

Okay, my MIL has said that she won't use night creams because they have parabens in them. is there a way to find out if Avon Anew is paraben free? hmmm.

I also thought about something... so you know how if you buy more than 3 packs of brochures (which in itself comes to a bit over £14) the subsequent packs of brochures are only 48p each? why don't people who live near each other just have one person order all the brochures for both of them, or even 3 people. then the cost would be so much lower for everyone.

Can I just clarify that Hello Tomorrow Items are billed in the following campaign?

Hi, apologies if this has been answered before, is there anyone on the forum who lives in Spain who is an Avon rep?

Basically i'm wondering if 'Avon' in Spain would be a viable option for me.
I am a 50+ 'lady' (in my dreams) I moved from the UK to Spain last year, the only problem is I do not speak Spanish, so finding a job is a little daunting! I have been toying with the idea of being an Avon representative, selling to the 'ex pat' community, but I have encountered my first problem, the Avon Spanish website is in Spanish (no surprise there then, what was I expecting Turkish!!) with no translation button!! I just wondered if anyone knew if I could perhaps join the UK system & if they would deliver to Spain? I am thinking that because the majority of my customers would be British it would easier to have British brochures rather than Spanish, would this be possible?
I'm so sorry to have posted so many questions on my first introduction post but any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you xx

I don't think the UK system would deliver to Spain. There are reps in Spain, so there must be some local delivery system.

Found this

http://www.thespainforum.com/f196/avon-representatives-214816/

it might be worth contacting the lady Jaine and asking her, I am sure you can get brochures in English for the English customers, but they must be delivered or printed in Spain, and then they would get delivered/posted to you?

also if you look at the Spanish Avon site through google, it will automatically come up in the tool bar above, translate this page? From Spanish to English. A bit fiddly, what you have to do, is hover over the words, and they show the english translation.
Let us know how you get on.

That big pot is only brought out around Xmas each year. Might need to get her to stock up until next year!

Because I don't know the other reps that live around me, and I would have to go and get brochures from them, etc, for me, to inconvenient, easier just to order my own.

MoneyMakers from Hello Tomorrow are billed 2 campaigns later than ordered, ie order in C17, you will be billed in C19.

If you order any products from Hello Tomorrow including clearance items, ie C17, you will be billed in C17.

I think you've got this mixed up, 3 packs of brochures costs £4.86 then subsequent packs cost 48p each xx

I think ordering brochures together would only work if it was a family member / good friend - if they were effectively a stranger, you run the risk of them not giving you the books as arranged so then you'd be stuck with no brochures.
