People say you can order from the previous brochure.
What about an item that was cheaper in a previous brochure??

But there is no offer/

can you do that?

My understanding is that yes, you can... but only for a certain amount of time. Only one campaign behind. Like right now, campaign 16 just ended today and Campaign 17 is going on for 3 weeks. During the next 3 weeks, people can order from 17 or 'back order' from 16. But once 17 ends and 18 comes out, 16 will be too old because it will be 2 books out of date.

Ji also missed out on the new rep Anew skincare offer because the site kept trying to charge me for it.. so i took it off my order. hopefully next campaign will be better. i did get two last minute orders for about £15 total. better than nothing!! :rotfl:

I think with that anew one you can order it next time. Bit confusing really, I couldnt get it on my first order but could on 2nd, its cos you have to have an order of at least MOV before you qualify so maybe it doesnt register that on your first order? Its within first 2 campaigns I think so you'll get it next time x

I'm so pleased - I think running the offer of "start your christmas shopping now, spend £25 or more and get a free perfume" worked...although not that many people qualified (about 7 out of nearly 60 customers lol) - loads of people have ordered something, even people who haven't ordered since early this year, so it must have got them to look through the book.

Well done Lozza and for the £800 orders - wow!

I was going to offer my customers a free gift if they spent over £20 on C16 as that is the brochure that includes the free gift guide. My free gift will probably be bubble bath or moisturiser of some kind, does that seem a bit stingy?

I don't really have any big spend customers so I'm hoping the ones that normally spend £10 will spend more and the ones who spend around £15 will get a free gift.

What has everyone else done?

Hello Ladies.

Have I really been away for so long that you have a new thread now?

To be honest, things have been awful. Partner moved away and cant get transferred home.
Son decided to be an almighty pleb and jump onto the bonnet of a moving car. (didnt end well either)
but 2 days in hospital and lots and lots of TLC and his slowly recovering.
Lost one of my twin cats (impossible to advertise as one is still mooching around the village)
No lounge, had ceiling replastered, (still not dry) no dining room, (full of furniture from lounge) no office (full of furniture from lounge) no TV (never used to watch it but now i miss having the choice)

Avon has been busy with another party and another two for C18 but sister in law away and dumped with her extensive rounds too.

Im just feeling really rubbish and seriously looking for work elsewhere.

(crackers because nothing else would give me the flexibility i have now) but i crave dullness right now!

What with all the changes in Avon and chaos at home, just not been on here at all, dont have any free time at the moment and its killing me!

Not to worry, hopefully in 2 weeks I will have something which resembles a home again, which will make me smile
Sons burns will heal up and not have to spend all morning waiting in for nurse to change dressings.

But by then it will xmas and chaos will reign again.

Been going to fat club and taken up running to try to de stress myself and cant even do them at the moment either

Just plain fed up!!!!

Can't get much worse can it?

Welcome home LucyClare, I know everyone has been missing you! Hope DS gets well soon. I too haven't been on here for ages - me and OH split up and he took the PC, meaning I have only had internet access at work on a Mon and Tues (now borrowed Mums rubbish old laptop for home but it takes so long to do anything I don't even bother switching in on sometimes). Also means I can't go out in the evenings Avoning as there is no-one to look after my little boy, so things have been a bit rubbish on the Avon front for me - submitted my C15 order really late at only got it delivered yesterday! Eek! C16 has to be in on Friday!

On a positive note managed to get 5 free Jillian Dempsey pencils through creative ordering as customers had ordered £50 worth of jewellery between them. I also ordered the wrap your own basket - Mum loves the glamourous gold SSS range and I have been collecting bits over the last few campaigns. Am going to use the basket for her products and maybe add some Terry's All Gold or something else gold-themed, and bingo, that's one Christmas present done. Going to use all the products that came with it for prizes and incentives. Have also got my Country Rose bath robe, am debating whether to keep it or use it for another Christmas present.

Have bought my books into work today to prep, and Mum is picking my baby up from Nursery later so at least I can do all my deliveries straight from work. Won't get in till 9pm probably. Oh well, onwards and upwards! xx

Hi all!! LUCYCLARE - hope things get better for you soon, hope DS is okay x

Quick question though, just about to submit my first order (Yay!), but I need some order forms, but from what I can see there's two codes, 87197 & 87205 - which one should I be ordering?

MissyTheCat

Haven't got HT with me as I am at work, but is one code for the two free packs you are allowed per camp, and the other for any additional packs you may want to pay for?

Thanks, I entered them both and one was free, the other 15p.

Did you order your 2 free pack or one of each. I never pay for order forms as I think its awful how much we have to pay avon for

There are 50 order forms in each pack so in you get the 2 free packs its 100 each campaign which is plenty to keep you going
