Thanks everyone. My day is getting worse - I had bought a huge bag of samples off a friend who used to do Avon for a fiver (funnily enough she did the same territory as me and said she never made any money off it but I didn't listen). I've just sorted through them all and 95% of the products were discontinued. I now have 3 bags of perfume, aftershaves and lipsticks that I can't use and a handful of ones that might come in handy one day.. The lipsticks will probably go in the bin (don't know anyone who wears it - maybe my Mum, will ask) and me and OH will keep the fragrances and see if there's anything we like. What a waste!!

So that's £5.00 on the samples, £4.20 on all the leaflets I printed to get me started + £7.50 to Avon start up and £3.00 on starter bags etc. = £19.70

I only have 4 days left and just putting my books out and expect approx £80.00 orders (- 20% = £64.00 cost to me)

£64 + £19.70 = £83.70 so I've lost money and I haven't even included brochures for C1 in that. I won't have friends and family orders next campaign (which has been the bulk of it) either so it's going to be worse!! I'll give it my best shot since the books are free anyway and I still have 3 streets I didn't manage to cover but if it doesn't work I'm not going to bother any longer as I've put a huge amount of work in everyday - I've literally been doing it full-time as I'm on maternity leave.

hi all,
just a little rant for me, done well with getting my orders out on saturday, managed to get done by the time it started to rain (yay!) and with only 2 people not in and one asked me to come back as she had no cash. So went back out yesterday got one that was in, one that asked me to come back today and then the 'had no cash' was in (her kitchen window was open, could hear someone washing up) but no answer! So goes back out tonight when I could've happily stayed home as I've not been very well last night and today and the lady who asked me to come back has cancelled her order now and 'had no cash' was in again (lights on) but no answer!! Shall be popping a note through her door tomorrow when I go to collect books that I put out to people that were in for their orders and if I don't get it out to her by wednesday it shall be going back!! Really quite riled up by that.
*exhales*
hope everyone else is doing ok! Good luck with the baby moneysaver! Not a mum myself but agree with the others, you should be concentrating mainly on you!

Hello

Im slightly confused (which really doesnt take a lot), there is a moneymaker in HT 18 for Outspoken it has the eau de parfum spray then the body spray and body lotion and says just £9 when you order 3 or more, do you get all three for £9 or is it just the parfum, also in camp 17 they have the free watch with fragrances £12 or over, so Im not quite sure what I would do if a customer ordered the outspoken which I got from HT18 with regards to the watch. I did email Avon to ask them but the answer didnt make sense. Any help would be very appreciated.

clarebear74, i've been also wondering the same thing! they dont really explain it very well about the moneymaker in HT18! hopefully someone will come on soon and help out with an answer!

Im glad Im not the only one , I asked Avon but the reply was (I can confirm that both the offers in question are different), how can they be different in the HT 18 mag it says the parfum + the other two items, plus you cant expect a customer to buy the perfume in camp 17 and not have the watch!!.
