~Avon Hints & Tips (Part 6) ~

Money_maker

Just finished my C17 order for input tonight. Did reasonably well. ALL customers got C17, C16, C17 clearance and C16 Christmas supplement in one bag. Meant I couldn't canvass as no books left but noticed some of my regular ordered from C16 second time around. Will just stick to one brochure for my not so good customers and two brochures again for my best ones so I can canvass a bit next time.

Not got so much time for avon at the mo as I've been busy doing other work which makes avon more enjoyable as I'm not so intensely concentrated on it. Will have to see what C18 brings. Two more orders then I can take a break for Christmas - hooray! BTW, Asda has big bags of mini sized maltesers, milky way stars, mars, twix etc at 3 for £3 if anyones looking to pop a treat in with a brochure.

anyone have any 'customers' who have never bought a thing, but are always requesting samples? I have a few people who seem to just use the samples up and then request more so they don't have to buy the product! I have been having to say 'oh sorry, I have run out of those'.... i think they would take a year's supply if they could.

also, i love the Anew night cream, but i may have to stop using it - my husband hates it! he won't kiss me on the cheek any more at night because he says it gets on his lips and tastes awful. Lol, he refuses to kiss me on the lips either if I am wearing Avon lip gloss because he says it's sticky. so apparently i have to choose between Avon and affection from my husband. LMAO.

Thank you for the advise on Outspoken, its weird as I have not sold a single bottle of it since I started Avon in July but I have four orders for the Perfume this campaign (16), as they have ordered it at its full price I think I will give them the other two items with it as a special rep deal (can I do that) especially as they are all regular customers, no doubt I will end up keeping a bottle for myself as well!!

are you going to buy the moneymaker and do it that way? Because you won't be able to order more than 1 of the product from HT otherwise. I mean are you going to order the moneymaker for these customers?

I have never had this problem as most of the time my customers don't know we can order samples.

Are you charging them for the samples?

Argh! I'm still really struggling to get motivated Now 29 weeks preggo and felt rubbish all the way though this campaign. So annoying! I've only given out about 6 books of the 30 I ordered! Annoyed with myself for wasting the money on them and the next 2 campaigns which I'm sure I'll end up doing the same with.
Thank goodness I've just had an order put in for £66! Almost up to MOV on my first order for this campaign and I know I want to order something so thats cool. Was only aiming for MOV this campaign anyway cos I just feel so rotten at the moment.
My mu wants to put an order in too and someone else mentioned they might back order cos they want the glam box after seeing mine. If so that'll be 4 of them - Dont suppose anyone knows what the availability is like on them :undecided
If they are in stock still that could take me up to HOV which would be fab, if the boxes arent in stock my customers wont want the make up so I'll be stuck at MOV

I got conned by a new customer that way (never charge for samples) as she only bought a couple of other bits. If its something they do regularly then perhaps you suggest they order a couple of shades and they can return the one that doesn't suit.

Thanks aureol
Unfortunately I moved towns last year and I dont know anyone at all around here Been trying to get to know people through coffee mornings etc but really struggling at the moment. Such a shame as its the best time for me to be selling with Christmas coming up.

Going to try to keep a positive head on though. Still a week to go. fingers crossed me! If those antler bags are in stock I could still make HOV
