With a good bit of CO it can be more but you have to remember your books and anything else you order come out of it :cool:

My customers don't seem to go for this, When I've done this in the past I've had orders at 50p below what would get them the free gift - there's no way I'd be able to resist, think I need to try something different.

I'm doing a free gift for orders of £12.50 and more in C6 (to tie-in with the 125 years....OHs suggestion!). When I've done spend x amount and get a free gift, not many people went for it, even when it was only £10, had a customer who reguarly spends over £10, spend £9.70!!!! But - I think its a good thing to do, having different offers, as it helps to set you apart from other reps, your customers will notice that you do offers even if they don't take you up on them. Then if they chat with their friends, and their friend is like "o my avon rep is rubbish", they'll say "mine is lovely, she gives us free gifts and things". Personal service goes a long way in keeping your customers loyal to you

How much did your customer orders come to? How many brochures did you order? Paper bags etc? Anything for yourself from either HT or the main brochure?

I always keep my Avon money in a separate purse so that I know exactly were I am as its easy to spend it otherwise.

I'll have a proper look at the invoice later when the LO is in bed. I didn't order anything for myself just the next camp books and brochure bags.

I keep my Avon money in a cash box so it's kept separaete.

If this is your first campaign, then £7.50 will have been charged as the first installment of your admin fee.
Have a look through your invoice, and you should be able to see what you have bought eg books, samples, bags and anything you bought for yourself.
It is very difficult for us to explain without seeing what you ordered and what you delivered

I know the second installment of £7.50 was taken out. I will look at it properly later. Thanks:o

I found that some of my customers didn't even read my little newletters but being a good girl, I ordered them their freebies if they qualified. Strangely enough, all but one managed to detatch the freebie perfume sample I gave them in C6 so looks like my readership may have shot up (although all my MM for these perfumes look like they're being returned :mad:).

Had a situation with another rep mistakenly collecting my book and order recently but all resolved amicably. My customer of several years said lots of nice things to me about how she will never change rep and how reliable etc. I am - lovely to hear but embarassing

Clutch died on car today at major crossroads in town :eek: and have 20 canvassing brochures to collect tomorrow. Am working elsewhere when DD's in preschool so will have to pop her in pushchair (hate pushchairs) and hot foot it a mile or so to collect. Dropped 30 brochures the other day and for some reason, muscle in arm feels pulled from carrying them awkwardly. Orders are still down but plodding on. Expect those not ordering this time will want to from C7 but TBH I don't feel particularly inspired looking at it although the freebies with the make-up look good.

Still got this horrible dry cough (mainly nights) and looking rough at the moment. Need a break but fully booked with all my different jobs till end next week. Then my delivery comes on the monday so here we go again - roll on April :rotfl:
