Thanks lozza. Thought I had seen that they would be on page one, but couldn't find the HT6 one. Having a stressful week - funeral tomorrow, work Wed, funeral Thurs and baby turns 1 on Friday...
Said baby seems to have stolen HT mag and i can't find it anywhere :mad:

Good luck with all that....

As for HT6, you should be able to view it on your Avon website i.e. if you 'Go To Next Step' after inputting your order. It gives you an E-version of both your current and previous HT. Click on anything you want to add to your order.

I offered a 10% discount on all book orders (quite a few of the people, who came to my party last week already have their own Avon ladies but it still tempted a few to take a book :T)

As for the raffle, I put a few freebies in one of the vanity cases I also managed to get free and my party ladies decided to let the winners chose two items so quite a lot won i.e. rather than just one person.

Lipstick samples are also very popular at parties - apparently, they're ideal for taking out at night i.e. fit into the tiny handbags. Buying the new Kiss cards, if not too late for you, might be worth thinking about? Talking of which, it looks like to get a free full size one, our customers need to contact their reps. Has anyone looked into what we're supposed to do yet?

Good luck with your party, CL.

Thankyou! was thinking of putting a few bits in with the vanity bag thing! got a few things i've brought thru creative ordering! and got some bits left over from christmas which havent sent back due to not ordering anything!

Get as many as you can i.e. half a box full of each price point wouldn't go amiss.;)

As for a T-shirt, I got mine from Vistaprint - designed my own so they match my calling cards and postcards.

thanks MC! will look in the HT book's for bits and pieces! bit of variety!

I never thought of vistaprint for the t-shirts! was looking at the one in HT book! but would prob look better if they matched business cards!

Yes, difficult decision; the freebies are deffo worth having in my book. If it's the clinical eyelift or the Ultimate eye cream your customer has ordered then you have another difficult decision.... they usually appear in HT clearance.

Thanks will be checking that too x

Yep bought it for myself as well as the 125 anniversary pack on the next page... not my fault that people when went and ordered 3 items that are in those 2 sets :A Which means that the bag is paid for and a bit of the 125 thing too!

Hello fellow Reps,

Newbies Rep here *WAVES*

I just signed up today and already have a good few quieries to ask your expertize on.

1. I was given 40 brochures and I have Carpol Tunnel Syndrome which makes it very painful to write details on order forms for 40 brochures. Is there an easier way of doing this? As I know some ppl have special stickers printed out but not sure how to do this.

2. Realistically how much can I anticipate to make on my 1st campaign?

3. I know loadsa ppl who would love to be Avon reps. Would I get a commision if I reccomended them?

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks SG!

with the bargin box how many items did you get to go in them?

as for the antler round glam box that sounds like a brill idea.. may do that! i've got a few weeks to get everything together, nothing like getting prepared!! seeings as im soo unorganised!
want to make this the best stall i've had! and hopefully it will pay off!

what does everyone think about wearing an avon t-shirt that's in the book? or is it not worth it???

I had quite a few mascaras, nail varnishes and body lotions that I had accumulated as freebies, then I just added some of the £1 lip balms and some of the colour trend stuff which you can normally get as 3 for £5 or something.

As for the t-shirt, I ordered one through Vistaprint. Used the design that was on my free business cards too so it wasn't obviously Avon but was still professional looking

So you didn't 'pull' then?! :rotfl:

Yes, look forward to meeting up at some point; we seem to agree in a lot of areas.

Strangely enough I met my ASM leaving as I was arriving. She mentioned a SL meeting shortly in South Molton but am 408 so think that's a different area from you. Think I will make the effort; am not normally one for all these meetings but they do seem to 'gee' you up. :T

I am in 407, who is your ASM? Mine is all the way up in Northampton!!! Apparently I am in a postal area!!! So typical as the border to the ASM that lives in Exeter (who I have met and is lovely) is just the end of my road :mad:
