Three of my customers have begged me not to stop Avon so I have considered becoming friends and family only but not sure how this would work.
Do I have to do every campaign or can I just do every other one?
How would it work with the books? i want to avoid trudging around for books?

Yeah you can do every other one. Just tell whoever you joined with that you don't want territory anymore then they will remove it from your account. Missing out every other campaign is fine, just be careful when you order your brochures to check what ones you will need. If you're doing just friends & family you will probably be ordering less brochures, then you can get them to ring/text/email you with their order (or they pass you back the brochure if/when you see them before the order is due in). I've got a lot of my territory customers contacting me with their orders now, i did a polite notice in to see if some of them would due to the cost of fuel, and lots took me up on it. And it frees up a bit of my time as well which is always a good thing

Sorry for being stupid but how do you advertise the e-brochure on your facebook page?:)

i used to beable to do this but since they changed it i cant do it anymore - would love it too if someone could explain - thanks

Look at the first post of this thread, and click on the brochure link you want to advertise (towards the bottom of the post). If you copy the Web address of the ebrochure, then paste it into the box that you'd write a post in. It should then bring up the little Brochure icon and you can write something about it - like contact mr with any orders by x date. Then click post and voila it should be there for all your friends to see

To add to Lozza's post, if your customers are on the internet you may even get away without needing to order any books. Email them their own Personal Online Brochures - easy, peasy! :T

Glad you have some customers, who appreciate you. Avon is really versatile so as a F&F rep you may prefer to do alternate campaigns or you can even miss two campaigns, no probs. Don't miss three though otherwise Avon will charge you the set-up fee again when you next order.

If you don't order any books at all, Avon will include one with your order and charge you 55p for it. (It is returnable for credit using code 55 )

Remember, you will need to order £78+ to get discount.

I have an ex rep as a new customer and I know her fairly well, would you give her a discount on her orders or treat her as a normal customer? She hasn't asked but did joke about how she will have to get used to paying full price now.

Treat her as a normal customer; she should know that she had the option to continue as a Personal Rep i.e. just order out of HT for herself so if she chose not to then that was up to her.

My order is due in today but yesterday when I went on to add an order I clicked the view order amount button and it said
Total amount £0.00
Total earnings £0.00
Has anyone ever come across this before?
I can see my full order on the previous page I'm just wondering if it will affect my order.

Don't worry, your order will be invoiced as normal. Bit of a pain but it happens from time to time (Avon continually update the website so quirky things like this happen). Just make sure you hit whichever discount level you are hoping for (even if it means manually calculating it yourself.)

It did that to me on about my second order, asked on here and everybody reassured me it was fine..............which it was! Invoice came with correct figures on so no need to worry :-)

Thank you Marsden cuckoo and pips mum I spoke to my upliner?is that what they are called ) and she said the same.
Order now placed and all targets met.
I have delivered all the books for this next campaign(my hols) and have orders of £58 up to now so hopefully I will reach the MOV if not I will order stuff myself. Am loving the Viva perfume so may order a couple of those to take me over the target.
Thanks again for all your help.
