    Hello everyone,
    Just wanted to ask what you all do with your brochures that you no longer need? I understand you can back order from the last campaign? Is that right?
    I can also see that some of us are not using the ‘find a rep’ system? Is it because you get cold callers? I have just inserted my details and I did get about three callers from there all genuine, but now that am reading these from here, am thinking is it such a good idea?
    Thanks for your anticipated replies…

    Backordering - yes, you can use a brochure again in the next campaign. Brochure 8 in C9, brochure 9 in C10 and so on...

    Find a Rep - I've been on there since it got re-jigged last year and haven't had cold-callers.
    I used to have my Avon turnover (sales) here. They've been removed because it's not appropriate to talk about those kinds of sales as if they're realistic for a new Rep to aim for. :( I signed up at the right time, right place, and was very lucky.

    Congratulations Lozza, girls are great. I am so in love with DD at the moment she's only 2 and growing up so fast - trying to hold on to every last bit of her before she starts pre school in September :eek: But then I have one of each and boys are equally fab, although he has already started school and boy does it show!!

    A potential new customer has asked me if Avon test products on animals. I thought they didn't but then I googled it and got very confused. Does anyone know the simple answer?

    Thanks x

    The products aren't tested in order to develop formulas or for safety reasons in order to be sold in the UK.

    However they have to submit them for testing to sell in certain markets. I don't think Avon have ever said which "markets" these are but China has been thrown out there as one of them.
