I've just read in HT that the Apple and Oat Protein Spray is being discontinued

I noticed that too its one of my best sellers :eek:

I do actually sell alot of the Anew stuff. I must have the greatest road in Avon history! 20 houses and 11 of the houses have ordered before, 3 of them seem to worship Anew lol everytime something new comes out the snatch it right up lol.

Does anyone else receive phone calls from Avon about the HT best seller money making packs? I just did and they wanted me to buy 5 of the rejuvenate anew item. When I said that I wanted to wait to see if anyone would buy it, they got a bit stressed saying that I could buy 3/4 and then return them if not required. I told them that I still wasn't interested and the phone call abruptly finished. I know everyone works to commission but is there any excuse for rudeness!

I havent, but my mum does nearly every month. When she says shes not interested they say "well, if you don't sell them just return them" but its a bit of a farce when she knows they wont sell but the only way for them to leave her alone a few weeks is to say yes.

Usually I end up buying them off her if one of my customers orders them and she sends the rest back grrr.

I dont understand why they discontinue the stuff that sells really well!!! and stick a load of unsellable crap in instead. cant they see they'd do better if they kept the popular stuff in and i mean our version of popular- the things that people do actually want, rather than their version of 'popular' ie expensive items that arent worth the money and noooooo-one wants! grrrrr

mind u saying that i do sell quite a bit of Anew stuff, but my customers favourites keep being wiped out

Is there no way that we can get this message through to Avon? It doesn't make any business sense to discontinue popular items (the ones we actually sell) and replace them with ones which are not so well received.

I see that they have bought back a couple of ranges due to popular demand and wonder how this has happened????

There has to be a way to send this message to someone at Avon who has some influence. not sure who or where though?

there probably is but we'll probably just get a robot reply as usual

Lissa77

Yeah, I know. Shame that we can not actually contact a person - you know like in the old days where you spoke to people instead of machines and you never received an automated email. Oh well - I guess they will never know.

All we can do is just keep on trying (or keep on swimming, like out of Nemo). Funny now I said that I do like a very little fish in a very big ocean of Avon....

What does everyone think of the Strawberry naturals stuff - smells like candyfloss to me.

I'm absolutely mad about the Strawberry & Guava Naturals stuff! I got the room and linen spray when it was on 4 for £5 (or £3.75 rather) and I'm mental about having a house the smells of strawberries lol. I'm getting the shower gel and body lotion for myself out of brochure 13 (next order). The Naturals stuff is on 3 for £4 which is £1 each to us. See what I mean about the HT clearance section now? Why buy old stuff at £1 each when you can buy current stuff for the same price lol.

Oh, and I was disgusted to see shampoo in HT14 at £1.25 a bottle. It's only 94p each for all the current shampoos and conditioner in brochure 11!

Sorry, I started on with the Strawberries didn't I? Okay, well ending with the strawberries, I quite liked the idea of having strawberries on me knicks but then decided it possibly wouldn't be a mature purchasing decision.

If it helps I am one of the lucky/unlucky ones that has not been told to submit my order for Campaign 12 yet, so if you still want anything from Brochure 11 let me know and I can order it for you. I will then send to you.

This goes for all campaigns. I am sure I am one of the latter half of people who has to order, so if there are any items that you require I can always try to order it for you.

I'm on the later round too. My camp 12 (with camp 11) order isn't due to be submitted until August 4.

Isn't it strange that some people, I believe, have already had to submit their orders for this campaign and yet like us there are some that haven't. I am sure it is due to demand, but my order date is 28July. How does it all work around Christmas I wonder? It must leave you quite tight with time???
