Avon - Hints and Tips?

LiverpoolLouise

Wowee silver you're very very organised! I like the idea of putting the forms in the good offers and also a tip from earlier about ring sizers. They are free so its defo worth a try!! Im feeling really positive about avon at the moment. Even though i dont make millions from it its defoworth it for the hobby and the potential (when i make an effort haha)! xx

I am due to deliver my Hamper this weekend. I thought it would be a good idea but cost me more than I anticipated. I am going to do a Christmas one and offer entries into a draw relating to how much people spend in the run up to it. I have also started to include a samples list in my brochures for people who have spent. This list details fragrances, lipsticks, anew and SSS items. Hopefully this will drum up more sales but not sure as I have only done it once. Only time will tell...

Hi,

I'm trying to design a flyer for samples. Can somebody tell me what Anew Beauty Youth Awakening Lipstick is? As I can't find the product in either my books or online. Its really making me angry lol

Hi Mikiki

What's making me angry is that I'd just composed a long reply, then my internet connection dropped out :mad: . It looks like the Youth Awakening Lipstick is yet another addition to the ever-expanding ANEW range - it's on p52-53 of brochure 14.
Like most people my C13 was absolute c**p. I just scraped up to the 25% level with the help of a few bits for myself. I've now completed a full year, and there is no doubt that C15-18 are the best, with 17 being the highest of all (£400 and something last year). Even the post-Christmas period, with the dreaded 2-weekly brochures, proved to be better than expected. I guess, after taking into account, brochures, gifts, samples etc, etc, I earn around £10 a week. However, the bright side of that is that it means I don't pay tax on my pension :j . I thoroughly enjoy doing it anyway, so everything I earn is a bonus!

this year has been a weird year for me with avon... C12 and C10 were my best ever and I am just finishing C13 having just scraped my 25%

I have found that I can't even backorder from C12 this time as it seems customers who have ordered, have ordered new or sale items(!) There are times when Avon really doesn't help us(!)

Does anyone run their customers brochures to co-incide with their copy of the Hello tomorrow magazine? I seem to be two books behind for example customer is looking at C13 and I have HT15, and by the time customer is on C15 I will not be able to order at the discounted prices. I guess it is pot luck and knowing what your customer will buy but I can not afford to do this. I have been contemplating running a couple of customer books at the same time to try and catch up, but wonder if this is worth it. Any thoughts?

Yeah, I think everyones like that, so that Avon can make more money!

You're supposed to buy to demonstate to buy up interest for an item with your customers. But I just buy for myself

Thanks Mikiki. It is so annoying because I don't have the money to buy on the offchance that I can sell on to the customers. I do show it to my Mum who has bought loads out of it, but otherwise it is pretty much useless to me...
