    My own street is the most successful out of all the streets I do, and its only half built so hoping for more customers in a years time :D

    I don't seem to do well at all on any of my other streets though :( I wounder maybe if its got something to do with the fact that the people on my street can always come see me if they want anything :)

    Possibly. I have one customer who is really good for me. She has given the book to her niece and neighbour. (the neighbour did order before but never paid for the stuff so was struck off. if she pays via this customer then I have no problem). She even drops the orders through my door and has come to collect them as well. She did Avon last year but gave up as she did not have enough time. She has mentioned to me about the freebies given at christmas time warning to order them early in fear that they are not available nearer the time. Has anyone else got any advice with the run up to christmas - I see that there are people who have been working on this for some time now and wonder what ideas they have?

    I was quite new at Christmas last year, so hadn't got myself into gear really. I did £480 on C17 without doing anything special. In all honesty, I don't find samples help sales at all, but perhaps that's just my area. I did buy some cheap Xmas cards and give everyone who had ordered a card and a perfume sample.........however, I got one or two of them back with the next book :rolleyes: !!!
    Anyone else looked at HT16 - press on eyeshadow? Why??????? :confused:

    Also, I noticed that the Lorena Initial Necklace (C14 & 15) stops at letter T. Sorry Ursula, Vanessa, Wendy, Yvonne and Zoe but you're second class citizens in Avonland :D

    Rage In Eden - you must have the magic touch. I have had 21 people look at my ebay item but no replies. Feeling a bit down at the moment.

    Well let's see if they order anything first ;) Actually I had been thinking all weekend "might as well take it off it's been no use" so I suggest you start thinking that as well :D
