And last question, is the £7.50 a one-off fee on your first order?

No, it's a £15 fee, spread over your first two main orders.

Hi all
I've just done my first campaign...getting 440 pounds of orders so well chuffed but was just wandering how you girls work out your round. I feel like i need to wait for my order to come(next weds) before i can put books out but than this will only leave me 2 weeks to do approx 160 houses...i have been given 30 books by my area manager??
This will be a struggle to do but i feel it is too early to put another book through yet.
I have ordered 40 book for campaign 7 so it should be easier next time......

Do you happen to remember which streets you did first last time? You obviously don't want to drop back to the ones you only picked up a few days ago, but if you can do the earlier ones it may be OK.

I've got 260 houses and think I am going to be working on an every other campaign basis for them, just so they don't get me around every 2 weeks or so! Splitting the roads in 2, doing one lot split between current and back order and not doing the second set of roads that campaign, and then the following campaign giving the second set of roads the current and back order (ie the first set of roads' current brochures as the back order) so I get to recycle a bit too iyswim and keep the cost down. Obviously if people want to see it every campaign that's fine by me too!

This will be my second campaign (first doesn't really count cos I only had a week!) so playing it by ear and seeing how it goes.

Good luck!

When you arranged the party did you needs lots of products?

Not really. I ordered quite a few samples of lipsticks and perfumes, and had some bits and bobs already. I got a few things that were on special offer and just laid those out. Obviously already had some stuff for the raffle prizes but other than that I just laid out crisps, wine and LOTS of brochures!!!!

Hope that helps.

If it were me, I think that I would contact Avon direct if your rep won't help you out - you could be out earning a lot more for them if you had more streets couldn't you.

From what the sales leader tells our wife you are allowed only a certain amount of houses, does anybody know if this is true ? As we can take on quite a bit more

she lives 35 miles away, we dont understand it really

I know when my rep showed me a map of the area I live in I am in between two reps - one massive sales area ( it pays for all her holidays) and one women was a couple of streets so I only have my road to do! which I do about ten houses of.......

I would be worrried to do more - I can hardly keep up now

any how the point of this Deanos - maybe you are surrounded too? and would have to go further out?
