I've never been in the top three before, so SILVER. Aiden_mama, was that your campaign 3 delivery? I put out both books 3 and 4 and have had hardly any interest in 4. Mustn't be much in it! Anyway, unless I'm back here on Monday griping about a complete stuffup with my campaign 3 delivery, I would like to wish all of you a very merry christmas and for those who don't celebrate christmas, have a lovely relaxing time!

Bronze Well my last two campaigns have been a total waste of time!! I put in my order last night for campaign 4 and its the worst order i have ever had to put it i had to boost it up with stuff for myself :S I am actually going to give up one of my areas which is further from home and recanvas my area close to my house which I can walk, problem is our district manager has now been shipped off to another area and we have stand in managers who are flat out and before we were able to get our managers spare books etc and if i recanvas with books i am going to have to buy them :S arghh. Anyway over the whole Avon thing right now, its raining its yukky and I managed an hour sleep Happy New Year All Leisa

You're not alone, Leisa-Jane! Campaign 4 for me was also disastrous. 3 customers! Although it was supposedly a new year sale catalogue - I think the whole book was a bit boring to be honest and the bargains were much better in the campaign 3 book. I also topped the order up with the 'stationery' I needed. I ordered enough to keep me going for the next year I think! Why not recanvass with the campaign 4 books you already have and if anyone is interested great, just backorder - if no one is interested, nothing lost. I only found out in mid-Dec that extra books were available when my district manager sent me an sms saying she had plenty and asked if I wanted any to recanvass. Yeah like I would have time one week out from christmas to recanvass. happy new year - let's hope business improves!

Hi ladies Unfortunately everyone at this time of year will not be having good campiagns, everyone is recovering frim Christmas, going on holidays and getting kids ready to go back to school. This is the low period which is why we are given the incentive of the knife set is you place an order every campaign in this low period. Please don't get dishearted by your sales they should pick up in the nest couple of campaigns. Mandy

Thanks rubylilysmum. I'm not disheartened - I know that every business is cyclical - I was just a bit surprised - I expected a fairly big downturn as I had in previous campaigns immediately after christmas but in comparing 04/2010 to 04/2011 I am down 20 customers and have dropped from over $500 in sales to $100 this time. Still I'll pick myself up, dust myself off and keep going!

Happy New Year everyone.... Did anyone else have a "laugh" reading the apology from Avon management about the preChristmas fiasco? Not only that, but I'm now on my second lost order in 4 campaigns. I was so ready to jump in to the New Year & make some $$$, & now have to grovel & apologise to my customers again & run around even more to get the next lot of orders in before they have even recieved their previous order. If Avon think I'm paying for goods I haven't received they can think again! Do you think they'll reimburse me for all the phone calls & extra fuel? Thanks for the vent ladies, funny there's still no 2 way communication on the new Avon site isn't it

sabella, do you mean that the whole order was lost on the new system, or was lost during delivery? Whichever way it happened that's terrible. I'm just so cheesed off at the moment, a number of items that were shorted in campaign 2 and promised in the next order, then shorted again and once more promised in the next order (campaign 4), I have now been advised are discontinued and no longer available. Why not say so the first time. I've been advising customers not just yet, not just yet, sorry not at all. Can you believe I am still waiting on 2 mascaras I ordered in campaign 1!

I know, this Christmas period has been just THE WORST for shorts. I was so cross because I have about $100 of orders that didn't come in time & now the customers don't want them of course. I'm not going to delete them from my order & when they come I'll send them right back for a credit - just to give Avon a taste of all the stuffing around they've given me! & I still haven't got my C4 order, & have to put in my C5 order on Sun.... I was needing those $$ to pay for school hol activities http://www.essentialbaby.com.au/forums/sty...icons/icon7.gif. They won't tell me what happened with my lost order, I had to wait for it to be 7 days late & they say they've sent out a replacement on Mon, but THAT hasn't arrived yet either. Grrrrr. I think Avon will be losing a lot of reps if they can't supply what's in the catalogs This post has been edited by sabella: 21/01/2011, 10:10 AM
