I skipped mine as I only had 1 order after handing out 200 brochures. I am not making anything on Avon these days. Are there others that are having the same trouble? I have to gain some more customers soon or I will have to give it up. Every gimmick I have had just did not work out. My phone a thon was zippo too. I was going to do the fair but it costs $25 this year instead of $5. I only ordered 20 brochures for campaign 15 just enough to give out to my regulars. Sad part about it is I still am in the hole with the campaign 13 books that got into the hands of people and I even to all day saturday to call each and every one of them. Hugs

I understand what you are saying!! My C13 has gone better than usual. I am not even trying this campaign and I have hit 275 already. I guess that just proves that it is luck of the draw sometimes!! C14 starts for me on the 22nd and I am hoping it is HUGE!!! The taste of PC starts for it, so I really wish my luck would have waited until C14. You need $400 per camp to win it, and with what I have saved up for what I personally want plus if I would have had these sales, I would be ridiculously close!!! Plus, I have a whole week left in C13 yet.... weird how it works!!

I'm just now in C-13. I'm up to 140 but I'm having a raffle and I had to restock samples so most of the 140 is mine! LOL Hope it gets better. I'm handing out books tomorrow. :) Better luck in 14 for you!

I have only handed out a few books so far, my C12 was late because I am having health problems, and then UPS or someone from the warehouse, took half of my order. My boxes showed up taped up and nothing but three markalog's were in it. I know Avon don't just put three small markalogs in a huge box to ship. Been selling Avon long enough to know that.
But I also know that each campaign can be different. Though I have no order's yet but one for C13 I know that I will have more before it is due. Things will get better, you said you passed out 200 books, try a different neighborhood next time. Ask your upline or DM if they have any extra books. They will be happy to give some to you. Even old books that you can put on them (Call for Current Brochure or Pricing) Things will get better, it takes awhile to build any type of business. Once people see you are going to be a rep and be a rep for a long time, you will start to see the customer's pour in.
Use the products so you can tell your customers honestly about them. Be honest and never lie about products and you will gain customer's who have never used Avon. Good luck, have a great AVON day and keep your head up, things will get better.

You are not the only one making it. Here where I am at inwv, we have a husband wife team who are constantly recruiting, turning customers into consultants , then in turn take businesses from other reps. Live in a samll area. But , I mainly order for my self and have a few customers who are loyal. It is a hard buisness to make money at, especially when everyone sells it. First of all you must live in a big area. I would not hand out so many brochures. I would experiment a bit and keep getting brochures for those customers you do have. Hand them out at business places or whomever you engage conversation with and see what happens.
