MIA: So Very Sorry!

Hey everybody,

I have been missing for a long time now, and I am aware that there have been promises of videos and such that have not come about.  For that, I can only apologise - as it turns out, my video editing software is not compatible with my boyfriend's phone camera software, so I have had to give up on videos for now.

Due to snow and icy conditions, I have also been unable to get up to my round on Alexandra Terrace - the hill has been far too dangerous to risk taking my car up and carrying everyone's deliveries up the hill in the snow was also far too dangerous.  I am going to attempt deliveries today by foot.

Also, due to lack of interest, and my inability to sell tickets due to snow and general bad weather, the raffle competition has been postponed until further notice.

Sorry again everyone :-(

Campaign 17 Highlights

As seen in the Customer info-sheet included with every brochure! :-)

Welcome to Campaign 17!


Avon’s Christmas Capers continue this campaign with a whole host of beautiful gifts for you to muse over. Don’t miss our exclusive brand name products and our fantabulous winter warmers that will make this Christmas perfect for everyone! Our Christmas Shop has items dotted throughout the brochure, so make sure to leave no page unturned!

New fragrances Bond Girl Forever and Secret Fantasy are sure to be a hit this season, and with a free watch thrown in when you spend £12 or more on fragrance, you know you’re getting a great deal! Secret Fantasy is my favourite - feminine and innocent, it comes in an adorable pink bottle with a cute key charm. While it does suit younger ladies more, don’t be put off! It will definitely make a gorgeous gift for your teenage daughter or granddaughter this!

Do NOT miss the Luxe Lace collection – lace was a massive hit on the catwalks this season, so get ready to go smokey eyed and pretty lipped for a glamorous and darkly sexy winter look.


On another note:

Check out the BOGOF offer on charms on page 222.  I didn't mention this in the info-sheet, but I would definately get them now - my personal favourites are the butterfly and the snowflake :-)  Anyone fancy buying me a cheap Christmas present?!  I jest, but seriously, these are so cute and versatile - bracelets, necklaces, phone charms...  You name, you can probably use it there!

Please Please PLEASE read this, if you read nothing else!

If there is ONE THING you buy to decorate your tree this Christmas, make it the Crusade Christmas Bauble, found on the inside back cover of C17.  Made of glass and decorated with glitter, a snowflake design and a polysatin pink ribbon inside, this bauble is a beautiful way to help all those beautiful women and their families who are struggling with breast cancer.  £1.50 from every bauble sold will go to Breakthrough Breast Cancer, with the rest distributed between other not-for-profit charities.

Working together since 1992, £15 million has been raised so far with Avon's Breast Cancer Crusade, and with your continued support, you can help Avon to raise even more for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

Show your support this Christmas.
Wear Pink with Pride.
Help us to Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer.

Christmas Raffle 2010

Christmas Raffle 2010

Starting from Campaign 16 and running all the way through to Campaign 01 (just before Christmas), I am going to be giving all my customers the chance to enter into a special Christmas Raffle.  There will be three prizes, the contents of which will be announced shortly.  But just to whet your appetite, I can say that the first place prize will be an Avon gift basket, put together by yours truly, and that it will include a Francesca watch.  This gift basket would make a lovely present to a loved one, especially as it will arrive on your doorstep before Christmas!  Other prizes will include items from the Planet Spa, Senses and Skin So Soft ranges, as well as cute accessories and jewellery items.

All you have to do is spend at least £5 in the brochure and you will receive one ticket.  You will then receive a ticket for every £5 you spend over the initial £5 too!  You can collect tickets from each of the four Christmas brochures, there are no restrictions to what you can use to make up your minimum spend, and there is no limit to how much you can spend.

You can also buy tickets without spending in the brochure!  Each ticket costs 25p, or you can buy a strip of five for £1.

That's not all though, a percentage of the profits will be donated to a charity of your choosing, so keep your eyes peeled for the poll which will be provided soon.

The draw will take place on Monday the 13th of December, which is also my last Avon delivery date before Christmas.
