Catalogue Postings

We do not recommended - that you order hundreds of catalogues and post them through doors in the neighborhood. Whilst you can get orders the possibilities of receiving a good response is not very high, rather use your old Catalogues for this purpose.

If there isn't any interest then you haven't lost anything.

£3.95 for an order value up to £105

Oriflame is best sold, when it is introduced to new people, person to person. If they have used the product already, current customers.

Give some samples to people who might be interested but aren't sure, let them try and see for themselves. You will usually end up getting orders when the samples have been tested.

When Starting off, you can introduce Oriflame products to your family, close friends and people around you. Make use of the products yourself and tell your potential customers why you like certain products, refer to your catalogue or website for further information.

Ask your family and friends who they know who might be interested. If you have a customer or potential client who isn't very interested ask them if they know someone who is, give them some samples, you never know they might end up bringing you a Diamond.

Although your sales may start slowly, if you concentrate on selling skincare products, helping people to succeed with their business in your group or both, your sales and income will grow and become steady.

Will I have to place an order every catalogue?

No you do not, however some, if not all your customers do or will be expecting to see a new catalogue. If they know you are reliable they will then would be more likely to buy regularly from you.
Also, if you don’t sell you could be losing out on money that you could be earning.

If you do not place an order for 12 consecutive months you will then cease to be a consultant and will need to re-register.

Can I still join if I only want to order for myself and family?

Yes, Many of our consultants have become very successful by taking a few catalogues to work or around family and friends.
Initially though, work colleagues may show little interest at first, but soon however they will begin to notice, either from the samples you provide them, or your different appearance, if you use the products on a regular basis as you are advertising at the same time as looking or feeling great. Sales will be the result and with the passage of time, sales will grow and grow on a regular basis.

Success is what happens when you look good and feel great in what you do and is depending on the person a byproduct of EFFORT.

With a little effort over time you can be very successful if you are commited to being Paitent and focused

There is not, however you will not receive any discount if you only place a single order for less than £50 and will need to pay for delivery costs. If you place orders with a total value of more than £50 during a single catalogue you will receive your discounts and FREE gift if your order qualifies.

How much money could I make?

How do I pay for my products that I have ordered?

Your invoice and a giro will be included in the box of products you receive by courier.

You can pay by posting the Giro in an envelope with your cheque stapled to the tear off Giro section of the invoice.

A Direct debit can be setup to your account.

You can call the Oriflame Customer services - 08452302255 or Oriflame Order line 08452302266 and pay by credit or debit card.

You can also pay at your bank or post office - some banks and post office will charge for this service though.

Can customers pay by Credit/Debit card or other method of payment?

Yes, it all depends on what access the customer has or what methods of payment they feel comfortable with.

Always check first with your customer(s) what methods of payments they are able to do, or feel comfortable with.

If the customer is happy with Credit/ Debit cards and providing their details, Oriflame require the 16 numbers on the front (the long number on the card) and the Expiry date. That is all.

You then call Oriflame on 08452302255 or 08452302266

and submit the details to pay the amount that the customer owes and your consultant ID. They will have a reference or Authorisation number for you and the transaction will show up on the customers statement.

If the customer wants to pay themselves, rather provide them with only your Account name - Account number + Sort code and Bank name, for fund transfers. Check that this has been done before posting or handing over of products.

A Cheque is usually the easiest for the customer, you can order the products before or after the funds clear, it is your choice depending on how well you know the customer who is ordering, (Oriflame offer a 3 month return policy on products) you can return them for a full refund if they do not want them see (Filling out a Return form).

If you aren't familiar with your customer, have them "guarantee" the Cheque for you.

This is done by having the customer write on the back of the cheque. The 16 digit card number and the customer’s home address.

If you are posting, remember to include the postage charge in the total cost for the customer.

Another alternative is Paypal Payments.
