Updates! Updates! Updates! Things You'll Want to Know!
Hi everyone!
Thank you for reading our blog entry for today! We have information regarding 4 updates to what's been going on with Consultant Depot!
Update #1:
Our Mystery Mailing Flyer program will be extending it's services to include the option to print on both sides of the paper instead of just 1-page! Beginning with the October mailing, you will have the choice to have us send a 1-page flyer/newsletter of your design to your customers and/or downline members for $.40 each (same price as it's been) ~OR~ choose the 2-page option for only $.45 each. Consultant Depot's Mystery Mailings are sent on a monthly basis with the deadlines on the 27th of every month. They are then mailed no later than the 3rd of the following month in an envelope with your return address. For more information regarding this program - please visit http://www.consultantdepot.com/services/mystery_mailing.aspx.
Update #2:
We are extending the deadline to get your guess in for when Consultant Depot will have saved our clients a total of $100,000 (since the re-launch of our website on April 25th) at the USPS for your chance to win $10.00 in Free mailing credits by 1 week until September 7th (Adam's B-day)! Any Avon Representative can take a guess, even if they have not yet registered at http://www.consultantdepot.com, however, you will want to be a member of our Newsletter mailing list to know if you are a winner! You can sign up for that on our homepage at no cost or obligation.
To post your guess of the day that we'll hit $100,000 in savings (we're already over the half-way point!), please visit this blog entry and post your full name and your guess at:
http://www.consultantdepot.com/blog/2006/08/100000-guess-contest-earn-10-free.html
Update #3:
About a month and a half ago, our Alexa.com website ranking was at 1,151,954 out of all the websites in the world. We were hoping to break the 900,000 mark by the end of July and we did - we hit 743,142! The most recent updates have come out and our 3-month average is now ranked at 255,409!! We've gone up 1,582,923 spots in 3 months and we find this astonishingly rewarding and wonderful! Thank you for helping us spread the word about Consultant Depot! It's a blessing to help so many representatives across the country.

How We Helped a Client Get a Dog for Free!
Hi Everyone!
I received an email from one of our clients - Jessica Simmons - and she shared a story with us about how she was able to realize one of her dreams - partly due to Consultant Depot! It's probably best if I let her tell the story - so here is the story - prefaced by a short paragraph from Jessica to us. (By the way - she gave us her permission to share with our readers because we think it's such a cute story!)
Hey Carrie! After I sent this to all my friends and family I thought the very best person I could send it to would be you! If it weren't for your services I wouldn't have this customer. She doesn't usually order often and she lives far enough away that I wouldn't personally drive that far just to drop off a brochure. Because of your services I now have a new family member! (not to mention my loyal customers...) lol How's that for life altering! haha!
Thanks again for offering such a wonderful service to your fellow reps!
Jessica Simmons
The Story
So I was out doing my Avon deliveries on Saturday and my last stop was at one of my favorite houses to visit. This lady practically has a zoo with all of her different animals but what I really love are the Shih tzu dogs she breeds. Unfortunately these are about $600 a piece so there is no way I was getting one anytime in the near future - but their still fun to play with!
Well anyhow we (of course) started talking about our animals, My cat just had kittens that day (there is still one that's not spoken for if anyone is interested!) and My dog Daisy is trying to be a momma to the cats.... well anyhow something about Daisy wanting to be a mom and my customer just blurted out "Do you want a puppy".... This is something we have done several times, but I just can't afford it.... Well she went on to tell me that she wasn't able to find a suitable buyer and she is going to be having surgery - she needs the dog to a new home NOW. Needless to say we got a new puppy that day!
We decided on the name HiJinks (we call him jinks)- the black markings around is face make him look like he has been getting into something he shouldn't so he got his name because he looks like he's into mischief. He is purebred and we have the records of 5 generations back, we will probably stud him out in a couple of years (but that is a wait and see right now) Anyhow for the official paperwork his name will be HiJinks on Quincy.... All the dogs have fancy names ... it's very strange! lol He's only 3 months old and still a baby. But he's pretty much potty trained and he is mostly silent! He did yip a couple times when he met daisy but (as you'll see) they are getting along fine.
Well so now our family has 9 boys and 5 girls... besides the 6 humans we have 5 cats (*VERY* temporary) and 2 dogs! We are DONE!
We hope you enjoyed this story as much as we did - thank you to Jessica for sharing this with us!

Hi everyone!
We were reviewing the latest reports today and we thought we would share the latest statistic! With our new website, we now have the ability to track how much MONEY Consultant Depot has saved our clients compared to sending the brochures individually through the USPS! Since April 25th of this year, as of today we have saved our clients $53366.34!! Isn't that wonderful?
When do you think we'll reach $100,000? Post your guess in the comments section of this blog and if you choose the correct date - we'll award you with 10 FREE mailing credits to use with your Consultant Depot account! Only posts to this blog will count and multiple winners can win! One guess per person and please post your first and last name with your entry. You don't have to currently be a client of Consultant Depot to win - but if you aren't, please join our email newsletter at http://www.consultantdepot.com in order to know if you have are a winner!
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Please have your guess posted by the end of the day September 7th (Adam's B-day!) to have it count towards the contest!
May the best guess win! The ultimate reward, though, is the extra money our clients find in their pockets by choosing to use our Avon brochure mailing services as opposed to sending them out individually through the post office and spending more hard-earned money than you need!
Have a great week!
To Success!

A Belated Reverse Birthday Gift
Hi everyone!
My birthday was yesterday on the 8th of August. It was a wonderful day as the 4 of us went to the Columbus Zoo and my husband surprised me with a babysitter and dinner out at a local mexican restaurant that we've had our eye on since we moved here but hadn't yet visited! The best part was that I was still carded for my margarita on my 30th birthday! I do look young for my age - I believe I owe a big part of that, however, to Avon products that I've been using for the past 4 years! I had high hopes on winning the lottery last night - but to no avail. Adam also surprised me with an Ipod Nano for me to listen to all my favorite tunes on the go! I have recently become addicted to Internet Radio shows and soak up all that I can while working away.
Enough about that stuff - let's get to the good stuff! We thought we'd announce a late reverse birthday gift to all of our clients! It's 2 little features that we added to our website that may save you a lot of time!
The first feature is that if you are submitting your payment via your stored Paypal account - you should now automatically return to our website with your confirmation page displayed, without having to click 'Return to Merchant'! We hope you enjoy this new feature as it's so vital that you return back to our website so that your order gets copied over to our main database! Enjoy!
The second feature is on our 'Send Materials' page of our website. You will now see 2 buttons towards the bottom of your customer list that say 'UnCheck All' and 'Check All.' This means that you no longer have to uncheck each of your customers individually when you are adding to an order already submitted or are sending a brochure only to a few on your customer list! You still have the ability to hand check and uncheck - but this will help expedite the process a bit!
Enjoy your reverse birthday gift from all of us at Consultant Depot!
A week - Campaign 19 deadline is THIS Friday, August 11th by 10pm EST.
TS - Campaign 21 deadline is THIS Friday, August 11th by 10pm EST.
B week - Campaign 19 deadline is next Friday, August 18th by 10pm EST.
Have a great remainder of the week!
To Success!
