Avon

For more than one hundred twenty years, Avon has been raising the confidence of, and building bonds with women. Since its inception, Avon has offered dynamic opportunities through direct sales to women who want to earn a living, improve their life, and reach their financial goals. Cosmetics, skincare and fragrances are the basics of Avon sales. The largest direct sales company of beauty products, Avon primarily distributes its products through the almost six million “Avon Representatives”. In addition to the direct sales representatives, Avon Products, Inc. employs more than forty-two thousand diverse people around the world. 

In 1886, a twenty-eight year old David McConnell opened a perfume company in New York to manufacture and ship fragrances. Little did he know at that time, that his company would grow into the multi-billion dollar sales company it is today. Avon is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange and its identifying trade symbol is AVP. Today, Avon offers more than simply beauty items for women. They have a complete offering of beauty products including cosmetics, fragrances, and skin care for women and men. Apparel, jewelry, watches and other accessories are also available from your Avon representative. Rounding out the companies’ goods are gifts, decorative items and products for the home. There is something for everyone at Avon. 

Avon formalized its commitment to philanthropy and women in 1955, with the formation of the Avon Foundation. Beginning with a single four hundred dollar scholarship, the Foundation has grown considerably. Today, the Avon Foundation focuses on such women’s issues as breast cancer and domestic violence.  An unparalleled commitment to the delivery of safe and useful products to people throughout the world remains the number one priority of the Avon company. Backed by a one hundred percent guarantee, all the products are made of the highest quality ingredients to deliver the promised results.
