Avon has been a household name in the United States for over 125 years. Best known for its cosmetics and perfumes, Avon also sells jewelry and hair care products. According to the company, there are 6.2 million representatives who sell its products throughout the world. Avon estimates that it sells four tubes of lipstick every second, which explains the success of its business model that has enabled women to become self-supporting CEOs of their own business for over a century.

The multi-level marketing company sells its products through sales associates and catalogues. Avon associates can earn money in two ways: by directly selling Avon products, and by recruiting other members to help build their own Avon organization. The company offers free gifts, bonuses and incentives to high-earning associates. Avon's success lies in its unique business model coupled with 90% global product recognition. The company has also adapted to accommodate both customers and sales associates in a digitized age; nearly all Avon associates around the world use social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter to sell their products and interact with customers.

Review

Avon was founded in 1886 by David H. McConnell. He discovered that people were buying his books because of the fragrant rose oil that they received as a free gift. The popularity of the oil inspired him to switch businesses, and he founded The California Perfume Company. As the company grew, he opened a Canadian office. Deeply impressed with England's scenic Stratford upon Avon, McConnell changed the company's name to Avon in honor of the beautiful town.

Women who worked for Avon in the late 19th and early 20th centuries experienced job empowerment and economic mobility before they won the right to vote. Today, CEO Andrea Jung, who is the longest-tenured female CEO of any Fortune 500 company, runs Avon. The enormously successful company prides itself on its philanthropic endeavors, including its recent Avon Foundation for Women's Breast Cancer Campaign. Since its inception in 1992, the program has raised over $700 million dollars that were donated to research and development and clinical centers.

Pros and Cons

Avon products are readily available around the world. To purchase Avon products, you can find an Avon representative in your area online or in the phone book. Since products must be purchased from an Avon associate or from a sales catalogue, you might have to wait a few days or weeks to receive your products. Although you can purchase Avon products from associates online, Avon products are not sold at beauty supply chains or retail outlets.
