История успеха AVON насчитывает более 120 лет.В 1886 году удачливый коммерсант Дейвид Макконнел основал Калифорнийскую Парфюмерную Компанию. Которая на начальном этапе предлагала покупателям только 5 ароматов: Фиалка, Гиацинт, Гелиотроп, Ландыш, Белая роза. Идея заняться парфюмерным бизнесом пришла в голову Дэвиду МакКоннеллу, когда он занимался продажей книг и, чтобы заинтересовать потенциальных покупательниц, начал вкладывать в заказы духи. Вскоре он понял, что маленькие флакончики интересуют его клиенток не меньше, чем модные романы.

Постепенно, с развитием бизнеса, Дейвид нанял первого полномочного агента — миссис Алби. Эта удивительная женщина опередила свое время, разработав и внедрив метод продаж клиентам через сеть распространителей (метод прямых продаж).

Компания AVON, в начале своего существования имела название «Духи Калифорнии». В 1890 году, «Эйвон» насчитывала 5000 сотрудников. А в 1929 году появилось название AVON. В 1932 году был официально утверждён товарный знак. В 1939 году полное название компании звучало «Avon Products, Inc.» и с тех пор не меняется. Вместе с этим, расширился ассортимент выпускаемой продукции.

Почему Эйвон?
Легенда гласит, что однажды, приехав в Англию, Макконнел побывал в Стратфорде на Эйвоне — родном городе Уильяма Шекспира. Поэзия и красота древнего английского графства навсегда остались в его памяти. А название реки, на которой располагается город, со временем стало именем компании.

1963 год ознаменован тем, что компания начала выпускать ювелирные изделия AVON. Но вначале эти украшения предлагались в качестве подарка к покупке. Очень быстро бижутерия Avon стала популярной среди покупательниц и компания начала производить линии ювелирных изделий для продажи.

Экспериментальные продажи ювелирных изделий «Эйвон» начались в 1965 году.

Производство украшений было запущено в 1971 году. Все предметы без исключения маркировались маркировкой Avon. С 1980 по 1984 компания Avon принадлежит Tiffany and Co. Компания привлекала к разработке украшений ювелирных дизайнеров, известные компании и звезд кино. Поэтому среди авторов дизайна бижутерии Avon можно найти Kremenz, Barrera, Louis Feraud, Trifari, Celia Sebiri, Kenneth Jay Lane, Elizabeth Taylor и многих других. Одной из самых известных была коллекция, созданная при участии Элизабет Тейлор, она называлась «Elizabeth Taylor Fashion Jewelry Collection for Avon». Эта коллекция выпускалась в течении трёх лет, с 1993 по 1996 года, её тематикой были в основном животные. На данный момент все украшения из коллекции «Elizabeth Taylor Fashion Jewelry Collection for Avon» считаются коллекционными.

Avon History – Avon Products and Mr. David McConnell

THE Avon was created in the U.S.A. more than 120 years ago by a 28-year-old door-to-door book seller, Mr. David McConnell.

He found that rose oil perfumes, which he offered his clients as an added incentive, were the main reason women bought his books.

The scenario was set for him to fulfill a big dream, a line of high-quality products, sold by a vast network of entrepreneurs, directly from the manufacturer to the homes of consumers.

The California perfume company was founded with a line of five floral fragrances, and a range of everyday essentials. All items were backed by an unconditional ‘Money Back Guarantee’ – a guarantee still offered by Avon today.

In the early days, products were sold to customers with the help of a sample kit. As the product range grew, the company published its first brochure after about ten years, a business tool that is now synonymous with Avon.

The world of the first “Avon Lady”

Ms. P.F.E. Albee of Winchester, New Hampshire, was hired by Mr. McConnell in 1886 to help develop the advance sale model, which would become the foundation of a global business.

Mrs. Albee sold products and recruited other women as agents, becoming the standard role model for any Avon Representative today.

David McConnell offered a unique way for women to take control of their lives and move towards economic independence, long before women were allowed to vote, and when they were expected to stay indoors instead of earning. life.

Avon christening

With global aspirations and, during a visit to England, McConnell was surprised by the beauty of the landscape surrounding Stratford-on-Avon, and introduced a line of products under the Avon name, comprised of a toothbrush, talcum powder, and ‘ vanity’. In 1939, the company name was changed to Avon Products Inc.

With the 1950s becoming the era of television, the famous ‘ding dong – Avon’ called ‘first fanfare’ was first heard on US television in 1954. More with global expansion was accelerated at last part of the decade, paving the way for entry into Europe.

Like most small western cities, Avon’s history reflects man’s turbulent relationships with the environment.

In the second half of the 19th century and for much of the first half of the 20th century, small Western communities, organized around natural resources, timber, mining, soil, and water, were forced to launch themselves under the effects of the wave. cyclical of the economic.

Timber companies in conjunction with the railroad have played a significant role in Avon’s history.

In the early days, locksmiths were individually owned. The city’s prosperity and expansion usually depended on its proximity to the railroad. The Washington, Idaho, and Montana Railroad (WI & M.), owned by the Potlach Lumber Company, did not reach the city of Avon for a short distance.

Logging, mining and agriculture continued around the area.

Around 1910 Mr. Richard Wilkins built a shop and shortly afterwards other structures followed: post office, church, two other stores (in addition to the one used as a school), a service station, Grange Hall, but it was the town of Deary that benefited more than Avon from extensive logging, expanding the Potlach company.

Today, there are very few buildings standing over the city’s original location, the “grass field took the view of Avon”, the buffaloes at Johnson’s Bear Creek Ranch roam the grounds, and the sounds of threshing machines are just a memory distant.

The city of Avon is about twenty-seven miles east of Moscow, Idaho. On modern maps, Avon is now described as a ghost town, but the area remains populated.

Anyone who has visited this city is familiar with the special feeling of seeing old buildings and machines. It’s a huge experience, standing in tall grass around your waist on the outskirts of Avon, trying to imagine the men and women who have worked and lived there.

Fascinating Facts About Invention of Avon Cosmetics by David H. McConnell in 1886.

Avon was strictly an American phenomenon, unique and pioneering. First Lady Avon was actually a man, young door-to-door salesman David McConnell of upstate New York. He named Avon in 1886, offering cosmetics to women in the comfort and privacy of their own homes.

But perfumes and hand creams weren’t McConnell’s initial merchandise. By the age of sixteen, McConnell had already started selling books ‘door-to-door’.

When it wasn’t well received, it turned to the then popular advertising skill of offering a free introductory gift in exchange for being allowed to make a sales pitch. A bottle of perfume, he thought, would be an ideal gift, and he made the original perfume himself, with the help of a local pharmacist.

Avon Product History

It all started with the ancient Egyptians, who were the first to use paints as a method of protecting your skin from the sun. Skin painting later became a way of separating social classes. Little did they know what had started.

The technique of putting color on the face has evolved over the years until it has become a way of life for women of all ages and around the world, and a winning business venture, for a man by the name of David McConnell. In the late 1800’s, Mr. McConnell found himself selling books door-to-door in order to make a living.

He offered perfume samples to his female clients, and it was these samples that ended up changing his life forever. One day he finally realized that women liked his perfume samples more than his books. This realization inspired Mr. McConnell.

in 1886, Mr. McConnell and his wife Lucy founded the California Perfume Company. The company’s first product was called the ‘Little Dot Perfume Set’, and contained five different fragrances.

Mr. McConnell and his wife found they needed help selling their perfume early on in their venture so they hired Ms. FEP Albee as their first sales assistant, Ms. Albee had previously helped the Mr. McConnell with the sale of his books.

Ms. Albee went door-to-door selling the ‘Little Dot Perfume Set’, and signed up even more women as salespeople for the ‘California Perfume Company’.

As the company became more successful, and its profits increased, Mr. Mr.McConnell added even more products and had a catalog of all available products printed.

Fifty-one years after its initial start-up in 1937, Mr. McConnell passed away and left the company to his son, David McConnell. Young McConnell renamed the company ‘Avon Products’. He also worked and struggled hard to build a bigger and more successful company than what his father had ever done.

Today, Avon Products, incorporates manufacturers and sells its complete line of cosmetics and perfumes, as did its founder, more than a hundred years ago.

During its growth, Avon Products has added a line of jewelry, clothing, and decorative items, as well as items that can be used at home and in the automobile. The company was incorporated in 1916 and later went public with its valuable stocks.

Avon is a household name across the United States and around the world as well. As of September 1999, the company’s revenues rose by 9%.

Its net revenue rose by 82%. The company grew in order to sell its products internationally. In 1999 the company had sales of more than five billion dollars. Its ‘President Director’, then forty-year-old Andrea Jung, won $2.4 million that year.

The total number of Avon’s independent representatives now totals approximately three million men and women worldwide. More than 95% of its representatives work for Avon on a part-time basis. Avon products are sold through their representatives, over the Internet, and in some stores.

Their products can be seen in almost every home across the United States, as well as in many other countries.

Among the main sales of beauty products,

Avon Products continues to increase its product lines, promote its products, and grow more each year.

In 1999 it also helped the economy, employing more than forty thousand people in its many offices around the world.

Avon History

David H. McConnell I had not originally intended to create a beauty company. A travel book seller, he founded Avon in 1886 after realizing that his female customers were far more interested in the free perfume samples he offered than in his books.

During his days off, McConnell had also noticed that many of his female clients were isolated at home while their husbands went off to work. So he purposely recruited female sales reps.

McConnell believed they had a natural ability to share their resale and female market potential and thus increase their networking among women and a passion for their products. At a time of limited employment options for women, the Avon earnings opportunity was a revolutionary concept. It marked the beginning of the company’s long and rich history of empowering women around the world.

Founder David H. McConnell – Creation of the Company for Women.

Avon Founder David H. McConnell Offered Women a Rarity in 19th Century America: the chance for financial independence. In 1886, it was virtually unheard of for a woman to run her own business. Only about 5 million women in the United States were working outside the home, let alone climbing the ranks of any corporate ladder. This number represented only 20% of all women.

In the wake of the Industrial Revolution in the United States, women were mostly confined to jobs in agriculture, housework, and manufacturing, not exactly glamorous lines of work; manufacturing sector, in particular, was notorious for its hazardous working conditions. On top of that, women’s wages in all areas were a fraction of men’s.

For many women, McConnell would radically alter that scenario. The man behind the company for women was the son of Irish immigrants and grew up on a farm. Yet it was this young rural New Yorker, a visionary leader decades ahead of his time, who became a pioneer in women’s empowerment. McConnell, a bookseller turned perfume, would offer women the opportunity to create and manage your own business through what later became known as direct selling.

Origins of an Idea

In his travels as a book seller, McConnell made two important discoveries. First, he quickly realized that his female customers were far more interested in the free perfume samples he offered than in his books. He made these fragrances himself to serve as «door openers» when he traveled from house to house. Second, McConnell saw women struggling to make ends meet and recognized in many of them unique salespeople who could easily bond with other women and passionately market their new company’s first products – sell perfumes.

McConnell’s First Sales Representative

McConnell’s first recruit to Avon, then known as the California Perfume Company, was Ms. PFE Albee of New Hampshire. Not only did he provide Ms. Albee and other early representatives with an earning opportunity when employment options for women were extremely limited, he fostered a supportive environment with a familiar feel. (The company bulletin was even called «Family Album»).

In one of his regular letters from Representatives, he wrote: «All success lies in oneself and not in external conditions. Misfortunes … are just a discipline, and there are possibilities that we are often aroused by them, which suggest to us the power and strength we possess, which perhaps otherwise It would never have been recognized.” No wonder the Representative ranks rose to 5,000 in just 13 short years.

Product power and people

For McConnell, the product and the people were everything to the company, and he was dedicated to ensuring that both would be successful.

In addition to inspiring Members, McConnell also wanted to encourage the company’s employees in the same positive spirit. A century before he became de rigueur for companies to institute employee incentive programs and hordes of hiring consultants to make sure employees were happy, motivated, and productive, McConnell knew exactly how to rally the troops. The motivational leader created a set of guiding principles that are still at the heart and spirit of Avon today.

They include:

Providing an earning opportunity for individuals can achieve financial independence and enjoy everything that comes with such an achievement.
Recognizing each one’s unique contributions.
Getting around the Avon communities serves.
Offering the highest quality products with a satisfaction guarantee.
Keeping and stroking the «friendly spirit of Avon.»

Avon History

THE Avon history it would not exist without direct selling, just as direct selling would not exist without Avon.

The company’s successful experience served as an incentive for other companies to bet on the model, expanding opportunities. Her trajectory is confused with that of female achievements over the years. In the United States, they could resell Avon products even before gaining the right to vote – acquired only in 1920.

Today, the company is synonymous with high quality and affordable beauty products.

The direct sales system on which the company is founded began indirectly, when book seller David H. McConnell, founder of the company Avon, began offering a bottle of perfume as a gift to its customers.

David McConnell

He created a fragrance of roses to present with little bottles of perfume to those who accepted to hear his presentation, as he was not well received in homes, when he sold door-to-door in New York City. Perfumes were more successful than books, and the visionary McConnell decided to change industries in 1886. The business started in a space no bigger than a kitchen pantry. He produced the perfumes himself, was the cashier, the correspondent, the dispatcher and the office boy. Then, the California Perfume Company was born, with the Little Dot fragrance collection.

With a focus on home sales, McConnell invited Florence Albee to be the first reseller for her new company.

For six months Florence was his only employee and wandered by train or on horseback to sell the products. The company also began to change the role of women in society. Living in a time when the only acceptable occupation for a woman was that of being a housewife, Ms. Albee bet on the business model of door-to-door sales and invited other women to set up the first group of dealerships in Avon’s history.

Less than a decade after its foundation, in 1896, the company presented its first catalog for consultation. Through it, consumers could choose between perfumes, soaps, powdered powder, skin creams, shampoos, shaving creams, among other products. During this same period, the greatest perfumer of the time, Adolph Goetting, was hired to work at the company’s recently opened research laboratory, located in Suffern, New York.

The first international office was opened in the city of Montreal, Canada, in 1914. By 1928 the company was already present in 48 North American states, which made the name Companhia de Perfumes California seem too regional.

The name Avon appeared in 1929, for a line of products. It was a tribute to William Shakespeare, a writer born in the English town of Stratford-on Avon, of whom McConnell was a big fan. Ten years later, in 1939, the name was adopted for the entire company. Avon continued to grow, driven by the idea that women could change their own destinies and help with household expenses.

In the 50s, with the growing success of perfumes, the company decided to expand its business and quickly spread across five continents. In the same trajectory of other large companies, Avon was no longer just a multinational company to become a global organization. It began its great expansion abroad, when the International Division was formed.

The headquarters, in the United States, started to function as a business center and the grouped branches acted as autonomous divisions. All operated with products tested by the headquarters, following the requirements of each local market. Based on this concept, the units carried out technical and market research. They could also exchange information and trade among themselves raw materials and finished products.

In 1954 sales reached the US$ 55 million mark and the famous “AVON Calling” advertising campaign was introduced.

On August 6, 1959, the Avon factory in Brazil was inaugurated, in the neighborhood of Santo Amaro, in the city of São Paulo. Avon’s direct sales work in the country began with the publication of an ad in the women’s supplement of the Diário de São Paulo newspaper.

The text said: “Opportunity for housewives. For the lady who wants to add money to the household budget! Working just 4 hours a day, representing AVON Cosmetics in your neighborhood, you will have an excellent opportunity to earn more! We will train you. Make an appointment by phone 36-7201 – São Paulo”. The ad was successful and, since then, the country’s sales force has only increased.

In October 1970, the Avon factory in Interlagos, São Paulo, was inaugurated, where the activities of the old unit were transferred to. In that decade, the facilities underwent two expansions that allowed the consolidation of Avon products throughout the national market.

1983 marks the launch of the first product fully developed in Brazil, from fragrance to packaging: the Encounter colony.

After this success, Avon Brasil developed numerous others, such as: the fragrances Arts, Trekking, Luiza Brunet, Pretty Blue and Moments.

In 1989, Avon was the first major cosmetics industry that stopped using animals for research purposes. Shortly thereafter, he launched the Lahana deo-colony, produced from the advanced «living-flowers» system. Before, aromatic essences could only be extracted with the destruction of the plant. The «living-flowers» preserved the flower’s life, extracted its aromatic essence without destroying it and synthetically reproduced it on an industrial scale.

With the purpose of always meeting the needs of women, Avon has been a pioneer in scientific solutions, inspiring the cosmetic industry itself.

It was, for example, the first major beauty products company to stabilize the anti-aging ingredient retinol, the purest form of vitamin A, for use in beauty treatments. Its most important innovation was the introduction of AHA – alpha-hydroxy-acid – into the mass market, which occurred in 1993 with the launch of the Renew Perfecting Complex for Face line, which, by becoming a commercial success, helped to create the category of anti-aging products in the world.

In 1997, an Avon unit was opened in Ceará and, in 2003, in Bahia. The bet on Brazil also led the company to create its largest distribution center in the world, located in Osasco (SP).

The distribution center is intended for activities in the separation and distribution areas and allows for the modernization of systems and equipment.

Parallel to all this development, Avon contributed, as it had done in other countries, for women to change their performance and image in society. Avon Brasil endeavored to regulate the profession of autonomous retail resellers and created a network that today is made up of more than one million self-employed workers, who found in the door-to-door sales proposal an opportunity to enter the market of work and earn income.

The company also contributes to the country by maintaining a factory and three distribution centers, in which it employs more than 4,000 employees, 60% of whom are women.

With the company’s largest network of resellers, Brazil has become one of its main markets: it is the second unit of the corporation in sales.

It’s easy to prove this scenario: for every two lipsticks sold in the country, one is from the Avon brand. The same happens with antiaging products. For every two products sold nationally, one is from the Renew line. The products sold reach around 20 million Brazilians, who purchase new products every 19 days, on average.

In addition to offering beauty and well-being products for the satisfaction of its consumer, the company has a social commitment to women all over the world. The company develops several social programs in the countries in which it operates, with the objective of guaranteeing the health, well-being and total insertion of women in society. Avon is recognized as the company that invests the most in women’s health, carrying out actions in the fight against breast cancer. Known worldwide as Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer, in Brazil, the “Um Beijo pela Vida” campaign raises funds to promote actions aimed at reducing female mortality caused by breast cancer, promoting early diagnosis.

This ability to foresee the needs and responsibilities of a corporation that is embedded and committed to society helps to understand why Avon Products Inc. is the world leader in cosmetics direct sales. Represented by 5.3 million retailers, known as “AVON Ladies”, in 145 countries, the company produces perfumes, makeup, creams, lotions, hair, skin and daily care products, among other items.

Avon History

In 1886, in the United States, David McConnell decided to change the course of its business. He sold books door-to-door in New York and gave away bottles of perfume as a gift to his customers. Perfumes were more successful than books and the visionary McConnell decided to change industries. He opened the California Perfum Company and invited Florence Albee to be the first retailer. Optimistic with the direct selling model, Ms. Albee invited other women.

The name change only took place in 1939, when the company’s operations expanded, to operate in other American states besides California. The name avon was inspired by William Shakespeare’s hometown of Stratford-on-Avon – a tribute to the writer McConnell so admired.

In the 50s, with the growing success of Avon perfumes, the company decided to expand its business and quickly spread across five continents.

In the same trajectory of other large companies, in recent years, avon has gone from being just a multinational company to becoming a global organization. The headquarters, in the United States, now functions as a business center and the grouped branches act as autonomous divisions. All operate with products tested by the matrix, following the requirements of each local market. Based on this concept, the units carry out technical and market research. They also exchange information and trade raw materials and finished products with each other.

Avon produces perfumes, makeup, creams, lotions, hair, skin and daily care products, among other items. All products are tested in the most advanced international laboratories and strictly follow the standards of the FDA — Food and Drugs Administration — official quality control agency in the United States. Currently, more than 300 scientists are involved in discovering new technologies applied in cosmetics.

Avon also sells third-party products. The Shopping Mais brochure contains fashion, entertainment, housewares and jewelry items.

World leader in direct sales of cosmetics and beauty products, Avon operates in more than 100 markets and has more than 5 million resellers.

Since its founding in 1886, around 40 million women have already acted as resellers of Avon products around the world.

The company has net sales of approximately $8 billion a year. This significant participation in the beauty market places avon among the first in the ranking of global companies in the segment.

Commitment to women’s independence

More than a century ago, McConnell prided himself on saying: “We will honor the responsibilities of corporate citizenship, contributing to the well-being of the society where we work and to the preservation of the environment”. And avon makes that happen, especially when it comes to women.

In addition to offering beauty and well-being products for the total satisfaction of its consumer, the company has a social commitment to women all over the world.

Avon was one of the first companies to offer opportunities for women to conquer their space and become financially independent. In the united states, they could resell Avon products even before gaining the right to vote – acquired only in 1920. Today, the company develops several social programs in the countries in which it operates, with the objective of ensuring health, well-being and full insertion of women in society.

on Brazilian soil

Avon Brasil is the second unit of the corporation in sales.

It’s easy to prove this scenario: for every two lipsticks sold, one is from avon. The same happens with antiaging products. For every two products sold here, one is from the Renew line. The sales force is represented by millions of autonomous resellers who guaranteed the company gross sales of R$ 4 billion in 2005.

Installed in the country since 1959 in the city of São Paulo, the company also employs a team of more than 4,000 employees, of which around 60% are women.

There are also three distribution centers located in the states of São Paulo, Ceará and Bahia.

Avon History

Female soul. Feminine perception. Products, for the most part, aimed at a female audience. Women sellers. The AVON brand is the purest personification of women in sales and products.

In fact, the AVON history would not exist without direct sales, just as direct sales would not exist without AVON.

The story

The direct sales system on which the company is founded began indirectly, when book seller David Hall McConnell, a young man of just 28, sold his products door-to-door in the heart of Manhattan, New York. For people to accept at least listen to his presentations, after all he was not very well received in the houses where the bell rang, he had a brilliant idea that would change his life. He began offering a bottle of perfume as a gift to his customers who would accept to hear his presentation. Ended up changing branches. This is because the success of the perfumes he offered as a gift was much greater than the books he sold. Then, in 1886, the company California Perfume Company (known as CPC), with a focus on home sales. The business started in a rented space not much bigger than a kitchen pantry.

He produced the perfumes himself, was the cashier, the correspondent, the dispatcher and the office boy. With a focus on home sales, he invited Persis Foster Eames Albee, a friend and widow of a senator, to be his new company’s first retailer and sell the Little Dot perfume collection, available in fragrances only: Violet, White Rose, Heliotrope, Lily-of-the-Valley and Hyacinth.

For six months, Albee was his only employee and roamed by train or on horseback to sell the products. The company also began to change the role of women in society. Living in a time when the only acceptable occupation for a woman was being a housewife, Mrs. Albee, realizing the great potential of the business, bet on the business model of door-to-door sales and invited other women to set up the first group of resellers in AVON’s history. Not bad for a public that at the time hadn’t even won the right to vote. Less than a decade after its foundation, in 1896, the company, which already had 25,000 dealers in the United States, presented its first catalog for consultation, through which consumers could choose, in addition to traditional perfumes, a range of care products personal items such as soaps, powdered powder, skin creams, shampoos, shaving creams, among other items. During this same period, the greatest perfumer of the time, Adolph Goetting, was hired to work at the company’s recently opened research laboratory located in Suffern, New York.

The first international office was opened in the city of Montreal, Canada in 1914. Shortly before the end of this decade, the company had already achieved sales of 20 million units. The name change only took place in October 1939, when the company’s operations were expanded, entering other American states besides California. In the 50s, with the growing success of AVON perfumes, the company decided to expand its business and quickly spread across five continents. In the same trajectory as other large companies, AVON went from being just a multinational company to becoming a global organization. It began its great international expansion when the international division was formed. The headquarters, in the United States, started to function as a business center and the grouped branches acted as autonomous divisions. All operated with products tested by the headquarters, following the requirements of each local market. Based on this concept, the units carried out technical and market research. They could also exchange information and trade among themselves raw materials and finished products.

In 1954 sales reached the US$ 55 million mark and the famous advertising campaign “Ding Dong, AVON Calling” has been introduced with great success.

At the end of this decade, AVON was already present in countries such as Venezuela, Germany, England and Brazil. In the following decade, it entered new markets such as Holland, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Japan. In 1971, AVON began to diversify its product line with the launch of a collection of costume jewelry. The following year, sales surpassed the $1 billion mark for the first time. At that time AVON’s sales force was 600,000 resellers. In 1989, AVON was the first major cosmetics industry to officially stop using animals for research and testing purposes. Shortly thereafter, he launched the Lahana deo-colony, produced from the advanced “living-flowers” ​​system. Before, aromatic essences could only be extracted with the destruction of the plant. This new process preserved the life of the flower, extracting its aromatic essence without destroying it, and synthetically reproduced it on an industrial scale.

In 1996, once again showing its pioneering spirit in the cosmetic industry, it was the first to sell its products online. In addition, the 90’s were marked by the enormous diversification of products, with the beginning of sales of clothes, books, watches, accessories, home products, children’s products, among others. In 2000, he signed a contract with tennis players Venus and Serena Williams, to be the spokespersons for the global campaign called «Let’s Talk». In addition, in 2004, the AVON FOUNDATION launched the campaign Speak Out Against Domestic Violence, against domestic violence. Actress Salma Hayek was chosen as the worldwide spokesperson for the campaign. And in 2007, beautiful actress Reese Witherspoon was named brand ambassador. In her new role, the actress was named honorary president of the Avon Foundation, created in 1955 and focused on topics such as breast cancer and domestic violence.

Today, AVON develops, produces and sells perfumes, makeup, creams, lotions, hair, skin and daily care products, among other items.

All products are tested in the most advanced international laboratories and strictly follow the standards of the FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) official control agency of the United States.

Headquartered in Suffern, in the metropolitan region of New York, the Avon Research and Development Center occupies an area of ​​225,000 m², where more than 300 scientists and researchers from various fields work: toxicology, microbiology, clinical research, molecular biology, engineering, perfumer, among other disciplines. All these professionals work in partnership with the largest university centers in the world, with scientists and dermatologists in their specialties and also with more than 20 industries on six continents. Investing more than $100 million annually in research and development, AVON develops more than 1,000 new products every year to fulfill the desires of millions of consumers around the world.

With the purpose of always meeting the needs of women, AVON has been a pioneer in scientific solutions, inspiring the cosmetic industry itself.

It was, for example, the first major beauty products company to stabilize the anti-aging ingredient retinol, the purest form of vitamin A, for use in beauty treatments. Its most important innovation was the mass market introduction of AHA — alpha-hydroxy-acid -, which occurred in 1992 with the launch of the line Renew Perfecting Complex for Face, which, by becoming a commercial success, helped create the world’s antiaging product category.

In addition to offering beauty and well-being products for the satisfaction of its consumer, the company has a social commitment to women all over the world. The company develops several social programs in the countries where it operates, with the objective of guaranteeing the health, well-being and total insertion of women in society. AVON is recognized as the company that invests the most in women’s health, carrying out actions in the fight against breast cancer since 1992.

Worldwide known as Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer, and Brazil as «A Kiss for Life» the campaign raises funds to promote actions aimed at reducing female mortality caused by breast cancer, promoting early diagnosis.

The name

In 1928 the company was already present in 48 American states, which made the name California Perfume Company seem too regional. It was then that the name AVON appeared, used for the first time in the company’s logo on September 1, 1929. Before that, the name was already used for a line of branded products. It was a tribute to William Shakespeare, writer and playwright born in the English city of Stratford-on Avon, of whom the founder of the company, a lover of literature, was a big fan. A decade later, in 1939, AVON was officially adopted as the company name.

a global campaign

For the first time in its history, the company developed, in 2007, an institutional global communication campaign aimed at consumers, employees and autonomous resellers.

The campaign showed the company’s new global positioning: «Live the tomorrow».

Called Hello Tomorrow in English-speaking countries and Viva el Mañana in Spanish-speaking countries, the campaign reflected the company’s vision of the future: the belief, always optimistic, in building a better tomorrow, from that moment on. AVON chose International Women’s Day (March to launch the new campaign, in the more than 100 markets in which it operates, after all it was the 150th anniversary of the episode in which approximately 130 workers were murdered after entering on strike at a fabric factory in New York, demanding respect and dignity.

AVON’s new positioning was supported by three pillars:

Beauty: AVON reaffirms its vision of being the company that best understands and satisfies the needs of women around the world, as a company that was built by women, who defined the brand’s way of being. AVON believes in promoting beauty in the most diverse ways.

Autonomy: AVON will continue to contribute so that women find favorable conditions to gain independence and career opportunities, exercising autonomy, through which it is possible to promote transformations of relevance to society.

social involvement: already dedicated to social development, AVON will act with an even greater focus on women’s health, education and autonomy, creating opportunities for them to grow.

visual evolution

Throughout its history, the brand’s logo gained a more feminine air, with lighter lines and a cleaner look. The word AVON was used in the logo for the first time in 1928 and used a curved letter typology. In 1941 another modification took place. After some more modifications, in the 70s the typeface was changed and the color blue started to be used in the 90s.

Recently, the brand’s logo underwent a new makeover. The black color was adopted again and the letters were refined, gaining a cleaner and more sophisticated air.

The value

According to the British consultancy Interbrand, only the AVON brand is rated at $5,072 billion, ranking number 64 in the ranking of the most valuable brands in the world. The company also occupies the position of number 226 in the ranking of FORTUNE 500 magazine (companies with the highest revenue in the American market) for 2011.

The brand in Brazil

In Brazil, AVON’s direct sales work began in 1958 and continued on August 6, 1959, with the opening of a subsidiary in the neighborhood of Santo Amaro, in the city of São Paulo, and the publication of an advertisement in the Supplement Women of the newspaper Diário de São Paulo.

The text said: “Opportunity for housewives. For the lady who wants to add money to the household budget! Working just 4 hours a day, representing AVON Cosmetics in your neighborhood, you will have an excellent opportunity to earn more! We will train you. Make an appointment by phone 36-7201 – São Paulo”. The ad was successful and, since then, the country’s sales force has only increased. AVON’s arrival in the country gave housewives and young people who did not work outside the home, or were not recognized in their work, the chance to become an autonomous product reseller. the lipstick in color Clear Red, from the Fashion line, was the first national production. While the fragrance Rosa Silvestre was the brand’s first great commercial success in the country. Then came the fragrances Bem me Quer, Toque de Amor, Topaze, Persian Wood and Noite de Estrelas. Initially, the brand’s products were only sold in the Rio de Janeiro – São Paulo axis. But in a short time, sales also extended to the interior of Minas Gerais and then to the entire south of the country.

In 1963, AVON’s first children’s product was launched in Brazil. Juquinha, the smart tortoise, arrived in shampoo and massage oil versions. The company started to develop special packaging that become toys after use, thus collaborating with the development of the packaging industry in the country. In October 1970, the AVON factory in Interlagos, São Paulo, was inaugurated, where the activities of the old unit were transferred. In that decade, the facilities underwent two expansions that allowed the consolidation of AVON products throughout the national market.

1983 marked the launch of the first product fully developed in Brazil, from fragrance to packaging: the Encounter colony.

After this success, the company developed countless others such as the Arts, Trekking, Luiza Brunet, Pretty Blue and Moments fragrances.

The bet on Brazil also led the company to create here its largest distribution center in the world, located in Osasco (SP), which occupies a useful area of ​​16 thousand m². The distribution center is intended for activities in the separation and distribution areas and allows for the modernization of systems and equipment.

In 1997, a unit was opened in Ceará and, in 2003, in Bahia. AVON Brasil is the corporation’s second unit in sales worldwide.

In 2007, another novelty: inauguration of Avon Expressa, a store where resellers could buy AVON products in an immediate delivery system. Recently, the company inaugurated a very modern Distribution Center (DC) in Cabreúva, in the interior of the state of São Paulo, in an investment of US$ 150 million. The center has 70,000 m² and is located on a land measuring 267 thousand meters, a fact that will allow for future expansion. The center is capable of delivering 70% of all your orders.

It’s easy to prove this scenario: for every two lipsticks sold in the country, one is AVON brand. The same goes for anti-aging products. For every two products sold here, one is from the RENEW line. The products sold reach around 60 million Brazilians, who purchase new products every 19 days. The sales force is represented by more than 1.2 million autonomous resellers that guarantee the company a turnover in excess of R$4 billion.

The brand in the world

Represented by 6.5 million devoted retailers known as “AVON Ladies” in over 100 countries, the company is a world leader in direct sales of cosmetics and beauty products. Since its foundation, around 40 million women have already resold the brand’s products. In 2010, the company achieved net sales of approximately US$ 10.9 billion, with the United States, Brazil, Mexico, Russia and England as the main markets in the world. Currently, 40% of Avon’s sales are concentrated in Latin America. This significant participation in the beauty market places AVON among the first in the ranking of global companies in the segment.

One piece of data demonstrates AVON’s sales power: every three seconds a branded lipstick is sold somewhere in the world. The company has more than 20 factories spread across 15 countries. In addition, AVON sells clothing, books, jewelry, watches, accessories, home products, children’s products, among others.

Did you know?

AVON annually publishes over 600 million copies of its famous catalog in over 25 different languages.

The company focuses its actions on women’s beauty and health and invests worldwide and locally in campaigns against breast cancer. From 1992 until today, these investments have surpassed the US$700 million mark. Maybe that’s why its staff points to the positioning of women in executive positions (86% of the positions are filled by females).

In 1886, David H. McConnell founded the California Perfume Company, which would become Avon, in New York City. As an unsuccessful book salesman, he had concocted a rose-scented perfume as a «free gift» to encourage people to buy his books. The perfume was so popular, McConnell decided to abandon the book business and start a perfume company instead. In 1897, McConnell built the California Perfume Company’s first factory in Suffern, New York, which was conveniently located alongside railroad tracks for easy access to ship his products. After his death in 1937, his son took over the family business. The company changed its name to Avon in 1939 in honor of Shakespeare’s hometown, Stratford-on-Avon.

The Original Avon Lady

Avon’s direct-marketing system was developed by Mrs. P.F.E. Albee in 1886. It was the first of its kind. As Mrs. Albee sold perfumes door-to-door, she recruited a team of saleswomen. Direct-marketing offered women a chance to work outside the home in an era when they had few opportunities to do so. The company’s first catalog appeared in 1896 with no illustrations. The first full color catalog was issued in 1905.

Products

Avon’s first product was the Little Dot Perfume Set. By the end of the first year of business, the company had a line of nearly 20 different fragrances. In 1902, the company was selling a full range of cosmetics. In 1931, 11 products received the coveted Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. The first «novelty» decanters were sold in the 1960s. The collectible glass car decanters appeared in 1968. Over the years, the whimsical decanters featured themes ranging from animals and flowers to planes and trains.

Progress

Avon recorded its first $500 sales day in December 1897. The company sold $1 million worth of products in 1920. In 1972, sales reached a staggering $1 billion. In 1989, Avon announced it would end animal testing on all its products. It was the first major cosmetics company to do so.

World War II

Like many industries, Avon retooled half its factories to produce products for the war effort, including insect repellents and gas mask canisters. With the American economy booming after the war, Avon’s sales soared. By 1949, there were 65,000 representatives and 2,500 employees.

Marketing

For decades, Avon relied solely on catalog sales through their network of representatives. The first TV commercial for Avon appeared in 1954 with the famous «Ding Dong! Avon calling!» tagline. In the 1990s, Avon launched a campaign to raise awareness for breast cancer by selling «pink ribbon» items.

Avon Today

Avon has grown from a small perfume company in New York into a global cosmetics and fragrance industry with almost 5 million representatives. The original product line has expanded to include jewelry, soaps, Christmas ornaments and other household goods. Customers can purchase Avon products through a representative, online or in certain department stores.
