 In over a hundred countries, Avon is a leader in beauty and a trusted name in direct selling. But that's only the beginning. More and more, you'll find Avon in kiosks and corner stores... in fashion and in fitness... on the web and on your wavelength.
Avon started out as the California Perfume Company when founder, Mr. David McConnell, 28 of New York, NY, USA discovered that the rose oil perfumes he was giving away were the reason people were buying his books.
He named the company Avon in 1939 in tribute to his favorite playwright, William Shakespeare and Stratford on Avon.
Mrs. P.F.E. Albee of Winchester New Hampshire, USA pioneered the company's now-famous direct-selling method. Today, with sales representatives numbering three and a half million, Avon products are sold in 143 countries around the world.
Women have been selling Avon since 1886 34 years before women in the US won the right to vote!
Avon is the world's leading direct seller of beauty and related products, with $6.2 billion in annual revenues. Avon markets to women in 143 countries through 3.9 million independent sales Representatives.
