The Beauty of AVON

When I was little my grandma swore by AVON's Skin-So-Soft. She had the bath oil in a spray bottle and suggested that it helped keep bugs from biting. I am pretty sure I still got bit; yet I smelled delightful!

AVON has been around for ages and some of the product lines, like Skin-So-Soft are product icons. They have withstood the test of time, changed and evolved (for the better).

This company offers make-up, skin care, popular fragrance, clothing, jewelry and more. One of the most enduring images has been the door-to-door AVON lady. In Edward Scissorhands actress Diane Wiest plays this role hysterically and magnificently.

Now, the AVON "salesperson" can text message order deadlines, help you pick out a lip color via IM or e-mail you an update regarding your purchase. Some reps maintain their own mini-store online and are referred to as an "e-representative." It's really amazing how technology has benefited and assisted this "old fashioned" business.
