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.

One of the best things about this company is its remarkable ability to understand its customers. They bring back customer favorites, constantly have price breaks, sales and new opportunities to enhance your personal beauty. Additionally, AVON has an entire product line Mark devoted to and created for a younger customer base.

Each one of the AVON independent representatives are in charge of their own business. They foster relationships with their customers and seek to provide one on one customer care, nearly unheard of these days.

AVON also helps women, not only by offering this entrepreneurial opportunity but by donating proceeds to issues that concern women like breast cancer awareness and domestic violence support.

I guess my point in writing this entry is to make people aware: there is a company that is doing things *right.* I am proud to announce that I have stepped into the role of Independent AVON representative.

Today, my first order arrived. I packaged up my customer's items with colored tissue paper, an assortment of samples and a smile on my face. It is my hope that no matter where you live, you'll consider giving AVON a try: buy the products or maybe even become a representative yourself!

Thank you so much for telling us about Avon's philanthropic efforts. I am especially moved by their "Speak Out Against Domestic Violence" campaign. I watched the video they have and got angry. "Every 9 seconds a women is beaten or abused abused in the United States." That is unacceptable! Speak out!
