AVON

Avon was founded in 1886 by David H. McConnell with the vision - "To be the company that best understands and satisfies the product, service and self-fulfillment needs of women - globally."

Serving as a continuing source of strength throughout history, Avon's five values remain at the heart of the company. Those values include: Trust, Respect, Belief, Humility, and Integrity.

Each of these values are practiced daily by Avon personnel and the company continues to strive for excellence in every aspect. Becoming the first major cosmetic company in the world to end animal testing in 1989, they set their goals above the rest. Avon continues to meet, if not exceed, the environmental and product safety laws and regulations of the countries and communities in which they operate.

Avon offers so many wonderful products like makeup, skin care, bath and body care, and hair care. The company started out focusing on women but over the years they have expanded their range of merchandise to include men and children. With wellness products, fragrances, and the men's catalog, Avon has something for everyone.

You don't have to look far to find an Avon representative; usually a friend, family member, or neighbor sells Avon. Just ask them for a brochure and they may even have a sample or two you could try. Avon is always expanding their inventory with new colors, scents, and amazing new products. Did you know that Avon sells shoes, purses, jewelry, and clothes? They even offer appealing merchandise for kids and great gifts for those special people in your life.

Avon is also an opportunity for women (or men) to start their own full-time business or just earn some extra cash on the side. Avon representatives can purchase new products before they are even available to the public and get generous discounts on merchandise for themselves to keep or to re-sell to customers. You could become one of the five million Avon consultants who are living their dream of being their own business owners.

Avon is sold in over one hundred countries worldwide and has been recognized for the outstanding quality of their products. They also participate in raising funds for important organizations such as the fight against breast cancer, domestic violence, and emergency and disaster relief. You can help by buying Avon products where all or part of the proceeds go to one of these causes. We all want to help others in any way we can, but sometimes we don't know how to or maybe don't have the extra money to donate. If you buy gifts for your loved ones through Avon, you can support a cause that is important to you at the same time.

Can you see all the wonderful aspects that Avon has to offer? From buying to selling to raising money for some great causes, Avon is an asset to the community and to the world. Not only are they environmentally conscious, they never test their products or the raw ingredients on animals which means you can feel safe buying the products you want and need from Avon.
