Product Description A Winning Formula for Selling to Women Around the World
Avon has come a long way since handing out its first perfume sample back in 1886. The company, long famous for ringing customer doorbells, is now the world’s largest direct sales organization-with almost five million representatives in more than 140 countries.
AVON: Building the World’s Premier Company for Women is the first book ever to show how this cosmetics juggernaut achieved such incredible success, while revealing secrets any business can use to effectively market products of all kinds-especially to women.
Founded in 1886 by David McConnell as California Perfume Company, Avon had the purpose of distributing perfumes to customers the easy way through bringing products directly to them. Eventually the company’s name was changed to Avon after McConnell visited Shakespeare’s home in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
With over five million representatives in over hundred countries, Avon is known as the world’s largest direct selling company.
In order to become an Avon representative, one must pay $10, which is considered to be a very cheap investment considering all other MLM companies start-up costs.
