Avon is the company that started it all – direct sales, that is! Today, there are countless direct sales companies, but Avon was the trailblazer.
Way back in 1886, founder David H. McConnell of the California Perfume Company, hired Mrs. P.F.E. Albee to sell his perfumes door-to-door, and the rest is history.
Eventually, the company name was changed to Avon, and the iconic Avon Ladies are the ones who made all the magic happen.
These women (and now, a few good men!) provided their clientele with personalized service – bringing brochures, delivering orders, and offering advice and consultation on skin care and beauty concerns.
And we still do!
Even when you are shopping for Avon products online, you get that personalized service when you are connected to your personal Avon Representative.

Beware of Buying Avon on Alternate Sites
Sure, you have probably seen Avon products being sold on sites such as eBay, Amazon, WalMart, and Poshmark. All I can say is, Buyer Beware! Why? Here are a few reasons:
○ You don’t know who the third-party seller is. It could be a former Avon Representative with old stock, or a current Representative who is violating Avon policy.
○ You don’t have the protection of Avon’s 45-day money-back guarantee when you aren’t buying directly from an authorized Avon Representative.
○ You don’t know if the product is old/expired.
○ You don’t know if you are getting the best sale price.
○ There are many, many scammers out there waiting to take your money.
