Avon Updates: 2024 Edition

Pamela Murphy, AVON Independent Sales Representative

February 6, 2024

Avon held its annual Kickoff meeting for Representatives on January 26, 2024. (I know; I’m a little late getting this post together. Life happens.)

Anyway, here are some of the topics you may be interested in. I am focusing here on the topics of interest to customers, but if you are a current Representative or even someone who is thinking about joining, you may be interested in these topics also.

2024 Main Priorities

The company has three main priorities to address in 2024:

  1. Stabilizing Product Supply. We’re all painfully aware of the supply issues that have been going on throughout 2023. These issues were due to Avon abruptly losing its manufacturer over a contract dispute, and having to scramble to get the products made elsewhere. We’re talking about 6,000 SKUs that had to be completely restarted from Square One. This involves not only finding a new factory, setting up production lines, ordering raw materials, and hiring staff, but also obtaining all the necessary government approvals for personal care items. These things take A LOT of time and effort. The good news is, some of the products are already back in stock, some are in production now, and some are still in the approval process. Soon everything will be back to normal.
  2. Strategic Product Portfolio. The company is evaluating the present product lineup, as all companies do, and plans to introduce several new Avon-branded products during the second quarter. Some products with low sales volume will be exited. They are considering possibly bringing back the household products. (We can hope – those cleaning products were the BEST! The HomeStar Glass Cleaner took the mold off the side of my house with just a squirt and a wipe! And the Fresh Fiji laundry products are amazing! Fingers crossed for this.)
  3. Building Connections. This means improved communications, including with Representatives and with Customers.

Brochure Improvements

Avon heard us – As of Campaign 6, the generic QR code that leads to the main corporate site will be removed from the back side of the brochure, as will the corporate phone number.

In Campaign 8, the “Product Guide,” which was simply a repetition of everything in the brochure and wasted half the pages, will be gone.

And, can we get a “Hallelujah”? Beginning with Campaign 12, the brochure will be back to 160+ pages, with product “stories” and actual models for the clothing items!

Not sure why they made the drastic changes to the brochure at the beginning of the year, but they heard us loud and clear and are making it right again. Another factor could be that sales were down due to many products not even being in the brochures. Not everyone uses the internet to shop. Many people still want to hold a catalog in their hands and fold down the pages of stuff they want. Maybe it took this experiment to send that message to corporate. Whatever the reason, we’re glad it’s coming back!

New Products to be Introduced Soon!

Several new products will be launched in the near future, including a beautiful new floral fragrance (hint: who loves orchids?) and a new Far Away version. There will also be new, on-trend fashion and jewelry to add to your wardrobe.

On the skin-care side, look for new serums to beef up your skin-care routine. Plus, how about “Skin Care Meets Makeup”? Yes, there will be new makeup products that incorporate skin-care ingredients like peptides. I can’t wait to try those! And watch for some new matte lipstick shades too!

Have you heard the buzz about snail mucin? It’s all the rage in skin care right now, and Avon will be offering its own line in Campaign 10.

Not familiar with snail mucin? Neither was I, so I did some research. According to the Mayo Clinic website, it appears that “certain types of snail mucin have moisturizing and protective qualities that are good for your skin. Snail mucin contains antioxidants that may help reduce signs of aging like wrinkles, uneven skin tone and sagging. Studies indicate that snail mucin helps with skin regeneration and protects against damaging free radicals.”

In one study, snail mucin users saw significantly improved fine lines, crow’s feet and luminance when compared with people in a group that used a placebo product without snail secretions. Also, it was noted that snail mucin could potentially help protect against melanoma, a dangerous skin cancer. In a study, snail mucin helped decrease the spread and growth of melanoma cells in the lab. (This is of special import to me, since I’ve already had two melanoma spots removed.) This is potentially huge!

In the Bath & Body category, a new Skin So Soft line will be introduced with the light scent of eucalyptus mint! These will be vegan products with sustainable packaging. Way to go, Avon!

Shop & Learn Events

Timeless Beauty: Skin Care for Women Over 50

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”

-Audrey Hepburn

When I was young, I wanted to BE Audrey Hepburn. Her beauty, her style, her grace, her wisdom, her empathy, her humility – she was everything.

Audrey knew that we age, but that we can age gracefully and be beautiful, because our beauty comes from within.

Do you ever get all dolled up to go out for the evening, and you look in the mirror, and you just feel great? And do you notice that when you feel great, you get a lot of compliments on how you look? That’s not just because you picked out a great outfit or aced your makeup and hair, but because your confidence is shining through it all too!

Your attitude is everything. Well, almost everything. A good beauty routine is essential too!

It’s never too early to start taking care of your skin. Personally, I’ve always had dry skin, even in my 20s, so I’ve used skin care products for a loooong time!

That said it’s also never too late. If you’re already in your 50s (or even beyond), you can start now.

How do I know which products to use?

It can be overwhelming, looking at all of the skin care products on the market! Which ones are right for you?

First, you want to assess your specific skin care needs, and go from there.

  • Is you skin dry, oily, or combination?
  • Do you have fine lines, or deep wrinkles?
  • Do you have age spots or dark circles?
  • Do you have sagging (as in jowls)?

You should choose your skin care regimen based on your concerns, not necessarily your age. I have customers in their 70s who have beautiful skin and don’t need much more than a good moisturizer. And then there are women in their 50s with fine lines and wrinkles. And let’s face it, sooner or later all of us will have sagging skin.

The most important thing is hydration. If your skin is hydrated well, it will naturally look more youthful. So, never skimp on moisturizer!

What products are best for my skin type?

Let’s look at two of the mature skin care lines available from your Avon Representative (that would be me). 😉

Anew Ultimate

Why lie about your age? Your skin care can do that for you.

The Anew Ultimate skin care line is for combating multiple signs of aging – including fine lines and wrinkles, skin tone and texture, and puffy eyes.

This line includes a Day Cream with SPF 25, a Night Cream, a Night Repair Serum, a Multi-Performance Eye System, and an Ultimate Supreme Eye Balm. Also available are Ultimate Supreme Dual Elixer and Ultimate Supreme Advanced Performance Creme with Black Pearl Extract.

You can get the Ultimate Regimen Set shown here, which includes the Day and Night Creams, the Multi-Performance Eye System, and a trial-size Power Serum, for just $54.99 – a savings of over $30 if purchased separately!

View all of the Anew Ultimate products here.

Anew Platinum

If your main concern is loose, sagging skin, you’ll want to look at the Anew Platinum line. These products are specially formulated to tighten and re-sculpt sagging, lackluster skin.

The Anew Platinum line includes a Day Cream with SPF 25, a Night Cream, an Age Delay Serum, an Eye & Lip Cream, and a Firm & Sculpt Cream for Neck and Chest. Also available is a Sculpting Body Serum.

A Platinum Regimen Set is also available for just $54.99 (a savings of over $30 if purchased separately). The set includes full-size Day Cream, Night Cream, and Eye & Lip Cream, plus a trial size tube of Anew Power Serum.

Avon also offers many other options for the care of your beautiful face. See them all here.
