Every other Friday my AVON orders are delivered. I love it. It's like getting a present. The first thing I do, after opening the box, is take out a new catalog and all the Rep. brochures. Then I look at all the wonderful product. I'm always slightly disappointed that I can't break the seals all my clients product and try them out; especially the body washes and bubble baths. Luckily, there are no seals on the jewelry, so I always take a peek. I go through the catalogs and pick out all the things I want to order. I am my own best customer...thank goodness for representative discounts!
It amazes me that people don't appreciate the real quality behind AVON's products. I'm always educating potential clients to the fact that AVON has a huge research facility in upstate NY. AVON was the first company to develop alpha hydroxide, retinal and other super skin care chemicals for use in their products. That many of the high end companies have copied their products...even their packaging. That they've been in business for over 125 years and are a Fortune 500 company. Our CEO, Andrea Jung, is the first women CEO of a Fortune 500 company. AVON was the first multilevel marketing country in the USA...before AMWAY. Plus, they are the largest contributor to breast cancer research in the country (possibly the world). AVON also supports anti-domestic violence programs and, with their "Hello Green Tomorrow" program, environmental causes. Reese Witherspoon is our spokeswomen and wears our products. Fergie, Patrick Dempsey and Derek Jeter all have fragrance lines with AVON. Jillian Dempsey (Patrick's wife) is AVON's Global Color Director with her own line of cosmetics.
Their products have won top awards from such fashion magazine as "Allure" and "Marie Clarie." Too many people seem to equate low cost items with low quality, but AVON products are low cost because the are sold by independent representatives and not department or specialty stores. AVON sells more than cosmetics. We sell hair care products (Fergie is the hair care spokes person), sun screens, bug repellants, fragrances, custom and sterling silver jewelry, watches, shoes, clothes, the best priced and best smelling deoderant anywhere (only 99 cents) and, just recently, Tiny Tillia infant clothing. Ummm...sorry, I get a bit heated about this. I just can't understand why someone would spend 2-3 times the price for a similar or lower quality product.
Anyhow, I love Fridays.
