Avon Products, Inc. Company Profile

"Avon calling" -- calling for a younger crowd, overseas reps, and improved global operational efficiencies. Avon Products, the world's top direct seller of cosmetics and beauty-related items, is busy building a global brand and enticing more consumers to buy its products. Direct selling remains its modus operandi; sales also come from catalogs and a website. Its lineup includes cosmetics, fragrances, toiletries, jewelry, apparel, home furnishings, and more. Avon, which owns Silpada jewelry, boasts more than 6 million independent representatives. With sales and distribution operations in some more than 100 countries, the company is working to transform its business amid falling sales and a spruned takeover bid.
