Having spent most of my life in the beauty industry I am thoroughly enjoying finding these vintage print ads on Pinterest and the internet.
This is a collection of ads from that household brand Avon, which believe it or not,
has been around for nearly 130 years.
Avon Products, Inc. is a multi-level marketing company in beauty, household, and personal care categories. Avon had annual sales of $4.7 billion worldwide in 2019.
It is the fourteenth-largest beauty company and is the second largest direct-selling enterprise in the world.
Avon is the world's leading direct seller of beauty and related products Avon sells products in over 100 countries through their independent sales force of over 6.4 million representatives - which were back then fondly known as
"Avon Ladies".
The original Avon lady was always well groomed and would carry her beauty wares in a case.
I even remember a TV ad back in the UK from the 1960's, which showed such female carrying her Avon case and ringing the doorbell of a house, it went something like this..
Ding Dong Ding Dong..."Avon calling".
I have managed to find a collection of TV ads on YouTube from the 60's onwards.
Today these ladies have had to step aside to make way for a
new a new type of "beauty"
new a new type of "beauty"
the "Avon catalogue".
Avon representatives now show the catalogue to customers in their homes, at work, at social or leisure activities or to their friends and family. The representatives then send the orders to Avon and the products are delivered free of charge directly to the representatives' homes.
