Everyone has heard about Avon. They've been around since 1886 and have maintained a good reputation for quality products primarily for women.
And as the title of the release says, I am NOT an Avon representative; but, my wife is, and as a good husband and friend, I must take a few moments to help promote her endeavor.
Since I'm a student of history and I love a good story I'll share a little history about Avon that I learned recently.
According to the company website, the founder, "David H. McConnell didn't originally intend to create a beauty company. A traveling book salesman, he founded Avon in 1886 after realizing his female customers were far more interested in the free perfume samples he offered than in his books. During his book selling days, McConnell had also noticed that many of his female customers were isolated at home while their husbands went off to work. So he purposely recruited female sales Representatives. McConnell believed they had a natural ability to network with and market to other women, and a passion for his products. At a time of limited employment options for women, the Avon earnings opportunity was a revolutionary concept. It marked the start of the company's long and rich history of empowering women around the globe."

Now, a little history about my wife (my empowered woman) and I. We've lived in Madisonville Kentucky for almost thirty years. She has supported my business endeavors over the years and there have been many. I started my first brick and mortar retail store at age 19 and she was there. She has seen my boom and bust. She has witnessed the good, the bad, and the ugly. And recently, she has started her own home based business. I am very happy for her.
So, if you enjoy Avon products or know someone who does you can buy Avon online. FREE standard shipping with $35 order or more.
