  Avon Products, Inc. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Avon Products, Inc. NYSE: AVP is an American cosmetics, perfume and toy seller with markets in over 135 countries across the world and a sales of $5.2 billion worldwide.
Avon uses both door to door sales people ("Avon ladies," primarily) and catalogs to advertise their products, but in some markets (most notably China, who banned all door-to-door selling in the 1990s) Avon products are sold primarily in retail stores.
Although the company has always been more directed towards female customers, Avon's line of male products continues to expand, and their children's products (such as shampoos and toys) have also proved to be a good source of revenue.

 Avon Products Inc. - The Ultimate CRM Machine
Avon's focus on supporting the representatives makes sense now, in a world where old-economy companies are being rewarded for sticking to their knitting.
While Avon is claiming that it saved over the past three years a total of $56 million in streamlining its product and material suppliers, and $22 million on improving its transportation management processes, it has done little to actually automate its supply chain, as it promised it would in 1997.
Avon used this past data to create educated "guesstimates" of how much product the company would need on hand in both the short term (two to three weeks out), as well as in the longer term (up to six months in the future).
