AVON"S HISTORY:

The roots of Avon can be traced back to 1886, when founder, David H. McConnell, of New York city, discovered that the rose oil perfumes he was giving away were the reason people were buying his books.

Known in those days as The California Perfume Company, the business quickly prospered and Mr. McConnell appointed his first General Agent, Mrs. Albee. At a time before women even had the right to vote, Mrs. Albee was instrumental in establishing the unique sales method that continues to be Avon's hallmark today.

In 1914, the California Perfume Company opened its first international office in Montréal, Canada.

David H. McConnell had aspirations to expand his company overseas and recognized the need to change the company name. Having been enchanted by the beauty of Stratford upon Avon during a visit to England, David McConnell was inspired, and in 1939 he chose the name 'Avon' for his growing international company.


SHOPPING WITH AVON

Avon's main sales tool is the Avon brochure. Every two weeks, more than half a million women across Canada see an Avon brochure. It offers a wide and contemporary selection of beauty and related products at affordable prices.

The Avon Representative shows the brochure to customers in their homes, at work, at social or leisure activities or to their friends and family. They then send their orders to Avon and products are delivered directly to their homes.

In addition to our rich heritage of direct selling, the Avon website allows consumers to buy online without the need to see a Representative, or they can order via phone by calling Avon direct at 1-800-265-AVON.
