Avon Products Inc. originated as The California Perfume Company in 1886, when the Union Publishing House shifted its name and business focus from publishing to perfumes and cosmetics. The direct sales model still employed by Avon today began with the company’s first representative, Mrs. P.F.E. Albee. In 1896, it published its inaugural sales brochure. By 1902, with 10,000 sales representatives, the company pioneered career opportunities for women at a time when most were confined to clerical or domestic roles—or excluded from working outside the home entirely.
The first products bearing the "Avon" brand launched in 1928. The California Perfume Company filed its first "Avon" trademark for a beauty product in 1932 and officially rebranded as Avon in 1939.
In 1946, Avon became a publicly traded corporation and expanded globally throughout the second half of the 20th century.
Celebrating 125 years in business in 2011, the company now has over six million sales representatives operating in more than 100 countries. It remains relevant in today’s market by integrating technology into its products and marketing strategies, appealing to new generations through celebrity spokesmodels like Reese Witherspoon, Courtney Cox, and Patrick Dempsey. In 2003, Avon further targeted the youth market with a new brand,mark.
Perfumes have been a mainstay of Avon’s lineup since the California Perfume Company’s "Little Dot Set" fragrances, evolving to include celebrity-endorsed scents in the 21st century.
