AVON Values and Principles that Guide the Company

Time and again, Avon's five values and guiding principles have served as sources of strength for the company and still do today. Avon's values date back to its founding in 1886 and grew from BIRTH.

The Avon Values

Belief is the cornerstone of empowering Associates to assume responsibilities and be the very best they can be. Believe in someone — and show it — and that person will move mountains to prove you’re right.

Integrity should be the hallmark of every Avon Associate. In setting and observing the highest ethical standards and doing the right thing, we fulfill a duty of care, not only to our Representatives and customers in the communities we serve, but to our colleagues and ourselves.

Respect helps us to value differences, to appreciate each person for her or his unique qualities. Through respect, we help bring out the full potential of each person.

Trust means we want to live and work in an environment where communications are open — where people feel free to take risks, to share their points of view and to speak the truth as they see it. Trust people to do the right thing — and help them to understand your underlying reasoning and philosophy — and they won’t disappoint.

Humility simply means we’re not always right — we don’t have all the answers — and we know it. We’re no less human than the people who work for us, and we’re not afraid to ask for help.

Principles that Guide Avon

My AVON Story: My First Year as an AVON Rep

On January 11th, 2015 I signed up online to become an AVON Independent Sales Representative. Through my shyness, anxiety, and fear I somehow gained the courage to take a huge leap out of my comfort zone and complete the sign up process. It was easy enough to do and it didn't take long. After signing up, I told all of my family and friends about my new endeavor and was relieved to find support. Not only did I gain the support from my loved ones but also from the AVON Community online. There are online forums through your AVON account, full of tips and veterans willing to show you the ropes. There are also Facebook groups to join that welcome you again with more helpful advice. 

I threw myself into the AVON University Online Training Courses, desiring to master them all and soak up as much information as I possibly could to make a real go of this "AVON thing". My reason to start my AVON business? Honestly, it was to do something for myself. Sure, I have a lot for myself to do around the house with the kids and all, but I needed something for me. I'm sure a lot of Moms out there can relate to that! I also started my business because I wanted to earn a little bit of extra money and take advantage of the discount from being an AVON Rep to get some pretties for myself. I never really thought at first that I could turn my business into something truly profitable. That quickly changed as I learned more about selling AVON and I caught the bug to want to get my name out there and make some real money!

Before signing up, I looked into direct selling companies and of course AVON was high on the list. For starters, its legit. AVON has been around for almost 130 years.. they clearly are doing something right. Also, AVON has the lowest priced start up kit in the direct selling beauty industry. Only $15. The eStore that is provided to me to have customers shop on and get their orders delivered directly to them, is FREE. Always. The AVON Foundation that supports Breast Cancer Awareness and Domestic Violence Awareness, really means a lot to me. AVON is giving back in such a powerful and emotional way. And the Customer Service? I love it. If I have to call in about an issue or question I have, no matter whom I talk with, it always gets corrected and taken care of. They do not just write you off. You are not just a number to AVON --- you matter. Millions of Representatives have flourished, not only in a monetary value but on a personal level. 

That is where I have found myself. Family and friends have noticed --- I am confident. I am proud of AVON and what I am doing. I am proud of myself. I have my own business! It is fun, rewarding, and is a key part in defining who I am and what I am doing in my life. 

Since starting my own AVON business I am more outspoken. You have to be! The most interesting take on this for me is just how easy and naturally it came about. I have struggled my entire life with anxiety and depression. AVON has launched me out of my own shell and i'm becoming a strong and more independent woman. 

My hope is to continue to grow with my business and for those who are struggling with themselves in a way as I was... that they too can find that AVON can help them.  I truly feel this way. I was happy before AVON but with it, I am more.  You can be, too! It takes less than 5 minutes to get started and the excitement that fills you will just spill on to others!! I've met so many amazingly helpful and friendly people along the way. Every day there is something new and exciting waiting to share with the world. Thank you for allowing me to share this with you.
