Avon Case
I. Time Context
1993 – a line of intimate apparel and casual wear introduced. - 3,000 Avon Ladies, associates, franchise dealers and managers, and their family and friends, participated in the first year of the Avon Global Running Program, a worldwide event aimed at promoting good health and fostering camaraderie between and among the ladies of Avon.
1996 – received the Flame for excellence in sales, marketing, and operations.
1997 – Avon’s net sales worldwide increase 6 percent to $ 5.1 billion. - continued to blaze the trials as the Philippine operations posted an impressive sales growth of 25 percent. - gross sales of cosmetics, fragrance, toiletries and intimate apparel amounted to over P 5 million.
II. Viewpoint
Avon’s success lies on their belief that the best way to persuade the market is for the company to have a full commitment and personal touch to their products and consumers as well. Cosmetics business on my own opinion is one of the hardest industries to enter with, it needs big plans, development, hard researches, and meticulous production for the company to catch such patronizes.
