 PROFILE
"Avon calling" -- calling for a corporate makeover. Avon Products, the world's largest direct seller of cosmetics and beauty-related items, is primping to build a global name and entice younger customers (while retaining middle-aged buyers). Direct selling remains the firm's modus operandi, but sales also come from catalogs, mall kiosks, a day spa (The Avon Centre), and an Internet site. The company's products include cosmetics (Avon Color), fragrances (Perceive, Women of Earth), toiletries (Skin-So-Soft), jewelry, apparel, and home furnishings. Avon is available in about 135 countries. For the first time in its 115 years of business, the company plans to begin selling products in some US stores in late 2001.
