He started the California perfume company in New York City where he opened very small manufacturing and shipping offices in New York, California and later in Canada as well. By the year 1918, David H. McConnell along with business-man Alexander D. Henderson, sold five million bottles of perfume in North America. The sales soared to an income of 2 million dollars and the name was changed to Avon Products, Inc. in October 1939. By 1954 sales reached an all time high of 55 million dollars and the slogan " Avon Calling ", was born. In 1979 sales reached 3 Billion Dollars and today, sales exceed 10 Billion Dollars world wide. I believe it's safe to say, Avon is still calling.
Their original 500 square foot office has been upgraded to a 100 million dollar, 225,000. square foot warehouse which was purchased in 2005. They have over 300 development and research scientists on the premises.
Avon, also participates in philanthropic issues and causes. They have founded a charity organization which focuses on improving the lives of women and their families.

The products include perfumes, make-up, bath accessories, lotions, anti-aging creams, jewelry and clothing. The Company's line of products have expanded considerably since the early days of David H. McConnell's door to door perfume sales.
Avon still uses door to door selling and that is basically their company opportunity. This opportunity is offered to those who are interested. There are both disadvantages and advantages to any business opportunity and one should always use caution when starting or joining any business.
