Avon History

In 1886, a young man from rural New York State came up with a revolutionary entrepreneurial idea. David McKenney noticed while selling encyclopedias from door to door that female customers would prefer to buy his free gift—a bottle of perfume—thanks to buy the books he sold. So McKenny opened a store in his basement and founded California Perfume Company. He recruits women to sell perfumes to their communities and hires others to do the job as “general agents” or independent direct salesmen. A year later, McConnell founded a manufacturing lab in Safin, New York and released his first full-color catalog.

Transforming from bookseller to perfume business owner was a truly visionary initiative. He pioneered an industry that was later called the "direct sales industry." Especially importantly, his revolutionary ideas gave women the opportunity to achieve economic independence 34 years before the United States received suffrage, when only 20% of women worked outside.

Avon's long tradition of opening the door to careers for women was born.
