HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, AVON! 140 Years of Beauty That Still Works

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, AVON! 140 Years of Beauty That Still Works

Breaking the mold since 1886 with Classic Icons to Modern Must-Haves.

Some things earn their place in your life—and stay there.
That’s exactly what Avon has done for 140 years. Not by chasing trends, but by delivering what actually works—then evolving it for today.

If you love the comfort of trusted favorites and the excitement of something new, this is your moment.

Avon is celebrating its 140th Anniversary in 2026!
Below are just a few of our milestones but I invite you to explore the full story of  Our History and all the milestones that have shaped the Avon legacy.

In September 1886, David H. McConnell (who initially sold books as a door-to-door salesman in NY) decided to sell perfume instead of books

  • 1886: The Start of Something Beautiful. The year the Statue of Liberty is dedicated. David H. McConnell, a travelling book salesperson, offers free Rose Extract perfume samples to customers. When the samples become more popular than the books, he opens up the first direct selling beauty company and hires the first Avon Ambassador, Mrs. P.F.E. Albee.

1954 - Ding Dong, Avon Calling!

  • 1954: Ding Dong, Avon Calling! The longest and most successful campaign in advertising history kicks off, running through 1967. With the press of a doorbell, this memorable TV ad had people across the country saying, ‘Ding Dong, Avon Calling’. It establishes Avon as a household name by creating instant brand recognition, empowering millions of women with flexible careers (the iconic Avon Lady), and driving massive growth through its direct-sales model, making it a cultural touchstone representing female entrepreneurship and community connection.

    Enjoy watching this iconic 1956 Avon commercial from the ‘Ding Dong, Avon Calling’ campaign. Its reminder to ‘Take Time Out for Beauty’ still resonates today—carve out a few daily minutes for yourself, treating your beauty routine as essential self-care rather than another task to rush through. In our fast-paced lives, pausing to mindfully apply skincare, perfect your signature makeup look, or choose the right fragrance transforms beauty into a rewarding moment you’ve earned, not just another box to check.
