Direct-Selling
A major characteristic of direct selling is the personal contact between a sales person and a consumer, away from a retail store. Avon implements the door-to-door selling type of direct selling. Avon uses freelance salespeople or agents to visit people in their own homes and to demonstrate and explain the use of a range of beauty products. Direct-selling provides important benefits to individuals who desire an opportunity to earn an income and build a business of their own. It offers the prospect of self-determination and financial independence. It also offers an alternative to consumers who want something different from the traditional shopping centers, department stores or other forms of conventional shopping. It offers an alternative to traditional employment for those who desire a flexible income-earning opportunity to supplement their household income, or whose responsibilities or circumstances do not allow for regular part-time or full-time employment (Lancaster and Reynolds 2000).
Product Trial and Sampling Events
Avon is popular for its product trial and sampling events. Avon uses events to encourage trial of its products among non-users and to encourage further purchases from existing customers. These events include demonstrations and sampling presented in supermarkets, shopping malls, and other locations where a big number of the desired target market can be reached. Avon focuses on product trial events as one of its forms of communication with the end customer. Its representatives, agents or distributors are recruited from their target markets and are encouraged to hold parties or events within their homes to offer friends and acquaintances the opportunity to try, feel, use the products, to interact with it in an experiential setting (Masterman and Wood 2006).
Cause-Related Marketing
Avon reaches around a billion women through 3 million independent sales representatives in 136 countries. The company is committed to its mission of becoming a company that understands and satisfies the product service and self-fulfillment needs of women globally. In line with this mission, the company has been supporting the “Crusade Against Breast Cancer” in order to uplift the lives of women around the world. Through this cause Avon is able to meet business marketing and communications objectives at the same time support a cause of real concern to their target market. Through Avon’s partnerships with various organizations combating breast cancer, the company is able to implement cause-related marketing strategy effectively. Avon’s cause-related marketing strategy has been implemented using a number of different elements of the marketing mix. The Crusade has involved sales of products where a proportion of the price is donated to charity. It has also included sales of charity fundraising products, sponsorship of fashion shows that aim to spread awareness about breast cancer and political lobbying through consumer petitions. Avon has benefited greatly from this association, enhancing their corporate profile, engaging new and existing customers, receiving enormous publicity, fostering feelings of affiliation among staff, representatives and customers, bringing the company’s vision to life
