The Canadian Press: As money, age draw men to skin-care business, Avon rep grows a moustache
ORLANDO, Fla. - This Avon rep wears a hard hat and carries a pile of company catalogues to his day job on a construction site, encouraging the men to buy their ladies a little something.Perfume and lingerie are his top sellers. Oh, and he won’t go a day without the women’s wrinkle cream.
Meet Bobby McKinney. Your local Avon man.
“Forget the product, forget it’s Avon. This is a very viable business,” says the 58-year-old fire code inspector from Winter Haven, Fla. He made about $800,000 in sales last year along with his wife and has about 170 sales reps under him.

It’s nice to see men coming aboard with AVON and they do great at it, other men will be more at home buying from a man, one local male rep used to go to the truckstops and have $1500 in orders every 2 weeks. I’m helping make my Land Rover payments from mine and hope by Christmas to be doing them by myself. AVON isn’t just make up any more, it’s jewelry, fashion trends, skin care, home items, wellness. And AVON supports community projects like Breast Cancer and has come out in the fight to draw attention to Domestic Violence.
AVON Reps get great commission and bonuses plus now there’s also health and life insurance available and a savings plan like a 401 (K). They’ve evolved with the times and are a greta company to build a home business under. I’ve only been with them a year and I love my AVON!
