Younique, Arbonne International, Rodan and Fields, and many other direct marketing cosmetics companies have popped up on recent years http://work-at-home.careertrends.com/. They are the newer, more modern version of the “Avon lady”. Avon uses home parties to sell to customers. The newer companies use person-to-person, but also a great deal of social networking sites to get their customer base. Avon needed to grow with the industry. Other companies have created competitive advantage over Avon. Avon was deemed the Worst company of 2015 http://247wallst.com/consumer-products/2015/03/06/worst-company-of-2015-avon/. That, should have signaled a need for change, but even with new leadership, Avon kept failing.<br />Again, Avon needed to do one of these three things to comeback: Cost reduction, product differentiation, or hope the competitive industry reduced (and that clearly did not happen). Avon didn’t innovate and they didn’t employ a low-cost strategy, so the obvious happened.<br />gp1999https://www.blogger.com/profile/06043490273193824698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752771132348583018.post-31617261556544445352016-03-07T17:35:57.285-06:002016-03-07T17:35:57.285-06:00These sort of things are something that always hav...These sort of things are something that always have effect on the market, so we got to be careful with how we work out everything.
