Avon Trivia

Question: Which cosmetics company is named after the birthplace of William Shakespeare?
Answer: Shakespeare was born and brought up in Stratford-upon-Avon. During a visit to England, David McConnell, a 28 year old door-to-door bookseller was struck by the beauty of the countryside surrounding Stratford-on-Avon, and introduced a product line called Avon comprising a toothbrush, talcum powder, and vanity set. In 1939, the company’s name was changed to Avon Products Inc. Avon is the fifth-largest beauty company and second largest direct selling enterprise in the world, with 6.4 million representatives. ‪#‎avon‬ ‪#‎lovemybusiness‬
