Avon gentleman calling! Cosmetics company enters a new era
- September 28, 2007 3:23 PM
- By Commodities
The Associated Press
This Florida-based 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 US in sales last year along with his wife and has about 170 sales reps under him.
McKinney is one of a growing number of male salesmen selling products from the New York-based beauty company. It's also part of a strategic move by Avon to broaden its appeal.
Sales to men and an increasing number of products for them has helped Avon's bottom line, with sales growing from about $6.2 billion US in 2002 to $8.7 billion in 2006.
Yankees star Derek Jeter partnered with the company to create Driven, his own line of products which includes cleansers, cologne, aftershave and deodorant. His cologne became Avon's bestselling men's fragrance of all time, and its second bestselling fragrance overall.
Avon recently produced their first men's catalogue, which features boxer shorts and power tools. New recruiting brochures also picture both men and women.
"Anti-aging is very intriguing to [men]," said Regina Dinisio, public-relations manager of Avon fragrance. "They want no-hassle products, but they want to see the real benefits."
Industry experts say the men's market is ripe although still in its early stages.
"We have seen that men are more interested in pampering themselves and taking better care of themselves overall," said Karen Grant, senior beauty industry analyst at market research company NPD Group Inc.
Fewer than 13,000 of Avon's 650,000 representatives in the U.S. are male, although that figure is approximate because applicants are not required to state their gender. Competitor Mary Kay says 5,738 of its 700,000 sales reps are men.
McKinney entered the Avon world three years ago when he realized his wife, Joy, a 20-year Avon veteran, was doing six figures a year in sales. With some experience in network marketing already, McKinney started teaching sales courses to new reps, passing out brochures and filling orders. Today, about 80 per cent of his clients are men.
Jovial and stocky with a blond goatee, McKinney's a Marine Corps vet who says he twice took shrapnel hits in Vietnam and wrestled professionally under the name "Cowboy Bobby Steel." He's no David Beckham-styled metrosexual.
Women love the Avon man, too. He coos over their babies and isn't afraid to talk makeup. His gender is irrelevant, said longtime McKinney customer Rhonda Bryant.
"Not in today's world," she said. "Men and women do everything."

When turning and accelerating from a dead stop, the rear end shudders momentarily as if the wheels are slipping on gravel.
Happens only when trailering.
The state agency I'm employed with bought a bunch of these 2008 and newer f450s and at least 2 have had radiator leaks on the plastic tank seams. That's $1600 a pop for the Ford dealer to replace the radiator.
Another one was found low on coolant today after I gave the driver a heads up on our problem.
My personal truck is a 97 f150 with 80K miles and its radiator went bad this past January.
My wife's 97 Expedition started leaking right before Christmas.
She was lucky, it leaked bad enough that we saw it before the engine was damaged: my truck had to have a new motor.
I like Fords, but this makes me want to try something else.

Coach Sandy Thornton said: "I'm very proud. It's better than I could've expected. We've got stronger and stronger as the tournament has progressed.

Thanking the GB fans, she said:"We have a terrific team spirit and are going for gold."
Team GB enjoyed success in the triathlon with Oliver Ziff and Michael Bibring taking gold.
Ziff won the Junior event and came third overall in the senior competition.
Bibring, who was a flagbearer at the Opening Ceremony, won the Over 50s competition.
The Over 45s Masters football team remain on course for gold after reaching the final.

The Maccabiah Games is over for GB's Open cricket team after 29 wides followed by a batting collapse saw them miss out on a medal match altogether following a 43-run defeat to India in Lod on Sunday.
Needing to win to reach the final, the result means Australia playing Israel in the bronze medal match, and defending champions South Africa playing GB's conquerors India in the final.
Maccabiah Games – Day 7
Open football quarter-final: Team GB 2 USA 0

Maccabiah Games Day 6
Open football: GB 2 Brazil 0
Team GB will play the USA in the quarter-finals of the Open football competition on Sunday morning after a brilliant performance saw them beat Brazil 2-0 at Ketzef Central.

Team GB are through to the last eight of the Open football competition after a brilliant performance saw them beat Brazil 2-0 at Ketzef Central.
Knowing that anything other than a win would end the team's medal hopes, GB's tactics were spot on. They were brave, cohesive and vastly improved from the game against France two days earlier.
Brazil had a man sent off in the last minute with GB trying to run down the clock.
Masters Over 35 football – Game 3
GB 5 South Africa 1
Team GB's Over 35 footballers romped into the semi-finals with an emphatic 51 victory over South Africa at Neve Shaanan on Thursday night.
Goals from Paul Linger (2), Darren Dryer (2) and Paul Lenchner completed an exhilarating display of fluid, attacking football on the same pitch that GB's open team had lost against France 24 hours earlier.
Ex-Charlton midfielder Paul Linger opened the scoring early on with a superb curling free-kick into the top corner.
Open cricket – match 2
Australia 215, GB 93, Australia won by 122 runs
Another batting collapse resulted in Team GB suffering their second consecutive defeat as they were humbled by 122 runs against Australia in the Ashes clash on Thursday.
Having lost their opener against South Africa, GB put the Aussies into bat on the Flix wicket at Hadar Yosef. They got off to a flyer and at 100-0 after 20 overs the signs looked ominous with brothers Brad and Majtlis setting solid foundations.

One of the biggest stars of 2012 so far, Lana Del Rey, appears to have been very busy of late. Last week saw two announcements from the US singer. The first concerned the release of the video for Del Rey's next single from the number 1 album, Born To Die. 'Carmen' will be the follow-up single to the brilliant 'Video Games', 'Born To Die' and 'Blue Jeans'.
A standout track from the album, 'Carmen' appears to centre on archetypal all-round popular girl about town. The video sees Del Rey go back to the basics that made the video for her debut single such a huge YouTube phenomenon. Made up of disjointed snippets of video footage from a variety of sources, the overall vibe of the video suits the song to perfection. You can see the video here;
In other news, Del Rey has unveiled a rather exciting remix of her last single, 'Blue Jeans'. The remix is the creation of Smims & Belle and features a new verse recorded by promising newcomer, Azealia Banks, of '212' fame. An unlikely collaboration it may be, but it's a funky remix and definitely worth a few minutes of your time.

This is pretty cool too, Video Games as an 80's kind of electro disco thing (if that makes sense): http://soundcloud.com/aarondarc/lana-del-rey-video-games-aaron
Is this remix going to be released as a download…?
