Avon calling: cosmetics giant eyes expansion into department stores

Article Abstract:

Avon is negotiating with Sears, Roebuck and Co and with JC Penney and Co Inc to set up Avon counters in their stores. According to industry experts, Avon's move aims to attract different consumers. Beginning in the second half of 2001, consumers could sample and purchase a full line of Avon products that will be sold in stores. The products would be different from those sold by the company door to door and they would also have a different brand name, packaging and price points.
