** Disclosure: Sasha Muradali works for Proof Integrated Communications, a division of Burson-Marsteller, the public relations agency representing Avon for the 125th anniversary celebration. She was not personally compensated by Avon for attendance or for this post.**
Marketed as “the company for women,” sold in over 100 markets around the globe by over 6.5 million independent sales representatives and founded in 1886 in New York City, New York, Avon is the the world’s largest direct seller of consumer goods who is currently celebrating their 125th Anniversary on a massive, global tour.

Not to mention the fact that @BitsOfBeauty, who I’ve known for years and went to UF with, was in town too!
So why on the world am I telling you this?
Besides, for the fact that it’s super cool that Twitter helped me build relationships — I’m telling you this because my experience is a product that is rooted in the core fundamentals [Read more...]
