But the tour is not just about beauty; it's also designed to build relationships by sharing the earning opportunity that the company offers women. This year, the recruitment program will feature local sales managers talking to visitors about sales opportunities and the one-on-one beauty relationship that has been the hallmark of Avon for 120 years.
Visitors can do a beautiful thing for someone else through the "Speak Out Loud! City Challenge," a program that supports the Avon Foundation's Speak Out Against Domestic Violence initiative. Visitors are invited to sign a pledge to "Speak Out" and show their city's commitment to ending domestic violence. The Foundation will award grants to domestic violence organizations in every city the tour visits, and a domestic violence agency in the city that collects the most signatures will receive an additional $20,000 grant. Domestic violence affects one in three women around the globe, and through this campaign the Avon Foundation hopes to educate and empower women and men to end the crisis.
Visitors can also enter the Avon Escape to the U.S. Virgin Islands Sweepstakes for a chance to win a six-day dream vacation for two.
This year's tour is sponsored by Tell Someone, a public education campaign from Merck and Company, Inc., which is designed to educate women about the link between cervical cancer and a common virus called HPV.
The Avon Let's Talk Beauty Tour is already under way and will run through late fall.
Visit www.avon.com/events for a complete list of dates and cities. A beauty
tour offers a sneak peek at new products, a chance to learn about a great way to
earn money and a way to help end domestic violence.
