November 29, 2016: 12:00 AM EST
Following its recent restructuring, Avon’s broad strategy continues to clarify. In its latest investor presentation the company emphasized its three-pronged approach: drive out costs through improving its operating model and supply chain (target savings of $350MM), strengthening its balance sheet and investing in grow ($150MM allocated to media investments and social selling and $200MM invested in IT and service model evolution). The company is strongly focused on beauty (74% of sales) and intends to concentrate on 40 brands centered in skincare, personal care, fragrance and color. To boost sales, Avon is promising to invest in innovation, improve representative engagement and leverage social media in selling, which it sees as strongly synergistic with its direct selling model.
