Why do I see AVON ads on TV or in magazines?

Isn’t AVON a MLM company- and aren’t they supposed to just do word of mouth advertising? I just wonder if the big bucks it takes to make those ads gets taken, essentially, out of the pockets of the consultants in the long run?

Anyways, I’m just curious about this. I use my skin care/cosmetics from a different MLM company.
ETA: I use Arbonne, and its pretty popular and only uses word of mouth- its definitely possible for this type of business/company.

I don’t know, I always wondered also. My local AVON lady says she barely makes a dime out of what she sells, so I wonder…why do it?

-shrug- I don’t really shop AVON anymore. I’m starting to go more towards Mary Kay…

    no, they could advertise everywhere, like all other companies – they wouldnt get far with word of mouth

    every company has to use some type of advertisement to get there products known.. even if these advertisements r in these places customers still have to find the person that is selling it n whatever they sell of course money comes out of their pockets they dont just get every piece of change from what they sell

    They’ve started using print and TV ads since Reese Witherspoon signed on as a spokesperson.
