Here is an excerpt from the book "Avon: Building the World's Premier Company for Women"

Because Avon issues a new brochure in the United States every two weeks, and in international markets every three or four weeks, product development at the company is done at a much more intense pace.  Traditional retailers reset their departments a couple of times a year and can lean on several manufacturers to deliver new products and novelty to keep interest high.  Avon, on the other hand, is essentially resetting its beauty department 26 times a year, and only has itself to count on.

The process is like a spinning top that may wind down at times but never slows enough to tip.  Avon invents at least 1,000 new beauty products every year.  It is an astounding number that far outpaces the productivity at any other beauty company.
