Admittedly, continued stress in the developed economies did create some pressure on the company’s revenue, but the same was offset by a strong performance in the Latin American and Asian markets.

As the company continues to move along the lines of its global growth strategy and backed by a strong balance sheet and sustained growth in operating cash flows to support its activities, the company has a bright future going forward.

Avon Products, Inc. (NYSE:AVP) once the first choice for every woman’s beauty care needs is slowly and steadily facing a decline in demand and sales.

2012 saw the company face a year-over-year 5% decline in overall revenues clocking in $10.7 billion, a 5 % decline in beauty products and a percentage point decline in representative count. Although, with over 6 million representatives the company remains the largest direct selling company in the world.

CEO Sheri McCoy has expressed a sense of urgency in dealing with the matters and has been active in making changes.

Whether it is acquiring new talent to lead the global marketing, legal, supply chain and human resources functions, or setting robust targets for capacity expansions and IT infrastructure by way of retiring existing legacy systems and introducing state of the art IT infrastructure to boost supply chain and overall representative experience, the new management is leaving no stone unturned to get the wheels rolling and put the company back on the growth trajectory.

Tupperware: The company with a heart

Tupperware Brands Corporation (NYSE:TUP)’s name will go down in the history books as not just a company which worked for profits, but an organization with values and integrity. An organization which believed in the power of women and the immense potential they have to contribute to their family not just by taking care of them physically and emotionally but also financially.

The company now has its eye set on the emerging markets of BRIC, and if the company continues to move on the standards it has set for itself, there is no end for the good times to come for the company, its 3 million sales force and most importantly you – the investor.
