More recently, Avon came out with two new brands, “M” and “mark”. M is an Avon catalogue and line of products for men. Mark is an Avon line targeted to younger, college aged women (18-25). The Mark product line has been very successful and features a monthly ‘magalog’ that showcases the latest and most popular Avon cosmetics and other products geared toward younger cosmetics shoppers.
