AVON is still calling but not as you might once have known it.
Avon has been delivering cosmetics to Tasmanian homes for 50 years.
In the early days, Avon representatives were almost exclusively women or "Avon ladies" as they were affectionately known.
But today husbands are teaming up with wives to run Avon businesses and few people raise a plucked eyebrow when a man delivers the goods or catalogues.
In fact, the first "Avon lady" to knock on a door to sell cosmetics was a bloke.
It was 1886, and struggling New York door-to-door salesman David McConnell decided he would do better selling perfumes than selling books.
Avon started operating in Australia in 1963 and is still the top direct-selling company in the nation.
Hobart Avon representative Frayne Higgins teamed up with his wife Jo-Anne to sell cosmetics 11 years ago.
He enjoys the job and says he has never been ribbed by other men for selling cosmetics.
"Also, I never run out of shampoo or deodorant," he said this week before making deliveries in Hobart.
"The No.1 sales team in Australia is a husband and wife.
"There is another man selling Avon full-time in Southern Tasmania and a number of smaller operators starting out around the state."
