Anyone who is familiar with the direct selling industry has heard of Mary Kay. For over four decades now, the name Mary Kay has been tantamount to quality and success. With more than two million independent consultants all over the world, Mary Kay is continuously expanding its horizons to offer better business opportunities to everyone.
Mary Kay is known to a lot of people as one of the most successful direct selling companies in the world but it is not known to many how this world-renowned company came to be. A woman named Mary Kay Ash established Mary Kay, after she resigned from her position as National training director at a direct selling company. Like many women in the corporate world, Mary Kay Ash found herself being overworked and yet underappreciated.
Soon after she left the company, she set out to start her very own direct selling company with the help of her son. Mary Kay Ash used up all of her savings to start “Beauty by Mary Kay”—a lifestyle direct selling company that is aimed at making every woman, regardless of occupation, feel special. She opened the very first office in a small business location in Dallas.
When Mary Kay first opened its doors in the fall of 1963, they were only limited to selling skincare and makeup products. It did not take too long for Mary Kay to expand its product base, in 1965, Mary Kay launched its first clothing line—a selection of suits made especially for women who wanted to dress for success.
Mary Kay Ash started Beauty by Mary Kay primarily to give women a chance to make something out of their lives without having to give up their family life to launch and maintain their careers. The Company now has over 2 million independent consultants, serving 35 markets all over the world. Mary Kay is, without a doubt, one of the biggest and most successful direct selling companies in the world.
Mary Kay offers a wide-range of products that every woman can enjoy. The company is best known for their skincare and makeup products, as their line of Mary Kay makeup and skincare has been around since the company’s inception in 1963. From basic skin care to anti-aging products, there is a Mary Kay product for all women regardless of age.
Mary Kay also features a line of fragrances for both men and women. Their line of Mary Kay products for men also includes basic skin care and sun care. Having been in the industry for almost five decades, the company ensures that all products are sold with their customer’s satisfaction guaranteed.
When Mary Kay Ash founded the company in 1963, she knew that for any company to succeed it was necessary to provide products that are of high quality while still managing to keep prices at a reasonable rate. She wanted a company that was made especially to understand the needs of women and this is exactly what Mary Kay is all about—a company that provides great opportunities for all women from all walks of life. Having been in the direct selling industry herself before she started her own company, Mary Kay Ash knew that for any salesperson to succeed it was necessary to believe in the products that she sold. With Mary Kay products, every distributor can be assured that what they are selling their customers have been tested for quality and since the company has already built a name for itself in the direct selling industry, selling the products need not be as difficult as selling a new product that is unknown to the public.
