AVON Takes Steps To Ensure Ads No Longer Run On Glenn Beck’s Show
Recently, AVON advertisements began appearing on Glenn Beck’s program.
As with other advertisers, participants in the StopBeck effort sprang to action. We kindly requested that they follow the responsible action of well over 100 other former advertisers and refrain from advertising on Glenn Beck’s show.
Well, your efforts paid off. AVON confirmed that their ads will no longer run on Glenn Beck’s program.
AVON’s statement sent to the StopBeck effort:
Following up on our discussion yesterday, I want to clarify that we did not intentionally purchase commercials in or around that program. We have taken steps to ensure that our ads will not run inadvertently during the show.
Great work all!
Onward we go…

Your choice to boycott Glenn Beck is really sad. I thought Avon was an American icon
for women. Too bad because I will never buy Avon again and I will tell all my friends of
your decision and why I am no longer your customer. You should listen to what he is
telling the American public, because it is the truth or is all you are interested in is the
money you make?

I will never again buy Avon—-I believe this is an absolute affront to free speech and not “worse” than things which were said about previous Presidents….bye bye Avon——
