Door-to-door direct sales company Avon was wildly popular for a while, and was perhaps one of the first multi-level marketing companies to become so successful. Many mothers looking for a fun and part-time job loved the idea of becoming an “Avon lady” but it’s important to know that a lot of the products being sold were not worth the Avon price.

Gendered Everything

This is a contentious one: gendered clothing and products have always been very popular with Boomers, but are falling out of favor with younger generations, especially with Millennials, and fiercely by Gen-Z. Many people are no longer identifying as just one gender and choosing a color to represent each gender is pretty sexist, so having gendered products probably don’t make much sense anymore.
