Oriflame is the Company with the three founders in the
very beginning who packed the ordered cosmetic products at the tennis table in the
old garage. And today we know Oriflame as
one of the most reputed companies of Sweden. Their first catalogue they issued
was a single page with the only cream packed casually. In the 21st century
Oriflame cosmetic products are easily recognizable and loved in every corner of
the world, though mostly this brand is oriented for the countries of
post-Soviet space as Poland,
Romania, Czech Republic and Slovakia. And the secret story of
this Company is worth considering.
Some time
pack in the past
Oriflame Company
was founded by brothers Jonas and Robert af Jochnick in 1967 in Sweden.
The name of the Company was inspired from a poetic work when oriflamme stood
for the banner of the King of France in the 16th century. The legend says the
banner was used to be taken to the monastery prior to any battle to sanctify
and then it was believed to bring the long-waited victory and protect from
losses. The basic policy line of the Company is manufacture of the natural
cosmetic products from ecological friendly Swedish regions. The brothers
employed the innovative strategy as the network marketing to promote their
goods on the market and today this strategy is the most profitable and known to
most American people.
Jonas af Jochnick
remembered the time when the first cream of the Company never looked elegant
since they initiated working at customs but they were short in time to consider
better packing. Thus, the first cosmetic products line was promoted with the logo:
«Beauty is inside not outside». And only in 80s of the 20th century
the Company came with the designer egg-shaped package for their cosmetic goods
for the new Swedish Care line.
Within
three year Oriflame turned into one of the most reputed cosmetic companies in
the world. And in the soonest two years the Company acquired international
license when they opened a headquarter in Brussels.
In the 21st
century Oriflame is the network marketing in over 60 countries of the world,
with over million of active consultants which also distribute the products.

components. The components include enriched vitamin complexes, extracts from wheat

The

scientific achievements which ensure the perfect result. Though, not everyone
is happy with the quality of products. So, some nourishing creams can bring to
allergic reaction while anti-ageing cream does not have the anticipated effect.
Shampoo of the Company are also claimed against facing adverse effect than
anticipated. However, the hand creams and face masks are favored a lot. By the
way, the delivery terms and no options to choose the lipstick or powder tone in
the catalogue refer to drawbacks of the Company marketing.

products. And the Company analysts track the seasonal trends to react which are
