When entering new towns Sephora’s marketing brilliance shines through in their direct engagement with consumers. Huge statements emblazoned across hoardings such as ‘Newcastle, we heard you like stripes’ and ‘Manchester, you called it’ demonstrate their personalised approach, building strong connections with their audience and the community.
In today’s ever-evolving retail landscape, shopping centres are seeking new and innovative ways to keep consumers happy and drive further footfall. One way to stay ahead of the game is through the introduction of exciting and trending brands such as Sephora.
The beauty sector has emerged as a powerhouse, driving significant growth and innovation within the industry and is spearheaded by the likes of Sephora. Relaunching in the UK last year, Sephora is marking its territory and growing its presence across the country.
By joining forces with this global giant, Eldon Square has the opportunity to transform and elevate its status as a premier shopping destination as well as helping to redefine the beauty landscape within the region.
So how can a flagship brand like Sephora elevate a shopping destination such as Eldon Square?
– A footfall magnet drawing in shoppers who are eager to explore an?extensive selection of beauty brands, all under one roof. The loss of many department stores over the years means Sephora will drive the return of customers longing for high street beauty options.
– By embracing the beauty sector’s growth and partnering with Sephora, Eldon Square can revolutionise its retail and elevate its status as a leading shopping hub. A large beauty offering can attract diverse customers, from trend-seeking enthusiasts to skincare aficionados.
– An influx of traffic to a store can also generate increased revenue not?only for Sephora but also for other retailers within schemes, it creates a ripple effect of success throughout the centre.
– In the digital age, beauty trends on platforms like TikTok and Instagram spread rapidly. A physical location offers a tactile experience that online retailers can’t replicate.
– Brands such as Sephora whose inclusive vision nurtures self-confidence and self-expression in a welcoming environment, attracts a diverse customer base that resonate with today’s consumers, particularly GenZ, increasing footfall from those who value authenticity and openness.
– Personalisation is key, makeup and skincare vary for each individual. This need emphasises the importance of tailored face-to-face experiences for every customer.
