PANEL  

The winning formula for beauty retail.

No matter how convenient online shopping has become, brick-and-mortar retail has obvious advantages. By using data to aggregate customer insights and create a multi-sensory atmosphere with value-adding experiences, you'll remain relevant, add value, and drive revenue – both online and offline. We will talk about data-driven in-store retail, in-store experiences and why the marketplace model is working in Europe.
