Welcome to the personalised beauty global series
Personalization is shaking up the beauty industry and driving innovations in beauty tech like never before. It’s not enough anymore to ask the consumer which fragrance they want. Across beauty and personal care women and men want products that are completely personalized to them, from product development to personalized customer experience.
This level of personalization of both products and customer experience is essential in gaining your consumer’s trust, loyalty and preventing cart abandonment. Consumers are starting to move away from brand affinities so now is the perfect time to make yourself stand out from the pack and cement your space in the beauty market.
With personalization, the possibilities are endless! From ingredients to texture to packaging. Join us Face to Face in San Francisco at The Personalized Beauty Summit to gain the industry insights to spark your creativity and meet the partners to help you move from making recommendations to a completely personalized experience.
See you in San Francisco 30-31 March
