Fresh new store format for Edgars Beauty

According to the retailer, the new format was informed by years of data and customer research. It boasts an updated look and a stronger product offering, including new categories to form a full beauty offering.

Edgars Beauty stores will give customers the chance to play with colour, learn to apply make-up, get a make-over, and shop from international brands including Mac, Inglot, Dior, Guerlain, Givenchy and Benefit. New categories like specialised derma (skincare), bath & body, both dry and wet hair, and selected services will be offered in the new store formats.

Over the last few years, the Red Square business was slowly transformed into a mini version of a larger Edgars cosmetics department, offering similar brand selection, same promotions and ultimately engaging the same customer. “As a brand, we’re creating more and more space for our customers to express themselves as individuals. What better way to self-express than through the playfulness of beauty,’’ says Mike Elliott, Edgars CE.

Elliott adds that through smart merchandising, customers will also find it much easier to find exactly what they’re looking for. At the same time, Edgars has also committed to more specialised training for in-store staff, so that the services themselves become more individualised to better serve the customers’ diverse beauty needs and concerns.
