     10 retail trends & strategies from other markets

    There's a lot happening in other industries that could provide some food for thought for beauty retailers, from in-store kiosks, disloyalty cards and sample stores.

    Gone are the days when private-label beauty was the poor cousin of branded products. Now a more sophisticated and targeted offer from retailers is driving category sales. 
     

    TV shopping has grown up. Home-shopping channels have disassociated themselves from infomercials, rebranded and come up with better quality selling platforms, which have even been likened to producing the same excitement that used to be found in department stores.


    The naturals market
    The natural personal-care category is the shining star of the global beauty market. According to research firm Kline & Company, these products accounted for 15% of the global cosmetics and toiletries market in 2009.
     
    South Korea’s beauty market has shown its resilience throughout the recession. According to Korean beauty group Amoré Pacific, the cosmetics market grew by 12.5% in 2009 with retail sales of KRW7.38 trillion ($6.41bn).
