Sephora launched the ‘Store of the Future’ retail concept in Shanghai, China in June 2023, and it's not just any ordinary store. The global cosmetic giant is partnering with Hanshow, one of the global leaders in digital store solutions, to digitize its store and create an immersive shopping experience for its customers.
In today's fast-paced retail industry, it's essential for retailers to adapt to changing consumer demands and preferences. By partnering with Hanshow, Sephora is taking a step ahead in providing customers with a more personalized experience that combines the convenience of online shopping with the tactile experience of a physical store. So far, Hanshow has successfully equipped all 160 of Sephora's stores in China with electronic shelf label solutions, meeting their integration and management needs for IoT devices and information. This achievement is a result of Hanshow's exceptional product quality, excellent and timely service network, and continuous investment in innovative research and development.
Hanshow's ESL Technology Enhances the Customer Shopping Experience
Hanshow's cutting-edge ESL technology enables Sephora to showcase its vast range of beauty products in a more dynamic and engaging manner. Customers can access product information, prices, and even reviews from other shoppers with the touch of a button, making it easier for them to make informed purchasing decisions.
With a simple tap on Hanshow's ESL, shoppers can use their mobile phones to access the official product page and get more information about the product. This not only provides customers with an enhanced shopping experience but also enables retailers to track shopper behavior and preferences and adapt their inventory accordingly. Hanshow's ESL technology enables stores to update prices and promotions in real-time, eliminating the need for manual price updates and reducing the risk of pricing errors. This provides retailers with greater control over their inventory and enables them to respond quickly to market changes and customer demand.
Hanshow’s ESLs have not only introduced innovative functionality applications but have also addressed Sephora's specific requirements in the cosmetics retail scene. Sephora showcases a vast range of beauty and fragrance items in its stores, and some of these products' chemical components can cause corrosion when in contact with electronic products for an extended period. Hanshow has provided appropriate products and solutions to tackle this issue, successfully resolving this challenge for Sephora.
The partnership between Hanshow and Sephora is a testament to the importance of ESL technology in the retail industry and also showcases Hanshow’s commitment to providing innovative solutions that help retailers thrive in this ever-changing retail landscape. By digitizing its store, Sephora is creating a more immersive experience for its customers, and Hanshow’s ESL technology is at the forefront of this digital transformation.
