In recent years, a notable shift has occurred in the beauty retail landscape, with an influx of high-end beauty brands opting to showcase their products in Amazon U.S. stores. Recent Amazon Beauty brand store launches include several Estée Lauder Companies brands such as Clinique, Lab Series, and Smashbox; L’Oréal Luxe brands such as Kiehl’s and Viktor&Rolf Fragrance; and well-known brands such as Bond No. 9 Fragrance, True Botanicals, Dolce & Gabbana Fragrance, and The Outset by Scarlett Johansson, among others. This evolution is igniting conversation around the factors influencing this trend, the ways customer shopping behavior is driving innovation, and the collaborative strategies employed by Amazon to foster collaborations with both large and small beauty companies.

In an upcoming (virtual) webinar with Melis del Rey, GM of Beauty, Baby and Beauty Technology, Amazon U.S. Stores, del Rey will discuss how the current moment presents unique opportunities for beauty brands working with Amazon, driven by several key factors including a uniquely broad and diverse customer reach. Other topics to be discussed:

  • Amazon has strategically identified three core customer behaviors (replenishers, brand loyalists, and explorers); del Rey will share how understanding them has led Amazon Beauty to make key investments in the Beauty shopping experience through hyper-personalized and connected journeys.
  • Since last year, Amazon Beauty has enhanced its support for brand collaborations, offering new opportunities for growth. In this conversation, del Rey will share how Amazon tailors its approach to leverage a brand’s unique strengths whether it is working with an indie brand or a larger company.
  • Amazon shopping events such as Prime Day and Beauty Hauls have proven to be particularly effective in driving discovery and sales. During this chat, del Rey will dive into Amazon’s upcoming 2024 Holiday Beauty Haul, which runs from October 21 through November 3, and features thousands of beauty deals from brands such as Clinique, COSRX, Revlon, Sol de Janiero, Viktor&Rolf, and Youth to the People.
  • As Amazon Beauty continues to grow and evolve, its commitment to adding value to the beauty industry remains paramount. In this discussion, del Rey will explain how by fostering partnerships without cannibalizing existing retail channels, Amazon is not just reshaping how beauty brands reach consumers, it’s redefining the beauty shopping experience.
