Douglas launches marketplace for beauty products. Douglas, one of the leading premium beauty retailers in Europe, is launching an exclusive partner programme and becoming the number one marketplace for beauty products in Europe.
Company is expanding its assortment
With this step, the company is expanding its assortment of some 50,000 premium quality products in the Douglas online shop to include brands from exclusively selected partners. “With the Douglas Partner Programme as the heart of our platform strategy, we are expanding our beauty assortment without building up additional inventories. We are offering product worlds of even greater diversity and can thus provide our customers with a unique one-stop shopping experience”, explains Vanessa Stützle, Executive Vice President E-Commerce & CRM.
Douglas launches marketplace – partners must meet high quality standards
In a first step, the Douglas assortment will be expanded by an additional offering of more than 10,000 products from the accessories and natural cosmetics segments, such as products from natural cosmetics supplier Talea and fashion accessory supplier Brandfield. Furthermore, around 20 other exclusive partners, including parfumdreams, are getting ready to sell their products via the Douglas online shop in Germany. Meanwhile, Douglas is also negotiating with a further 100 potential partners. The exclusive programme partners are carefully curated and must meet high quality standards.
