May 8, 2018 —New York, NY


Event: 2018 Consumer, Food & Retail Conference

Presentation: Personalization in the Beauty and Personal Care Market

While the beauty and personal care product market is an exciting space that is experiencing growth, market dynamics are becoming more complicated for brands to navigate. Personalized beauty is a way for brands to better cater to consumer needs and to create loyalty and stickiness. It’s an alternative to “one size fits all” beauty products — and consumer interest in these products has been strong. As such, custom brands and experiences are growing within the beauty and personal care market. Brands that do not pursue personalized beauty are ignoring a growth area and risk being bypassed by more nimble competitors. 

Date/Location:

New York Marriott Marquis
New York, NY 

Time: 3:00 p.m. — 4:30 p.m.
