Health and beauty retailer A.S. Watson is aiming to set a new standard for fast deliveries to fulfil the increasingly demanding needs of SEA beauty consumers.
Hong Kong-headquartered beauty retailer A.S. Watson is eyeing what it sees as a gap in the market for skin care and masstige segments for success in its first venture into the Middle East.
People are craving the face-to-face interaction of shopping in-person despite the pandemic-induced growth of e-commerce, according to a new report by A.S. Watson
Beauty retailer and pharmacy chain A.S. Watson is pushing forward with multiple sustainability initiatives but says meeting consumer consumers expectations in terms of product design and cost remains a challenge.
The investments poured into the digital transformation of its front and backend systems have put retailer Watsons in a strong position to tackle the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, according to its Group COO.
A.S. Watson’s health and beauty operations in Asia have managed to deliver growth of 7% in 2019, despite the political unrest that plagued Hong Kong it the second half of the year.
Health and beauty retailer A.S. Watson has observed a strong recovery in China after over a month of store closures due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
Watsons has launched a new concept store that integrates online and offline (O+O), which it says creates a new shopping experience for younger consumers.
Health and beauty retailer Watsons is launching cloud-based stores in China this quarter to refine the ‘round-the-clock’ shopping experience for consumers.
