At its core, BHG Singapore believes retail has evolved from just quick transactions and having products on the shop floor to a more immersive retail experience with personalised services, retail theatrics via digital touch points and a seamless transition from discovery, exploration and purchase, both offline and online.
This business model transformation was initiated a year ago – starting first with a change in culture, skill sets of our teams and in our technology. The renovation of BHG’s 13,000 square feet Flagship Store at Bugis Junction Level one marks one of the important milestones of this transformation, which BHG expects to keep driving over the next few years.
Double the choices with double the number of of beauty brands
Today’s beauty shoppers have developed a much more varied, broader and nuanced set of preferences with ever-changing trends being set and shared real time on social media everyday. To meet those needs, BHG’s flagship Beauty Hall at Bugis Junction level 1 has doubled the number of beauty brands – from 48 brands to 94 brands – and expanded the beauty categories with a curated collection of international beauty brands and nature-inspired brands at affordable pricing.
Shoppers are in for more delightful surprises as they explore iconic brands such as Estée Lauderand Shiseido at their refreshed counters. The new counter design creates a store-in-store experience that encourages exploration and offers a more private and welcoming section for personalised consultation.
