𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗲 𝗘𝗿𝗮 🔥 Taylor Swift is currently touring Europe with her iconic Eras Tour and has made a stop in Hamburg at the Volksparkstadion. Of course, we couldn't resist and invited 60 international influencers to shake it off with us. We were thrilled to have Wella, ghd, one.two.free!, OPI, NARS, and Jimmy Choo as amazing brand partners on our side, who created the beautiful styling according to the eleven eras of the music icon. With this gorgeous styling, we definitely never go out of style. One thing that should of course not be missed at a Taylor Swift concert are the friendship bracelets that are shared between fans. That's why there was also a station for making bracelets before the concert during the get-ready. With events like this, we not only achieve a large reach on the social channels of our guests and can showcase us as a brand but we can also further bond with the influencers and strengthen our relationship with them. We certainly lived our wildest dreams at the Eras Tour! ✨ 📸 (c) hopestudio

As a member of the EcoBeautyScore Consortium, we are working on a standardized label to evaluate the environmental impact of cosmetic products, aiming to guide consumers better. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿! 💪 We collaborate with over 70 international beauty brands and leaders to create an industry-wide standard.   Beatrice Billot, VP Brand Management and Activation Corporate Brands at DOUGLAS Group, explains: "We believe that we can achieve a lot with the joint work of all industry partners in the EcoBeautyScore Consortium. It is a benefit for everyone and an important step towards greater transparency and sustainability."   As a company, we have an ambitious sustainability strategy. For example, we have committed ourselves to ensuring that 80% of our corporate brands are vegan by 2030 and 100% of our packaging is recyclable, recycled or reusable. In summer 2023, we launched our "Naturals" skincare range. This contains at least 98% ingredients of natural origin. #TeamDOUGLAS #Sustainability #ESG

We celebrated the grand opening with numerous highlights and activities. Our customers enjoyed raffles, product testing, and expert consultations by our beauty advisors. A really special moment for all visitors: Hollywood star and testimonial for our international campaign “Beauty is ...”, 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗞𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗲𝗿, joined the opening event to celebrate together with our #TeamDOUGLAS in Vienna. ✨ The heart of Vienna glowed in mint: Dancers in DOUGLAS-colored costumes transformed the city center into a lively dance theatre and directed customers to the store. The event space in front of the store hosted masterclasses from popular brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Carolina Herrera, and Florence by Mills. ✨ The newly re-opened store combines historic Viennese luxury with modern elegance. Spread over two floors and encompassing 795 square meters, the store offers an extensive range of premium brands and personalized beauty services. Customers can explore a curated mix of innovative, best-selling, and classic products. The first floor showcases thematically divided brand and product worlds, from face care to trendy make-up products. The upper floor is dedicated to luxury and niche fragrances. The grand re-opening marks a significant milestone in the development of our store network expansion and the implementation of our strategy 'Let it Bloom'. 🌸 🌍 Congratulations to Veit W., Gerhard Kupferschmid, Manuela Vielhaber, and #TeamDOUGLAS on this amazing achievement! 📸 (c) Philipp Lipiarski

We are constantly growing and have ambitious plans for the future, as we want our stores to become a unique point of experience. With approximately 1,860 stores as the backbone of our business, we're making substantial investments to enhance our presence throughout Europe. In the latest interview on our Corporate Blog, our SVP Group Controlling & Real Estate, Marcel Uphues, shares insights into our strategy and explains what drives our store network expansion. He explains: "Our stores are essential for our success. In four out of five cases, our stores play at least a partial role in the customer journey. The new openings and refurbishments are part of our strategic portfolio development, as we see significant potential for growth and are not yet fully represented in all markets. We expect to open more than 20 additional stores by the end of the current financial year and are fully on track to achieve our goal of opening more than 200 stores by the end of the financial year 2025/26.” 👉 Read the full interview and learn more about our strategy and expansion plans in our latest blog post here: https://lnkd.in/eXFXCGqi  #DOUGLASGroup #LetItBloom
