A new subscription based sampling program has popped up! This one is a collaboration of beauty retailer, Beauty Bar and Allure magazine and together they are SampleSociety. Sample Society delivers the most exclusive samples of hair-care, makeup, skin-care and fragrance products plus expert information each month.
As
the number-one driver of discovery and purchase, sampling has solidified its
position as the backbone of the 30-billion-dollar beauty industry. Product
sampling has long been a marketing tool, with samples of all kinds reaching 70 million households each quarter.* In
fact, according to a national poll, 49 percent of women say sampling is
the top purchase motivator when it comes to new beauty products.**
Beauty is the only industry to reinvent sampling and turn it into a paid
service.
The
beauty sampling experience has evolved from the passive and free department
store gift-with-purchase model to a sought-after service women are willing to
pay to join. Beauty Bar and Allure
are reinventing it yet again—by marrying expert advice and
insight from Allure editors with
deluxe samples culled from Beauty Bar’s expansive selection of high-end
domestic and international products—to create the ultimate beauty Sample Society.
“Given the thousands of beauty
products that are introduced each year, sampling just makes sense,” says Linda
Wells, editor in chief of Allure.
“Who can really buy all those products? Who has the time to try them all? With
Sample Society, the products are edited, and the sizes are ideal for multiple
uses—so you can really figure out if the product is right for you. And what I
also love about it is that the box feels like a present. It offers the pleasure
of discovery.”
