DOUGLAS Group: About

The company creates value by aggregating premium and mass-premium beauty demand across digital storefronts, mobile app experiences and physical stores, then converting that demand into product sales and repeat purchasing through assortment, loyalty and omnichannel convenience. It further monetises its shopper traffic and purchase data by selling retail media placements and campaign services to beauty brands that want access to high-intent consumers near the point of purchase.
