Kohl's expands Babies R Us shops as Sephora sales dip

Kohl's is expanding its partnership with Babies R Us, adding shop-in-shops to 56 more stores and introducing an exclusive collection of baby essentials. The move comes as Sephora at Kohl's, previously a key traffic driver, experiences declining sales, down 4% in Q2 after a low-single-digit drop in Q1. The expansion includes new categories like gifting options under $25, Millie Moon diapers, and Hallmark gift sets. This strategic shift highlights Kohl's efforts to diversify its offerings and boost in-store traffic, which has been challenged but is showing signs of recovery.

Dialog Marketing Monitor 2026: Consumers Value Savings, Distrust Manipulation

The Dialog Marketing Monitor 2026, a study by Deutsche Post in collaboration with Statista+, surveyed 1,500 consumers in Germany about their attitudes towards advertising, particularly postal mail. Key findings reveal a paradox: 71% say advertising helps them save money, while 63% feel manipulated by it. Despite skepticism, postal advertising remains effective: 44% have made a purchase based on addressed mailings, and 76% open them. Coupons and product samples are strong purchase drivers, with 75% redeeming coupons and 79% making a purchase after a sample. Consumers find postal advertising more trustworthy than online (56%), and many (68%) prefer reading longer texts in print.

The study highlights the enduring relevance of physical mail as a trusted channel, especially when it delivers tangible value.
