A new landscape, changing floor format, K-Beauty, and picking up speed-to-market

Zinn Moore discusses how the beauty industry and real estate landscape have been changing from being brand oriented, how education and staffing have changed, the critical growing impact of artificial intelligence and cameras, smart mirrors, and customers looking for a way to walk around different departments, get various advice, and ring up in one place. The interest in changing the format of retail store floors to be more open and have the ability to walk around. The influx of K-Beauty along with fragrance growth for Asians, the need for speed-to-market to pick up, and a snack of Tate’s cookies that gets the whole room smiling.
