Cosmetic Promotions

Problem:
We don’t have the resources to customize materials for store associates.

Solution:
Cosmetic Promotions specializes in launch kits and on-going education kits for store associates. Vendors and chains have turned to us for years to create customized materials that are kitted (usually along with samples) and distributed to store associates in a variety of ways – either via the chain’s Beauty Box (that we handle for Walgreens and CVS) or via their “mail bag” program or through their DC’s using a no charge purchase order. Kits normally contain training materials, a quiz for the associate to complete to win prizes, coupons, buttons to wear, small signs such as easel cards and product samples for their use or to share with customers.
We have many sample kit items in our gallery »

Problem:
Revlon needed custom signs for a 40 store test.

Solution:
Cosmetic Promotions created a variety of signs that would fit in special stores including hanging banners, peg talkers, security covers and easel cards. In addition, we created a sampling kit for customers. Each month of the 4 month test “belonged” to a different vendor. Cosmetic Promotions customized signs or in-store events for 3 of the 4 vendors. Each one was completely unique and done to each brand’s specifications. Click the images below to view the installation »

Problem:
Rite Aid needed a way to gain attention to the Beauty Booths at the annual store management and supplier trade show.

Solution:
Vendors needed a way not only to attract the store managers to their booths but to engage and interact with them. For 8 years, Cosmetic Promotions created an executed an annual “game” that the store managers participating in to win prizes. Each year was a different theme and included fun elements – such as costume contests, unique prizes and game collateral. From “Boss Empowered”, an Austin Powers themed decoded message game (complete with Groovy Spa Briefcase and decoder glasses) to “Captain Rite Aid” the comic book hero who saved RITE AID; the participation increased annually and both the vendors and the associates looked forward to it each year.

Problem:
Four manufacturers needed ONE company to handle all aspects of their joint sweepstakes at Rite Aid

Solution:
Cosmetic Promotions was able to successfully and easily handle all the elements of a multi-tiered event for Unilever, Schick, Bayer and Kimberly Clark. The Hot Days, Cool Cash event was not only a consumer sweepstakes with a top prize of $10,000, but also had an in-store endcap, store participation contest and Single Check Rebate gift with purchase program. Cosmetic Promotions created and managed the website, received over 200,000 sweepstakes entries, distributed the prizes for both the sweepstakes and the store contest as well as the gift card GWP for the Single Check Rebate. With over $500,000 in sales, this event was considered a huge success for both the vendors and the chain.
