Beauty Advisor
Live Training

Walgreens needed a new, more efficient way to train their Beauty Advisors. In the past, each brand would hold schools and the Advisors were out a full day per brand. This was costing both the brands and the chain millions of dollars each year, and the ROI couldn’t support that.

CosPro Marketing created a day of associate training with 20-minute segments dedicated to the NEW items from each brand; providing the Advisors with easy to remember points of difference per product. The associate training day consisted of demonstrating hands-on techniques, customer role playing and LIVE quizzing via our Audience Response System. CosPro Marketing also created a follow along bi-lingual associate training manual, certificates, and gifts for attendees.

  • Saved chain & vendors $6 million+ annually
  • Lowest associate training cost per participant
  • Average grade was 89%
  • 6500 advisors trained in 6 weeks in 130 regions
  • 9.4/10 rating by those surveyed

Product Launch Book

One of our most popular programs is a high-end publication that highlights new product launches and includes a detachable coupon page. The books can be customized for consumers or store associates and can include tutorials as well as product training. High-value coupons provide Beauty Consultants the chance to try products at a low price in order to give their personal testimony and recommendations to customers. Consumer coupon brochures incentivize shoppers to bounce back into the store to purchase a new product.

  • Currently distributed at CVS; trains Beauty Consultants for 36 cents each!
  • Distributed to 750 stores
  • NEW for 2021: Gratis Testers added for Beauty Consultant Trial
  • Can be customized as a consumer publication with how-to’s, tutorials and customer coupon brochure
    • 45% of all shoppers use coupons most or all of the time

Customer
Engagement Kits

Chain stores and vendors want a way to provide associates with sampling and education tools but do not have the resources to do it on their own.

CosPro Marketing specializes in launch kits and on-going interaction and education kits for store associates. Kits normally contain custom designed training materials, easel cards or tester/sample displays, coupons, brochures, gift-with-purchase items along with product samples and testers. These are distributed either via a shared vendor monthly beauty box that goes DSD or to the chain’s DC’s or mail bag.

  • More than 3.6 million interaction kits shipped without missing a deadline
  • 100 million+ samples distributed in-store to date
  • Saved Walgreens vendors more than $3 million annually in shipping costs
  • 25% coupon redemption rate vs. 1% for FSI coupons and 2.7% for digital coupons
