  4. How it works? 1. Subscribe 2. Fill out profile based on skin type, hair ect. 3. Then wait to receive your personalized birchbox! Changes based on seasons (themed boxes i.e. for April it was “Earth Day and the contents of the entire box were eco-friendly, down to the packaging which was carbon-neutral and made from recycled materials) Changes based on where you live (weather/temp differences) Changes for male and female (brown box/pinkbox)
  5. It’s for men too! I’m so excited to receive my birchbox this month! Maybe it will have some good beard grooming products… hmmm

  9. Cyber to Cement Opening their first brick-and-mortar store this May in New York. The Birchbox store will offer 2,000 products for sale, representing 150-250 brands. BYOB or “Build Your Own Birchbox” will let shoppers fill those pink boxes with samples of their choice for 15$ Creating a similar experience to Apple stores Technology at the heart of the experience with touch screens throughout the store Separate floor for classes on topics like skin care/makeup tricks, and services like hair styling
  10. Can a retailer company exist exclusively online? Examples: Ebay.com Amazon.com Overstock.com Drugstore.com Can you think of any other examples that have successfully moved from the online retail space to brick-and-mortar stores? What are some of the pros and cons of making this shift?
  11. Strength: Social Media Facebook – communicating with customers Twitter – hashtaging brands Instagram – sweepstakes, free product give aways, promoting certain brands (link under profile) video
  12. Competition: Sephora vs. Birchbox
  13. Will they continue to thrive? What will be key to success as they enter the brick-and-mortar retail space? Do they have any other hidden competition? How will they continue to capture the market after customers are pas the “discovery” phase, and have now found the brands that they love and what to remain loyal too?
