Customer, Marketing and Online Director Matt Walburn, who is leading the development of Marketplace at Superdrug, comments “The marketplace will be a vital step for our business as we look to strengthen further our role in health and beauty retail and start to build into new associated categories.”
“We’ve been looking at ways to bring innovative and growing brands into our business more quickly and in the appropriate way to test consumer reaction.”
He concludes: “This is a crucial next step in bolstering our online and offline strategy; marketplace inventory will eventually be available to purchase virtually in-store as well as online.”
“This launch will make a listing with Superdrug now possible for more up and coming brands and give our customers a wider range to enjoy, from luxury to trending beauty and wellness hacks.”
