| Description | Skin Care Private Sales |
The Skinny is a members-only online shopping destination featuring luxury skin care products and spa services at affordable prices in short-term (“flashâ€) events.
Luxury skin care distribution is changing, as the upscale retail model proves unprofitable. The Skinny offers a hybrid sales and marketing solution that actively drives new customer acquisition for our brand partners through “paid trial”. The additional benefits offered to brand partners include brand awareness, inventory management and product education.
This business model has been proven in other verticals by Gilt Groupe, Rue La La, Hautelook and One Kings Lane.
The Skinny launched in November 2009 and has had 9 successful sales events.
