Insights you will find in the whitepaper include:
- The surprising marketing channel that Sephora is leveraging to drive profitable growth
- Varying discount pricing strategies and results
- Cosmetics 2.0: The rise of virtual makeup try-ons
- From top to bottom: The highest converting non-branded search terms
