Glossier Plans To Create Social-Enabled Online Selling Platform For Own Beauty Products

August 30, 2018: 12:00 AM EST
After receiving an extra $52 million in venture capital funding, beauty brand Glossier plans to create a “social-selling website” for beauty products. According to company founder and CEO Emily Weiss, her company will build a website that combines social media and online shopping, which will allow consumers to get insights and buying tips from other users about beauty products. Weiss said the website will not be a social network that sells advertisements for revenue, but will instead be used by the company to sell its own beauty products. According to Weiss, her company's social commerce strategy aims to address the fact that despite advances in ecommerce and online retail, “the customer experience is pretty broken.”[Image Credit: © Glossier Inc.]
