Sephora revamps its Beauty Insider program
Changes are coming to Sephora’s Beauty Insider rewards program.
The San Francisco-based beauty retailer announced several updates to the program, which include new gift offerings and perks.
“Since its launch in 2007, Beauty Insider has provided members with countless opportunities to receive more value and engage with their favorite brands and products in a way that only Sephora can offer,” Allegra Stanley, vice president of loyalty for Sephora, said. “Our aim is to continuously adapt and grow our Beauty Insider program as clients’ needs and wants evolve. We are on a multi-year journey focused on raising the bar on client excitement and engagement in a prestige beauty loyalty program.”
Changes to the program include:
“Not only are we offering more rewards, but we are offering more choice at every rewards moment to make her journey feel personal,” Andrea Zaretsky, senior vice president of CRM and Loyalty for Sephora, said. “These exciting new benefits are intended to give Beauty Insiders more of what they love, and underscore our appreciation for our most loyal clients.”
