Sephora plans to introduce a new customer loyalty program in the UK on 2nd July. The MySephora points-driven system offers UK customers rewards based on spending and interaction with the store. Benefits include birthday gifts, improved delivery choices, and early access to events and sales. This move will help Sephora boost brand recognition as it expands in the UK, with new stores opening in London and the north.
The loyalty program has three levels: MySephora Bronze (0 to 199 points), MySephora Silver (200 to 799 points), and MySephora Gold (800 points or more). Consumers can earn points by making purchases and engaging with the brand, such as attending in-store services or writing product reviews online.
Points can be used to obtain products from a curated selection of the retailer’s top-selling brands. Gold members get free next-day delivery and exclusive early access to MySephora sales. Members can donate their points to Sephora's charity partner, Face Equality International. Existing customers will automatically enroll in the MySephora program and receive 25 bonus points.
