Professional Makeup Advisors Available on JGlamour Forums - 02 Jun 2009
JGlamour has announced a new service via their forums (http://forums.jglamour.com) to allow customers to ask for advice related to makeup products and their application. JGlamour has hired Professional Makeup Artists who were trained in locations such as the "London School of Beauty & Make-up and who have industry experience such as bridal, photo shoots and on-set makeup. JGlamour Head of Marketing said "We were very excited to have Professional Makeup Artists join our company, it has added a new dimension which competitors such as StrawberryNet do not have. Our makeup artists have already designed lines of brushes and are now available to advise customers. We decided on the forum approach due to its more open nature which is easy to adapt to market trends, there are obviously thousands of websites providing advice but generally none have qualified artists available".
Only time will tell if this new approach succeeds, however companies such as MAC Cosmetics, Bobbi Brown and Sephora are successfully employing makeup arists in this capacity so there is an industry trend to move towards professional advisors. A company that employs professional advisors will give a customer more confidence that they are purchasing official products, in an industry where there are many counterfeit products this can be invalable.

JGlamour Wholesale Division Launched - 01 Jun 2009
JGlamour have created a wholesale division supplying beauty products including designer fragrances, makeup, skincare and tools to the beauty industry. As continued expansion into the global marketplace JGlamour has made agreements with companies in Europe, America and Asia for wholesale distribution of beauty products. Their wholesale division caters for all customers from wholesale purchase via pallets to drop-shipping for small companies including those selling on eBay.
With beauty products and especially fragrances being a multi-billion dollar worldwide industry there are an increasing number of fake products being sold via channels such as auction sites. JGlamour has made agreements with the most highly respected companies in the industry to be able to guarantee only authentic products are delivered to wholesale customers. JGlamour Head of Sourcing commented "We decided to start our wholesale division to cater for sellers who are struggling to source products from their normal channels. Our international model allows us to provide wholesale to any country in the world and with reduced shipping rates and devalation of currencies the cost of transport makes it very attractive for sellers to source products internationally from us".

JGlamour Brazilian Beauty Site Released - 01 May 2009

JGlamour International Website Released - 16 Apr 2009
In todays international marketplace capturing international sales is becoming more and more important. JGlamour have announced the release of their international website (http://int.jglamour.com) selling brand name beauty products to over 200 countries. Global ecommerce is a huge industry with continued increases in sales via the internet, consumers are being given more options to purchase products internationally and with advances in shipping operations customers need never know the products were shipped from another country.
One of the downsides to international shipments are the import duties involved in places such as Europe. Quite often these costs fall to the consumers to pay, however JGlamour have stated they are working with international logistics companies to eradicate any costs incurred and have pledged to repay import costs where possible.

New JGlamour Website - 12 Jan 2009
JGlamour has announced that they have completely revised their ECommerce website using new software to provide an enhanced customer experience and provide greater levels of information about products. Matthew Whittaker, Head of Web Services, told us "There were many challenges in the software selection evaluating many different solutions as solving the complexities of international distribution became paramout. After many months of evaluation we decided on a very robust and scalable solution, the team worked over many months with designers, the Christmas period was the most frantic with the looming deadline however we hit our timescales and rolled out the new site as scheduled."
Over the coming months new country specific websites are scheduled to be released including Brazil, Russia, Australia, Czech Republic, Lithuania and Poland. There have always been many challenges waiting for companies releasing sites to new countries including translation, local marketing and distribution of products to customers without delays. In todays global economy the benefits normally outweigh the risks and can lead to increased sales, providing products to customers who may not have access to these before, and expansion in to new and upcoming markets.
