Beauty brands on the hunt for Millennial consumers should focus in on sampling. According to L2’s Beauty Sampling report, 30% of beauty enthusiasts chose sampling as their top reason to purchase a product. Sephora, which is built around the “try-before-you-buy” mentality and gives out far more samples than competitors like Nordstrom, reports the majority of visitors to their site are under 35-years-old. Heritage brands like Estée Lauder may be “under-leveraging” the sampling opportunity, even as they try to reach young consumers. (The Daily)
