SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pop-up shops are here today and gone tomorrow – but what if you could turn a one-time visit to a temporary store into a year-long personal shopping experience? Julep's new Manhattan pop-up, coming to 102 Fifth Avenue between December 13 and December 22, will invite visitors to personally experience Julep's wildly popular online Maven subscription program in the real world. Visitors can discover their style profile, customize the product mix for their monthly Maven boxes, or gift the subscription to a friend or family member. Shoppers will not only walk out of the pop-up store with their first Maven box, but also the promise of receiving a personalized assortment of Julep’s most innovative new products straight to their door each month.
"With our first pop-up, we’re bringing online retail to the physical world,” said Jane Park, CEO and founder of Julep. “Most pop-ups are temporary retail stores that leave customers thwarted when they’re gone. With the Julep New York pop-up, we’re seamlessly integrating e-commerce subscriptions into the store experience, turning a one-time shopping trip into a long-term customer relationship.”
What shoppers can do at Julep’s New York City Pop-up:
- Build a customized Maven box: Shoppers can experience Julep’s popular online Maven beauty box in-person and choose $40–$60 worth of products —including limited edition nail colors and the best-selling beauty and skincare formulas— for just $19.99. By becoming a Julep Maven in-store or purchasing a gift membership, shoppers will also receive 20% off all other purchases within the Pop-up.
- Shop Julep’s most innovative products: Through the subscription every month, Julep Mavens are given first dibs at Julep’s most innovative new-to-market products. At the Julep pop-up, shoppers will be able to shop the best of the best, including popular products such as Bare Face Cleansing Oil, Luxe Repair Skin Serum, Konjac Facial Sponge, Oxygen Nail Treatment, and Freedom Polymer Top Coat. Shoppers can also take a sneak peek the Julep Idea Lab for an inside look at the brand’s crowd sourced product development process.
