The Brand Book goes global

Published: 12-Jan-2022

Trade without the show

Since Beauty Bulb launched The Brand Book UK in May 2021, it’s fast become the go-to digital hub to match beauty and wellness brands with leading UK retailers. In less than a year, they’ve had 70 well-known retailers and e-tailers jump on board including Boots, Amazon, The Hut Group, Space NK, QVC, Holland&Barrett, Superdrug, Content Beauty and Liberty. The Brand Book showcases new, upcoming and exciting brands from all over the world which in turn, helps Buyers to build and expand their categories.

Re-thinking business as usual, the concept was created to super-charge sales for both sides. It is super simple, productive, environmentally better and crucially saves a huge amount of time and money. Working exactly like a digital trade show, open 24/7, the platform ensures the best introductions and connections for brands in a super-affordable way. It’s been so successful, it is now global and Beauty Bulb is introducing two new platforms - The Brand Book Europe and The Brand Book Rest Of World. Beauty Bulb has already on-boarded over 150 global retail and distributor partners including Watsons, Amazon USA, Zalando, JC Penny, Clicks and Marionnaud.

‘The response to The Brand Book UK has been phenomenal. We were approached by international retailers and distributors from the get-go, which made the global expansion a natural next step. The tech platform is at the core of our digital hub but there is a human element to all that we do. The world has changed and the platform was created in response to this seismic shift with a clear goal of simplifying what is normally a very expensive and time-consuming process for beauty brands, retailers and distributors. Our long-term goal is to be the leading, global digital service specifically for the beauty & wellness industry’. Faye Speedie, Founder of Beauty Bulb | beautybulb.co.uk
