Clinique Netherlands launches e-shop in partnership with Emakina

The cosmetics brand Clinique has just launched its new e-commerce site for the Netherlands, with the support of its digital partner agency Emakina. The Belgian e-shop is announced to follow in a few weeks.

Clinique is a prestigious American brand offering a wide range of cosmetics, skin care, makeup and fragrances. Each Clinique skin care and makeup product is allergy tested and 100% fragrance free –  crucial in a world where allergies have been labeled the modern epidemic. All its care and makeup products are based on a dermatological heritage: adapted to each skin type and its needs for unparalleled comfort. Clinique has become a symbol of personalized beauty around the world.

The e-commerce business is currently booming: in Belgium, for example, the number of online sales rose by nearly 24% between 2010 and 2011. More and more brands are starting their own online sales service and are moving towards integrated solutions, such as Clinique’s e-commerce site, developed by Emakina.

The Clinique website for the Netherlands has been fully revised and rejuvinated. New headers create added content value to the home page and many other pages. Emakina really did a full website makeover, establishing a direct relationship with the client, inviting female or male visitors to directly buy all products online there and adding some “web exclusives”, all with delivery in 3 working days.

The new site also provides many tips to help the fairer sex choose wisely and direct every person to the product that truly matches him or her. This advice is related to beauty and skin care. It also includes a tool to make your own skin analysis, before proposing the best suited solution.

For the launch period of the site, customers are offered free shipping of the products, plus a free range of samples for their first order.
