Watsons M’sia celebrates its 600th store in Pavilion 2 with gifts for shoppers – Wired PR Lifestyle Story

[This is a sponsored post with Watsons.]

When I was growing up, I remember being tagged along with my grandmother on travel Watsons shops. I think that’s one of the big reasons I still enjoy browsing pharmacies today.

However, even though I know Watsons, I never know where he came from. After some research, here is what I found.

The AS Watson Group was founded in Hong Kong in 1841 and is now the largest health and beauty store in the world. It has 15,800 retail stores under 26 brands in 26 markets and employs more than 140,000 people worldwide.

Every year, 5.2 billion shoppers visit physical stores full of light and online stores full of products. Watsons first arrived in Malaysia in 1994, and opened its first store in Holiday Plaza, Johor (and is still open today).

Within 27 years, Malaysia’s leading health and beauty store is opening its 600th store in Pavilion Bukit Jalil (PBJ).

To celebrate this milestone, the brand wants to give to its biggest sponsors (yes, myself included) by organizing events that are only available at the finish line. December 9, 2021. But first, here’s what shoppers can experience in the new store.

Watsons services, upgraded

The newest store is designed with the modern consumer in mind, so Watsons has introduced an enhanced customer experience by combining online and offline services. When you visit the store, here’s what awaits you:

1. Makeup station services

Previously, all of their beauty product customers were testers and sales assistants who explained what a product could do. Now, customers can experience a free makeover service for professional makeup artists at Watsons PBJ.

But if you don’t want to physically apply a product on your face, you can choose this …

2. #ColourMe tablet

The device is powered by Augmented Reality (AR) technology and allows customers to try out different makeup brands.

3. Personal payment meters

Watsons PBJ is also expanding its self-payment machines with a user-friendly interface. Customers will save time queuing and processing their purchases.

4. Click and Collect Express Services

If you already go to PBJ and want to get some Watsons products but want to cut the queue, this is for you. With this service, you can make online purchases and receive purchases at Watsons 4 hours later, allowing you to plan your departure accordingly.

5. Natural by Watsons filling station

Watsons will also have the second Natural by Watsons filling station for PBJ to help reduce the overall impact of plastic use. Natural by Watsons carries the 6 best-selling eco-friendly products, Aloe Vera Shampoo & Bath, Argan Shampoo, Olive Shampoo & Bath & Coffee Shampoo.

Benefits for buyers and members

1. Points and bonuses for members nationwide

To reward loyal members, Watsons is running an ongoing campaign in the store (nationwide) and offering a multiplier of RM60 points spent online, so you get 600 points. (Usually RM1 = 1 point).

That’s not all. 600., 6,000. or 60,000. If you are a lucky member, you will win a one-year free shopping prize at Watsons Malaysia stores.

Shoppers can also get a discount of up to 186 RM when they use Watsons health and beauty vouchers in their immediate store and online shopping.

2. Plenty of gift bags and vouchers

Watsons PBJ is giving away 20 RM20 vouchers to the first 100 customers who visit on December 9th. Meanwhile, the first 200 members who spend RM100 or more in the store will receive a Super Goodies Bag worth RM100.

From 5pm onwards, the first 200 members are also eligible for a RM20 voucher and a RM50 shopping bag, no purchase required.

If you can’t get there on December 9th, don’t worry, move on December 9-15, however, you can get a free RM5 voucher with a minimum purchase of RM30.

3. Year-end collection at the end of 2021

Eager to donate, Watsons Malaysia has organized a year-end sale with a variety of offerings, including:
